  1. I can't believe the detail on your engine. Looks awesome!
  2. When you make the body is it real thin like a clear plastic r/c body? I'd think I'd like to try building one.
  3. Good looking Mustang. Doesn't Illinois require a front license plate anymore? I'm trying to find a billet grill like that for my 2010 Frontier.
  4. Extremely cool T bucket. Gorgeous work.
  5. I checked. The latest I have is #148. Sure is nice to be notified that a new issue is available. I guess this calls for a ride to the LHS tomorrow.
  6. Excellent looking build and real nice garage setting.
  7. What's on the cover of #149? How come the website pic hasn't been updated in 5 or 6 months?
  8. Real nice.
  9. Congratulations. When in San Diego I always stop at the recruit depot (boot camp) right next to the airport. Mission Bay used to be a great place. If you go to the Peterson place, take lots of pics to share with us. have a great time!
  10. Thanks for the postive feedback.
  11. Thank you for the postive replies. Fellow Vietnam Veterans - WELCOME HOME! Don't know if any of you are involved with the Veterans community, but if not, you should be. There's new info coming out that could relate to your service in Vietnam - prostate cancer, heart disease, Parkinson's - that are presumptive diseases.
  12. Holy cow!!! There's 8 pages already! Enough talk - let's cut to the chase and get the changes made already. I don't know how to make a website but Marcia does and she can crank a really decent one out in a manner of hours. I'd volunteer her for the MCM Forum website but I might get in trouble. She thinks I'm goofy at 62 years old still playing with model cars. Of course I think she's goofy for playing Face Book games and trying to get more Face Book friends. Time to get tonight's pizza casserole going. Everyone have a fantastic evening and don't forget that "Dancing With Stars" is on tonight and as soon as Marcia goes to bed, I turn on WWE wrastlin (spelled like I pronounce it, not the proper spelling).
  13. The HOK root beer is much different from Testor's 1 coat root beer. The chassis is done with the Testor's stuff. Thanks for the reply beefheart22.
  14. Thanks Foxer.
  15. What do you use 20 gauge wire for?
  16. Hey Don - I painted some plates like that and have used them on my last few builds and will put one on every kit from now on. I need to print some on the color printer with photo paper. Marine Corps here - 1st Battalion/13th Marines. Northern Artillery Contonement (about 10 miles west of DaNang), 1969-70. Welcome Home, Brother.
  17. Just completed my custom Riv. It's painted with HOK candy pearl purple.
  18. Here's some pics of my build painted with HOK candy pearl root beer. Pegasus Tri-Blade wheels. Behind the rear tube grille is a full width taillight.
  19. No. Gianorio's in Winfield. In a strip mall on the southwest corner of County Farm Road and Geneva Road (I think). It's been 9 years since I left, but they were in Winfield. Sure is a ton of information offered about changing the forum. I like it the way it is. I don't think you'll ever be able to change it to make everybody happy. I think it's imporant to enhace the categories we have now and not eliminate anything. I usually poke "View New Content" so I don't think the proposed changes would affect me much. I need to get my '62 Catalina (custom), '67 Coronet (street machine), and '65 Riviera (custom) done before everything changes and I won't know where to post them. To the shop!!
  20. I mentioned West Chicago because my neighbor drives up there. Gianorio's pizza in Winfield would be great to go along with some Portillo's beef.
  21. Who said anything about free? If you leave now, you could be here for dinner tomorrow, but I haven't decided what to make yet. From West Chicago, IL to Citrus Springs, FL is a 17 hour drive straight through. (Feel free to bring 5 or 10 pounds of Portillo's Italian beef and several loaves of their bread).
  22. I love the rear wheels on the ProMod. Whose are they?
  23. When will this new format happen? Did anyone think about setting it up and then have beta testers check it out before going to everyone? I used to be pretty good with computers (when DOS was king) but I've lost expertise over the years. I think it would be good to get some computer challenged people to check it out first. And dummy (talking to myself) those werten't recipes yesterday, they were the menu. I changed tonight's menu - we're having pizza casserole, salad (with tomatoes), and french bread. Dinner will be about 6:45pm in case anyone wants to stop by.
