  1. Congratulations James and thank you. About 40 years ago I was a forward observer for a 105mm battery. The gun grunts of the 1st Battalion/13th Marines could pump out rounds all day and night when needed. They were fantastic to work with. Don't know much about the Army - except they Ain't Ready for Marines Yet. Best of luck to you.

    55 chevy

    Good lookin' 55. I like the Lee Plastics taillights and the diorama is superb.
  3. Isn't that a Plymouth Superbird?
  4. Just got back from a shopping spree - picked a can of Duplcolor Chrome paint, .062 rosin core solder for headers, and a 4 pack of Perfect Pearls. And the rest of the paver bricks just arrived - we're refinishing the inside of the pool and covering the deck with the paver bricks. Also got a call abck from the Census Bureau. Looks like I'll be starting to work for them part time next week.
  5. Don't care for those kind of wheels/tires, but enjoyed the details of your build.
  6. Looking very nice, Steve.
  7. What an excellent idea - and looks extremely nice too!
  8. The kit pic is kinda fuzzy but it looks like you nailed it as a replica of your real car. Nice.
  9. Congratulations Brian. Being retired I don't have to worry about the job scene. Best of luck to you.
  10. I voted real because of the valve stems.
  11. Hey Dave, your pickup is looking mighty good. Keep it going!
  12. Update - Sprectra Chrome wasn't too interested in having me down there for such a small application. I was told though that their Magic Chrome is closer to a polished aluminum rather than chrome. The Spectra Chrome is the real chrome look and is a water based system (heard that before?). The cheapest kit for Spectra Chrome is about $2500.00. Maybe I'll try the DupliColor chrome.
  13. They sell a pint of "Magic Chrome" for $175.00. But does it really work? Maybe I can figure a way to get down there - it's about 1.5 - 2 hours south. I sent an email to Spectra Chrome in an attempt to go down and check them out. If they agree, I'll bring some plain stuff and try to get them chromed. There're other places that offer spray chrome if you do a google.
  14. Scale leather upholstery tutorial - bring it on!! I'm ready to learn. Pack plenty of details in there Dave. Looking forward to seeing it and trying it out.
  15. Looking really good Gary.
  16. Bought a '62 Pontiac, .080 Evergreen rod, and a can Testor's dullcote at the LHS and a '60 Chevy Quicksilver at Hobby Lobby with the 40% off coupon. Also got the oil changed in my pickup.
  17. I posted about Michaels 50% off coupon on Saturday. Sign up at both Michaels & Hobby Lobby and they'll email the coupons to you every week.
  18. Whop de do for your Subaru. It looks really cool. Those fenders make it.
  19. I'd like to see something about parts but not a whole car from the ground up. But then I'm assuming you're talking about a rail, and I don't do racecars.
  20. Today's Hobby Lobby online ad has a 40% any one item of regular price. If you haven't signed for Hobby Lobby weekly coupons, you might want to think about it.
  21. Aha - Radio Shack. Next week when I'm up towards Ocala. Thanks. Ignition wire I get from Rick at Scale Dreams. He has lots of colors and they fit through the Model Car Garage wire looms.
  22. Yeah Grandpa. Keep us posted. And there's concern for Gregg in Hawaii too.
  23. Looks like a factory original. Sweet.
  24. Hope everyone will be okaay and there's not too much damage.
