Gregg

I have been working on this one for a while 40 Willys Altered States Resin body (Luv yah, Chuck!) Brass grille by Bob Dudek, need to finish and chrome/nickel plate it. Rims will be from Bob also Maybe I'll bring this to NNL East?

I'VE BEEN WAITING FIVE YEARS FOR MINE!!!! Just kidding (It's only been six years) Seriously, Randy is doing what most of us only dream we could do. I give that guy (and friend) credit! Now, Randy, where's my 333?????

I have used nail polish for decades. Still my favorite, and cheapest, way to paint. I prep body with a lacquer primer surfacer, then a sealer, wet sand, and then thin nail polish with lacquer thinner, starting at 200%, then down to 100% (2 parts thinner, one part paint, then one to one) I have the best results from "NAPA" brand slow reducer/thinner, but have good results from City Mill (Our local hardware store) lacquer thinner. The key is light coats, and let it flash out in between. Nail polish has thousands of different colors, and are relatively cheap I buy the .99 cents ones, unless the "Revlon" brands have a color I really want or need. Just go with wife or girl friend to buy, those looks the girls at the counter give me heeby jeebies......

Who you calling ugly????? I wish I owned or watched TV. Anyone know if there is an online version of this? Or anyone can send a link? Time to grab the ball and start running!!!!! Yeah, baby!!!! What a great show that was. So last minute So much fun Got to meet Mr Pure Hell, Rich Guasco, gave Norm Grabowski some h e double L, brought Brad Leisure on board, picked up a fantastic print from Dave Kurz, bought a ton of t-shirts (Gregg spent money!!!!), and had a blast!!!!!

You funny What hair?

We are all checked in and kicking back. What a life!!!! See you guys in the morning!

I don't think I have ever been more excited before a show than this year's NNL West. Look at the highlights: Jim Keeler is our special guest Our west coast crew will be there: Darryl Gassaway, John Oszajca, Kurt Wilson, and our NNL West Family Maybe it's because the magazine is on time, ahead of schedule Or maybe it's because Kelly is coming with me, first time in over ten years Or, could it be Biscuit and Blues on Saturday night Or, just maybe, a great room at the St. Francis after a night of blues and cajun food in San Fran? All I know is the NNL West 2009 is going to be a weekend to remember! It's going to be a great show, probably one of the best ever. Recession? That's only a word. It's the spirit of this country that will get everyone through the hard times. Okay, I pau!

THANKS GUYS!!! It's 11:00 p.m., and getting ready to go to NNL West It will be a great show! Thanks, guys! This year will be the start of great things to come. April is on the press, May/June will be good to go with coverage of the NNL West. Can I ask for more???

And get your okole down to the NNL West and you will meet the person behind the legend. Yes, SHE will be there, her first show with me since I started MCM. Last show she went to was NNL East back in 97, I think, when we took over Plastic Fanatic.

Me, Me, and Me. Yes, It's all about me......

No, those are THE shirts I will try to do another batch with the logo on the front I like that better myself It's just these guys, the new shirt people, wanted an arm and a leg to do the logo on the front I was trying to see if I could do it myself three colors, simple screens Unless someone wants to volunteer?????

I sent it out a while ago, at least two weeks! I will double check my list Stranger things have happened!!!!!!

Another Special Guest!!! My wife, partner, better half, love of my life, Kelly, will be coming with me!!! Yes, this is the first time in probably ten years she has come to a show with me. Now, everyone, you have to be on your best behavior. No telling of my secrets.

Jim Keeler will be our guest at the NNL West next weekend. Be sure you guys make it to this show and meet the man, the legend, and my dear friend. See you all there next weekend.

What are you guys talking about? Someone smoking something funny? ahhh, the power of the pen, I mean mouse....

MACS rule!!!! Will be picking up MacBook Air for shows and traveling, and portable LCD projector to flash photos on wall while shooting. Had a Titanium PowerBook for years, till I rolled over in bed and cracked the screen. Picked up new white MacBook, it's fast, and doesn't know how to crash. Home system is a killer: dual 2.3ghz, 8GB Ram, two 1.5 TB hard drives, two 24" monitors one 19", four external HD's about 3TB total, two 13x19 printers, laser printer, etc etc. etc. Sure, there are not as much programs for MACs but you can run Windows on the new MACs now anyway!

Get a MAC or I will never talk to you again. Case closed!

The April issue was just sent to the office. Should be on the press by end of February Okay, so now what are you guys going to complain about now???? :-) Thanks, Harry!! We are on schedule, and ahead of the game now! Seriously, this could not have been done without Harry's help and energetic enthusiasm to get MCM on track! April issue out in March? OMG@@@!!!!!

Dunch of brunks!!!!!!

Yes, it's true. Model Cars is bringing in Jim Keeler all the way from Salt Lake City to be our special guest at the great NNL West March 7, 2009. Jim is a icon of our hobby, and a very dear friend. I hope this motivates some of you who where still deciding on whether or not to come out to the NNL West. See you all in a couple of weeks!
