Uh, as a former "Cement Swamper " , thats Houston to you other folks, GO TEXAS ! Ed Shaver

Well, it's certainly different ! Ed Shaver

Hummmmmmm. how long before Bill Geary gets to display his car model kit there ???? Us ordnary builders wanna know .......... Ed Shaver

Where did you find the lawn chair and the radio , ? Most interesting.......... Ed Shaver

Ernie m ya ole coot , yer always full of suprises ! I can't take advantage of what you have this time as I don't have a working printer . I consider my self lucky to even have a working computer as most of the time , it's down over something . Anyway , you have a good Christmas an stay offin the Black Canyon Freeway ! Ed Shaver

Hush , it's supposed to rain even more Sunday and next Tuesday too ! at this rate we'll tie Houston for a high water table ! Ed Shaver

Looks fine to me , but then I'm an over the hill hippy . Ed Shaver

Thats something you don't often see , ( The piano hinge garage doors ) That style of door wasn't often used as the heavy tracks needed to support such a door were indeed cumbersome . I rented in such a garage for years and there was a Greek Revival Atlantic service station here that can be found on the web using this stle of door . Keep us posted of this interesting project too. Ed Shaver

John, I remember that kit from YEARS ago . It had some flaws like the shallow interior tub. Overall and considering the tools and dies of that era , it wasn't too bad . I dare say you could just drop in Revell parts without some modifications though. That's just my personal take on the subject..... Ed Shaver

Yes I dared the unhinkable, combining a A M T chassis , engine with Revell parts ........... Ed Shaver

Uh , ya'all realize that it snowed in Houston of all places today ......... Sposed to hit 26 degrees tonight too ! I can tell ya from living there , Thats very miserable and cold as the Gulf aint but 18 minutes away in certain places ! I owned a business there for years . We think it's cold at 42 degrees ! Ed Shaver

59 Ford's wow, thats starting to make feel real old as I used to work on them when they were common on the roads ! Ed Shaver

I know I attempted a couple of airplanes with out sucess. Tne first car was a result of A M T and Ford having a contest to promote floor traffic into Ford showrooms in 1961 . Henry Ford II was friends with A M T's president and pretty much , thats how Fords always had engines and the Chevrolets didn't in 58-60 annual kits . Anyway repeated story short , I ent to the nearest Ford dealer being Richmond Ford still on Broad street in Richmond Va and I received a 1961 Ford Thunderbird convertable , just for showing up ! It was a regular $ 1.49 dollar kit just like the ones at the hobby store . Molded white and loaded with customizing parts ! I built it stock . The hurricane Agness took it as well as every other kit I had collected to that point in 1973 . Anyway , I can only tell ya the were washed out to the Atlantic Ocean . Ive spent the years since trying to replace several of the more " Noteable kits " like a 1962 Buick Special wagon for example . Ed Shaver

I envey ya man . Here in de " Land dat Time forgot , Richmond Va. we get one club , the INTERNATIONAL PLANE AN TANK SOCIETY an it's sooooo boring . heck they rol oer ever time I ever brought a gas pump model to a chapter contest . We get one contest a year and its aircraft themed. No wonder I came to ya'alls contest two years ago , I wanted somebody to actually look at my stuff ! Ed Shaver

Very very very very very nice !!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Hummmmm, it would look nice at one of my service stations ! Ed Shaver

Chuck - Differnt an neat at the same time !!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Charles , I bet Daryll is proud of you ! Then too, I bet Dennis Doty would like to see this one . He published the old Model Car Journal back in the 1980's . He writes now for Collectable Automobille Magazine . He was always in love with the Predicta as he did an extensive article on that car once . Ed Shaver

Most ineresting car . You certainly never see these every day . I'm curious though as Jo- Han once kitted such a car back in 1962 . Sure looks like A M T managed to salvage the body mold from the old Jo- Han tool . I may be wrong though ............. Ed Shaver

Harry, Kevin was warned about trading ANY THING ! I'll listen to what he has to say even tough I may not always agree with what he has to say . That's why they call me a Libertarian ! Ed Shaver

What an unusual build there ! please keep us posted as to the progress on this car/ truck ! Ed Shaver

Aaron , I looked at the program last night and now this neat drawing ! Way kool , I wish you the best , keep us posted on this project too . Ed Shaver

Squiddy , use the liquid latex sold in the local craft shops to the railroad model builders . I have also used Red Silicone sealer with mixed results for one piece molds too . Ed Shaver

Greg, that wonderful ! I think it's great when someone here spreads some good news ! Stick to it my man and remember , A BALANCED DIET IS EVERYTHING ! that comes from Radio Talk show host , Dr Michiael Savage . Yes, he's the same talker who runs down Obama an hiss Minions too George. Ed Shaver

Yer right Chuck , I hit the wrong key , it should read " C " -600 , As to a Quad headlight system , that would make the truck you played with a 58 to 60 model . Ford only used the quad headlights a couple of years . Ed Shaver
