Weeeeell, in the real world, you could build such a vehicle. Its differentand thats what retained my attention. I love the color scheme now..... Uh try unexposed color film to replace youre windows. Thats been the one thing ive used suscessfully over the years to get a " Factory Tint" look to glass. Ed Shaver

Nice wirk sir..... I would 't have used the 348 though. They were really not as popular as some would have you beleive. Actually, they were designated for trucks. I never cared for them because they were so hard on a set of main bearings. Ed Shaver

Kurt, I dont understand all the things Ive seen In my life time and probably never will . Hey Its pretty much a harmless night where adults who will never grow up decide to party as though it was their 8th birthday! Course as a former taxi driver , I could report about the seedier sides Ive seen as well. Still, this IS MODEL CARS! Not HOLLYWOOD BLVD NITES! Ha ha and yall thought I was going to be X RATED !!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Hey Aron, if they have a 56 Bruck, like the one in the old Television show like telebision that was worth watchin , uh take a picher for me O K ? Ed Shaver

O K O K O K O K Kevin Im gonna throw my take on this , here goes.............. How about a 1928 Lincon ?????? Yeah.... A 1928 Lincon with the littttttlllleeee tennnnnnnniiiieeeeeeeeeee Tires and that SMOKIN V-8 under da hood > Dude can you say maybe I did some bad drugs in da sixties? Ed Shaver Oh yes children I build gasoline pumps too !

Mike I own and have restored a couple of Real 53 Ford trucks. First I dont know why you cant have a car hauler . Ford did offer an extended chassis for the F-300 series. It took the 5 lug one ton Budd wheels and they were powered by either the Big Lincon " E- L Series Flat head s or the new Y block engine that you would see in the Thunderbird. I beleive if you take the pieces from the Model King Racers Wedge, you should be able to make you're dream come true. I might add, very nice art there too. Keep us inquiring minds posted ! Ed Shaver

Hey Justin Im not a computer person as I have some one else post my photography here on the board. They use a program called FOTKI . Seems to work well for them. I just know Im supposed to set my digital camera to the least possible setting . Thins seem to work well from there. Im still in love with a Crown Grapxics I bought from a vendor in Fort Worth Years ago. It take nice big negitives , only problem is you really can't find 120 format t film any more!!!! Ed Shaver

Kevin you need to meet my wife shes into GOTH and stuff like that, hel every bodys got a hobby, mines a 53 Ford Truck !Now dont eat so much candy that you get sick Ed Shaver

Heh heh heh , I still use the Testors Rattle cans, aint nuthin wrong wit em . I use em cause theys always ready to go . I like the Krylons and the Wal worlds El crappo and da Ace Hard ware and da Michiels Art store too. Air brushes are handy, dont get me wrong. they have their place. They ar e tools and so are the Rattle cans ! This is supposed a hobby . Well to some its a form of religion but thats for certsain LETTERED MODEL ORGANAZATIONS TOO ! look I build for fun and I build for other people. I enjoy it either way. I share what I do with you all here enjoy ------NOW GO BUILD SUMTHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ED shaver

John, I take each kit as a project unto itself. Take for example the 1957 Chevrolet Cameo from A M T . I bought a Jimmy Flintstone body from the local Hobby shop where I live. The body begged me to take the extra time to sand the back of that grille and put it on the truck! I cant help it guys, blame it on Chuck Jordan, he had amajor hand in designing the 1955-57 trucks for G M then. Ed Shaver

gREG, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME IVE LOGGED ON TODAY. sO FAR, SO GOOD. Ed shaver

Im a freelance writer as well as a professional modelbuilder. I got into modelbuilding as a result of wanting to own certain cars. Still, I enjoy archecture, history, old cameras, old advertising, art exibits and an ocasional baseball outing. Espesially when the Texas Rangers are winning too. Ed Shaver

Dave, were you working with me when the same thing happened at Capital Garage here in Richmond Virginia? Yeah we had 15 foot ceilings in the place. when Virginia Commonwealth University came over to buy the old place in 1993, the tire mark wa sstill visable on the ceiling! As for the fellow working on the dragster, how did he retain both his hands? Ed Shaver
