Wow, what a nice job on that! Where did you find the engine/transmission? Charlie Larkin

This is unfortunate, as it makes it a little tougher to get paint for middle-vintage cars that you can't always get from Dupli-Color or Plasti-Kote or that MCW might not have the formulae/materials to mix properly. Hopefully, Jameson will be back up and running shortly. Charlie Larkin

I've seen pictures of the old cotton-covered wires that were yellow with black stripes. No idea who made them, though. I know Kanter Auto Products offers those as part of a tune-up kit for pre-1950 cars, and I would imagine that the design has some basis in historical accuracy. Charlie Larkin

Actually, I've seen a couple of similar services prowling the wealthier areas of MetroWest (the area of Rtes. 9 and 20 between roughly Boston and Worcester, Ma.,) I'll try to keep a camera in the car, and next time I see one of their cars going by, I'll make an effort to take a picture. With Rt. 9 being basically stopped from 6:30A.M.-6:30P.M., it shouldn't be too tough. Charlie Larkin

If I could do even five percent of this... Charlie Larkin

Nice job, and impressive that you did it in a moving car. Charlie Larkin

Very nice job. Do you happen to know about what ratio you used for mixing that engine paint? Charlie Larkin

The Wayside Inn grist mill in Sudbury, Ma. This was built in 1922 by Henry Ford (yes, that one,) who owned Longfellow's Wayside Inn at the time, and most of the land that is now called Wayside Village, on the Marlborough/Sudbury line. Charlie Larkin

Some very cool stuff. I took these in 2010. This was the old Bancroft Chrysler-Plymouth on Bancroft St. in Worcester, Ma. They took down the late 1980s remodel and have since covered this back up. The building is now apartments. Charlie Larkin

I think that might make a really cool October theme issue...think pink, with a portion of the proceeds going to one of the proceeds going to a reputable cancer research institution- Mayo, Dana Farber, etc. Perhaps some '50s builds, doing some type of pink stucco building, like we're seeing in Virgil's roadside pictures, or something like that. We have enough creative people that we can pull this off. Mom's going on 3 years remission; one of my closest friends lost his mother to this when we were sophomores in high school. Time to end the reign of terror this horrible illness in all its forms causes. Charlie Larkin

The Mini might be fun. Perhaps the GNX; I never got one of those first-time around. Between those, the Olds, '57 Ford and Corvette, Revell will have some nice stuff coming out over the next few months. Charlie Larkin

Hi, Steve. I'll offer my assistance for any legal research or anything like that if you'd like (I'm a paralegal by training,) and would be happy to help you fellas if you need it, just let me know what I can do. I was curious...are you online yet? Charlie Larkin

Cool. Thanks, Harry. Charlie Larkin

If you get any answers, Harry, please let me know, too. I have some projects I'm considering working on, and would like to talk to somebody who does figure modeling. Charlie Larkin

The Stovebolt could almost be displayed as its own model. I must agree, it's a beautiful molding. I have both bodies and I'm looking forward to the sport coupe due out later this year. Now, if Galaxie would do a 1941 model, which I think is a really pretty car. Charlie Larkin

That's about the only thing I've found I'm not too fond of on my Hornet- the loose gas door. I understand why the did it, but still... The Ebony Black/Toro Red is a striking combination. I'm leaning towards Boston Ivory with red, similar to my Friend Norm's 1951 Commodore 6 convertible. Despite the little hiccups, the Hornet is still one of the nicest kits I've seen overall in quite some time. I'll look forward to grabbing one of the convertibles, too. Charlie Larkin

Glad to see all is going better, Mike. Introduce her to Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cooking; still tastes good, and much, much better for you. This Armenian kid's been having it in one way, shape or form for years, and I can attest that it's really good food when done right. Check out this for a start on it. http://www.armeniapedia.org/wiki/Adventures_in_Armenian_Cooking http://www.armeniapedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Cooking_Books Charlie Larkin

Geez, is that black glossy! Wow! I don't think black/red was a factory option in '56, which is too bad, because it does look nice on that car. Great job. Your work is very, very good, and a credit to the forum. Charlie Larkin

Nice build. Definitely nice to see something a little different. Charlie Larkin

I forgot I bookmarked this one. Thanks for reminding me, Vince. Charlie Larkin

Linked, bookmarked. Charlie Larkin

Eesh....I didn't think it was possible to make it any worse, but someone with Photoshop managed.... I will say, from the side, it doesn't look too bad, but that front is terrible. Charlie Larkin

I might give this stuff a shot for some unchromed resin parts I have. I like the results I see, and if it's more durable than Al-Clad, it's a bonus. Charlie Larkin
