  1. Very nice.
  2. Living on the southern side of Michigan I think the people in the UP have a Canadian accent. My cousin married a girl from Long Island NY and they now live in Nashville. He sounds the same as when he left here her on the other hand has a mixed up accent.
  3. Looks great. I was looking for the stick figure family in the back window.
  4. Welcome
  5. Is the old polyspherical head engine the one that is called the big 318? I like the way this car is turning out. Not everything sold down here had V8's with an automatic in them. That was a 70's thing then the 80's brought the love of cheap Air in cars. Many cars were purchased in the states with the old super 6 around here. I live in a town with a hydra matic plant and the jeep plant. With Detroit an hour away one would think that the Muscles cars were everywhere but most of the employees were frugal back then. An uncle worked at Hydra matic and his second to last new truck was a 6 with a three on the tree. The last of the square body chevy 1/2 ton trucks. Dad worked at Ford and had one the same way.
  6. Stopped by a flee market and picked up a Lindberg Dodge Caravan for 5 bucks, still factory sealed.
  7. Make it the push car, like you see guys do with quads all the time now.
  8. Does the 48 car come with the hidden Nitrous Bottle?
  9. AC DC for me. Favorite Inxs song Mystify form KICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26ELh7P2ZtA
  10. I was discussing your need at work and looking through the catalogs on the shelf to order stuff. I just thought let's see what the pop can thickness is for a reference . We both know how flexible the pop can is not sure how flexible the shim stock would be. We only have brass and steel.
  11. Here in Detroit Tigers area we have cute fans. Kate Upton http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=kate+upton+at+detroit+tigers+game&view=detailv2&&id=7351BAAE2AD9A74725BFC8689702AC24CBED209B&selectedIndex=21&ccid=WctQ84Xl&simid=608019863713875249&thid=OIP.M59cb50f385e5beff35d5c3e2b34beb78o0&ajaxhist=0
  12. So I just opened one of the Lindberg F150 kits and it has the stock tires and wheels. I thought they had the other wheels and tires in the box. hhmmm lol
  13. If it was a tooling issue that had to be repaired with a new slide that might have been the reason. It would have been faster and cheaper to make it smooth with no windows or markings for them.
  14. I stopped in the Monroe MI store at lunch today, not much left. I asked the girl stocking what they had in back and she said nothing. Everything was on the shelf. Then I asked if the boxes came with different kits and she said yes , you do not know what is in the case when you open it. Apparently people were at the store getting kits out of the box before they even hit the shelves. LOL
  15. I have not seen models at Odd Lots for about 10 years around here, and as others have said even then it was not what they used to carry. My last good source for closeouts was KB Toys but then they went under around here.
  16. Tom have you tried just picking up some shim stock? McMaster Carr sells it in 50" and 100" rolls 6" wide. http://www.mcmaster.com/#shim-stock/=11z5euw No more harsh chemicals just cut and polish. I cut open a orange crush can at work and it was .004 thick. Just for a reference for you on thickness.
  17. Jesse I was warned about this last october so I picked up a couple for myself.
  18. Now this is the deal of the week. I sure hope the chrome addon falls off the grill for you also. Seems every kid glued that thing on these trucks.
  19. Sure looks nice.
  20. I have Jim with mixed results. The one close to home is A 15 minute drive in light traffic and the phone call takes like 5 to 10 minutes. It gets me out of the house before work. LOL The one by work I call again mixed results, if the right guy answers I get an answer. Mostly they are too busy to answer with a light staff.
  21. Good idea. I like it.
  22. Our Toledo Store had two airplanes and a small empty section yesterday. Need to stop back in This store normally has models when they run a sale. I think I get the new flyers on tuesdays.
  23. No picture are showing up Mark.
