    We had a used color tv for a couple of years when Grandpa moved to Cali. So from 75 until 83 we had a 21 inch black and white at home that did sit on the old TV. I was one of 11 children. We were not rich cash wise, but we were rich with family then.

    The shows that are from that era are great for watching or looking in the back ground. Not bad shows but times have changed with television and it makes some older shows cheap or hokey to some.

    Don't give up Scott.

    Even "flushable " wipes are not that at all. My X liked to use those. Nothing like a backed up toilet because of it. If you think it is flushable do a simple test. Get 2 buckets of water. Fill 1/2 way to the top place the wipe in one and the equal amount of TP in the other. If the wipe does not break down as fast as the TP it is not flushable.

    There have been a few done in scale, but none as nice as this.

    Being that you are driving on rough roads that much anything you buy is going to need the suspension serviced sooner than normal. I loved my 2012 4x4 Explorer for towing and driving. I got 22 MPG on country roads . Not city or high way if that makes sense. In fact it towed my trailer better than my 97 1/2 ton Chevy Pickup with a V8.

    If you like the box art it can become cheap Art for the shed or back drop for the shelf. I agree with the instructions mailed to Casey.

    I went to an estate sale on the last day. I am not sure what was there before I got there for the start of the sale. I seen a 3 car garage with radios everywhere you looked on the shelves.

    I don't think that is possible anymore.

    Wood brothers cars are great, and you did a Fine job.

    Great Idea Scott. I am interested also.

    This is looking good.

    What if you tried to make the headlight look like a modern headlight? Like the headlights on an F150. Chrome reflector back with clear front and a single light in the center of the square.

    They both look great Ray.

    The color, engine and the long low and wide are in full play. sure looks like a car from the future that would have been drawn in the 50's or 60's.

    I like it. Wide tires out back, and my favorite grill from the mid 50's Fords.

    Being that Kevin VanDam is a Michigan native and was at sport shows I went to around this time I wonder why I have not seen this before.
  18. 1930fordpickup
    Ron you could also ask if they are attending any shows in the future. Face to face is always better.

    Daniel just remember this guy is not a pro. So some of the video's are hooky, but the info is great. Spent a lot of hours watching his video's , LOL. The Mel Kenyon story is very cool also.

    Daniel here is a link to a guy that interviews old sprint car drivers and builders from my area ( MI, OH, IN) about the era you are building now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7pO5PTZEaI

    Welcome aboard from the bottom of the state. There is a nice model show and swap meet in Macomb twice a year. You just missed the spring show. The next one is in November 13th at the Macomb Community College.

    Welcome aboard. Nice intro. Your Blue truck looks nice also. I like the idea of bolting the fenders together to paint.
  23. 1930fordpickup
    Mike what if you try one of those tiny magnets I have seen used on here before or a couple of short posts on the hood that catch the front fenders?
  24. 1930fordpickup
    That is very narrow. the rear axle does not even have springs on the real car. Tom Let me look I may have the 55 Chevy Kit above. No Decals if I still have it though.

    You will all be surprised and scratching your head within seconds. I bet the thread is locked within 4 pages.
