UFO's sure I believe they are around the earth. Just look at all of the ancient ruins that have built objects that are seen from the sky. I made a comment at the Moon festival in Wapakoneta Ohio one time as a joke to a point about the so called moon landing. You should have seen the look the kid gave me about saying anything around there. The Neil Armstrong air and space museum is there. Nice small town to visit and the moon festival has a nice little car show.

Why do we do it? When I started looking to buy kits there was very few at the hobby stores anymore. That was the start of the decline. I found the toy shows in Toledo and was surprised at the prices of kits and things that you just could not find. I have no real reason for buying what I do. Better than paying for beer only to flush it 30 minutes later. LOL

The Johan label lessons their chance of a lawsuit.

Tom what is the make of this bus going to be? There was a bus made in Loudinville OH Flexible I think was the name.

This is a great build. That 6 in the truck is fine. The roads back than were not the super speedways we have now. I have driven a Chevy truck with a 6 in it hauling a load of pumpkins that weighted more than a couple of ton and had no trouble getting to 55.

I was looking at the photo's and did not see 10,000 to 15,000 in value. That being said what I see in the photo's. There are some intakes off of cars in the one photo, so maybe there is more of that stuff sitting around. The die cast stuff you will have a hard time giving away from what the sellers at shows have said. As far as her value she has in mind, more power to her to know there is value. She does need to get a few tables at the Kalamazoo toy show coming up.

Ray didn't you say this was your first car before.

The 60 ford kit has been mentioned as well as the Edsel in the past to up date this era Ford. Though the are not correct they look better than the one piece unit. I guess it just depends how picky you are with what is correct. I think the 60 Ford kit has 2 engines in one of the offerings.

There big problem was rust in bad spots. My friend that sold the truck has a project short bus another pickup from the 50's and several cars. The ones that do run, run well and are smooth.

That is the stock bed on these trucks. My friend just sold his. They were purchased from another company by Studebaker. Something about money problems for tooling. What a shame that they could not do a bed for these trucks that fit the cab better. Someplace around 62 for the year.

Maybe if they had their own wheel they saved money.

That is a good video.

Looks great

Joe I am North of 50 so I will not be a dad unless I meet a girl that has kids. So i have been safe from all of my purchases. I somehow never had to babysit kiddo's overnight from my brothers and sisters mostly because of my rule no diapers. Just remember my Uncle rule, You always have a shoulder to lean on and an ear to listen when they need it.

Congratulations. Glad everyone is OK. If you are a first time Uncle we can advise on all the good loud toys for you to buy, because that is what a good uncle does.

If a few Coke decals and box art get us kits that would not have came out then so be it.

Joe I hope everything is good with all involved. The wait is the worst.

It is good to see you back. I like the bench.

Yes I do. Hard copies I love them.

I get one at least. It looks like this coke deal is paying off as we are seeing some different models fixed or modified to get back on the market.

Tom this is what I was thinking but could not place the thread I wanted to have cloned.

Yes David.

Wow is all I have.

Nice to see the other brands that won a race, done in scale.

This is cool. I like the extra's.
