I gotta be honest. When I see the words 69 Shelby on ANY site I imagine the worst. I have yet to see a really good build. Now, perhaps I have missed a few. There is that. But, I am loathe to click one. So let it be known that i LOVE yours! Perhaps the color is not my taste but the build is sweet. And that is what matters. Well played old man. Bob

"Holy Grail" Models?
Dragline replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Aurora Racing Scenes stuff is something I wish could be redone. I bought a sealed VooDoo Vega a few years ago so that's off the list, but the rest would be nice. I also would like the Snake and Mongoose rear engine cars reissued. There are quite a few Tom Daniel kits I'd love to see as well. The Monogram 1/32 gassers were VERY cool too! I think there were at least 3 of em. All the Museum Pieces and Early Iron cars reished would also be sweet. Bob -
I must be sleeping. How did I miss this build? Excellent work at every point dude. Lots of clever stuff I plan on pilfering for my stuff. That accelerater pedal is sublime. Seriously. Bob

How Much Do You Have Invested ?

Now, if we were to talk Musical gear?? I'm sitting here typing this and I see 25,000 in gear... Of course I made a decent living playing music for 18 years and between that and the garage, I did well for many years. Bob -

How Much Do You Have Invested ?
Dragline replied to XJ6's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Were I to sit down and tabulate it all from the beginning I'd have more than enough to buy a large home. As for what I have currently? Enough to buy an average new car. Bob PS: I'm counting vintage kits on todays market as well as supplies and sundries and new kits. -
Killer in every respect. Just a great platform to show off the goods. Bob

My Inspirational Model Car
Dragline replied to Romell R's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
For me at first it was just cars [i was little], but By the 80's guys like Don Fahrni, Russ Schwenkler and Randy Derr were building things that I loved and doing it VERY well. After I'd stopped for many years [booHoo], I picked up the "other" mag and started back in a little. Then, when I found this forum and MCM mag I have never looked back. I'm inspired by anyone here who has posted a WIP or completed work. I love this place. Bob -
