Bill I hate you, like I need more voices in my head telling me this stuff. I was thinking about Magnum kit. But the viper wasn't on my radar screen till now.

I picked up a Revell uptown Charger. A real disapointment. A diecast in plastic. I'd like to do a conversion to a 2 door Charger ike at the link. Any ideas that can lead to kitbashing for a good chassis and engine for the project? http://www.automotivestylings.com/design.htm Vince

Congrats to you for completing a R&R Kit. You did an admirable job. Vince

AMT is currently discounting there present stock. eliminating as much stock as possible. They are up for sale and are planning to cease prroduction. It may be a while till you see AMT Kits again. Rumour has it that AMT want's $25mil. Highest rumoured offer was half that. Enjoy 'em while you can.

Tim another great truck. I'm always amazed by your scratchbuilding. Any chance you can post some scale drawings or a how to on how you made the plow and spreader Vince

Dave was from Jacksonville Arkansas He did alot of shows as a dealer in the 80's along with his sone and Grandson in tow. Dallas, Knoxville, Atlanta Indy to name a few. He was a great friend and will be surely missed. He apparently had a heart attack and went peacefully. He did a lot of trading on evil bay his user name was miteymouse. RIP my friend.

rap some soft wire like kynar wire from radio shack around a diameter tube you want. then spread it out to the desired length. wrap the wire with thin surgical tape (wallyworld) paint it the color you want.

The owner of the model came by my office and dropped off some additional pictures of the model that was stolen from the event. Some of them are in process building pictures and the quality may not be very good. I hope that you will look them over and keep it's images for reference. A note on the site shows my contact info.

I meet the gentleman that built the model he came by my office and gave me numerous photos of the build up. It's not the gentleman you spoke of.

I gotta tell ya Izzy built one for me I've been enjoying taking it to shows on the east coast. My building time is virtually null It's great to have a good looking car to the shows even if I din't build it myself. Now I got a question has anybody ever built one of these red

Thanks for looking. The model recently one a master award at a Hobbytown contest and with some vigilance we will recover it. I talked with the owner he was more than understanding. I'll just say it's because of his line of work that he was able to keep his cool. I swiped the photo from Mike cole's fotki site I'm sure Mike won't mind. I'm pretty upset abd I'm sure you would be if it was your model or you were the show coordinator. More later

This model was stolen from the Goodguys Rod and Custom show today March 19th. Any help locating it would be appreciated

I now have a few options to look into. I also want to look into the monogram litle coffin for the tires. I;ll hopefully get some time to hunt down someof your ideas this weekend. Vince

I swapped the flathead from the Revell 40 Ford. I'm looking for some parts. I want some steel wheels with little trim rings , baby moons and for tires I'm looking for some piecrust wide wall slicks and wide whites for the front. can someone point me to what kits to plfer? I normally don't buildold style street rods I'm out of my realm. Thanks Vince

I can be found at Black Gold pedaling paint. Don't ask me how to use it I haven't mastered primer yet.

The current NOVA Magazine from Primedia has a great article on the Fastback Fritz Callier car I got a bunch of other photos also drom me an email if you wnat me to send them. I'm hoping to find a set of Alan Green decals from Fred Cady to do the fastback I have in the wings.

off by an aftermarket supplier. No wait I haven't been ripped off he just hasn't rocessed my order yet. :roll: I got the slicks decals. Very cool model thanks for posting.

You didn't mention what model Gw you're after. The only kit was I'm aware of was a a GL1200 maybe it was a 1100. As mentioned in a previous post good luck finding one. There have been some inexpensive 1/12 scale GL1500's and GL1800 they are plastic prebuilts in a variety of colors. they can be found at 1:1 scale online parts dealers. They aren't to bad but you spend alot of time making an accurate model of one out of it. Scale safety chrome now there's a new venture for a aftermarket company. Vince Putt
