Nice looking car. Who makes the kit? Later-

The only thing I bought today in all my travels. http:// $16.29 is not a bad price. Wish I had known years ago that it is two separate stands. No more taping bodies and parts to paint cans. Later-

I like where you are going with this. I almost picked up this kit and the 30 with it this morning. I managed to talk myself out of it. I may have to go back later this week. Later-

Looking good! Very interesting concept. Later-

Thanks. Looks like I remembered the front wheels incorrectly. They are not photo etch but are aluminum. Later-

I stopped in to see my buddy Mike Flynn the other night and he asked me to take some photos of one.of his 32 Ford builds. So, here it is: http:// http:// Front wheels are photo etch and the frame is all brass with lightening holes drilled on his milling machine. http:// http:// http:// I always enjoy visiting with Mike. Very talented and generous guy. What a great friend. I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress. Later-

Those both turned out GREAT! I'm with her. I think the color on the Bee looks just fine and fitting. She has some real talent showing there. Great job. BTW-NICE save on the 57. Just goes to show that a lot of times a basket of parts is not too far gone. Thanks for sharing. Later-

Welcome back! Nice looking paint job. Is that a Testors purple color? I love this kit and have a couple issues of it and the 69. Can't wait to get started on them. Keep up the great work. Later-

I've been extemely preoccupied these last few weeks but finally got a bit of time on this one again. Still have a bit of work on the rear suspension but I wanted to see what it was going to take on the front suspension to get it lower. I began with the front suspension from a NASCAR Monte Carlo kit. I removed the molded in parts on the pickup chassis. http:// These are the MC parts. http:// Here is the ride height with the parts just tacked in place for the time being. http:// I need to remove the shaded area of the inner fender panels in order to clear the upper A arms and see how the cab sits. http:// http:// http:// Not bad for an hour's work. Still needs a bit of tweeking. Or, I may leave it with a slight rake to the rear. I kinda like it like it is. Enough for tonight. Comments and criticisms welcomed. Later- -
Great job. Love the color. Does this kit come with a red tail stripe? I just saw a 1:1 black car with red stripe in a guys front yard the other day and made me want to build it. Later-

I am in Riverside but it is a Chattaroy address. I lived just about 30 miles south of Harrison on Hywy 65 in a little town called St Joe in Arkansas from 85-87. Later- -

I'm thinking about complicating this project by scratching the side trim for it. I like the look of it much better. I have brushed out a few possible colors for this truck to see which, if any, I liked best. I may go with one or a "stock" color. What do you think? I am leaning towards the green on the top or the bronze (3rd down). All are nail polish. http:// I'm back to work tomorrow so progress on this will grind to a crawl. Later- -

That's funny. I used to live in Arkansas. Where did you live North of Spokane and where are you in AR? Later- -

Well, looks like you've got your work cut out for you on the Blazer. Such a shame too. Looks like you're taking it all in stride though. Guess I won't be picking up any of those like I has hoped. Later- -

Thanks guys. I made some small progress on the rear yesterday. Still quite a ways to go. http:// This is how low the rear will sit. http:// http:// http://[/UetL] Now to get the front end down. Later-
