  1. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to see more of the build. Later-
  2. Nice looking car. Who makes the kit? Later-
  3. 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-
  4. 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-
  5. Looking good! Very interesting concept. Later-
  6. Thanks. Looks like I remembered the front wheels incorrectly. They are not photo etch but are aluminum. Later-
  7. 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-

  9. http:// Got this brand new sealed kit in a trade from a Facebook site. Not sealed anymore. Love the detail and engine in this kit. Later-
  10. 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-
  11. 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-
  12. Thanks. I'm hoping to get back on this soon. Later-
  13. 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-
  14. 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-
  15. 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-
  16. Interesting idea. I like the look so far. I love the customs. I'll be watching. Later-
  17. 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-
  18. That's funny. I used to live in Arkansas. Where did you live North of Spokane and where are you in AR? Later-
  19. 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-
  20. Oooh nice! Can't wait to get ahold of mine. Later-
  21. 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-
  22. Beautiful work on it. You'll do great at the show. I went through all of your photos of C N things and I love it. Lots of good ideas I'll be using for mine. Later-
  23. I just saw your Avitar. I have a build of that in the works. Can't wait to get back on it. Later-
  24. That is a very beautiful build. Your work on it is top notch. Love the look of the entire thing. I wish that they would come out with a new tool 32 pickup kit. Wouldn't that be great? Later-
