plasticbutcher

Hey James, This is a 97, one owner(now two) we had a 92 lumina and it was a good one, our son was given a 91 as a first car/ project car we be working on this summer

After six months of no transportation we just got this Not a model or supplies but it will get us to the hobby shop

WARNING!!!!!!!! This could scare Ray Charles This is how the olde plasticbutcher looks when styrene addiction kicks in and the ideas are flowing I know I have a face made for radio

I do the same thing---get to playing with the grand kids, or the dogs, or playing on the computer, and then afterwards think--I should have fabbed this or painted that. As for being a Mental case??? Hey we all suffer from styrene illness at some level, mine is so sever I will wake up in the middle of the night and work on my current build--or research for the next,

These are all great stories, so here is mine,-----My screen name was given to me many years ago by a very good friend who ran the the Pegasus hobby show in "cali" ( Rikk Hicks), He also ran the first model club I was in, he gave me the name because of what I do to plastic, case in point, this WAS an original, complete "California Hauler" Pete, as for an avatar---haven't found one the suites me yet

How about a four speed floor shift like an after market "hurst" type shifter, I would buy a few of those, or a photo etch grill for 1/16 55 56 57 chevys

Me too ----- Even my dogs won't talk to me till I have my coffee

I have used the "old" wolfs formula for painting "shiny" for many years, and now that I have an air brush again----the paint will be flyin, Lone wolf, thank you sir for the insiperation and instruction you have givin over the years And Doc, thank you for posting all this eye candy, it has insipered me to get busy on my 1/16 scale 55 chevy, shiny Rules and rust rocks

Beautiful builds Sir, and Welcome to the forum, could you please explain how you "foiled" the great dane, thank you for the eye candy, look forward to seeing more

Lookin good Ken, keep it going

Hey guys, The "truck movie" is Duel and stars Dennis Weaver,

Well could be worse, could be a Batmobile thread, HAHAHA

That would be kool,---- with those kinds of dollar amounts you could call it "empty pocket trucking"

I am using the same engine as a statring point for a blown, twin carbed street motor for my 1/16th 55 chevy, I am looking forward to your new 1/16th scale, I am very interested in seeing your 1/16th carberators, I will be watching this build for ideas

Hey Ken good to see you here, hope you can make it up here for the four state modelers show this year and hope you bring the Dud as would love to see it in person

James, I have been working on the same idea but using an AMT 1/16 scale 55 chevy coupe and a Don Garlits fuel hemi, great minds think a like

Gregg, First off let me say, Thank you for all the hard work and passion you put in to this site and the magazine, second you are the Boss Man here and you make the rules, We all have yo live by rules of some type or another. P.s. Harry----Thank you for all you do here as well sir.

Darin, You and your family will be in my-and my families prayers, we lost my Mom(12-25-1995) and my Father in law (12-24-2010) to Cancer, we are here for you, God Bless Rick, venus Bowerman

WOW, Ok now that I have picked my jaw up----- that is pure art Sir. thank you for posting

Merry Christmas to you and your family George, Pete. That sounds like quite a meal, I hope every one has a happy and safe holiday,

That is very cool, great idea

I agree, I would need about six so I could build replicas of mine and my Dads old trucks

Hey Harry we are not ALL that crazy-- HAHAHAHA

I lived in Utah, in that area----this is not a surprise those people drive like NUTS, Glad we moved back here to Mo.

Welcome aboard, your Lone star looks great, hope to see more of your builds
