Try to order one from a central Michigan hobby shop- these kits seem to be gathering dust in my area. Not sure why- I bought two and it's a great little kit.

Weird stuff? Okay, but you asked...

Tom- you should have seen the '78 I used to have...

My local shop just got a fresh order of Lindberg kits in, but he's getting them through a warehouse and not direct. I wouldn't worry too much- Lindberg has gone under a few times already, and they always manage to make a comebock.

I never get tired of seeing these built- maybe because NOBODY builds them right out of the box as the intended subject! Very nice.

I've had issues with JF castings not wanting to hang onto primer before, as well, but I've found that if I wait about 48 hours and let it fully cure, it's no longer a problem. The primer will still want to flake off once it's dry to the touch, but after two days it's just fine. I've had that happen with other resins, too, but I've had it happen most frequently with the Flintstone castings.

Already managed to screw up Avanti body #1, probably to the point of not being repairable, but I should have plenty of time to manage something.

I had to Google Larry Hagman... had no idea who that was. No, not a tribute- I found an old business card for a Ridge Farm Supply on Ewing Road- I just switched the business and road names around to make a fake business. That was the whole idea- rolling business car with a big fiberglass cow on the back. It's set up with a hitch as well- I'm toying with the idea of doing some type of parade float to pull behind it.

Nice! Are those '57 Ford wheels set into bigger-diameter rims?

I don't know how well it would sell to the general big rig modeling public, but I know I'd be up for a couple. My great uncle had one, and I've always liked them myself.

Nice! This is kind of a crude kit, but you did a fantastic job showing its potential.

I opened the thread thinking "Somebody built a puller out of a Dodge Rampage????" Very nice work on this one.

I want a few of those stink packets.

Moo.

The 'Cattleac' is as close to finished as it's ever going to get- should have pics up shortly!

Well.... you know how life intervenes sometimes and throws your hobby schedule all out of whack? Yeah. That's what's happening with this one. Nothing major, though, and I'm hoping this thing will be back on track sooner and not later.

There's a Hudson six buried in there someplace. Hmmm....

Another question- why all the threads about locked threads? Drop it and move on.

This is a '59, but one of mine will end up in a state similar to this one... minus the lame-o Small Block Chevy. Good thing I took TONS of reference shots of this one.

I was wondering where you went! Are those XS Tuning wheels?

Sick of all those step-siblings?

Not a rumor- 100% true. Sad part is they dig traditonal customs more than hot rods of any sort. At least in my experience.

Just for fun, here's a quick little comparo with the truck you posted and a box-stock (as far as wheelbase, etc.) of the AMT WF Dual Drive. Might make spotting a few of the changes you'd need to make a bit easier-

I just recently started on a custom '48 woody of my own, and I thought it was going to be pretty extreme. Not compared to this one! Guess I'm headed back to the drawing board...

I'd quit my job, but other than that I doubt I'd do anything different- that's more money than I could ever possibly spend. On the other hand, my '67 Fury might stand a chance of being finished in something resembling a timely manner.
