    Thanks for clearing the date up, there was some writing on the back -so I've corrected that also. Me in the back of my Dads '56 Chevy pick up around 2 1/2 yrs.old, And Grampas pre-historic brush hog around 3-4 yrs. old. The last picture is from Christmas with my first Hot Wheels track must have been around 6 yrs. old at the time.

    The first picture was taken in California during the summer of 1967-so I was about 4 years old with my Mom, sister and me standing by my Gramas 1963 Buick Wildcat The second picture was in my Uncles 1966 VW camper-the time stamp says 1970 but it had have been taken earlier than that, back then we had rolls of film in the kitchen drawer that never got developed until a year or two later........Great Topic !!

    Some thing else to keep in mind is the car in the movie was right hand drive.

    I don't know which kit this bike came from-got it in a trade. It's just like the 1971 Yamaha 175 enduro I had when I was a kid.

    http://www.machinefinder.com/ww/en-US/machine/2008-new-holland-t2320-tractor-2050927 This one in the ad is exactly like mine, that one has 300 hours on it and mine just turned 200 hours, I also have a set of pallet forks -you can change it from the bucket to the forks in about 5 minutes. I've changed the oil every 50 hours-used it but never abused it.

    This is a late '40s or early '50s Chevy that belongs to a local farm near my home-right now they are using it as a bumper stop to fill those plastic tubes full of silage-the truck keeps the silage from blowing out the end of the tubes-this truck is very clean , runs great and is still earning it's keep. Some times there is a sign in the window when it's parked near the road="Not For Sale"

    Another part of my "motorhome plan"- I just sold my 1963 Plymouth Valiant convertible that had been parked since 1985 and had 72,000 miles.

    This is my 2003 F 250, 5.4 L w/6speed stick 43,000 pampered miles. Bought it new in May of '03 paid it off in May of '08 and as soon as it was paid off I bought this 2008 New Holland tractor in May of 2008-Just made my last payment and this will be the first time in 9 years I don't have a payment........now I want to sell them both and buy a motorhome

    That's a very cool subject-I always enjoy your USFS builds. Your decals look great too !-Chris

    I've only done it once but it worked out pretty good for me. I got ahold of a Revell 2006 Chevy Impala police car-snap kit. When it was still bare white plastic I colored all the trim with a chisel tip black Sharpie then masked it off with BMF-primed , base coat and clear coat the body, then re-cut all the seams where the BMF was so not to pull the paint off-the black trim was nice and clean.

    I would do that and any thing else to fight this terrible disease for your wife or mine........ FYI= Men get it too. October is Breast Cancer Awarenss Month although I think it should be a year round thing myself !! Maybe we could start a thread for pink builds to be mindful of this issue ?

    I know you said you were looking for V8 conversions, just to be different I used a Ken Kitchen Buick Straight 8 in this Revell 2 dr.sedan, used an AMT '51 Chevy for the frame and fire wall/inner fender wells , used an old pill bottle to make the fire wall deeper and had to move the core support a little to get the long engine to fit.

    VERY NICE ! The detail is great, I enjoyed the W.I.P you did on this-Well Done !-Chris
