That looks good, nice job on the weathering, BUT your truck depicts a 1941-1946, the 1937 Chevy pick up looks very different-like a '37 Chevy car.

That came out Fantastic !! as always-Great Job !

Hey, I'm glad you brought this subject up, I was thinking about going to the re-sale shop and looking at old umbrellas to cut up for the convertible tops...but I forgot about that till I just read this-Thanks for the reminder.

I would like to see a section for motorcycles-1) for Works in Progress and 1) for finished builds, I'm building this 1/6 scale Harley Davidson Road King for my friend who is a D.A.R.E Officer-like the one he rides on duty- We are still waiting for the company that made the graphics for the 1:1 bike to make the same ones for us in scale, the officer said he would like to have his D.A.R.E. students be able to log on Model Cars Mag. site to follow along with the progress also. Just goes to show ya----You never know who might be looking at these sites,

You've done a great job with your radio show Slant-I listen to it when I have an hour to sit still and surf the web. I'm also a big fan of the radio show you interned on http://www.openroadradio.com/ I really hope you have a great future in what ever you do ! Then I can say I knew you before you were famous.

Very cool ! Always look forward to your builds !

I get this from my LHS, in the train department. then there's this place for some really detailed ground covering http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=1191 Hope this helps,

I used 2 sets of the T-802s for the trailer,but now I have 4 front wheels left over.....

Here's a shot of the Modelhaus T-800s '50s style 17.5s The wheels are resin and the tires are rubber/vinyl-VERY NICE STUFF !! Like every thing else from Modelhaus.

Hey Smart Resins-Here's the link to the Schwinn forum site. http://www.schwinnbike.com/usa/eng/forums/index.php This is a great place to get parts for old Schwinns. On April 25,2010 there is the Michigan - Ann Arbor Classic Bicycle Show and Swap Meet. They say it's the best antique and classic bicycle show in the nation.

I think a "Key Moment in Auto History" would have been in 1896,When after 2 yrs. of building his Quadricycle-Henry Ford figured out his new car was too wide to fit through the door !

1929 Cord L-29, although it was a straight 8cyl. the Cord 812s were v-8s frontwheel drive Here's a picture of E.L.Cords office There were many automobile makers in Indiana in the early 1900's

I was going to pick George53...But it was already taken !!!!!

ONE-TWO-THREE---CHA-CHA-CHA....Was'nt this post about the Evilone ?? How come it's always about George53 ?? The thread that was started 3 subjects ago did'nt have any thing to do with him posting or not posting pictures any way !!! It was about being two faced...saying one thing here and another there and he got BUSTED ! Then we wonder why MOST folks don't want a "Religion or Politics" section here, When you act like a clown ALL the time-you can't get offended when people treat you like a clown,don't make it a point every day of how smart you are and the rest of us are dummies when we seem to be able to do things you can't...OH like post pictures. I sure would'nt buy a model car magazine that didn't have any pictures in it either ! There are alot of talented people here that put alot of work in their builds, some may even make their living or part of it from the modeling business. Pay them the respect they EARNED as modelers here and every other "forum" ! If it's OK to make funny sayings and witt-a-sisms and Never put some thing on the table-don't sit and complain about how "YOUR" board is going down hill because of every one else-little known fact---I joined this board along time ago when all I could get was dial up-----NEW DSL...NEW E-mail....TA DA now I'm Zipper ! ( I had a lower membership number than 3/4 of the current members) some thing to think about.......and I build/show my models As for Evil One, If you do chiseling deeds --your a chiseler ! Give it time and try to become some other usefull tool instead.No one likes to get ripped off so don't blame them for being mad ! MOST IMPORTANT (to me any way ) NO--I'm not Lugnuts so please stop the PM's and e-mails asking me that !!! Cecil Schmaltzried

I don't mind following the rules-just get sick of the self appointed watch dogs, Gregg does sell a paper magazine....around $6.00 U.S PS: The poop is a model, made with saw dust and plaster...pretty life like huh ? CECIL

The Rat Fink Lives ! Anything by Ed Roth is COOL, You did a great job on this. Cecil

That's a great idea Chuck, You got the look just right !-2 Questions : Is the battery behind the passenger seat ? Do you have any pictures with the hood on it ? The Cadillac engine is a great detail too , Cecil

Hey Ripley-Here's one of my favorite books for ideas, it was done by a husband and wife team as seen on the cover This could be done very easy with the Revell '37 Ford pick/up kit Or the Galaxie 46-48 Chevy kit There are alot of good detail pictures My favorite is this picture of a mother birds nest in the heater box of an old Mercury This is just a small sample of what's in this book, Cecil

I like IT ! Good color combo-inside and out, the slant-6 looks right at home in there. Thanks for sharing it. Cecil

Mr. T is cool !! Maybe you could used some flocking for his hair and beard ?? Cecil

I treat this forum (and others) like a gas station, Some times I get $5.00 worth just to get me down the road and other times I fill the tank. I only go to the gas station when I want or need some thing. When I drive up to the gas station and see a bunch of clowns loitering around I tend to go some where else. If we need friends to talk about other stuff than Model Cars maybe we could go to a restaurant and buy a stranger a cup of coffee and tell them our views on life....or even better-get them to buy us a cup of coffee and listen to our views. Cecil

That's cool ! I like what you've done. Maybe GM should have made one like that.......could'nt have hurt. Cecil

Your slot cars look cool !How fast do they go ? Could you show some pictures of them on the track racing for us ? Thanks, Cecil

Got the brochure for this gem in the mail today "True To It's Roots" If you'd like to see more of this cream puff check this out--- www.8n.com Zipper

GREAT JOB on your skidder Chuck !! I've driven(worked) more of them than I care to remember-Yours is spot on, Well done. Cecil>Zipper
