  1. I think a scale version of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile would be a good seller
  2. After reading and watching videos about this Pontiac I wondered if the authentic Bonnie and Clyde death car could have been repaired mechanically enough to drive the way they 'repaired' this GTO then i read this version of the story about other fake death cars people tried to replicate https://www.hotcars.com/where-is-bonnie-and-clydes-car/ even if it did run and drive there is no way i would sit in it let alone drive it
  3. I think that is Jim Dirt...Joe's brother/cousin
  4. Thats what you get for knocking down peoples mail boxs ! The red neck hill billies around here would have packed that car full of tannerite
  5. This is the type of music my Mom played on her organ when i was growing up, I listen to it when i get to missing her
  6. Nothing beats a good polka !
  7. I would like to see some thing like this as a model kit .
  8. Great craftsmanship , Rich ! Now i know why you were looking for the window tint , but im still wondering what the dry rub numbers are for . Correct license plate ?
  9. Kit ,Thank you for a very nice , thought out reply ! I dont have a problem with people posting pictures of their projects in my threads, this is an information exchange type of thing for me. I really like what you have going on with your boat ! some times real life comes first and the hobby stuff gets put on hold .
  10. How about a Zombie Thread blast from the past ? I had to dig back 38 pages to find this one ! this project waited patiently on the shelf for years. ...call me Fishmael
  11. Once the initial shock of his death wears off , Im sure he will think thats funny too....
  12. Without a 1:1 to measure against , and assuming the 1:1 is listed as a 16ft the GreenLight is 3.215 wide 1/24 it would be 6.430 feet wide @ 1/25 it would be 6.679 ft wide over all length from the rear of the cabin to the ball hitch is 8.130 inchs the cabin front to rear measures at 6.5 inchs 1/24 makes it 15.6 ft long in 1:1 1/25 makes it 16.25 ft.long in 1:1
  13. I didnt take that into account , here is a picture of the GreenLight trailer with a known 1/25 scale AMT '60 Chevy pick up I was on the hunt for a GreenLight Shasta Airflyte but couldnt find one in green but I got lucky and got a resin from ModelHaus before they closed shop , I plan to paint it like my Shasta
  14. Here is a picture of my Greenlight Winnebago that just happens to be parked next to a Johan '65 Rambler , I think they are close enough to be mated to most 1/25 cars and trucks
  15. Looks great , Dan Your hard work paid off
  16. two of the go carts from the AMT 1960 Chevy pick up reissue
  17. Of all of his excellent performances , I like 'Lilies of the Field" the best.
  18. we have bears and bobcats too, my neighbor raises chickens and turkeys so my biggest pest is coyotes cutting across my property on their way to their house
  19. This is an interesting topic, great job on your grill repair Andy ! another 'hobby' i have is old Schwinn bicycles, I have been looking for a tear drop reflector for a bike thats been built from my stash. I've seen new/old stock reflectors sell for $150.00 and after market repops sell for $50.00. I went to a garage sale and bought this girls bike for $5.00- this is my bike before and after, took the reflector apart cleaned/polished the lens with Novus painted the housing with Dupli Color chrome the girls bike also had the right era reflector on the rear wheel hub shiner so i replaced the luggage rack reflector too
  20. The last I heard , Joe Z is an alternate in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics
