lucky 130

I really did not mean for my comets to infer that this was strictly for the auto industry, it does fit, but just about anything. Ever get a chance to see inside of an ATM? The people that designed them never, I mean never planed for the fact the machine to have any maintenace preformed, without taking totally unnecessary parts off, and laying upside down. Thats just one example, there are many many more. Over engeering is real watch for it. It's everywhere.

Engineers, design things, they don't have to work on or repair what ever you can think of. I'm not just refering to automotive products.

exhilarating, is the way i refer to diving into the first turn at road atlanta

I believe Laski decals has re placement rivots that will give you a more in scale look. I have used the louvers in the same way. good luck.

My first was in 1959. It was a Stanley Steamer molded in red and had a whole bunch of gold coloerd chrome. Just can't remember the mfg.

Afternoon delight is making gaskets out of cereal boxes.

Got it today! I will be busy for the next few days.

Waiting with baited breath. No sign here in Knoxville, Tn. Other issues were alright, passingly interesting, and I guess just absolutely the most fun reads I've had in years. I'm beginning to jones, JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN A WHOLE LOT. Just kidding, thanks for all you guys do.

I guess it's OK news, but what it really is STRESS untill it gets here, then spending at least a week devouring everything from cover to cover. Oh well the sacrifices one must make. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into getting this magazine out.

Me too.

before you get too far along, the interior of the car is the same as the exterior, French, only the door panels( upholstery) is black. Dash, steering wheel is also black. you are thinking way too hard, these were really basic cars, with the exception of some "acid dipped " body panels. Great model will finish up to your liking.

mmmmmmm Well I'd have to give it a .....wait for it....... 9.99 cause nothing's perfeck, but dearn close. Really, great build especially being your first. I hope it will not be your last. Keep building, your skills will develop even more. Oh, thanks for sharing.

Just found thread, and as always, I'm amazed at all the great Mercs. The stock, mild customs, and most of the wild custom, if its a 49-51 mercs. I've seen "chopped" channeled frenched lowered and just about anything that can be done to a merc, but rarely have I seen a Merc, with the dip taken out of the door. That was one of the most popular things done to the sleds. Why is this

taste like chicken, or does chicken taste like taste like alligator

Prettiest Elco I've ever seen.

Mr. Shelby would approve, I'm sure. Amazing.

My Word. nuff said!

Yes.......!

I've had an idea about converting a car to a boat. No where as complicated as yours. Sir, you have captured the essence of the 50's,in body work and paint. Yawsier! Beautiful.

This is so cool. I just got the same kit for the same reason. CHEAP. Just had not even thought what I'd do with it. Thanks for causing me to think way outside the box.

Just found this......... WOW! the non flat upper and lower radiator is a fine example of attention to detail people are talking about. amazing.

Really good build. I too built the 1/12 scale version. Had lots of detail in 1/12 th, You managed to capture all I could see in 1/2. This fits on a much more acceptable size shelf and looks much better.

I was gifted a1918 Gibson L3 arch top guitar. For it's age I'd say it's about 85- 90%. Plays and sounds great. Can't stop smiling. 71 yrs. old and I got my first Gibson.
