    Nice clean work!!!!! LOVE IT! My only real Modelhaus regret.......never got one. Dad would tell a story how in high school the basketball team would have to get themselves to away games. One of the team members Dad was the local Nash Hudson dealer. He had a loaner 'bath tub' he'd allow them to take to away games. They could fit the whole team in the old Nash!!

    YEP! To many projects is a sign of a genius........I really hope so anyway.....

    Make sure the flapper door is in good shape as it's a pain when it stops working!!!

    Scratchbuilt other than wheels, tires and seat.......Engine is a 1/12 Chevy 350 I modified and resin cast. Like I said....I invested enough to buy a decent used real car!!!

    I have a 1/12 scale Roush IMSA Cougar that has been in the works since 1990. I spent 100's on AeroQuip fittings alone. Sorry to hijack.....I'll wait to see your finished Buck OLDS!

    You are FAST.....not stupid....I hold that crown for number of projects at one time!!! I'll be watching!

    Ah.....free ebay listings....... In the old days when you had to pay to list things, a percentage of listing price, you never gad that. The winner of the Dodge was new to ebay....bet it gets relisted because of no pay.

    In case you want to build 'her' car from Daytona......... I have those decals too.......
  10. Dave Van
    I've seen decals done that way....OK I guess...... I don't build a bunch of WWII models but do enjoy now and then. Mainly after I married my wife. Her Dad was in Europe from the start of US involvement and was there until 1961. He freed a few of the concentration camps and told me in detail stories of his stay in Europe. Clouding the past, WWII the most, is a insult to all who served abroad and at home. Sorry....off the box.....thanks

    Good to know if true.........how long will it be that all Swastika and rising sun decals are deleted from WWII aircraft kits??? After all it didn't really happen.....(I know EURO is already doing this)

    Just missed a visit from the PC police!!!!!

    Many sheets had a under coat white that bleed very badly. Still other had a defective clear carrier.

    I produce a few sets of decals if you want to pass on the kit decals....... FYI - most of the Flogers decals were defective so before painting the car....check the decals. I was working with RM at the time.....it was a big mess. One set......
  15. Dave Van
    Lots to cover there.......My basics..... AMT kit. PPP tires and wheels. Roll cage cobbled together from kit parts and Plastruct plastic rods. Tamiya paint. Penngwen Hobbies decals. Modes are pretty simple depending on how deep you want to go. This shelf model has the gutted interior. Otherwise it's pretty stock....much like the real cars. Cup cars of that era ranged greatly....unlike today. Some were frame off race cars.....lower teams modified showroom cars. Reference? Check Randy Ayers website and Google pics of the car you are doing....thx

    The old tool 1/24 56 Chevy seems a odd pick.....must be the 'Mom and Grandma Birthday model pick 2019' entry.....
  17. Dave Van
    Thanks Rob!
  18. Dave Van
    Pretty sure its this kit.........
  19. Dave Van
    Wow....lots of work....I have the ICM version so I'll be watching.

    I call them 'tall wagons'.....it's like the 1960's all over.....every drive had a wagon!!!
  21. Dave Van
    Very Mad.....love it!
  22. Dave Van
    dup sorry
  23. Dave Van
    I turned off all google trackers (what good it will do??) and installed Waze which from what I understand is less invasive. Do what you can.
  24. Dave Van
    Ford backed off a tiny bit.....along with Mustang Focus will stay along with a police only sedan of some version. I fully understand as my kids all own at least one SUV type vehicle........seems the best solution when they have kids.
  25. Dave Van
    Then why worry what they make!!! You can only build what sells. Speaking of 'Found on road dead' Google GM ignition switch failure.....lots of death there.....
