Dave Van replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I think I know where they got the idea for the 30 box........ A good idea for a '2 kits in one box' maybe?? -

A few good places in Lexington where my son lives. A side note. I never spent much time in KY but since my son moved there I have found it a very nice place.......kinda a flat West Virginia!!!!! We are doing a car show next weekend in Somerset KY. -
Tamiya 1:12 Brabham BT44b
Dave Van replied to AL.'s topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
I went back and looked over the photos again....so much great work!!!! Also trigger the thought that at a glance you could tell one car from another. No mistaking a Brabham for a Lotus!!!!! Today I can't spot one from anohter......gone are the days of individuality. -
#208 is a good issue. CONGRATS on the hard work by all involved. ONE thing I did not think was great was some content from the MCM website. I can see why some of this was used......but as more original content becomes available I hope new issues are all new. Again thanks to the folks that provide us this magazine......I still like holding paper in my hands and spending time reading.

Being a model railroader too.....I build a number of structures. Your diner is a great build on such a large scale. As buildings get larger scale it can become more difficult! Here is a modified O scale 1/48 scale diner on my layout. Thanks

Depending on $$$ may need a few.

Current Cup models coming?
Dave Van replied to dawgvet's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
I ask a buddy that works for a team about a Ford 9"......he said they will be REAL cheap........because most are bent a few degrees for better tire tracking. OK....so how about the center members??? You'd need to change all the gears out for street.....almost the cost off one from a street supplier!! I'd buy a roller if it was a car/team I like and had a complete body. I saw one go on FB the other week for $2500.......no gears, driveline, gauges etc.....but good chassis and body. -
Thanks for the build link. Somehow I missed the original build. I am building the Matador from Adam-12 that Pete drove as his private car. Maybe some day I will get around to building my 1/1 Matador.....need to finish restore first!!!

Very well done!!!!! I am bias.....I did the decal artwork for the kit......and Ms Flock was a neighbor of mine back when I lived in NC. A great Lady. -
