  1. On my TV I have to change the Ratio depending on what I am watching......it's different for DISH, streaming and DVD watching.
  2. The Mustang II only had card stock printed ramps. They will not be in this reissue per R2. The Ford and Mercury kits had plastic ramps in them.
  3. I'd have to buy a few...............
  4. First off I had a great time. Show had many elements of the old Toledo NNL shows. Saw lots of friends, will not say who cause I'll forget someone. Those that saw me and came up THANKS....always nice to met internet friends. Picked up a few great deals. R2/AMT was there with Steve Goldman, JoHan and company were set up too. I am working on a project with them....info soon I hope. Show was very well run in a nice facility. ONLY suggestion is to break the line into those with models to enter and those w/o. The line would move faster..... VERY minor thing! Some may know I did a video series on these kits....found a mint kit for a good deal...look for a build video. A 3D print by a guy who has just started. I have always liked these Super Modified. I called them Red Neck Formula One cars. Lots of cool innovation. At $55 a decent deal. 3D is just starting to change the hobby.......amazing stuff. He had a few different and some decals. Bought another Blade Runner Spinner kit as it was cheap and these are drying up....now I need to build one. Overall a great weekend, saw my brother and his wife after the show and spent some time, he had foot surgery and we just sat around and talked. Side note: First trip with the Caddy where I did this much driving. LOVE this car....real hiway cruiser. Thanks for looking!!!
  5. Heading that way in a few minutes......Say hi to the guy with the VGG Gas can shirt!!
  6. For you model rail builders I just finished this On30 scale 3D printed box car. Nice little kit. I added step, couplers, brake wheel and wheel sets. I used Intermountain 38" wheels #40048. Tamiya AS green paint. I am making RGS decals for it now. Sold by all4toys. Thanks
  7. In a AI generated video this Camaro was featured. It's a mix of 1979 and 1982 Camaro bodies that while different I can see how it may have been a real between model. I owned a real 82 Z28 so it caught my eye. Thx
  8. I think you gave her the best life possible. As always having a cat in my life since I was 3, I have had many. You did well.........
  9. I plan on being there.....say HI!!!!
  10. Very nice work!!I have a Allison story about that car. Bobby was at the SEARS auto center at South Park mall in Charlotte. Penske had just switched from the Matador to Mercury. I asked Bobby which he liked better the AMC or Merc?? 'That is a Matador' pointing to the Mercury beside him. 'We just reskined all the AMC's'
  11. I had no idea this kit was coming. I had a 1/12 resin 917 but sold it when they got $$$$$. Thanks for sharing.
  12. Nothing new in Lewisburg WV today
  13. Sorry...fixed it I hope!!!!
  14. As stated all the stock AMT Gremlin kits are the same tool. The kit is OK.....just the 70's era tooling needs a little help. I have hints on how to make it build better in my Fotki album. https://public.fotki.com/DaveVan51/2012-builds/ My build is a P/S but fit issue are for any build. Thx
  15. To be fair......... A resin parts package from Slovenia landed in NYC USPS office Monday and it was in my hands in WV TUE!?!?!?!?!? NO LOGIC here!!! Happy but wondering????
  16. While my brother was going to OSU he drove a 3rd hand Chevette. He's always answer he drove a Vette!!!! I went out whit him in his Vette one day. The passenger door seal had failed so water came in. Add spilled seed food for his birds and he had plants growing in the passenger floor carpet. Nice car!!!
  17. I had brushes with him at DNL Hobbies......not sure if there was something held over from his AMT days or what but 'Strained' is what I'd say. thx
  18. Ever any dealings with GM when John O'Neil was there??? ?
  19. Not really defended. I did state once that I got a package from CA (3000 miles) overnight and was shocked!!! If I send something to my daughter 100 miles away it can take a week......so if that is defending...YES I did. Many more posts about packages going in circles for many days or passing through the same city 3 times. Thx
  20. I got a new personal best!!!! Package left Sugarland TX, went through to wo TX PO before being sent to Wash DC. From there to Roanoke VA.....OK getting closer. Then Greensboro NC. Charlotte NC was a good stop, visit the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Vacation over back to Greensboro. Where next??? Who knows but I hope it's in WV somewhere.
  21. Trade Dress covers it I think. Best not to go up against FORD and it's hundreds of lawyers......FORD needs some cash right now!!
  22. PASS........ I have a large number of 1/20th builds in F1.....so it does not fit. Want to sell vintage F1 kits??? Why not other makes in 1/20?? like this in plastic
  23. I was talking to Atlantis on another issue and asked why the Pinto is not in the 24/25 catalog and they said 'No news right now'. May be a FORD license issue....my GUESS only.
  24. Nice clean work. I was at Rob's last race at NWB Speedway. Sad ending to a life. Thx
