Hi you all, well, I'm doing 4 projects at one time here now since it's summer time. This one and the General Lee Stunt Car I'm working on side by side. The brass frame rail that is seen in the photos was badly damage by the Mrs's foot by mistake last week when the power went out due to a very bad storm we had. So I'm working at making a few master parts to make stamps of a few of the hard to make parts. I took a lot of photos of my real charger and are using them as ref stuff to make the new stuff more correct. I'm working at making a new from clip and also making new rear end frame rails and cross pieces and a gas tank as well LOL. I'll be posting photos soon as I can.

Gregg, you know man.. you cut the down time very very close with me LOL. To be honest, that other site with this one being down for over 10 days got to me and called me in to where I registered over there and left a post at! Next day something told me to check this site back out to find out the forum just came back up that morning. That was a very close call for me. I'm still going through my settings on here yet. This new forum platform you guys are on now is alot better. You won't hear me complaining to much. I don't need notices as I get on here on a daily basic to check things out. Keep up the great work there my friend.

LOL That's what I'm doing now.

Any updates on this? I sure do miss them.

Thanks, and also the same to all the other dads and grand dads out there too "Happy Father's Day".

You know, you nailed it all on the head. I also understand your whole out come also. Thank you I'm just glad my in-law got want he needed.

LOL I like that. I have to remember that line. Your right, so is the others. Thank you all for being here and listen to my rant and helping me out.

Are you using the Super Glue Gel type?

You guys are right, what matters more is my father-in-law needed a ramp. He got a ramp he needed. I guess I was just steamed was all due to how everyone treats my mother-in-law and it ticks me off. It just seems to me well how can I put this so you all can understand from my point of view. My mother-in-law has 3 daughters (3 son-in-laws too). One that lives two county's over (the oldest daughter) and can always go about 80 miles south to visit her dad yet her mom lives like 50 miles away and yet she won't go visit her hardly but can her dad though. Then there's the 2nd daughter which is my wife and we live 8 miles away, and then theirs the youngest daughter that lives probably about 80 miles away down in the next county as well and she treats her mom like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH and doesn't care to much. The only one that really cares is my wife and me. My mother-in-law might have neighbors which is also family, but all they want to do is charge her all the time for everything and I do mean everything! But yet they help everyone else out for nothing. My mother-in-law asked them also and they wanted $$$ double for the lumber even though they had it and on top wanted to charge her as well for building the ramp too when they live like 50 feet away. But yet when someone is there helping my mother-in-law out they come over to see what is going on and talk and talk. My mother-in-law always ask family for help and they always have something to do or wants to charge her double.. I always told her if she can't find anyone willing to help her out or if she needs help don't be afraid to ask me. It seems to me everyone in the family don't want to do anything for her until I wait and speak up and then they want to do it when the hear I spoke up or my wife did, we always give everyone in the family a chance as we always ask if anyone else is doing it or not and if not then we speak up. I know it also makes my mother-in-law upset they do this to her as well. But like you all said, the main thing is my father-in-law got his ramp he needed and I'm very glad he did so now when he gets out he can come home, I don't care if he's in a wheel chair and is handy-cap, I still love him as my father-in-law.

Okay let me shed some light on whats going on. My father-in-law became handy-cap about two months ago. My mother-in-law and my wife and I been talking for the last few weeks about things. I was asked to help my mother-in-law out by building a ramp going into her house. Well after she asked the family members for help they all was too busy. They couldn't do it they said. She waited a month before asking me and yet they all said they didn't have time to do it. Then after that she asked me and I said Okay to it and we talked. Now after all this time no one wanted to do it BUT all a sudden last Wednesday she tells her oldest daughter (that her husband didn't have time at all before or was too busy to even come up to visit) about me going to build the ramp this weekend. Low and behold out of the blues her husband all a sudden says he'll come up and build the ramp after me and her mother (her mom is also my mother-in-law (her mom has 3 daughters), 2nd daughter being my wife) had talked and her mom wanted me to build it, no one else had wanted to do it for the last month and a half and her mother waited and waited then I offered then all a sudden she heard from her mom knowing her mom had someone picked and ready to do it. Yet her and her husband out of the blues knowing her mom had someone going to do the job, the two comes up and does the job. I'm am totally tick at the two.

Sorry, it's just right now I'm very upset, It's toes as in someone talking and talking to a person for afew weeks about doing something and getting ready and then out of the blue another party comes and steps in an does it.

How do you all fill on this stuff?

I use aluminum vent tape.

BTW I for got to say I think your off to a very great start.

I love these old cars, I'm have a '69 myself. I'll be watching this build.

This is the only model site I visit anymore for model car building and sharing, I'm on here each day browsing, Gregg has done one heck of a very very fine job. Few other sites I'm on or visit should have people like Gregg & Harry.

X3

I also went back and looked, I have to agree with you about the real car and the model. The engine tilt looks to be the same tilt on both the model and the real car.

Same here! I'm waiting to see the body in a killer paint job. Keep up the great work, John.

That green monco with a white roof looks like a friend of mine car, he has afew monaco's, if you need photos let me know by Personal Message on here and I'll see if I hook you up with him on photos. BTW great job so far on your build, I really like it.

Nice! I'll be following this one as well.

Love it.

Thanks man. Truth be told here. My friend and I was originally planing to go with the original kit plastic frame just so you all know. But I'm not shure if it was the kit he bought OR a defected one he got.. so I will not hold the others to what happen to this one. I been working with the original since 2010 and with it always braken apart on me here and there in areas and me trying to repair the areas. Well last summer 2012 me and my friend and my wife all set down and decided to do a mock up with the aftermarket stuff he got for on it to see if the plastic frame would in fact hold it or not. The frame buckled in the middle to where it almost snapped right in half in front of us if I hadn't stuck my a sheam in under the one gas tanks area in the middle of the chassis. So he told me I knew what to do on the frame issue to make it better and cab and hood and told me just to go for it. He told me after seeing that.. he wanted a frame that could with hold the stuff and yet not buckle and one he could pick up from time to time and not have to worry about it braking in half on him. This is not a box stock build at all LOL.. some of the original kit will be use on the project though. The real truck 1:1 is down right beautiful.. but my friend is making some slight changes on this project so it will not be 100% like the real one that he likes.

These are the last two for the night, I hope you enjoyed this update. I do apologize if there are to many.
