If I recall correct, revel offered a taxi option on one of the releases of the early/mid 90's caprice kits. First off, am I correct here? Second, does said kit have a decent meter to be placed inside the car? Need one to cast.

Yeah, Those EXP's use to be a dime a dozen. Getting a little hard to find now though.

Great ide. Why not put the Yamaha motor in an EXP or, Escort? Just an idea.

It will be worth the wait.

Sorry for your loss Craig. Nice that you were able to reflect back on some good/humorous times. BTW, I must agree with your father. Pintos are fine cars. Cheap and dependable. With a turbo slapped on the 4 cylinder or, a v8 swap they make great fodder for a hot rod. May you father rest in peace.

Understandable.

You could make life easier and order a prewired distributor from here www.madmodeling.com Just sayin.

You will find a set here www.madmodeling.com

That is too cool. I want one.

Wish there were words to ease your pain. Sounds as if this is a situation where they are sick. Try to take peace in the fact that the suffering will be over and reflect back on the good times. I do hope this is of dome help.

Lets just hope this creep gets a nice long sentence.

Was trying to leave the details out Tony. No harm done though. Adding to this is the fact that Doug was both mentally and physically challenged. I tell ya, it is a sad world we live in sometimes.

Sad to announce the passing of model car builder Doug Moorehead. Doug was a long time builder and a fellow club (DMCC) member. Doug was a proud member of the Downriver Model Car Club and rarely missed a meeting. Doug died at his home Sunday at age 67. The meetings will not be the same without you, you will be missed. I am glad that I had the chance to know Doug. RIP Doug.

That Is sooooo darn cool.

That's cool. Our dog Charlie will extend his paw out as we come up the basement stairs. As if to help us climb up. Dogs rule.

If you ask nice, your dad may cast a few for you.

Wow, lots to like here. Thank you guys for taking the time needed to do it right.

Riley, When you deal with a high quality resin caster there really is not much difference. Missing Links stuff comes with the flash cleaned up and pinhole free.

Check with Kevin at Missing Link resin Casters. He does a hardtop body for the Revell 72.

Hello from Westland Michigan. Tony is coorect, you should stop by and check out the Downriver Model car Club. Good group of people.

I do not tear down any of my builds. This is not to say some of the older stuff could not benefit from it. I like to look back at the older builds. Some hold memories, others make me laugh a bit. I do however buy and restore vintage build ups from time to time.

Thanks for showing "the rest of the story" Harry. That just cleared things up quite a bit. After reading this I feel they are just in how they handled the situation.

Charlie, You bring up the fact that perhaps he needed the boost to get home safely. That may be the case. However, If was driving a gas powered car, could he take a gallon from a school bus to get home? Taking gas from a school bus sounds much worse than what he did but, is it really? Not picking on ya. Just bringing up a point. I still am not sure where I stand on this one myself. I see the fact that it may have only been a few pennies but, pennies here pennies there,,,they all add up. Was he wrong? Sure he was. Is jail time a bit much though? I kinda think so.

If you are looking for stripes for the AMT kit keep in mind it is 1/25 scale. The Revell/Monogram kit is 1/24. May or, may not matter in this case but, something to keep in mind though.

Interesting case, Yes the dude did steal the electricity. Did he mean to or, was he just careless? Who knows. While electricity theft is a big deal, jail time may be a bit much. Perhaps a warning or, even a fine would have been enough. Seems they wanna make an example of him.
