  1. Got me this time Harry!!!
  2. Nice work Lyle!
  3. Looking good!!! and a big welcome to the group!!
  4. Check out this baby that I purchased already painted on Saturday!!! I added the Pegusas wheels when I got home. The paint is base coat/ clear coat done by the previous owner. If you look carefully the left rear fin is missing a piece at the top and the vent post in missing on the right side. But I don't think I can bear to strip that beautiful paint to repair those minor details!!!!!
  5. I for one am glad this post got dug up!!! Missed the Poncho the first time around. Beautiful!!!!!
  6. Got me this time!!! should have looked closer before voting!!! Thanks for the weekly fun!!!
  7. Very nice!!!!
  8. I think it's time to put this one out of our misery!!! But we have given Jaffa something to read all day long!!!
  9. I fully agree about the "profile" article ideas that are being tossed about!!! please include Guys like Tim Boyd. I really enjoy when he pulls out older builds to go along with some article he is writing!!!
  10. Can't remember how old, but it was AMT's '37 coupe. It was built with an older cousin who was an amazing builder. He helped my younger brother and i build a pair of those babies. My brother's was yellow and mine was a shade of dark blue. The great irony is I still have my brother's car (he never really got into building) but I have NO idea what happened to mine.
  11. Yeah! what Mark said in the previous post!!!
  12. Lyle, I too have a hard time associating "sick" with Good! Sick has always brought to mind retching and discomfort!!!
  13. Still Bob, It is amazing that it took the Union four years to subdue the Confederacy, even though the "numbers"(Manpower, Manufactoring, and an already standing Army) were on their side.
  14. I am going to "Hazzard" a reply to this post. I grew up in the south and still make my home here. As a youth I took much pride in the fact that my state still flew the Rebel battle flag even though over 100 years had past since the wars end. I now understand that the stars and bars on the Georgia state flag was less about honoring the long dead confedaracy as its was more about an attempt to silence a long overdue rightingof wrongs and an end to prejudice. In other words a symbol of the past had been co-opted by the Klu Klux Klan and likeminded individuals, in much the same way the Nazis co-opted that ancient Indian symbol for their evil ways I will still build the General Lee with the Stars and Bars, but now for the sake of accuracy. not ignorance. BTW I am more Proud of the current Georgia flag that Honors a Flag that pre dated the Battle Flag.
  15. Another thing to watch out for in the "rides" version is that goofy offset rear end to lower the back. Sort of looks like a bell dropped front axle for a street rod.
  16. One word! BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing.
  17. IMHO! Larkspar and Harbor blue two tone, But I have owned one that color since I was Twelve.
  18. If it's a new release I open it before I pay for it!!! Always at the counter though;don't want to tick off the hobby dude... Many times I will buy at least one more copy before I leave the store!!
  19. I have one of the glass applicators (?). It is really easy to use. well worth the money spent!!
  20. looking good!!! Great job One of my favorite rides as a youth was a Kammback wagon that belonged to my boss. I worked at a Chevrolet dealership in Clayton Ga. back in the late 70's as a teenager. The Vega was one of our parts chasers/loaners/employee drivers. That baby was a great ride until one of the guys shifted 3rd to 1st coming down a 10% grade. When the B50 13's in the rear caught the clutch became space dust. That Lil 'Vega was never the same after that.
  21. Thanks for the pics. Great inspriration
