camaroman

Well its finally back. The new "minilites" are a mild disappointment But i'll get over it as soon as those beautiful ralleys go on my buildup of revell's 66 el camino.

Great looking build in a great GM color. BTW what wheels ARE you using on this puppy?????

Hey welcome to the forum, Camaro boy! Ebay is the way to go on the outlaw cowl hood.

Tim, I would check out Trainworld in Brooklyn for those trucks in G scale or the Bachmann website. Best way to find both of them is google.

Thanks for the heads up, Larry.

Darin, I like the "Barely Cuda". Can't wait to see the Camaro finished too!!!

Ken, I love the Idea of the Naked Rod!!

I concur with Bill about the newest issue!! And Congrats about the timelyness!!

Nice job so far, Bill.

Looking good so far, Art!!

Lyle, Thanks for the photo link. I have already spent a good bit of time in your online albums. Now thanks to this I spent even more time there that shoulda been spent building something!!LOL

JMTCW, but KarGuy2 represents all that is good on ebay. Bought that 60 sedan and the 55-57 Suburban body as well as the newly issued Model King 65 Fairlane and 65 Chevelle stockers from him. A-1 service. Can't wait to finish some stuff to start on the 57 Sub.

There is no track around home, but in Calhoun Ga there is a hobby shop that I trade with (They are the source for my Model Car fix). They have three tracks; Two roundy-rounds and a drag strip. Sometimes a few folks will come in in the middle of the day when I am by there. Man those cars can fly. makes me wanr to open those Carrea's that I bought to collect.

Beautiful build Bob!! I love the blue. I have never seen a light blue F-car before!!!

Congrats, John. I got Mine (grail) a few days ago. The Old '61 Buick special wagon. I guess patience pays 'cause the one I finally won wasn't even painte, so no stripping was needed. I can make up my mind what color to paint it. Kinda leaning to Chrysler Alpine Green Pearl with a white top! Any suggestions will be considered though.

WOW Jim is that 3,000 unbuilt kits or the sum total of unbuilt parts??? LOL.......... and my wife thought I had it bad Seriously welcome to the party!!!

Welcome Doug!!! I learn something here almost everyday!!

All sounds great!!! and welcome to the forum, George. I have admired your work for a loong time!! I was very fond of the red Monte Carlo you did and featured in your book!!!

... for the excellent forum and everybodies great manners. This was re-enforced yesterday when I went slumming for a while with the "other guys". One long thread was an arguement about the Revell "Donks" upcoming releases. Made me really Appreciate you guys here!!!! Thanks Gregg and Jairus and all of my forum friends! VIVA Model Cars Magazine!!!

Nah! The eyes aren't that sharp. The shape of the handle is almost like a trademark with those folks. And I have spent the last 21 years of my life in hardware stores, both working in them and selling to them.

That hammer looks like a brick masons' hammer, possibly made by Estwing.The pick end was used to score and break brick in the days before the portable saws they used nowadays . BTW, Nice tip!

Great work Jairus! I am still awaiting, with baited breath, the article for the buildup of your 61 Starliner.LOL

Mike, that's a great idea for a second round of "insiders". I too would like to see this continue at least on a semi- regular basis.

Very nice job! Looks realistic, can't wait to see the finished product!

Nice job! My wife walked by and commented" that's a pretty model",while I was checking out the pics. That's high praise coming from her.
