We had some pretty wild weather last night here....Kirksville,MO. a little drive from here had a huge funnel cloud but never heard if it got all the way down yet.

The hand gun laws here are very complicated but wish I had one just in case. They not only tore up many they took about 70% of my and my dads old stuff--60s,70s promos,kits,build ups they just tossed around and stepped on...I can get over mine but my dads oldies really hurt...now I have to see if I can find parts to repair/restore the ones still decent enough to try... That is not going to be easy going to need all the help I can get with them.

We all love to see what everyone else had done or doing with theirs here....I have been building for over 40years and still learn something new everyday.

Welcome Cory....I am a huge fan of the 60s to mid 70s cars,etc. too but mostly a factory stock kind of guy. I am lucky enough to still have some of my dads oldies...trying to restore/repair them but finding those old parts is not easy but will be worth it once found...the old family ones are priceless cant wait to see them.

With my somewhat of a budget I figure its the best way to control debt or getting into it...LOL...

Very nice kit Dan and story.... I have a build up to restore finding those body side stripes is not going to be fun planing on a factory stock version here too with mine.

I sort of have another modeling catastrophe from a couple of days before last Christmas here. I had a doctor appointment upon returning home from the visit to find the front door open to my house and a huge disaster in the model room from burglars...was not good.

I do Harry for everything I can.

Its called GREED.

Here gas goes up in price for any reason that can be thought of....while at the same time every place around my town is cheaper...hum?

Very COOL!....Looks better than mine...LOL...

LOL...

And some wonder why I like the scale figures from kits....cool!

STUNNING build...! Id love to find the snap kit or a promo of this.

I once was converting a 2door HT into a 4door wagon and after weeks worth of very careful bodywork,etc. when I reached for the spray paint to give it the first light coat on a next to no breeze or wind day and a wind gust picked it up and tossed it about 10 feet on to the concrete driveway...bummer.

Mines molded in white plastic....not too many large scale kits I like but I am a Pontiac fan shame no one ever made those in factory stock 1/25th scale. I did have the 1/8th scale 81? Pontiac Trans Am kit but it left with many others after a break in here last Christmas...bummer.

VERY NICE!... I have one of those kits...cool.

That is just LOW...

Very nice 71 Mustang build!

I love the 69 to 75 Impalas..owned quite a few of them myself they were great road cars....nice work I even like it in the first color combo.

Amen Jim.... we should never forget our brothers and sisters that have given the ultimate sacrifice for us all...they are our heroes and heroins.

I need one of those too so I can make a replica of our truck but need the resin Chevy grille too ours is a 84 Chevy 4x4 long bed.

Just make sure your soap you use has no lotions in it...it might cause a paint problem when painting called(fish eyes). Best advise anyone has ever gave me on building is to treat every part as if it were a model itself and take your time building is not a race to get done but a challenge to build the best one can at a given point of experience. I have been building for over 44 years and still learn something new all the time...only dumb questions are the ones not asked.

COOL... They did make those valve covers in kit form...think it was from older vintage kits though?

I use to own a 73 Chevy van with a 350ci,auto it had 479,000+ miles on it when I sold it still ran great never needed much but the body was shot.
