Fun getting old..sometimes .

Hi George... LOL... happens to me all the time so I write myself notes . What was the part? You were looking for something for me I think maybe?

Ill bet it will look better when you have some window outlines in it...if it gets to you put it aside and take a break from it. Works for me all the time and I usually start with build-ups or junk....no real hobby shops around here.

The AMT 77 Ford pickup kit came with a factory style topper for the bed.

Nice to see someone is from pretty close by Chris....starting to think I might have been the only one in west central IL.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is way too COOL! Great job on it!

That is COOL!!!! nice work!

That is pretty cool Chuck...I like it.

Thanks for the information guys! I would hate to mess anything up so its all good to know.

Yeah me too...LOL.. I just woke up when posting Sorry Bryan. I cut my windows out using the back of a hobby knife blade very carefully . I used masking tape built up with several layers as a guide for the blade not taking too much out at once just keep scarping away at it. Bryan must have had a better idea to remove the window areas than I did...took forever. Hey Bryan....any ideas of what color it will be when your done with it? Looks very nice...keep up the great work on it!

Looking great there! Ill be waiting to see his project too,will get back on mine once I get my room repairs done. When I started mine I was going off of memory had no reference material to go by.

Yep Craig it sure does.... I have one it has a overhead slide-in style camper but is just a shell has no interior with it.

Thanks Josh!...it was pretty tough you need to take your time on them. I am kind of a station wagon nut....always ether looking for more or converting others into them. Shame there are no decent looking luggage racks out there other than the one that comes with the old MPC 77 Dodge van kit. Looks like your off to a great start on yours.

I did the same thing to one I have last year...photos of it are in my photobucket.

If you were around here Id be signing up...always wanted to learn how.

Maybe an old retro 70s record store?

I got a package from(PARTSMARTY) and an envelope with some Sinclair decals for my diorama project from(dee)...Thanks very much to both of them...great guys!

George...that would be great but right now I have nothing to get there with...would be great if I could send you a list of parts,etc. I need to repair my dads old models and have it passed around?

My last trip to the local antique mall got me a 66 T-bird promo needing so attention but was cheap.

I love them too...antique malls and second hand stores and garage sales....all good places to find some nice plastic.

Hey Chris...your not too far from where I am at!....LOL..

you can try going to(Modelhaus resins)? they make a lot of parts mostly factory stock versions though. What were you looking for???

The madness begins two days before Thanksgiving and last till sometime in April here....You are a brave man George to get out into it all...me I hide from it. :lol: :lol: !

Looks cool to me.

SWEET stations!
