  1. Hi........really nice builds! i like the cadillac eldorado the most,but do like them all...i like unusual cars,nice work!
  2. Hi Nick.....sorry to hear of the bird trying to take flight, i had a rare red 70 gto promo that ive had since 1970...it was mint after some minor polishing that i had just finished...broke the r.bumper w/date-r.roof-r.glass....real bummer. i feel your pain.
  3. You guys arent thinking of the movie( corvette summer )are you....it had a wild customized metalflake red corvette that was built from a crashed vette from a salvage yard and was rebuilt as a school project? it had the same actor that was luke skywalker in his younger years.
  4. Hi guys/gals.........i wish i didnt have to shop on-line,for me the extra cost of the shipping may keep me from being able to buy on-line at times. to someone with a very low budget this is a factor,and at times it would be nice to buy locally....unfortunately in my case i have to. there just isnt any place to buy here.
  5. Hi Marshal....you guys did get some snow. nice background photo...early 60s ford pickup in the snow. enjoy it because i can do without it but will have to sooner or later.
  6. I to am into the wagons,it would be great to have wagons of 67 to 70 chevys , 66 to 70 pontiacs, 65 to 70 plymouths, 63 to 70 oldsmobiles and buicks. there are a lot more wagon and 4 door builders out there than realized.
  7. Hi...thats really cool,you did a good job of the build! really nice!
  8. Hi guys...id do everything i could to get one if they would. ive seen the art work ad and have thought of how nice it would be because i love the older style trucks.
  9. Hi lownslow..........nice! i really like thr tires and wheels...they look great on it...
  10. Nice haul!!!! i didnt get any, could you have your wife talk to mine?
  11. Ive had my fill of snow years ago.....you can have all of mine from now on? i hate it and thats being nice about it....mark
  12. Very nice! love all the details.........great trailer to go behind anything!
  13. Thanks for posting the hearses!.....ive always been a cadillac and hearse fan.....be nice to find some to build...............mark
  14. Hi Pat.........glad to hear your doing better!!!! one never knows what it means to have good health till they loose it.......you have my hopes of a speedy recovery and improved health....Merry Christmas....mark
  15. im still stupid though.....i drove 75 miles in 25mins on night.....state boys were waiting for me when i got home....ooooooopppppppsssss!
  16. Go ahead and agree with me.......i passed up so many good deals....my reason....stupidity! i had the car for 2 days on top of it.....i had at the time a rare 75 trans am first edition pace car....HO 400, auto,373 positrac, 160mph speedo, slap stick, functional shaker scoop, witch we put the largest hyd cam in........it would do the 160 at 3800rpm. 4 wheel disc car...one of 72 produced between pontiac and local dealer here. i guess i was blinded by love....
  17. Sure........if i can remember that long ago.....should be able to help if needed....you will like this....we had several rare tradins come in and i almost bought one, im a stupid guy for not....ether a 76 or 77 aspen R/T with the louvered side and back windows, 360 cid v8, 4 speed on the floor,w/boot only no console, high back buckets petty blue w/med blue interior.....car was absolutely scary if you didnt whatch it with the positrac........stupid me since i worked there i didnt buy it even though i could have gotten it for 300.00 , yep stupid!.....a 16 year old kid got it and wraped it around a tree by that morning................anytime mark
  18. Nick......i sold a lot of real ones in the 80s like that, we had one come in that was a freak....4cyl 5 speed turbo 4x4.....it would really run, had a lot of fun doing burn-outs with it.....your photos show its about the same shape as my older one......i got it at a garage sale years ago for i think only 2.00 but its missing rear bumper, gate,taillights under bed hub caps....otherwise complete 2wd wide box stock version truck....dont know the name of the kit or remember the body style year....ugly but odd enough to be a neat build....mark
  19. the tan is almost a perfect match to the color many of them were when i worked for a chrysler/datsun dealer in the 80s......i have the older body style kit,2 wd wide box but has no gate or underbed taillights...i thought of powder blue for it when ever i get around to it?
  20. Ok its going to be a weekend 4 wheeler toy..........how about light tan.....a lot of them were light tan or an ice blue color from the factory?
  21. I wonder if there making decals for revell..........the problems sound sort of the same as i have had...
  22. well that depends on what type of build you going to build it as..............stock-custom-off road-drag?
  23. WOW!!!!!!!!! them are some nice builds! very nice job on them......mark
  24. No problem............im a disabled builder and im familiar with needing help at times.....the builder that told me that builds models that are hard to tell from photos that if there real or not, the man is real good. ive been building for around 35 years and i learn something new everyday........you will enjoy the site, these guys have great skills and experience to share with you as they have for me. when you get to know them a little better they will seem like life long friends.....mark
  25. Hi guys/gals..........nice catches! the other day i got a broken up mpc red 70 gto promo that ive had for years..............it was mint after some very light polishing but i dropped it somehow. major bummer.
