Hey guys there was a nice group this time at Balboa Park. One car is getting it's own thread in case anyone wants to get daring in models. I took a lot of pics so I will divide this up. This set here will be mainly American cars. I hope you guys like and look at my other up coming posts. Here is a few to get started. If comments get in there don't fret, I'll post more I am going to start with my personal Favorite in the showcase....

OK cool just making sure. I'll start one here and if you want to move it to 1:1 go ahead here is another teaser..

Thanks guys! I am working on the car photos right now I have one I HAVE to share. I guess Harry it will need to be in 1:1 reference areas? Just so I put it in ok. One is about the longest recorded drive ever. They changed the oil and flat tires in motion!

Hey guys Thanks again to all for the warm wishes. MY wedding went great and I went to San Diego for the honeymoon. (1st pic is my wife and I and our kids) I did not get to check out hobby shops as we packed a lot into a couple days. Here are a couple pics taken with my cell phone and the good camera. What a difference I went to Sea World day one and day 2 went to Balboa Park. There I went to the San Diego Auto Musuem and the Model Railroad Musuem. I took her to some others as well. Here is a teaser while I work on a post for the Autos post ( I still have to upload to Photobucket and all )

Ouch but so true

Thats pretty cool! There is one that looks close to my XJ650

Thank you all for the warm wishes and I'll make sure I take pictures!

True! I smell a 1976 Pontiac Phoenix in those colors soon. lol and Thanks!

Hey Rodger what kit is this? The blue body and unpainted. It reminds me of the old Hot Wheels Twin Mill but the hood and missing engines show otherwise. I'd like to maybe convert one of these If its not a rare piece( but i'll guess it is )

My fiance is from Chicago area and a die hard fan of many but she came up with the Studebaker Hawk for the Black Hawks( she is at a loss for her Cubbies and the only thing I can think Bear wise I can only think of quads. There is a Grizzly out there.

I have a 1/24 Mustang for my ( I am too asking for punishment) KC Chiefs but I think a Jeep Cherokee Chief would work. I have nothing for my Cards lol any car named Cardinals?

Thanks Kevin!

Thank you Donnie I didn't know it was there. I haven't been in a long time ( since I was kid really) Air and space sounds awesome to! We plan on one day at Sea World, one at Balboa and one ant the beach weather permitting.

Thanks guys and your all too funny! She just read these too trying sooooo hard not to laugh and it was a smile you could not hide With that Auto Museum is that where the Peterson one is?

I thought about it I am heading to San Diego and I'm already getting her to agree to the model railroad museum there so I don't know how much I can get her to take lol. Any suggestions around Balboa Park Cali guys?

Hi guys I just want to say after 13 years of being together I am getting married tomorrow. I hope this being here is no problem. I check this site everyday. It's my relax time after work and love to see everyones builds. I'm almost afraid to not check in in 5 days since new threads will be on page 2 or 3 Anyway If I have a current trade in the works with you bare with me please I will be back Sunday evening as I'm heading out of town Take care everyone and hope you all have some eye candy for me when I get back!

Great point! I have seen 18 wheelers that are jaw dropping and are often over looked due to people thinking that there is not much you can do to them. I know from groing up with truckers that it's a passion for most. A trucker can tell you things about a rig that is well matched to a passionate hot rodder.

Man thats coming together well. Great work on the scallops!

72 for the win! Lets see who gets that Nice JJ car! I wouldn't give up either. I wanted to after my 1st one but after time you can put those roll bars together in your sleep.

Oh ok. I was thinking Toyota but I'm only used to the Lindberg ones and the bed detail threw me off a bit

Wow thats nice. What color is that?

Nice! I love Elks just make sure your not doing a fast left turn and blow a lower radiator hose and spinout. My buddy did that in a '69 Fun ride! I like the car and the color combo

Hey Joe the best way is go to the Tips section and follow Clay's thread on Photobucket. It saved me a great deal of trouble and grief and I did upgrade to a pro account but I was no where close to needing to pay for Photobucket. Hands down Clay's thread is great! Good luck and I can't wait to see some stuff.

Cool old truck! Nice work on the wires too. Once you get used to it you'll do it to old builds I bet. Nice blue too!
