  15. here is a flash from the past for you..... this image didn't come from ebay, found on a fotki site.
  16. i think my first model was a large scale Harley Davidson. i remember my dad and i building it, he hung it up on the closet door to let it dry and i could not help myself, so i took it outside and played with it and ruined it lol... i have never built another bike and don't know if i ever will. i kept building because everytime we went to Kmart (when it was a good place to shop), there was always a new cool drag car or hot rod on the shelf i had not seen. my uncle Bob RIP and my dad RIP both kept me interested in the hobby as well as my uncles Mike, Joey and Lauren that all were into building models. my uncle Bob used to own a Hobby Town here in Omaha and the whole "family" would get their stuff from him. almost everyone i knew back in the late 70's and early 80s and even through the late 80's to early 90's built models! now days i don't go to hardly anyones home that has models on the shelf in their den or living room , let alone a "hobby room" to build in. the only people i know that build these days are the only friends i have. i don't know if it exactly the best thing, but i have closed myself off from almost everyone that does not build or have real interest in cars or trucks. i have learned over the years that most the people i knew that didn't build models was doing something else such as partying , drinking or doing drugs. i did a lot of that when i was younger , but i think it's boring and a waste of time, not to mention i am married with a child so i don't want to be involved in anything that could possibly get me into trouble. bottom line.....the old days are gone, but i am hanging onto them. even though about 90% of the models made today or reproduced are of no interest to me, i can always find something to build if i keep an open mind to the vintage stuff still floating around since i missed out on a lot of them as a kid and was not born when most of the best ones were made. :wink:
  17. i am half way there with the 2dr.... http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc...l_1962_plymout/ i will ad the 4dr to the wanted list www.thedpmcc.com/instructionsintro.html
  18. got chassis painted. it totally slipped my mind that the bed floor was to be white at least, but it came out just fine! there is a little cleanup paint work to do on the black of interior floor from overspray. i thought it was sealed up good, oh well..... the cab wall actually hides almost all of it. i can't remember the last time i had to do something like this? the floor,bed floor and underside of chassis is three steps in paint alone. actually 4 if you count primer. there is a filler piece that comes in the kit if you build this version that goes in the frontal hole of the floor. i am working on the engine now and since the instructions and box art give absolutely no clue to what colors are used, i am freestyling it. the Hemi will be orange with aluminum heads. it's coming along! i have the headlight caps in now and that alone looks too cool!
  19. i will add it to the wanted list for you. http://thedpmcc.com/instructionsintro.html
  20. nice work bro! love the clean look
  21. i agree , i am 33 in June this year and i play games but i consider modeling much more important. i basically wake up and go to bed nothing by models. i do however play games such as drag racing, MAFIA and Grand Theft Auto. all three games are on my computer and all three have cars LOL.... go figure. i play them to pass time , but not very often. i have not beaten a game since Nintendo first came out in what? 1987?
  22. that is looking great! for goodness sakes, please tell us about them tools! i have never seen either peice and am very interested to know where you got them? thanks! awbcrazy@tconl.com
  23. thanks Jairus! it will be nice to get some mockup photos soon. i have the chassis painted and need to get the Hemi done up and inserted hehe!
  24. decals are done, clear coated, not polished and does not need a polish i am working on the chassis and engine right now....more to come!
