Badluck 13

My family and I are all sending prayers to your way for your wife and you and will be in our thoughts and hearts.......

Hey Clyde e-mail sent....

I just received a Rockford Files style '78 Firebird body from him last week....very nice casting!

I just got the " Ford F-350 Dually Bed Side Panel Kit - Panels w/Wheels & BFG Tires " last night and MAAAAAAAAAAN !!!!!! I cannot believe the quality !!!! , I have never seen or had a casting so clean and crisp detail perfect A1 quality.....trust me if you wanna build a dually you have to get these and they are worth every penny!!!! Thanks Dan!!!

I remember this build when it was work in progress...fill in all the nasty snap tabs on the sleeper,using model railroad rivets on the stretch etc.Brian you inspired me to get back into this hobby with this build and to use this kit for my first subject and always been a fan of your work.....hope to see more from ya.....

I work as a parts manager for a Ford dealer and our biggest nightmare to look parts up for or to work on and if the name alone wasn't bad enough was the Ford Probe.......

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE 'Stang!!! ...enjoy!

I actually have one on the bench I have been working on finally , The kit has some minor issues that I have what I think I have worked out except the exhaust , with the headers in place I test fit the exhaust pipe and it no where near lines up , The headers are to far apart and I have them moved in as far as they go. Anyone have this issue and if so what's the trick that I am over looking?.....Thanks for any info.

Now that's a beauty!!

Thanks for the info!!!! huge fan of Fords involvement in this series ......even though I am a Ford man,Ben I have to agree with you that it was awesome to see the C7R doing so well,always was a fan of Pratt & Miller and Ron Fellows .....they too had a rough beginning like the GT when they first brought out the C5R and second year they were knocking on the Vipers back door and third year dominated ...... nothing like seeing these thoroughbred race cars of beauty run 24 hrs.

Tom what a cool project!!! ...Rockford Files was/is my all time favorite show of all time,have the complete box set and never tire watching it.......you have captured this so perfectly as usual ! ,I for one will be watch this work of art in process!!!

Hey thanks everyone for the congrats!!!! ...... I feel real good about this one ....she even got her first resin conversion kit last night .... It's all good

.....Some here may or may not know that I am a single dad to the most awesome lil' girl a father could ever ask for and that's part of a huge reason why I haven't really dated seriously or anything because at my age (now 53) and having a daughter still at home (she's now 14) makes it kinda difficult when most people at this age has grown kids , don't get me wrong,I wouldn't have it any other way having Baby Girl still at home,even for the next 20yrs lol ......I did however met a girl who is around my age that not only understand my issue but she has 2 sets of twins still at home 2 16yr boys and two 19yr old girls. We been dating for a while and it just amazes me I could find someone that has pretty much the same likes,wants and desires as I and the kids ALL get along and their real dad doesn't have much to do with them for reasons I wont get into and the girls already call me dad and one especially we have become very close.....so with the help of the girls including Baby Girl helped me with sizing and ring hunting and so last night I asked this wonderful woman to marry me and she said "YES".......just wanted to share this and Ohhhh she is into model building as well!!!!!!

Leaf springs?!?!?!?? ....Harry you musta got one of those "Super Retro Package" s197's...... As far as the "new" '15 up Mustangs go ...we see veeeeeeery little problems with the car here at the dealership which is somewhat unusual when a new design is released,the customers who had purchased the '15 up loves them compared to the s197's ....a real good friend of mine has both a '06 and '15 and he loves both and says that there is great qualities on both but what he finds impressive is the fact his '15 is quicker than his '06 GT and the '15 is a 4 banger....I personally don't see getting rid of my '08 for new Mustang,from the windshield back I love the car,its just I cannot get past the front end,but that's just my opinion.....Cameron just hang in there and reach for your goal as I too went through financial hard times but I did finally get my 'stang.....I am hoping for ya!!!

This saddens me a whole lot....I know we must all go at some time but Paul was one of those I really enjoyed and loved his work......many of his writing has help me through the years,in fact my first "rock" song ever introduced to was my sisters 45 "Somebody to Love" in '68 and loved his work ever since......the Heavens has many greats now for one heck of a performance.....R.I.P. Paul......

......Two races a year I will not miss...Rolex 24 at Daytona and 24 at Le Mans......

Hey Dave good to see ya back here......

Got this last night....,had to open it to see what it was like,I passed this up may times back in the day when they were on the shelves....from what I can see it looks to be a nice kit.

Jussssss what I was thinkin'...........

Ertl 4070a Any of the Vega's Any of the Pinto's '75-'76 Firebird .....and many more.....but the above are the main ones I love to have...

Mine was back in '75, a Chevrolet Titan I got when I was 12 and all I painted was the cab Testors metallic blue and the engine Testors bottled green,I remember having a heck of a time getting the cab glued to the hinges......then it all started from there.........

After NINE long months fighting with the permits,county,etc. to rebuild...... I finally have a garage as of TODAY!!!!!!.......

Sad news indeed,I always enjoyed Adam-12 and he was my favorite on the show and my daughter who will be 14 has always had a crush on Martin Milner,she would watch anything he was in,Route 66 Adam 12 and Twilight zone and a few others she found and watched.....last year I said to her "Bev he was younger then,he's a lot older now" and I found a recent picture of him and she said "He's still cute,looks good for his age" lol Thank you for the great work Martin now may you be reunited with you daughter Amy....

Now that is just plain "Purdy"!!.....perfect color and wheel/tire combo and that grille just finishes it off!
