Badluck 13

Ken you do some beautiful work...I have been looking at your work that you posted here lately and I have to say this one is just a work of art,love how the cab sits and the sleeper stretch , fuel tanks , air intake etc. I could just go on and on with this one.

Hey Bill thanks for the info!!....yeah I understand contents not to be covered which was a hard blow but being dropped for "Act Of God",wasn't like I drove my car through the garage and set the roof on fire with left over fireworks......did get in contact with ODI and filed a complaint,don't know if any good will come out of it but it is a start ~and~ peace of mind........Thanks again on ODI Yeah Joe it was....was structurally sound , jussssssssssssss a case of Bad Luck.............

I have been insured by State Farm for almost 30 yes 30 years and have always been please with Stare Farm UNTIL today,03/20/15... Like a good neighbor you are not more like the neighbor that make the neighbor hood unpleasant and here's why on March 5th my garage roof collapsed from the ice and snow we have had here in N.E. Ohio .....so like any person who has homeowners naturally calls to make a claim......THATS where I should have known this was going to go ALL wrong not only was I treated like it was my fault for mother natures doings then to come find out they AIN'T covering JACK!!!!! and so now I am going to be shelling out more of my OWN money than the check STATE farm wrote and oh too bad too sad for the contents in the garage...... So today started off rough being I haven't got the check back from the bank and the contractor decides to start the project early instead of next week but the kicker was when my State Farm agent calls me today and says "Hey mike how are you doing and how is the garage coming along?" ....." Okay Mike now for the bad news....State Farm is dropping you May 31st because YOU have too many claims"......TO MANY claims???? okay June 2010 we had a MAJOR hail storm and YES I filed a claim to repair the roofing on the house ~AND~ the garage....again something beyond my control,Mother Nature,and again July 2012 another hail storm and I called them to come out to check the roof to be sure it wasn't damaged and it wasn't and I was happy with that BUT a week later I get a check for $251.00 for the claim....I call my agent and tell him I don't need this or want it and he tells me "go ahead and cash it,don't worry about it" All three claims in the past 5 yrs has been from Mother Nature something I have NO CONTROL over but yet I get booted from State Farm and no other decent insurance company wont touch me because I been black balled AGAIN for SOMETHING I cannot help...THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH GOOD NEIGHBOR!!!!! ... its not like I drove my car through the garage or set the roof on fire from fireworks.... For those who have home owners with State Farm please ,please,PLEASE double check your policy and God help you if you ever have the misfortune of being dropped for something you have no control of !! One thing STATE FARM you need to remember....if a customer is happy then that customer will tell a few people of the good things BUT when you upset a customer or treat them in this way then they go way out of their way to try to tell everyone they can and do you care to guess what I will be doing????????????? and also will be find a different company to insure my cars that's been with you for the same amount of time........Later Taters........

FLAT out AWESOME!!!!!! congrats proud Papa!!!

Wow I would love to find a '60 Ford promo with no warping I have 8 of them from 2dr Starliner to sedan and wagon and all are warped to some degree however the two 2dr's have the least amount of warping....

..........doors are part of what is helping to support the front from falling over and doing more damage to the contents inside.......

This is how my March has started out......my garage roof collapsed and the walls are blowing out,got the Mustang out of harms way but under that roof debris lies a '61 Corvair,'40 Ford 9n,'65 Meyers Manx Dune Buggy,'57 Coke Machine,tools, and about 60 un built kits from 20 yrs ago that I cannot get to

Hey Al you got every reason to "spout off" and could pretty much tell Thursday night you are a proud papa indeed !!! from what I hear Trevor has some mighty impressive stats ....way to go!!.......can you say PBA!!!!!

The bumpers I haven't had much luck in matching but on the grilles I personally find "Model Color" 70.562 Black Grey acrylic is pretty close I find them at Hobby Lobby with the model paints they have some really neat colors to work with for details n such...

Hey Jack beautiful Mustang you sure did a great job ...can't wait to see the next model you build!! keep up the great work!

Got up this morning to find my garage roof collapsed from the snow and then heavy rain....my Corvair is a total, my 9N looks to be maybe okay but can't get in to assess the damage......

I like the models because of the work that goes into it to make it so real looking and ok Al your gonna hate me on this one but I also enjoy seeing these things show up at shows n such......I mean have you ever crawled around looking at some of these 1:1's? some have a ton of work into them like a few summers ago a buddy and I went to Canfield swap meet and there was an old Ford tow truck RAT there and we could not get enough of that thing,we kept going back to check out this n that and discovering other things.....I am on the same page I do like my 1:1's "well done" but like you I spend countless times looking at these models that look so real in the weathering/used look to the point I too would love to master the art in making the "old n crusty" look....like a certain 36 Ford maybe...........

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that is so adorable!!!!............enjoy!!!

I love it!!!! I built one of these 25yrs ago and just found it packed away not to long ago and I do remember these are such fun kits to work with and there are never 2 alike in the 1:1's,I too "hogged" out one of the window openings on mine,no hijack here but if interested here is a link to mine http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=92550 I just recently purchased a few of the "later" versions of these runners i.e. Vega,Pinto,and looking for some of the older ones so I can tell you I will be watching this one come to life and grab a few ideas from yours......chassis looks great and nice paint on the diff,and liking the tire combo set up.....I'm a watchin'

Awwww man I always loved that mag growing up couldn't wait to read the new Krass & Bernie and also liked their "and we don't have to tell you what happened next" page.....another thing about CARtoons Mag it helped me to learn cartoon drawing which always &!$$ed of the art teacher in the '70's/'80's

Always liked the '71-'72 Coupe Deville

I too always loved this kit .....and yours with the stance,color,and wheel combo looks beautiful.

OHHHHHHhhhhhhhh I know this one!!!!!..........Malcolm.....

You might want to try vhart@hartspartsresin.com if he don't show it drop him a line being he may have one or can make you one,he did a stock hood,interior tub(sedan style) and bench seat for Jo Han AMC Rambler and the stuff I got was priced VERY well and beautiful quality....
