Over half of mine are started/stalled projects.

How many of you consume ALL natural foods? no preservatives no added chemicals not anything added just straight natural food. No one does. You put more poisons in your body, and into the eco system every time you drive a vehicle. That being said how many of you smoke or drink? More toxic waste dumped into your body. Besides that what about these large companies that dump waste into our streams and rivers. Do you know there are at least 11 rivers forced to go underground while we as in everyone dump hazardous chemicals into them. How about the toilet do you know some of that gets into the streams and rivers? As well when they embalm someone that goes right into the rivers and drinking water. I know all of these things for a fact. I dont think you really need to be concerned with a few household chemicals dumped in a back yard somewhere. And there is a whole lot more that could be said about mining and freon if people want to pick. Im not aggrivated just making a point. If you want to gripe at the little man you need to look at the large picture.

Got a HP laptop, Ipad, Iphone, and Ipod. I mainly get online with my ipad. When im out ill check it on my phone. They should make an app for MCM lol. And I wont be getting any chip anytime soon or in the future, thats too far for me.

It all is in the weight. Most of what I send is under a pound. Ever since I got a scale for the sole purpose of shipping, it cut down on spending 8 to ten bucks a kit.

I've sent it as far as new York for 6 bucks and it will be there in less than a week usually. I send my stuff USPS. Priority usually unless it's too much then it gets parcel.

Never heard of them. Andy I'll post more on it later down the road. Lol it does seem a bit confusing.

It's amazing as well you guys drive air polluting cars as well, don't be griping about someone dumping chemicals in their back yard.

Ive been searching for this and I also posted about this earlier. I've found factory colors for this and I have a close color for that. It's for a 69 nova yenko. I've been looking for the starter I mostly have found them to be a brass and aluminum color. As for the coil I'll keep looking as well for the smog pump. What I'm having trouble with is the primer and chassis. Is it overspray? Or just primer? The closest primer I could find is a ruddy brown. Thank you for those that have given me some places to look. And thank you in advance for your help.

That's great, I just checked that site out tho. Shipping is killer. They wanted 16 bucks for shipping on one kit.

Actually I Only drilled two holes one in the very center, for a pilot. Then chose a drill bit just tad bit smaller than the distributor and went about half way down. I also used a little larger wire for the plug boot to take up some room. The red wire is a little larger in dia. For the coil. Pretty good huh lol 15 min before I was confused as a republican.

It's a little roughshod but it'll do. I'll clean her up and go to work on the engine. What do you think? I also have the starter solenoid wired. Btw this is my first time do this.

Well now I have an excuse to go to Nebraska lol, when my wife wants to go back to her home state.

Rofl that's great. But beside that.....build it or ship it over here.

That's where I buy mine, the same guy has a pack of four for about 10 bucks. I've bought from him a couple of times. Quick shipper to boot.

Wow, I actually thought the inspirational pics were pics of the model until I read that. Great job, and the right pics you wouldn't be able to tell a difference.

Just a quick definition in my book, of scratch built. Is never been made, built from plastic sheets, tubes or pieces. Could be resin or metal, but only made by the person building the car. Nothing in production. Now there's catch. 22 or whatever. Scratch built could be like Harry said. Not in a production kit or however he put it. Those are the main two terms that could be used. But since that apparently needs cleared up the first one is the truer definition of scratch built. The second one needs a name of its own like NPK. Non produced kit, or something of the sort. Besides that fact this was not just based on rommels ride, it was also based on the others that either get no remarks or nasty comments. I for one am usually the one that doesn't get remarks. I really don't care, and am not whining. I post them on here to show what I've completed. Regardless of the fact there have been some well made points on here and it needs to be left at that. I know there will always be trouble makers, but then there are also nice guys. Don't let a few bad ones spoil the whole barrel.

What part of arkansas? Next time I'm in that area I'll stop.

O I should be posting what I got lol, I just won a super bird factory sealed off eBay for 17 bucks. And missed out on two 1937 cords that went for 16 bucks including shipping.

The girl that had the car was right under shoulder height to me, if that helps. But I even scooted the seat back. We have a civic, well it's my wife's car and I constantly have to move the seat she is 5'0". I'll be glad when I get my mustang up and running so I can set back on the ground again.

5'10"

James, if your very tall you won't like that car lol. I drove one and I was so scrunched up it wasn't even funny.

I know these are extremely popular, but it is one of my favorite cars. Nice statement, in building a popular car, and making it your own.

True style, it looks great I've been wanting to build a rat truck, not that detailed tho.

Ahhh, thanks for pointing that out I started to become one of them. I don't mean to kiss their pinkie toe on every build. And I'm not saying reply to every build, but after 80 views and no one replies, it surely can't be that bad of a build. I do realize we are all different, and that's what makes the world go around. But I see people drooling over exquisite builds and stepping over newbies. And some in between because they show promise. One thing I have noticed, and I have felt this personally. I don't feel like a car or truck would be accepted because its not "realistic". It's a model car for goodness sakes. I mean if you want to talk about cartoonish cars look at the donks and some rice burners out there not including four wheel drive cars. A model car should look like a model car and be able to feel fine with it. Yes I do try to make some of mine realistic, but not all of mine are that way. I don't want to be politically correct, but we all could watch our attitude around here. It gets very hostile at times. I for one spent as much time building as I do online, I would probably get more done. I do my best to get done what I have to do, then get online. The reason I say that is because some probably feel like they are in charge because they are on here the most. I don't know about the ones that buddy up to the mods, I haven't been here that long. I also try to stay out of the garbage, but sometimes it just goes too far. It's been said before, most of us are grown ups. Act like it. And I see the same pattern of here is another thread about the same subject.....your right it is. But as long as there is trash talk, and jerks that think they run the place or bash models because they don't par to what they think it should... There should be more threads like this. For the simple fact if there wasn't threads like this there would be so much garbage in here, that I believe Gregg would shut it down, and I would be behind him. Wherever there is something good, there is always something bad to try and ruin it. This goes beyond just finished model kits in the under glass section. It goes for people looking for info, like my other thread for the 69 nova that I am looking for info. Everyone of us are tuned in for more drama, what's going to go on next at mcm. Yes there is quite a bit of helpful info that goes out. But once some drama or some heat starts, everyone drops what they are doing and put their two cents in. Now I'm done....I think....no I'm done I've said my peace and it probably won't be the last. Just sayin that it wouldn't hurt to be a little nicer, to newbies especially. I'm going to go more to under glass and practice what I preached.

Well then, I guess if there is nothing nice to say don't say it. But...... What will it hurt to say congratulations on a model completed. To some, like me that's an accomplishment lol. But if your good with words and if the OP wouldn't mind constructive criticism then post on. If you have something to call on like say the muffler tips are not lined up correctly. Don't say it looks like trash. Say something followed by how to fix it. Use common courtesy. I do realize for some people keeping their trap shut is common courtesy. But with 80 views on one subject wip or finished and no comments that also does a little blow on the builders confidence.
