Tom what you said was great, but again if we opened up to critiquing, several of us can learn. I would put a build up just so I could show how it would work. I don't want people getting offended and all of a sudden no one comes here because of what someone said public or private. If posted in the critiquing thread, they will have to understand they are opening themselves up for all opinions. Just like a car show. The under glass is not the judging area it's just for display. Congratulate the builder for his or her accomplishment. it doesn't have to be every car and it also doesn't have to be everyone critiquing. I used to run a forum and it can be set up for only certain members to reply.

Some may have a chip on their shoulder but there are several with a bag of corn chips on their shoulder. Opinions are like armpits, everyone has them, some of them stink.

Bingo, IMHO just pat them on the back for the accomplishment and encourage them to keep moving forward. If I got some of the comments that have been posted on other builds I would not be building. I'm not saying give a trophy to every kid just because they participate but st least encourage them to come back and try again. The problem with this society is that we rely to much on the microwave. Push a button and bingo you have a 5 star tv dinner to go. I don't expect donn yost quality paint jobs over night, nor do I expect scale master results. This is why I suggest a sub category to finished builds. Here is an example the builder post a picture of under carriage, both sides, front and back, interior and under hood. He states what he has trouble with and people that "KNOW" how to fix a problem offer their comment on how to keep the body on the chassis without it popping up. Or the correct way to put in plug wires etc etc etc.

Ah, well I was posting from my phone, so I can't read everything. But I stated that just for reference. As far as the topic goes, I'm not just talking about one topic in particular. I don't post a lot of my builds and I don't post my wip but that's another reason lol. That is because when I post wip I never finish them. I guess all in all everyone needs to watch how they word things both topic and comments. And I know it doesn't cover all the drama and soap opera but it is a start. If a topic gets blown out of proportion with all the flaming and crud. The OP should lock it or a mod should lock it.

Ok thank you. I'll see if I can find it in their archives if ther have any.

Gregg has also posted that above the forum to keep those comments to yourself. Regardless of honey dripping praise and pat on the back is fine. That's what the under glass section is for, nothing else. The sub category on the other hand is for comments to help. Not to hurt the builder. Like hey the exhaust pipe doesn't connect to the header or manifold. That looks like junk. The forum would be for constructive criticism which we all need to work on regardless of who we are, my self included. Like here is a tip to get the exhaust pipe to connect to the manifold. Or here is how you can do this to make that better or work smooth. Donn has a video on the paint that covers the tips. But not everyone can afford it. So tips like warming the rattle can would help somewhat on grapefruit peel. I also have seen the comments from well known builders and they are the pat on the back so to speak. While others that may not build as well. Destroy the workmanship that has been put into a build. Present and past.

Anyone know where I can find good reference pics beside google? It doesn't help. Other info that I need is what color was the primer on this car? How was the under carriage? Over spray, painted or just primer? I've been researching but can't find anything. I do have a color close to what they said was a factory color. It was sunflower yellow. Mines a little brighter is there anyway to tone it down or should I leave it?

I have noticed a few things in here, and one of them is the most recent. I'm not implying anything. But it was a well built model built by a talented builder. But it seems that if the model had been built by art, John, scale master or some extremely talented builder there wouldn't have been as much negative feedback and poop throwing. Under glass is for finished models of all kinds. Except trucks apparently lol. Regardless of that it's for completed models both good and bad and in between. For the builders to display a model and drama pops up because someone throws a bad opinion and yes I commented on that insult. It was really uncalled for IMHO. For a builder to spend countless hours and state that fact to be insulted. Just my observation is all. And on a second wind if it's a finished model. Electronically slap the build on the back and say good job. Not up side the head and say what we're you thinking. I would like to propose an area or subcategory to the finished models. It is for critiquing built models..... On that note the builder Will have to understand that they are opening themselves up for all kinds of input both good and bad. I know that there will be some drake but if we would exercise constructive critizism it would help everyone. Leave the drama to teenage girls and soap operas to the women. I'll leave this unlocked for comment but the first spark it will get locked.

Someone in my church has a Nissan Altima 2012 with the same thing.

There is a critic in every group, just like there's a donkey in every pack of horses

If the car is 1:24 .30 gauge wrapping wire from radio shack will be perfect. Ours has white red and blue. I just bought some.

Sweet ride, I can't believe it's not butter. my dad has a 66 nova SS and this looks clean.

Rom, that is some awesome work. I remember some flak that you caught here while back. You definitely have pulled through and proved otherwise.

Freedom of expression, so if someone insults my family my county or my self, I have a right to beat them down? It's freedom of expression right? Lol Btw like the caddy but they could have picked someone better than Hillary. We already know that she was president.

$6.00 apiece

Lol I can actually answer all the questions, the "homework" is actually flyers for our youth conference coming up. I guess we were trying to make a grand entrance and get the advertisement out there lol.

Well then this is aggravating. Maybe this will work http://s1000.photobucket.com/albums/af130/LtXCustoms/bus%20crash/

This will take you to a pic, and you should be able to see the rest. http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af130/LtXCustoms/bus%20crash/7bf9717f.jpg

In that previous note I wasn't driving I was two seats behind the driver.

Actually it was one of the teenagers that had the cell phone. The driver done an outstanding job of controlling what he could. I'll post a link for the rest of the pics.

Not one lol only thing lost was one cell phone.

I apologize for us making a scar on your interstate. Just trying to let this out a little bit if you guys don't mind and try to find some humor in the seriousness. Yesterday around four our driver side drive tire blew and threw us into the median and we traveled a little over a quarter of a mile going into incoming traffic. It is a miracle because we were heading toward the piling of the overpass and it went up and hit the guard rail throwing us into traffic with several cars and two 18 wheelers coming at us. We had 51 people on the bus escaping with minor injuries. The othe two cars involved no one was hurt. We didn't hit them but the pressure forced them over and one rear ended the other and threw them into the median. No deaths there either. I have many other photos at the photobucket site.

I emailed mobieus about it, they told me they do take request for cars and that the email would be forwarded up the chain of command. Next to contact is the orginal manufacture and see I they will consider doing it in 1:24.

Thanks for the information, my dad had a 68 with a 440 wedge and I want to build it in the kit form as well. I'm kinda hoping to find a 1:1 for him.

Just found out my uncle had a Lincoln close to this body style except it was a 4 door.
