  1. I enjoyed many of his photos like this one here..................................................... May he R.I.P.
  2. Over the years I've never personally bought anything from EVIL-bay. I have had a couple of my buddies purchase a couple models for me on the bay, but I never myself had made any transactions. Guess I'm doin' fine without it.
  3. Years ago the model companies gave out catalogs to promote their upcoming products and to touch base with their current products as well. Well when companies had to downsize to cut cost, they had to get rid of some employees, cut production & shipping costs, and also do away with the free catalogs. I used to go to the Unlimited Hydroplane races starting in 1990 and the sponsors would give away a lot of swag including pens, key chains, hats, buttons, pins, photos, printed material, etc. After a few years of this, one could see the decline of some of this swag due to the high cost of doing business. Just to sponsor a boat in the early 90's was one million dollars a year, and then the cost started rising as the years went by. Yep, it's all about the money.
  4. Yearly catalogs cost money, too much money and that's why they were cut from the budget.
  5. May the "Force" be with you.
  6. That IRONMAN gasser is really something to see and I hope that he's here this year at the Meltdown Drags. He's quite a "showman."
  7. Lookin' good, and one way to reduce or eliminate "orange peel" when spraying lacquers is to spray closer and faster so the paint doesn't dry before reaching the body.
  8. You forgot the guy they sent out to get the coffee and donuts for their "break."
  9. Now that sounds like political influence and I can't see that happening anywhere in this country, can you? LOL!!!
