  1. While some modelers do fantastic jobs on weathering their model cars and trucks, I myself don't like rust on real cars or my models either.
  2. How can anyone enjoy Frankin and Danbury Mint cars in boxes??? I keep mine on display in a 6' tall curio cabinet with lights and mirrored backwall. The original boxes are stored in the garage in case I need to ever move, sell, or trade them.
  3. 40 Danbury and Franklin Mint models is a good sized collection, especially for only being in it for about a year.
  4. Yesterday's dashboards were very simple with 12 or less buttons, knobs, levers, etc. Some of today's new vehicles have 40+ buttons, knobs, levers, etc. Modern technology is destroying our simple quality of life.
  5. You're gonna miss that hospital food Harry. LOL!
  6. Very nice job on the two-tone paint, as it looks really sharp!
  7. The white primer seem to make the colors "pop" a lot more than they grey primers. Therefore as said before, I only use grey primers under black or silver colors.
  8. Hang in there Harry as we're all prayin' and pullin' for you. Quitters never win, and winners never quit.
  9. The only drag racing I watch is nostalgia drag races as drag racing was a lot of fun back in the mid-60's to early 70's. Even the "big name" drag racers didn't have "cookie cutter" cars like they have today. And no Asian cars were on the tracks either back then.
  10. I would use white primer under any color other than black or silver. Here's a photo of mine......................
  11. That Chrysler is beautiful, and I just love dem Mopars!
  12. I've been prayin' for Harry since I heard he had problems awhile back, and this is not the news I wanted to hear. DANG! More prayers on the way.
  13. That Dart is lookin' SWEEEET, and I just love dem Mopars!
  14. That's a great project you're undertaking as I really like the stock cars of the late 50's and early 60's. The cookie cutter cars of today, you can have. Sorry I can't help you with colors as I don't build stock cars, NASCAR, etc.
  15. I may have a sealed JoHan Sox & Martin kit available. Send me a message if you're interested.
  16. Very nice build on that Chrysler Thomas, and I hope that you bring it to the Milwaukee NNL next April. I just love dem Mopars!
  17. Great video as I've liked trains for many years and rode the rails in Alaska and Canada a couple years ago. I also enjoy Lionel trains with my grandson.
  18. What please me today was how very well behaved my 3 year old behaved in church this morning. He usually behaves pretty well in church, but today he was exceptional. Wow.
  19. A VERY Happy Birthday to you Carl, and many more.
  20. A shiny red super stock Dodge if I'm not mistaken.
  21. One can probably find a car like that on www.carsonline.com, just have your checkbook ready.
  22. I called the Vietnam Vets the other day to schedule a pickup for next week. More stuff going out the door which is good.
  23. Worked on my truck today, raked leaves and cut the grass and I ran out of gas. No not my lawn mower, but me. Guess my body is aging faster than I though that it would. Getting older is not easy at times.
  24. The Winnebago Auto Modelers will put on a great event, trust me.
  25. I've used Spaz-Stix a few times on both resin and plastic parts and really like it. I use two coats over gloss black enamel. Make sure that you "mist" the Spaz-Stix on and don't apply it wet.
