High octane

Yes it is the "real deal" as I've seen that site before and need to spend much more time on it. I started going to the drag strips and drag racing in the mid-60's and it was a great time. A time that I'll never forget.

When I was in Charlotte seven years ago, I didn't have time to eat as I was there on business and it cost me a lot.I flew in, hopped a cab, conducted business, got a ride back to the airport and hopped on a plane to Cleveland and then a connecting flight to Milwaukee. It was a long day.

While I just picked up the new Revell release of the '30 Model A Coupe yesterday, it may be the only Revell kit I buy this year. Seems like nothing else "floats my boat," not even the Bronco.

I built my El Camino from the Soap Box Derby kit in the early 80's, however I have no idea what I did with the derby car and I probably "tossed" the box

They do look great as I may have a set somewhere in my stash also.

Lookin; very good so far Rob, as I just picked up one of those kits today. However I'm currently on 6 month hiatus from model building. I have some old Wizzz magazines that I may use for references if and when I start my kit.

Very nice re-build Tony, and great color choice also.

I drove to "cheeseland" today and had a "sneak peek" at the new Portillo's in Brookfield. They also gave me a FREE lunch and a t-shirt. This event was by invitation only. They will "officially" open next Tuesday on July 19th. Great food as always. I also stopped at the Model Empire and picked up the new Revell '30 Ford Model A Coupe kit, and also the latest issue of Model Cars Magazine as well.

After the first coat of primer goes on, I NEVER wash the body anymore. Never. I do use a tack rag before painting the color coats, and also before applying the clear coats 24 hours later.

Modern technology is destroying our simple quality of life.

I'm sure glad that I have my wife to take care of ALL my computer problems, otherwise this "laptop" would've been out the window more than once.

AMEN!

Well if no one buys the business from Don & Carol, I can see it going by the wayside just like JoHan with kits and parts NEVER to be produced again. it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

While I don't know for sure, it seems like most of all the "can't miss" hobbyshops have gone by the wayside. Of course if you'd like to drive to southern Wisconsin, the Model Empire is a can't miss hobby shop and I'll be goin' there this week myself.

Good points Harry, all of them.

While I've never ordered anything from Perry's Resin, I have bought his stuff from another vendor at Toledo several years back. From what I'm hearing, it seems like Perry's is going by way of Reliable Resin, and I myself would definitely not order anything from him. As far as I know, there are NO resin casters out there that offer anything that I cannot live without.

Your right about respecting Don & Carol as they deserve that and more. I haven't placed any last orders with Modelhaus, as I have enough kits and parts without adding more to the "pile." I'm also getting tired of trading ca$h for plastic & resin just to take up more room, as I'm not a person who starts or finishes a lot of builds every year. In fact I'm currently on a 6 month hiatus and hopefully I'll get back to building this fall.

I just set my model that's on the paint stand on a shelf, and have had no problems. Of course you could have a "clean room" built with HEPA filters, wear a clean suit complete with mask and gloves and hope that no dust gets on your model.

I'm a "rattle can man" and use Tamiya spray cans as well as Black Gold, Testors, Dupli-Color, and MCW. I like 'em all. I would definitely use Tamiya paints.

Now your dreamin'.

I used to belong to a radio control club back in the 90's, and what you're saying is like having two vehicles running on the same frequency. That won't work.

No sleeper cab here...........................................................

Golden Years also known as "the rusty years." My uncle used to say that getting old is like an old car, as your parts start wearing out. Looks like there's some truth to that.

Sorry ti hear of your loss Tony. Condolences to you and your family.

I was hopin' to get to the NHRA Museum this year as I'll be out that way, except my better half booked us non-stop flights, and no stop in L.A. Oh well.
