Send me a friend request; there are 2 Steven Zimmermans on FB, I'm the one with model car stuff all over my page.........'Z'

I cleaned out my mailbox here on the forum, should work now. BTW, Russ Osborne, isn't FACEBOOK......a website ?.............Have a nice day......

Apparently my mailbox here in the forum is full, I just deleted all messages in it , so it should work now. I tried to delete messages individually, but it would not respond, so I deleted all. Sorry for the inconvenience.......'Z'

I missed it last year due to a bad wheel bearing , hope to be there with about 300 sets of wheels...........'Z'

I think this is the best, IMHO, tri - five chassis on the market. Poseable steering, separate frame from the floor pans and exhausts , most well detailed. I do not know how it lines up with the Revell offerings, but again, best frame out there.......'Z'

I'm not sure why it won't go - try sending me a friend request.........'Z'

I have given a lot of thought to this. I have seen too many small one man casting operations, with great product, go "website", then go out of business later because they could not keep up with demand. I have talked to those who recommend I open a website, citing my orders will double or triple immediately. All my spare time ( I'm retired) is devoted to this 'ZSWHEELZ' now. I'm not willing to give up what little spare time I have left, to hunt for the almighty dollar.I am quite comfortable with the way things are, and am not going to change that; at least not at this point. If you're not willing to purchase my product because of the way I market it, that is your prerogative. I offer what I feel is a good product at a good price, haven't had anyone complain, return a product, or complain about my methods until now, and have been offering these wheels for over 5 years now. Sorry you feel that way, Russ. You're entitled to your opinion, but at this point I'm not going to change anything. Have a nice day..........'Z'

Jason, those are nice wheels, but they are not my product.......'Z'

Sorry, only sell on my face book home page under the album 'ZSWHEELZ', at NNL east, Toledo NNL, Detroit NNL, and local shows within driving distance of my home. I'm sorry, but those are the parameters I have set, in order to retain what little sanity I have left. Don Holthaus once told me, that if I ever cast and offered resin products, I would never have time to complete another model....he was right. It takes just a few minutes to join FACEBOOK, another few minutes to search for my homepage. I'm sorry, but that's my choice........Steven Zimmerman, aka the 'Z'man, 'Z', etc.

65 , retired a few years ago. 31 years at Channellock, Inc, last 20 of those as a cutter grinder. Custom automotive paint since I was 21, been an avid model builder since I was 9. Deeply involved in the automotive scene here since I learned how to drive, know my way around a car pretty well, and can rebuild the 'older stuff' from the ground up, if I have to.........Steven Zimmerman

IMHO, do what YOU LIKE BEST, no matter what other's opinions are.........'Z'

I NEVER thought I'd say this, but I gotta get one of these !..............'Z'

The AMT 57 Chevy ' STREET MACHINE ' has a well detailed big block Chevy, and ( I think) a turbo 400 behind it ? I don't know if it's a 454, but then all Chevy big blocks are pretty much identical on the outside.

One thing you don't see often in our hobby - ....Shiny tires !....Attend any car show or automotive event, and you will see an abundance of ARMOR ALL type products on tires, something pretty much ignored by our fellow builders. I use actual tire care products to achieve this.........'Z'

I got a 68 /0 Pro Mod Chevelle from Bandit not long ago. Nice piece, IMHO

the box contains 4 F60 - 15 and 4 L60 - 15, AMT 15" wheels fit these tires. I haven't found any AMT wheels in 15" that won't fit these tires, so far. Other wheels may have to be modified to fit. IMHO, one of the BEST products to hit the market in a long, long time........'Z'

Hey, I got issue # 199.....then issue # 201.....where's #200 ?

AAAARGH, ya beat me to it, !

Perfect chop !...Lovin this, keep us posted.....'Z'

Agreed. Black is my favorite color to shoot, either from an airbrush, or from a can. .A good paint job , no matter what color , depends 99 percent on preparation. You can have a perfectly prepared model, and screw up the paint job, but you CANNOT lay a perfect paint job on a poorly prepped surface, no matter what the color..............'Z'

Look for scale siding, in plastruct or evergreen. Several different types / sizes are available.

Do you understand static electricity ? And I have had models sitting in the case for years after being completed, with no flocking residue on the inside of the windshield, and have it show up ( usually when cleaning for a contest)Your answer sounds easy, try it sometime.....

Embossing powder does not 'shed' later on, ever try to get flocking residue off the inside of your model's windshield ?..... I could care less about how embossing powder 'feels', more interested in it's durability and ease of use. Just my opinion, but I no longer have flocking anywhere in my hobby room.

We will be leaving around 10 Friday morning. I will be helping Ron Andrews at his table, and will have some 500 sets of ZSWHEELZ also............Steven Zimmerman aka The 'Z'man..........

I just went back and checked; I have no friend request from Celtic Modeler, nor any PM's from Celtic modeler on my face book.That's the best I can do .
