Hi Tom, If it would be any help to you, I have some old FORD dealer spec books with lots of drawings and data on the W series trucks. Please, PM me with your contact information so we can speak directly if you would like too. THANKS John....

THANKS..... For the memories Marty, from one Michigander to another. You didn't stay in Detroit to long, but at least you left us with a small part of HOLLYWOOD in Mich. Well, "PETE", now that your up there with the fluffy clouds, please tell "SGT. McDONALD " and officer "WELLS" we said hello. REST IN PEACE, Sir MARTIN, and THANKS again....... "ONE-ADAM-12 CLEAR"..............

GREETINGS builders, Head on over to your local store, a select group of kits are on sale. Found an AMT C-600 pepsi delivery truck for only $ 23 bucks (reg. $ 38) check'em out. At least that's what is going on here in Michigan. ....... GOOD LUCK ....

Hi GREG, Yes this is correct, I checked my '72 Dodge pick up brochure and all beds are painted the same solid body color all the way.

PLEASE, Join us on sunday October 26th from 8:30 a.m. till 1:30 p:m at players bingo hall in the atlas plaza, located at 7160 highland rd. Waterford, MI for another toy show and model contest. Stop in and share a great day with us!! .

GREETINGS builders, GLUE; what product could I use to de-bond old glue ?, just picked up a box of old glue bomb kits that still can be re-built. Something that would not harm the old plastic. AIR COMPRESSOR; what one is better ? the small metal one painted blue by paasche #D 500 -or- the mini air one in clear blue plastic by testors ? Your comments please, THANKS........ John

As being a builder of emergency apparatus, I see in my future.....a new squad box ambulance, quick attack mini-pumper, walk around rescue, or how about a brush/grass fire rig.... but let's not stop there... we can also build a wrecker too!!! but wait there's more...take the open road camper, cut the old front / rear clips off, scratchbuild some newer extensions... and presto!!! a brand new class C motorhome.... GOTTA get at least two of these kits.

GREETINGS truck builders, I just picked up the older REVELL (ITALERI) Ford aero-max 120 big rig, how well does this go together ? any problems with assembly I should know about. Also have the ITALERI heavy tanker (BP gas) don't know if we would see that six wheel set up here in america, if I wanted to change that one, what suspension could I replace that one with. Comments and building tips always welcome.... THANKS John

GREETINGS, fellow builders, As I'am revamping my hobbyroom, I've placed WHITE pegboard on some walls and also on the walls around the workbench to reflect lighting better. LIGHTING; What do you like?, the hum and buzz of CFL bulbs or the LED ones that cost more, what gives more light. WORKBENCH; On the bench top, I placed a sheet of white paper and over layed that with a sheet of plexi-glass. Good choice or bad for the plexi ??. The bench will also have more lighting overhead. PEGBOARD; On walls now, so that I can hang parts, tools, clipboards etc, and I can stop digging through endless boxes of stuff to find what I need. Did I do good ?, what's your take on this, any comments are always welcomed if there's room for more improvment. THANKS!! John

GREETINGS builders, How could I update the dukes dodge monaco into a plymouth fury??, and what kind of wheels and rims need to be used to make this more of a correct police pursuit package. I don't like those chunky tires in the kit. THANKS...... John

Hello fellow builders, I picked up the second issue pete 359 T-500 (brown rig on box) still sealed for only $40 bucks at one of the local michigan antique fairs, ya`think I did good?,,, and just for fun , it still had the original price sticker of $3.98 stuck on it, boy, those were the days!!!.

CHRIS, just to let you know... I`ve tried your links and other hobby sites that have a link to the SFH... still the same `ol thing the 404 error, anti-virus,page not found etc.. `cause I`am fairly new to the internet, don`t know all the short cuts around this yet. So if you or anyone else can help again, please reply to me here. THANKS.... John

Does anyone know what is up with the site??, my anti-virus kicks up and says there are to many trogans that has infected it. And I can no longer access this what so ever, so I`am missing all the good stuff. Did it go down?, is it being worked on?. I know some of you here on the MCM site are also on the SFH too. Any comments would be great!!. THANKS...... John

Do any of you here use testors clear parts cement??? does this stuff have a good hold/firm bond....or does everything fall off later after it dries??? just wanted to know.....THANKS

Were on the move, beacuse many of you could not find us at 59-west. We are going to try this new location, BAKERS OF MILFORD at 2025 south milford road. Bakers is located off of I-96 (exit 155,milford) we are directly across from the DAIRY QUEEN/KENSINGTON PARK entrance. So, if you would please join us on Sunday,FEB.12th. from 8:30 am till 1:30 pm once again for our show/contest. THANK YOU for your support as always.......JOHN

GREETINGS fellow builders, went to the L.H.S. today to pick up some paint, and oh my goodness, can you belive this...TESTORS 3oz. regular and model master spray is $ 6.50 a can, 1/2 oz. model master bottles is $ 4.00 and regular 1/4 oz. bottles is $ 2.00. Not only did testors do this, so did all the rest of the companies who supply us with our products. Just wanted to let all of you know so that there is no suffering of "sticker shock" when you arrive. So does this mean that I`am going to toss out my kits and stop building ??? NO, but it pinches the `ol hobby dollar a lot more.

Hello Gary, go to italeri.com and check there website , they list some trailers there but the steer trailer is not on it. The reefer they list is #3813 and an American cargo trailer is #3831. GOOD LUCK with the model ....from John

Hi Paul, I`ve spoken to some of the vendors and a few patrons of the show, who would like to see it be open for another hour until 2 p.m. for more selling time and also more time to enter the model contest. Those of you who read this post, and would like to see this happen, please reply back to me and I will forward the results to show promotions for a possible change in time. THANKS and I will see all of you at the show....John (AMT4EVR).

Would you please join us again for another toy show/model contest, back at our new location in Highland, MI at 59-WEST in the SAVE-A-LOT/CVS plaza. On sunday october 23rd. 2011 from 8:30 am till 1:00 pm. And THANKS too all of you who came back and gave us the support and fellowship after a long five year break. See you soon!! THANKS AGAIN from John a.k.a AMT4EVR

WOW... I see flashing lights, a siren or two, oh yeah, don`t forget the stretcher, medical cabinets and throw in two or four spotlights and the words... AMBULANCE...RESCUE SQUAD...FIRST AID UNIT... and your all set. GREAT JOB !!!

Using the Dodge L-700 or Ford C-600, I would like to make these more heavy duty by adding a second set of rear duals, how do I go about doing this, and would I need to add a bigger engine to the trucks for more power. Your comments please. THANKS

The new charger police cars are here, and this is my on review. INSTRUCTIONS- 11pgs., with photo layout of parts and X` on parts not used, some extras for your spare bin. ENGINE- you`ll be busy here, It`s a multi-parts build-up with good detail. FRAME- also the same, another multi-build with much added detail parts. Watch out for those TIRES- looks like it`s a "pin and snap" assembly over the axel stubs, take care not to break them. INTERIOR- pretty much strait foward with front bucket seats and door panel detail. EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT- center mount control panel with laptop, full center divider panel, spotlights, push bumper with warning lights and eight lightbars, CODE 3/javelin,MX 7000 and 360 degree. FEDERAL/ arjent. TOMAR/ "the blade". WHELEN/ edge ultra,patroit LED. VECTOR/ V-bar this V is smaller than the one in the crown vic. BOX ART states car bodys and lightbars are pre-painted, however mine are not, just white plastic and clear bars. All eight lightbars are included in each version of this kit. I paid $ 17.00 each for these kits, well worth the price just for the lightbars. With all the multi-extras, these kits will keep you building for the next several weeks. Well builders, that`s my comments, so maybe you`ll pick up one or two or ...... HAPPY MODELING to all .

We have moved from the old local of clintondale high school to our new location at 59-WEST. Were in the CVS/Save-A-Lot plaza. Westbound M-59, between Milford Rd. and Livingston Rd., TOY SHOW/MODEL CONTEST. Sunday February 13th,2011. Show hours 8:30 AM- 1:00 PM. ADM. $4.00 Tell all your best buddy's and bring them with you. Yes, were back after a long break. And until then, HAPPY MODELING !!!

GREETINGS once again fellow modelers, If you remember the parts pack of a few years ago of the old MPC OPEN ROAD camper and RACERS WEDGE hauler like I do, how does this sound ??, a parts pack of the old MPC MINI-PUMPER/WRECKER BED of those kits that were done in the sixty`s or so. I sent ROUND 2 AN e-mail about this idea, but remember, I`am only one voice in this, so if any of you out there think this is a good shot at another parts pack could you give me a hand and drop ROUND 2 a note saying that you would like to see them back as a kit pack. And maybe,just maybe, they will think about it and put that idea on the table. Let me know what you think, and I`ll check back with you in a few days. So until then.... HAPPY MODELING, from AMT4EVR THANKS.
