Elmira hey. Not that far from here. Maybe a hour at most! Cool. Good luck on the new venture of work. If I can get a better car somewheres and the main thing, better on gas, hopefully I could travel and find a job. Some day soon maybe? I look forward to any updates on this beast!

Dress For Success!
Smart-Resins replied to beefheart22's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I do not know about anyone else here, but when I go out, I expect to be treated with respect! I do not give a darn how I am dressed. I treat others with respect. I expect to be treated with respect. I esp. exspect to be treated with respect from anyone younger then myself. There is nothing I hate more then being waited on by some teenager who snobs the heck out of me! I have busted my butt my whole life and have worked circles around most people to honestly earn my dollar! To be snubbed by some snob teenager really disturbs me! That is called lack of respect, something I see everywheres! I mean everwheres including church! I also hate being cut off, pushed, bumped into and stepped on. Or even someone reaching out and grabbing something I am already reaching out to grab! Or someone reaching across infront of me! I wait my turn. If someone is in the way, I polightly wait. If it takes a little while, I polightly ask them to excuse me! I let others go before me. It is called common decency. Also roadhawg, I do wish to apologize even though my opinion stands firm. I should have worded it as you come across as a snob to me! I should not judge that you are! The statement about the anti-christianity I whole hardily agree with as well here! The post about someone taking offense to that wich I now do not see(?) makes me feel as though perhaps you also lack the decency and respect and ideaology that wich this nation was founded on? Just the way you come across. Now before I get into things here and get dragged into a debatical wich is where I can see this heading into soon, I will say I hope everyone has better experiances in the future and I hope that person at the hobby shop figures out how to treat thier customers. Thanks. Now I take my leave of absence. -
That is very cool! Period perfect style. I dig the color. Great job.

Dress For Success!
Smart-Resins replied to beefheart22's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I will add my two cents quickly here. First, roadhawg sounds like a snob! I have seen garage owners who make well over $100,000 a year wear very crappy clothes to work. Geeze, I wonder why? I would still desire to treat the person with respect. In a day and age apparently long gone in this American nation wich is turning into something other then for wich it stands, it was appropriate to adress every one with respect irregardless to thier social standings or what one assumed to be thier social standngs!The people lived with a certain Christian ideaology. Wether they were Christians or NOT. These things were just being respectfull and decent towards everyone! You also treated people who were potential buyers with respect as you needed that money! I say first, if that guy is just a worker, speak with the owner. If the guy as I read, actually runs the place now, I would certainly take my business elswheres! Second, I absolutly do not care how my attire is when I am out shopping. If I have been out scrapping all day or cutting down trees or gardening for my customers, yeah I am going to look like total ######. But if the store is on the way home and I have the money and desire to spend it, I WILL STOP! I am not going to drive a hour to get home, put on dress slacks and a dress shirt then go back to the store. What kind of farse ###### is that when you HAVE TO IMPRESS others? Thats when your social standing, money and pride have taken over your whole nature! I do not need to impress anyone other then my spouse and the one above.This story is one more example why the small LHS are closeing and the online hobby shops are excelling! -
Gadzooks that looks great! I love it. actually, the chrome issue, theres only maybe three items that may not have been chrome in real life anyways and thats the ports, the scoop and the zoomies. But, I have seen them on the track anyways, so I find fault with w-409's statement anyways! Esp. when this is a concept car and as Chris had said, as if it was a show car that ran at the track. There were many of them in the day! How about the munsters coach or casket for beginners. Many of the wheel standers like the Jolly Roger(?) coach etc. So I do view that is very realistic and a supurb looking job! Way to go!

That is very cool! Nice colors. Looks great! Nice job.

Project Willys Panel
Smart-Resins replied to Smart-Resins's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
WOW. I was hopeing for at least one person to be interested in this! No one? WOW. GrandpaMCgurk, what do I do now? I can always finish it, but that is not what this was sent to me for! Anyone wanna jump in on this? -
I have done this two years in a row now where I ask for donations of preferably snap kits either new in sealed box or new in open box. Step one glue kits are alright as well. Last year we had about a dozen given to us and they all went to good homes and we had a blast having a modeling session where I got a chance to work individually with all kids to show them how to put them together and peak their interests in the hobby. I had two come back later and ask for another model which I did right out of my tiny collection. What a great feeling it was to give these kids a model and to see their eyes just light up and sparkle as they put them together and played with them when they got done! There are very few feelings better then this! What better way to know that you can touch someones life in our hobby which seems to be slowing all of the time as kids give way to playing game boxes and computers. I feel great to know that I can impact a child's life and show them that there is something other then game machines to enjoy and to even possibly spark a love life of cars! So again this year, I am asking for any help in this operation. Whether it is sending me a kit or two, or sending me funds to get kits with as one person had done last year! I am involved with a larger church this year, and still active in Scouts, so trust me when I say I could put them to use. In all honesty, if I got 60, I could put them to use! I don't know about any more then that? LOL. But just saying, any and all that you guys want to help out with, I can find a good home for! So lets see what ya got. Just PM me what ya got and let me know when its shipped so I can watch for it. Thanks. Jody

Some time ago, Grandpa Mcgurk from TDR Innovations sent me a willys panel for a group build. When I stripped it, the putty on the body disolved and the body litterally fell to pieces! Kinda like me LOL. I used a new rear end to closely replicate it again. It has since sat there on my shelf. My promise was to make sure it got finished and a few people got involved. A few people had voiced interest, then it all like disappeared? I like to think of myself as a man of my word. So since models have basically all gone into boxes waiting hopefully for our move into the new home sometime this century, I have decided its time to see who else will want to work on it for a while before it gets all completely forgotten about! I have the frame and some other parts for it. Concept was for different people to work on it and see what comes out of it! In the end something special is to heppen to the model. Again, this was something that was Grandpa's idea and I wish to keep the idea going as promised.Sorta like the project snowball. But hopefully with better results. So who wants the next turn on it wether its massaging the body, building a motor, doing the interior, chassis whatever. Thanks. Jody
