I picked up a nice set of Spyders for my Renyolds Buick project off of Ebay. Forward Resin has them i different types. Only problem is the center cap is not raised like a normal spyder should. Tim

I am looking for a source for a set of rally II Pontiac wheels for a factory build I am looking to finish. I had a set but lost two. BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH if I can remember where I got them. All I know is that they are resin from a company out of Tennessee. IIRC, I got a few correct Pontiac parts from the same caster, Correct size bumper, correct 71 GTO seats, correct front valance w/ amber light covers. The wheels where a nice casting with the Pontiac arrow head on the center cap. So does this company sound familiar to anyone and is it still around. Or is there another source for the Pontiac Rally II wheels. Tim

It was a good show. I am planning on attending next year. Tim

I picked up a set of modern magnum 500 rims from fast forward resin. Now I need tires for these rims. Looking for a source for tires for these rims. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Tim

I will take at least a crown vic maybe several depending on cost. Tim

Me, hope to have it done by show time. Tim

I have done a web search with no luck. Does anyone have any info on this show. I saw info on it once. it is OCT 2? in Belleview, (Omaha) NE. Can anyone post up the info or link to the info. Thanks Tim

Haven't done much on the turbine semi. With the nice weather we are having I try to get out an work on my 1:1 scale projects. Since I can't in the colder weather no garage. Tim

Nice

Yeah, maybe I'll be able to hit the work bench tonight. but who knows . Tim

Lance, I am up here in Laramie, WY. If you here of any other shows in CO. please post them. I would love to attend. Tim

Rob, you did build a Pacer wagon, You have to be a big boy to take the flack. LOL To all, Including Rob. All the work and entries have been great. I myself have been at the bench maybe 4 hours in the past 3 months. The nice weather has been calling my name. Wasn't even working on the Sleeperball project. But the 70 Rallye 350 for my friend. Tim

I think I use a #75 for my plug wires. Tim

MMMM let me see, Hot Wheels, but lately just the ones I think look cool. Any Buick Hot Wheel especialy, or other 1/87th Buick. Parts for my 1:1 scale 71 Buick Sportwagon. Tim

Any thoughts of forming a club, there have been 54 views to this thread. post up where on the front range you are from. Maybe we can get something going. Tim

While I have not had any sucess using brake fluid. I have had good luck with both Easy Off( standard stuff) and Pine Sol. While the easy Off has the nasty smell. Pine Sol has the pine smell which is better, IMO. Tim

I am making progress on one using a viper V-10 as a base, a modded 4.6 intake and cam covers. Tim

What I would like to see. A 71-72 Buick GS. A 73-74 Buick Gran Sport, a 75 Buick Century Pace car (Fred cady produced the decals but no one makes the car) Kits that could use a re-model( no pun) is the MPC 70 and 72 GTOs. Tim

Shawn, have you found the Black Hill Scale modelers. They have an annual show in Rapid. they just moved the dates this year from Feb to April. A great bunch of people. if you like I can get you some contact info. I am a former member and try to make there show when the weather lets me. Tim

Well I am fromerly of MI. was a member of the Southeast Michigan Modelers ( 93-95) don't know of they are still around. grew up in Redford graduated Redford Union in 83, Walled Lake, and Detroit (moved in 1970) Returned from 9 years in the service in 92. couldn't stand all the people and build up. left in 95 never looked back. ONLY thing I miss is the almost daily car shows in the summer, and the model clubs and events. Tim

While all of us have had orange peal. I have found that you need to put the paint on heavy enough that it flattens out but light enough that is doesn't run. It is a fine line I learned. it took me a while to learn it. I was always going to light. I usually warm my cans up under hot tap water. I will run the can then shake it, repeating till the can remains warm when shaken. it ups the pressure and causes the paint to flow better. Tim

who do I contact to notifiy of a dealer no longer around? Laramie Hobby center is gone, closed about 4 years ago. but may reopen when the economy gets better. I know the owners. Tim

I have used pine-sol with success. the old very-pine wal-mart used to sell worked equaly well. Tim

I have gotten mine mostly from Ebay. Since we have no local shops with on 80+ miles. Tim

Station wagons, Wagons, Long roofs, 79-91 Crown Vic/ Grand Marquis, 61 Buick Bubbletop, any 65-74 Buick Gran Sport, 69-71 Plymouth fury. all in 1/25 scale. 71 Buick Sportwagon so I can replicate my 1:1 scale. Tim
