that's what i was affraid of. thank you fellas

not another one can someboby tell me a clearcoat that is compatable with Alclad? tried Dupli-Color can stuff and it is way too strong. turned it kind of a gunmetal grey. nice looking effect but not the one i'm going for. nearest hobby shop is in Memphis and i won't go down there till this weekend. thanks, Jim

let's be real here guys. we are headed toward the end of modeling as we know it. just think about it for a minute. everything is going electric, our government is slowly weaning us off gasoline and making the car companies push these so-called cars on us. what started model cars in the first place? the car companies and Americas love for the automobile, right? what about racing? Dragracing, Nascar, Le-Mans and, even boat racing have fueled our passion to build what we like to build. Now, with fuel prices skyrocketing, racing companies are going to get to where they can't afford to back a dragster or a circletrack car so, there goes the models for our model cars, boats and what have you. i'm sorry but there is no way i could support a dragster with a big battery in the engine bay, with a 671 blower strapped to it and them tell me it's Supercharged also, on down the road, the Cuda, Mustang and Vette models (just some of the staples of the model world) will be discontinued and everyone will not be able to afford to pay $200 bucks for a kit because we will be paying for the national debt just the truth in my opinion. thanks guys. Jim

well i guess i'll try the Hendrix truck. just put my order in. yeah, i thought Drag City used to have a 60 model but didn't see it anymore. gonna make a 58 model out of it. shouldn't be too hard.

love your 64! they have 1 on Ebay right now. 'Buy It Now' is $61,000. same color.

Gotta prayer here for ya!

yeah, i think he was just refering to the kit being a unibody 1 piece kit. you are right about the years did the uni-body. my dad had a 1958 F-100 and that's what i'm looking to build, with shortbed a 223 6-cylinder from Kitchen Table Resins.

Ben, there are a lot of great suggestions here. whatever name you pick, whether ours or your own, be sure and post what you pick. Jim

here is one a buddy of mine drew up. he wants to know what you guys think.

i know this is corny but since u live in Texas, how about: Alamo Lightning: or 10 Gallon Bowtie: Cheva-Nator: 72 Sca-Doo: just thinking out loud

there is a HobbyTown in east Memphis off of I-40 and Germantown Rd. look for Bestbuy across from the Wolfechase Mall. Hobbytown is in the same parking lot behind the I-Hop. Then, there is a Michaels off the same exit. soon as u exit toward Wolfechase, take the first left toward Joe's Crabshack. Michaels is before the Crabshack. Hope this helps.

here is the link that Mr. Steve was talking about. http://www.resinrealm.net/Star/HendrixGallery/HendrixAll.html

They are some good trucks. Wish I still had this one too.

I've been out of modeling too long. Probably could've picked an easier project to get back into it. This is a model of a truck special ordered by my dad in 1978. Going to be midnight blue. Really nothing special. Will have a 302 out of the Revell 3 window coupe kit, shortbed and grille from Blue Oval Resin. Been alot of work to get everything to this stage. Got just a little more bodywork and then primer. Don't be too hard on me fellas.

great job on a classic!!! nice clean build.

sorry. what i meant was, i wish it wasn't a unibody kit. boy, the Moon-Eyes truck in the other thread is looking great.

yeah, it's kinda-sorta a unibody kit. just found Resin Realm makes one. the 1960 kit, that is.

looks like i'm gonna have to get me one of those Grabber Maverick thingies lol. really, they r a great looking piece going by the pic they have on Facebook. people r really bragging on them also.

i think i remember seeing the test shot of that. i might be interested in one of those myself.

Mr. George, are they currently selling the 1960 kit? if so, i haven't seen it listed.

well, Hendrix makes one and Modelhaus has a 1957 kit. and someone else is making a 60 but i can't remember who.

looking to get one and was wondering if anyone has built one? if so who do you think makes the best one? thanks Jim

yep, gotta get me one of those engines. gotta Big Duece just screaming for one. very nice stuff!!!

got 16 of 19. that's not too bad i hope. cool game.
