Got an application for the free 2012 season Fishing license myself! don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a while when the weather warms up! :lol:

BUMP! LOOKING FOR MORE INFO TO ADD!

haha!.GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION! your thinking of the thread i started way back when so when you guys have an question of what kit has what?...you can be directed to that link! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48216 since you have one ...is there any way you can help me set one up as well ...and dont worry guys its for something COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC !

ok got another coat of white on the fenders ...not bad...but could be better... ill have the first coat of blue on tomarow first thing in the morning...then after morning chores ill get another coat on and see if it will need another coat...then i start with the black that afternoon...and hopefully ill start reassembling it tomarow night and hopefully finish it up early friday ...and give it back saturday morning before i leave for Christmas happenings at my mothers! ALOT TO DO AND 2 DAYS TO DO IT! you think i can get it done by saturday morning?

QUITE TALKING AND START ACTING!...meaning....START BUILDING!

they will probably end up telling you to take it back and get an exchange on it ...pending on whether the store will accept...if not you will probably have to buy another kit

it looks like your missing parts then?

more progress pics to come later but....does anyone know how the bumper chrome spray paint is chrome wise..and what about that krylon chrome paint???...pics would help a bunch?

that happened to me one time in my Earnhardt kits and i called em up and asked and they said look closer we didnt chrome some of them...so you may want to take a second look in there and find the parts? its funny but it happens!

Count me in! ... im going to attempt my truck that im going to buy anyways!....now where can i find the resin ext cab conversion cab?...mmmmmmm

MERRY CHRISTMAS ! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'M NOT POLITICALLY RIGHT!... I'M HISTORICALLY CORRECT !

Wow....im surprised no one mentions this magizine....CARS & PARTS... that is some great reading material and full of info! i also pick up a mag if i see it that deals with old tractors and farm machinery and such! stuff like that! for those who say SAE ....YOU GUYS ARE TRAITORS! :lol:

I DON'T HAVE ONE IS A PROBLEM! :lol:
