    My Meyers Manx

    Neat job and very cool! The redline tires would have been very appropriate back in the day. Nice metalflake also!

    Indy 500

    Thanks for posting these, all nice examples. I live too close to the track and everything is blacked out in our area. I crave anything Indy right now, I went to the race for over 30 years and just can't do it any longer. Tickets I used went from $60 to $185 the last year we attended and the crowd just keeps getting crazier, which was OK when I was young. LOL Oh, and I was there in '67 as a 16 year old kid and saw the "Wooshmobile". I took the extreme ride with Mario last year as a 60th birthday gift from my kids, what a thrill!
  3. Thanks Gregory, I got lost for a minute, sorry about that. Oh, and as far as the SSR, I wish they would have incorporated the design into the S-10 platform at a S-10 price, wouldn't that have sold more? I think it was sort of a retro early '50's style and would have looked good as a stepside. It would have been useful as a real pickup and I might have considered one.
  4. Nice start, it looks good! I have to admit I'm a little jealous, I had one in my stash, opened it up to find a big piece of the body missing through the injection process. I need another body!
  5. Nice job, it looks good! It makes me want to do one of these. Love the '50s!
  6. Maybe I missed the point of this conversation or the definition of "niche". I was thinking in terms of a retro design cue which would include vehicles like the Mustang, T Bird, Camero, Challenger, Prowler, the PT and SSR, and also the Mini Cooper, VW Beetle. However I don't understand how the Fiero fits in unless it's because it was a two seater. I'm confused. Are we talking two seat sports cars like the Viper or pickups, deliveries, or what? These all started as concept vehicles while the market was tested. The only disappointment usually the final market price. The success vehicles are usually priced right and offer options. Oh well, my two cents.
  7. OK have to mention the VW Beetle. My 2000 is still going strong and getting lots of smiles from the kids of all ages. Still not too over priced my only complaint is how VW technology is so protected and so expensive on service. I still have my 1970 for comparison. I remember when you could get a complete tuneup for around twelve dollars.
  8. Nice bunch of trucks! The '60 is my favorite. Do you work for the forest service or are you just a big fan?
  9. What a piece of junk,love it!
  10. All nice builds, I especially like all he '32s. Some more nice work from Australia, I love it! I always dig all the right hand drive cars like the Mustang.
  11. This is way beyond where Davey has ever gone! Way Kool!!!
  12. Nice looking stock build, love it!
  13. I've been watching and it turned out great! I love the hood ornament the best!
  14. It already looks custom in stock form. Looks good lowered! Can't wait to see your paint.
  15. Nice Nova! Welcome, I'm feeling more and more connected to Australia, that's what I love about this forum. Hope to see a lot more.
  16. Wow, nice job, it turned out great! I like the color combo and nice job on the flames.
  17. Congatulations on a successful build. Welcome and hope to see more of your models here.
  18. That is the right blue! Man, I am really likeing this! Those colors look like candy, nice.
  19. Another great wagon! The color pops right off of that!
  20. Neat idea and great display! I love those kind of shows.
  21. Photobucket for me, not much there yet, I just started this year. I tried Fotki first but, couldn't get pictures to post on the forum. At first I was going to say I just look in the cabinet to see if they are all still there. LOL
  22. Actually, I couldn't think of anything better you could do with that kit if that's the AMT version. It's really kind of refreshing to see something of this nature. I love all the paint and details.
  23. There seems to be a theme going with all these wagons lately and I love it! Nice job on yours.
  24. WOW WOW WOW!!!!! Speachless!!!!!!
  25. That's some neat work! Congratulations. Second set of pictures are even better, WOW! That is awesome!!!
