  1. Great color combo,Krishna! YEARS ago, Hot Rod magazine had a cover car that looked like yours, only it had a blown Big Block Chevy. Same color,wheels an all, Even the same two tones of color! I think it was that years winner of the "America's Most Beautiful Roadster" award at the Oakland Roadster Show that year. NICE build, very cool! ;)
  2. Don, go to Micheals and find a set of Artist's Coloring Pencils. They have a softer lead in them and it sticks to the plastic surfaces better. You can sharpen them REALLY pointy, an then just lightly run them over the raised letters of your speedo, or tach, or watever you want! They come in about 12 to 24 pencils and have a whole LOTTA colors, not just your black, red, blue an stuff. Try em out, they really DO work good! ;)
  3. A POST coupe, ya don't see those very often!!1 Looks GREAT! my brother in law ordered one JUST like that one, but after waiting 6 weeks for it, they sent him a GREEN one. He didn't like the color, so he went and bought a B5 Blue, 69 Charger, hence the begining of my love affair with the B bodied Chargers of 68/70 REAL NICE lookin build Bro, I LIKES it!!!!

    '72 Goat

    VERY nice Build,B. you dun 'er GOOD! GREAT color combination. I actually knew someone who had a 72 GTO in that same combo! Very nice car, and model too!!!
  14. Joe, I have one of those too, I never got rid of it after I got my Opti-Visors. If ya don't have some, it wouldn't be a waste to invest in a pair, they're ALOT easier to use, an that'z tha truffe!!!!
  15. I'm 57, been wearin glasses ALL my life,well since 16, either that or NOT drive! but I been usein an Opti Visor for at least 10 years! They're comfy, are right there when ya need 'em, an your eyes WILL thank you for them. i HIGHLY recommend them. ;)
  16. Guys, I'll vouch ANYDAY for Kevin! He's a GREAT person, a GREAT freind and a MONSTER caster!!! You WILL NOT be dissapointed with ANY of his products! from the 68 RoadRunner tailight lenses, to the 71 Demon he casts, their ALL TOP QUALITY FIRST RATE castings! I've just purchased his 78 LTD and if I hadn't KNOWN WHO cast it, i'da thought it was a styrene kit! He and Jeff Ballard(Motor City Resin Casters) are both members of our model club,DMCC, and we get to see ALOT of their new up comming stuff! Their stuff is JUST as nice as THE BEST resin casters out there! Modelhaus included!! Try 'em you WON'T be sorry, NO WAY!!!!
  17. Danny, if your interested, ONCE a year, we have a Yard Party type of meeting over at one of the older members house. Bob opens his home to us every Sept. and we have the club meeting at his house. Quite a few guys bring their real cars, an just park them in his backyard(He's gotta BIG yard) an we kinda have a mini car show,model club meet! It's ALOT of fun, and I GAYRONTEEEE you'd have a GOOD time! Our NEXT meeting is NEXT Friday, at Bob's. Just let me know if you'd like ta come, and i'll send ya the proper directions!!!! ;)
  18. An this ol boy KNOWS of which he speaketh!
  19. Your off to a good start there James! 68/70 Chargers are my FAV'S! Like Jim's sayin, you gonna open the doors too? Either way ,it's comin out nice so far! looks good!
  20. DTR is a CORPORATION? I just thought that was just a classification. i knew it was a repop from the old AMT line, but SOMEONE ELSE is poppin their old molds, other than Model King? Who are these guys? and are THEY offering any other old molds for the market? It would be kinda interesting to see what some other company would find to sell.
  21. Danny, Your close to us over in Dearborn! We meet the 3rd friday of EVERY month, at 7:00 in the evening at the Dearborn Ice Skateing Center(DISC) on Ford Rd. just East of Mercury Drive. C'mon Up and visit us! we're a pretty cool bunch of guys who like our models!
  22. How crazy was that???? Is that legal? He DID pass him !!!!
  23. Matt, I built Cadillacs for 32 years, an i gotta tell ya bud, you got the LOOK right on! How many stripped out interiors you hafta look at ta catch it so well? I worked body shop for the first 12 years and I still see those bodies in white in my sleep! you got it lookin good Daddy-O! Great job so far!
  24. Pete,Pete,Pete, Do ya ever just build a model that's NOT a work of art? These are miniature masterpeices!. I shouldn't come as such a suprise to me, with the quality of models you build, but I'm amazed just the same. You An John,an Rom, and now that he's back,Raul, build some of the NICEST models I've ever seen. You guys are an insperation to us all. Please just keep on keepin on(as My freind Tito,would say)(Whatevwer happened to him?)with the pics, I love seein the imaginative work that goes into builds like this! Like I said, it's just an inspiration! THANKS
  25. Niko, THAT'S what it's all about,Brother! If the parts missing, you just cut/glue some plastic an make you a NEW one! GREAT job! with your way of thinkin, I gotta feelin your trucks gonna be ALL RIGHT!!!
