  1. Jessie, PLEASE do NOT take this the wrong way, but that LOOKS like it's the Talledega version of the AMT/ERTL 69 Torino. That front end is supposed to be blended in with putty. It fits FLUSH with the front fenders. If you just blend it into the fenders with some putty or body filler, it'll look ALOT better, as it's supposed to. You show alot of potential, so this is just some creative critism and advice. Just keep on goin like you are, and you'll be ok. (But that front end really should be blended into the front fenders)
  2. Memorial Day is for those WHO DIDN'T come home. Those of us who DID were just doing our jobs.Those who DIDN'T come home are the HEROES! Those of us who DID, honor THEM. I NEVER thought of myself as a hero, and neither did the guys i served with, we're just like anyone else, except we served. Those young fellas out there now DON'T consider themselves anything more than a LOYAL citizen and an AMERICAN. Memorial Day IS NOT for US, but for our BROTHERS who are NO LONGER HERE with us. THEY are the TRUE AMERICAN HERO'S and WE, the living should NEVER forget that!!!!! Semper Fi!!!!!!! God Bless America, and ALL her people!!!
  3. Jon, Is that a TKM model? It looks like it's SOLID resin.
  4. Dam! Now there ain't NO reason to like Fords!
  5. John, You couldn't MODEL it for us?(Get it? MODEL it??? Nyuk,Nyuk,Nyuk!!!) Really, a nice picture of it could help sell some.
  6. Matt, Ronnie, those aren't Cragars, they look more like American's. Really Like the color on your Riv! Nice job!
  7. NICE job Matt. I like the body side mouldings! Perfect touch!

  9. Looks good Chuck, is it over at the Cave? Never EVER liked those cars, ever since the days that Clark Kent drove around in one, but YOUR lil car sure does change things! It looks good to me as it is. Came out GREAT!
  10. Me 3!!!!!! I'd take a coupla sets!!!!
  11. That's funny Jim, cas I DID TOO! Yer right though, he NEVER got back with me, either!
  12. Well Jeffer, it DO look pretty good on ya, BUT i think it would look even BETTER on ME!!!! REALLY nice car!
  13. Your MORE than welcomed Pat. You WERE missed! Jeff was wantin to see how your Effie came out! Well, we ALL were, to be honest with ya! If you can, ya think you can bring that rascal ta next months meetin so's ya can show it off? REMEMBER, it's on the 11th, the SECOND Friday of June.
  14. Shox, if you ain't never seen Bill build before, you are DEFINATELY in for a treat! He's NOT called Mr. Obssesive for nuthin!!! Imp, I got Eric's E-Mail addy for ya if you still need it, it's eric @ ppvintagekits.com He's REALLY a COOL guy ta deal with, and you WILL NOT be dissapointed, his work is FIRST rate! Hope this helps.
  15. Dave, unless it's about a murder, kwami, or martha conyers,Detroit news stations don't really give a poo about the common person here in Deeetroit! I'll look for it in this mornin's Sunday Free Press, maybe I can find it there an see what happened. Still a shame though, no matter how ya look at it.
  16. Din't hear about this on the news,Jeff. You mean someone let somebody drive their car, an that someone wrecked it???? Sorry bout the loss of life, but at 20 years old, them kids DIDN'T know what kinda power one of those cars put out! If he didn't have a good suspension and brakes, it was an accident jus waitin ta happen. Todays kids DON'T understand just how FAST a musclecar can get outta control . Their too used to all the Hi tech stuff cars do NOWADAYS, and don't understand one of OUR cars can kill ya pretty quick if ya don't treat it right, an respect the power under that right foot!!! Sorry to hear about that,it IS a shame.
  17. Jeff, watever it is, it sure LOOKS GOOD!!! I'd buy one!
  18. VEERRRRYYYYY NICE job! The concept, execution, and paint are FIRST RATE! Just a REAL GOOD lookin model! A real one would be tha cat's a$$!!!! GREAT build!!!!!!
  19. Welcome Chris! You sure came to the right place if ya want answers, caz SOMEONE here'll know it! We got ALL kindsa modelers who will be more than happy to help you out! Just ask!!!
  20. Probly matches MORE trucks out there than not! It's lookin GREAT so far, Jus keep on truckin,Bro!!!!
  21. Not sure, Ed. All I know is SOMEBODY gonna get cut!!!!
  22. Guy's while talkin with Jeff an Kevin last nite at our club meeting, they were tellin me that Eric(Porky) might just stop casting CAR bodies, caz he's not sellin many of them, and he might just go over to doin Trucks (Semi's) We CAN'T let that happen! Anyone notice what the price of a 64 Cutlass or 64 Falcon goes for on the Bay?? We can't let QUALITY castings like these just fall by the wayside just because no one wants ta pay for the resin kits! C'mon guys, they're REALLY nice, Affordable(VERY) and practically just FALL together. If ya wanna go nuts like Bill, the base is there, just watch Bill's build up. But if yer lazy like me, these kits are HARD ta beat for the price! Eric went thru ALOT of hassle to get them for us so the least we can do is to buy one, or two, ta keep him doin new ones. I'd hate to lose such a GREAT car caster to the trucker guys! These kits are REALLY nice!!! Try one I GAYRONTEE you'll like it, and be happy, an ya might even get ANOTHER one fer your ol Ma!!! ( and SHE'LL tell ya wat i nice kit it is!!!!)
  23. Well, unfortunately, our official club photog, Pat Redmon didn't get a chance to make it to last nights meeting, so I'll just tell all our members that next months meeting, June, is on the 11th of the month, due to the fact that there's a Barmitzvah or Brisk or somethin happinin at the DISC that forces us to change dates. Next DMCC meet is June 11th, the SECOND friday of the month, NOT the 3rd. If you show up then, watch out for the scalpels!!!!!!
