Does look GOOD there Frank, but are ya gonna leave the tubs goin all the way across like that? Those doors did have full window frames in them, you gonna put them back in? It IS comin out NICE!

WoW,J, good question. I wouldn't mind seein it, but you might be right about it bein TOO off topic. Harry?

Mike, Now that's NOT funny! MY wife knows BETTER than to mess with MY MCM issues! Time for you ta pull out the ol beatin stick!!!

Yeah, it IS nice, but I gotta trim the sleeves on it, they keep floppin inta my gruel!!!

Harry, (to quote Bob) "Don't RAT me out!!!!"

Way ta go Greg!!! Paint goes real nice with the wheels! Looks like the talent runs in the family! Keep it up an you'll be given the ol man a run for his money! GREAT job!!!

Nick, I been doin this for OVER 50 years! these are MY opinions, and I AM talking from expirience. If you have seen what I have seen, you MIGHT very well agree.

But of COURSE Jeff, EVERY GOOD model STARTS with a good foundation! I woulda thunk you'da known that, Yeeesh!!!

Darrel, Good to see you back Dude! Kevin, It's nice to see you haven't changed either! Now get that A-bomb OFF my house!!!!! And post some builds!

Ron, just start postin stuff! Questions, Answers, pics what have you! You'll find these are a GREAT bunch of guys an they'll help ya in ANY way they can! We got 'em all, from basement modelers like me, to show winners like Treehugger Dave an Lyle Willits, and everyone in between! You've found THE GREATEST model car forum in the UNIVERSE, so just pull up a chair, pop a cool one and just join in/enjoy!

Ron, be careful with AMT/MPC/Johnny lightning, caz MOST of their stuff is reissued. Revell's 24th scale stuff are reissues,and their 25th stuff is mostly new issue stuff. The model co's are trying to get the most out their money, so that's the reason for all the reissues. Seems like Revell is the only one who is releasing totally NEW stuff! Oh, and welcome back to the hobby!

THANKS Chris, I miss bein able to get some GREAT deals off''n it! Not bein able to get on is makein me even CRAZIER than I already am!!!!

Yeah, well Wolf, I DID say real, so I got it wrong THIS week! But we been kickin some bootie as of late, so's I figger I can be wrong ONCE inna wile! Where's Mike-O?????

It'll be NICE to get this at NON astronomical prices again! Hope those price gougers CHOKE! And whats this about a 90.00 dollar space ship junk? I THOUGHT this was a MODEL CAR forum.

Gregg, I go to the website, put in my username(batoman53),enter my password(............), and i go to log in it tells me my info ISN'T valid. It wants me to RE register. If i TRY to, it tells me SOMEONE ELSE already has MY info registered! YEAH that SOMEONE ELSE is ME!!! Why is it always messin with me? I've been goin thru this since April when I got my new computer. It's gettin old and I'd LIKE to use the site, I've had REALLY good luck with it in the past, but now, it's just gettin to be a hassle to even TRY! Can you hook me up?

Chuck, GREAT job on that lil snapper! Ya know, there WAS a time when ya couldn't GIVE me one of them old JoHan Rambler kits, But last year, at the Deeetroit Auto-Rama, I saw a 62 Rambler American full detail model goin for 200.00 bucks! Not that he got it, but THAT's what he was ASKIN for it! I bought 3 of them on clearance from K-Bee toys just for them smokin wheels/tires in it.I was thinkin of doin something similar, now that I've seen yours I just may! Thanks for the insperation, AND for postin that BAD Rascal!!!

Tom, whats pushin it? If it's a sleeper, maybe you can drop a turbo'd Big Block Chebby in it. Or maybe an LS chebby. As long as she LOOKS stock, the engine can be as wild as your imagination! An you got a purty WILD imagination! I'm gonna be watchin this bad boy! Go for it!

Right here Danner! Yeah Joe, ya gottsa wait a few more hours for the Harry ta finish gettin his beauty sleep! Yeeesh! You wanna join "Da Pack"? We all been up howlin at da moon an barkin all nite,an generally jus bein a nuscance innahood! But we DON'T bite(less'n ya provoke us) an we's a purty good natured ol buncha doggies. If ya wanna hook up, jus be here EVERY Friday moanin.dark an early! Whey my doggies at? Mike-O, Woofie? The Danner an me's waitin on ya, got da Joe brewin, an da Lipton's already hot!!! Wat's it gom be like Harry, you DON'T wanna be PROVOKIN yer pack! ARF,ARF BARRRK!

Yeah THAT'S what I said. The ONLY differences ARE the last 12 inches of BOTH cars. EVERYTHING ELSE on the body is the same. Other than trim changes, ALL the body panels(OTHER THAN THAT LAST 12 INCHES) are the same. The front fenders,doors, hood, etc. are the same. I was there. I KNOW.If you wanna get technical the rear quarter panels, taillamp panel,and rear bumper are the only major differences. If someone can see any other differences in 25th scale, they got DAM good eyes. I was just bein literal in my reply.

As usual Lyle, it's lookin good even without paint! Looks like it'll look SMOOOTH when she's done! I like the grille, looks kinda Packard-ish!

OOOO,Chuck, I'd bet ol Jethro would LOVE ta drive either one of them Jalopy's!!!

Ya do gotta point there Chuck. If you can adapt the rear of the 67 to the 66 it would be a simple graft on. Check it out Brent, it MIGHT be just that simple! You'd STILL need the proper seats to make it into a 67, but body wise, the only BIG difference IS the rear end treatment. I'm pretty sure the 67 had chrome on the rockers too.

Brent, THAT'S the way to go bro! just use the chassis from the 66,BUT you'll have to remove the engine compartment from the 66 and install it into the 67. The interior from the 66 WILL fit into the 67,and vise/versa. This is probably the best route to go. It'll make for a nice 67, BUT you WILL hafta get the PROPER 67 seats from the resin caster aftermarket.

I was 215 in Nov of last year, saw my Dr, and he told me I hadta loose weight caz I was borderline diabetic, saw him again in Feb of this year, I was 185, an all he said was to loose MORE weight!!! He DIN'T say JACK about the 30 lbs I LOST IN 4 months and said I DIDN't need any meds for diabetes! That was a REAL ego buster! hell, I guess I really didn't NEED ta loose 30 frickin pounds!!! Still at 185,an I'm lookin for a NEW Dr.!

Jeff, have you finished it? It's lookin GOOOOD so far bro, It'll be KILLER ta see it all ready to go! I gotta feelin this'n 'll be a REAL good mover!!! Ya know that bed DOES look ALOT like a Bronco Bed!(hint,hint!)
