Nice thing about startin with a promo, that plastics harder than regular styrene an can take a few tumbles better without crackin!!! Great Build, it really looks GOOD!!!!

Dave, this place is like home to me, these guys here are like my brothers, If you offend one of them you offend me. You'd be surprised at how thick my skin is and what I've been thru, and when I'm loyal to someone or thing, I'm loyal to a fault. Gregg an Harry go thru alot to give us this place, and it does ruffle my feathers when it's not appericiated. Sorry to have gotten so bent outta shape, but Gregg and Harry are my freinds,and I'd NEVER refer to them as nazi's jokeingly or not. I appologize, and yes, it would be REAL nice if the newbs would READ the rules BEFORE they join and FOLLOW them.

Dave, web "NAZI's" got NOTHING to do with it. It's THE RULES. I'm surprised you would refer to us that take the time to follow them as NAZI'S! That's realy NO way to refer to your forum freinds. I wouldn't refer to YOU that way, and I dON'T think many of us would. It's not appericiated.

Drew, this might sound kinda dumb, but if you take a lid from a testors small can of spray paint, cut it in half, you'll get 2 nice rounded wheel houses. Then just trim them to the width you need. May not be FACTORY correct but at least you can size them to the size tire your runnin.

Resin? RESIN??? Jurg, my man, your just goin CRAZY!!!! This is gonna be GOOD Brother! i CAN'T wait ta see how you do THIS bad boy up!!!! I'm gonna send ya a PM on Flintstone, He's gotta LOT of COOL stuff!!!

Nick, those cars (57,58,59,60 )are cab on chassis. that means they were two seperate units. You can paint a little over spray on the VERY EDGES of the underside, but not like the 60 an up cars. You paint the frames on those cars a nice semi gloss bkack an your good ta go! Maybe one of the other guys can get more into detail on it, but basicly that it.

Yeah, I can understand that. As an everyday driver,ya'd hafta think about stuff like that. Actually DOES make it easier for everyday use. But wat the heck, even a LITTLE chop wouldn'ta hurt!

NOW ya go an cast one AFTER I paid a HUNNERT BUCKS for one! YEEESH! I just CAN'T win!!!! Let me know when it's ready, I might want another one! Frazza grazza flarple mufflp!!!!

Yeah John, but think o' alla the time it saves da coynel from havin ta pluck them rascals!!!! I'll take mine ORIGINAL recipe please!!!

Alan, you rascal you, ya beat me to YOU! I was gonna recommend ya to him! You DON'T need to worry Mike, Alan's one of the BEST out there! If ANYBODY can do ya right, Alan CAN!!! Go for it Dude!, You WON'T be sorry!

Nope, Steve, that model wasn't ever popped in plastic. I got anoriginal 66, and a resin 68, but no 67. at least not till I get one a them bad boys! GREAT to see one, those late 60's Buicks WERE fast!!!

Ta be HONEST wif ya Bill, YOU ain't got too bad a way o'thinkin!!!!

Jesse, I couldn't agree with you more! This forum has introduced me to MORE great people than I've EVER met in the hobby! It even got me into a CLUB! The guys here are GREAT! EVERYone has a GREAT attitude, and I'd NEVER have met guys like Gregg, Bill Geary,Mr.BIGGS,Santiago(Mr.1/16th) an the rest of the bunch without it. I'm here everyday, just to see what'll come up next! I try to be as helpful as I can, just to show my appericiation for it. I mean, WHERE ELSE could I have mey guys like these? YOU included? I'm just a lowly ol basement builder, but beein able to share ideas,and ask questions of some of THE BEST scratch builders in the WORLD (YOU Treehugger), guys who run their OWN buisnesses,(Andy,Jeffb)Give me advice, This place really does ROCK! I LOVE this place, it's the BEST thing that's happened to me in MY veiw, for MY hobby that I've ever experienced! Like I said, I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!

Juergen, There ya go kidd-o, ANOTHER GREAT build!!! I really do look forward to seeing what comes off your bench next, they ALL come out so well.You sure got the knack Daddy-O. ya'd think you lived in HERE, the way you build, not in Austria! Your builds are SO downright American that you'd be GLAD to see these rides in "Anytown" U.S.A.! This just goes to show that Hot Rods AREN'T JUST an American thing!ANOTHER GREAT build Brother, You da Mook!!!!

Interesting story Mike, but, even as nice as it came out, I STILL woulda chopped the roof on that rascal!!!

Capt'n the ONLY thing bothrin me is da wheelarch inna back. Couldja fill it in or sumpthin? It doos interfeares with the flowin lines ob it ,in MY opinion. It would look like a LIMO pickem up! But yas do gots ya sompthin goin there Daddy-O. DON'T let the skwirril & Co. find out though, they MIGHT EAT it!!!!

Hey, diffrent strokes for diffrent folks! Guys build their kits how it's easiest for THEM! You do it your way they do it theirs. Personally I'd LOVE to hack up a kit like the way Bob does!

How did it fight you all the way? Everthing I've heard about it, it's supposed to be a nice kit. Where were the trouble spots for you? It sure LOOKS nice, your doin a GREAT job, so far. It LOOKS like it'll be a REAL nice build for ya!

Holy Shamoly Guys, Sorry I'm so LATE, But Heck The Harry Ain't even here yet???? Waz up wif dat??? Ok RoM Kahuna, where you bees? Ya gotcha a whole passle a junkies jus awaitin on ya! (ain't it feel GOOD ta be wanted?) Hit us Harry, HIT US!!!!!!!

Oh Yes, I DO remember them well! It was a direct drive unit geared directly to the rear pinion. There was a lil Volksie bug outta Long Island New York runnin one. It was in an OOLLLDDD magazine aptly named CARS. There were a few cars on the west coast runnin that setup too. They didn't last long though, if I remember correctly the Drag Raceing Asso.'s (AHRA,NHRA IHRA) didn't really have a class for them. Nice castings,aren't they,Bill? ALL of Alans stuff is that nice and sharp!

Richie Rich????

Happy Turkey Day, Ya'll! Hope you ALL have a GREAT Day! Remember to give thanks for ALL the young folks who, thru no fault of their own won't be home with their loved ones this year. God Bless them ALL! And God Bless each and every one of my Brothers and Sisters on this Forum.and thanks Gregg and Harry for ALL your hard work!

Syn, what model is that? It looks familiar,but then again, it doesn't. Could you refresh my drug clouded memory Please?

NICE woodworking on the bed Juergen!!! I did not know you were a CARPENTER Too!!! It's lookin good Bro, DON'T stop now, I wanna see that bad boy ROLLIN down da street!!!

Jeeze, Gregg, I don't think they'd support the oppisition, BUT since it's NOT for the Mag, They MIGHT! Heck, give it a shot!
