Cool, ya know it's only bout 45 mins from me, so for sure,I"LL SEE YA THERE!!!

WOW Capt'n, that there distytributor looks like it got it's own Geo-Magnetic lines orbit.....Oh,sorry, now I can see they's plug wars. But ya better get with it Bro, caz he migt get all upitty wich yall if'n he finds out da Rodent is runnin free! He MIGHT do more than jus bite yer finger! DON'T leave ANY wanted digits layin aroun near'im!!!

Pat, I'm goin.Do you know how ta get ahold of any of the guys in the club??? I don't have ANY phone numbers,an I kinda thought it would be cool to hook up an go together. The only problem being that I get there EARLY, an stay till it CLOSES! I was gonna take Therese with me, but she's already said she wouldn't be able to hang all day. Seems she's not as into models as me, but she IS pretty sharp on 'em. That's why I like takein her to the shows.Her input is REAL good for me. Sorry you missed this months meeting at Bob's house, it was GREAT! Lottsa food, drinks, and about 10 members cars,at least 8 of them, if not all, were parked in Bob's yard,with LOTTSA room ta spare! It really was COOL!!!

HOLY SHAZNIZZIL, Geeze!!! That ride is TOOOO COOL!!!! Man you SHOULD call it a squirrel rod, not a rat rod! Ain't NUTHIN ratty about that BAD BOY!!! I KNOW It'd give it SERIOUS thought about racein him!,Heck,If I lose,he'd PROBLY EAT ME!!! LOVE the lil Fangs on the bottom there, great clearance indicators! The WHOLE ride just looks TOOO COOOL!!!! Ya got MY vote for inginuity!! YOU GO,GEEZE!!!!!!

Sure Did Lyn, and it came out pretty durn GOOD for her 1st model! Heck, my first one wasn't even painted! But it WAS black,so it looked cool! Still wasn't as nice as Emily's though!

K-Dog, that's just TOO COOL! You got any plans to pop that rascal to sell? It sure looks cool, an I'd sure wouldn't mind tryin one on!!

Randy, you can bet yer booties I'll be there! After LAST year, I decided I won't miss another one as long as I'm or it's here! The guys usually have MCM name stickers so we can find each other, so I'll be lookin for ya Bro!!!

Ya know, they probably came to their senses an realised just HOW VALUABLE an employee you were, an did create a job just for you so they wouldn't lose you!!! Ok, so they probly din't wanna pay unemployment bennies an decided ta keep ya 'round, BUT they COULDA had that meetin an fired the person that called ya ta lay ya off,caz THAT was TOTALLY a NO-CLASS way ta be! Jus give the sign an you'll have a WHOLE forum brotherhood ta lay seige ta ol' Sams!!! Hope all goes well in your new position as "Flower Lady" an does this mean you were once a "Flower Child"?

Yeesh Ran, that looks TONS better than a stock Camaro! Jus don't care for the look of the new "Retro" Camaro, but your lil wagon does it for me, I LIKESES it ALOT!!!

Nigel, that's just plain ol COOL! Is that a plastic model or resin? It would be neet ta see somethin like that at the Detroit Auto-rama! Not one of yer everyday sights here in Deeetroit, THAT'S for sure! Great job on it, simple, but effective! I know I'd NEVER think there was a Ferrari engine in that pup!!! Came out REAL cool,I likes it!!!!

WOW Nigel, Northern Ireland??? Is it REALLY as haunted as the 'Ghost Adventurers" say it is??? I'd like ta see your Taxi, sounds like it's right up our alley. Seems like a good kinda ride to start with! A custom chopped taxi would be a new one for us! Welcome to the BEST forum on the PLANET Nige, you'll like it here,and feel free to join in the fun, caz that's what it's ALL about! Cheers!!!

Here I am Dann-O Right behind ya!

OOOOO, good one Harry! It don't look like that stand is strong enough to hold up a bird! BUT them fasteners on the fenders look REAL. So which way ta go? At first I was gonna say model, but I'm gonna go with REAL instead. Yep, thats my vote, REAL!

Yo, Mike-O, Wolfie, wheres you guys at? it's time ta throw rocks at Harry's window ta get his butt up! I'm all atremblin with anticipation ta see what he's gonna throw at us today! Hey Harry, you up yet? Get you a nice wake-up cup of Joe, take ya a good (you know what) an let's GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!! WAZ IT GON BE LIKE Daddy-O?? HIT US BROTHER,HIT US!!!!

Yeeesh, your FIRST model??? Ya dun a GREAT job on it Girl!!! Only thing you can do now is just get better 'n better! Looks GREAT for your first one! As Lee so eloquently put it, YOU GO GIRL!!!

Santiago, mi Primo, are you an Tonio,mi yerno, gonna be at Toledo? You sure came ALOOONG way since the LAST time I saw the Impala! Nice thing about gettin it in the Mag is that 1,000's of folks'll get ta see it, an not jus the folks at the shows! She's lookin JUST as nice as I thought it would! GREAT JOB, Blood!!!

Gregg, oh fearless one, I think ya been hittin the fermented poi a little hard, Daddy-O! That looks like a 62 Pontiac,NOT a Nova. BUT if it's only the paint throwin me off, ya dun a heckava job! I do like the color combo, an the wheels go well with it.All in all, even thru poi induced vision, she's lookeen goood!!! You ain't too bad a builder O mighty one!

Ok these are all VERY interesting thoughts and ideas, an you guys mos'def know more about this stuff that I'll EVER know, BUT the fact remains to me,as WHO decides WHAT will come out next? Is there a commitee that sits down an haggles over what we want? WHERE are the polls taken? I've been to the Auto-Rama many times an haven't seen anyone there askin folks, I enjoy auto related sports, and I've NEVER seen anyone asking at those places( Milan Dragway, Cranbrook )So, Even though I know they 've NEVER polled ME, where do they poll at? I'll buy whatever they pop simply cas I LIKE to build models, an I really don't care if they pop another 32, but what is the deciding factor in HOW it's done, an WHO makes the final decision? If it's a group of guys who look at the bottom line(profit) or is it a bunch of modelers like us, who are eager to see ANY knew kit,( enthusiasim) or what? Considering the amount of money that goes into development and design of a new product, you'd think they would ask us, the final link in the chain,what we want. But like I said, I've never seen any kind of "Tell us what YOU want" type of questionaire. Maybe I'm jus stoopid an can't figger it out(which SHOULDN'T come as a big shock to you guys ) I really don't care what they pop,cause if it's not my speed I won't get more than one. The different variations of new Mustangs don't do a thing for me.I got an 06 and that's enough of them for me, but I did buy one of each,cas I just don't want ta see my beloved models fade into obscurity. I'm REALLY glad the 66 Impala is comin out(did I mention that already?) and I'm sure we'll get a convertable outta that one too!( oh happy happy!!) But like I asked before, are we ONLY getting it cas they had the tooling for the 65 already? I for one, would like to know how it's done. If it's one guy,or a group of people? and how do we influence THEM? As far as I'm concerned it's all alchemy to me,and I'll probly buy/build whatever they pop.(Cept for that durn ol Pyro Triumph GT. I wasted my money on it OVER 30 years ago, an it WON'T happen again!) ( whose idea was THAT?) Now to get back to the crux o' da biskit, WHO makes the FINAL decision on whay we're gonna get? THIS inquireing mind(HA) would like to know!!!

Welp, again I ask, WHO decides what we're gonna get? I've never filled out a request form for a new kit idea, so WHERE do the ideas come from? Where do the companys get their model requests from? Who says "this is the next kit"? I'd like to know how it's done. Not that it'll make any kinda difference,they'll pop what they wanna pop, but WHO or WHAT commitee makes the FINAL decision on WHAT we'll get???

Oh HECK no,Dave!!! My grandson isn't but 3 weeks old TODAY, an I got him a messa gold plated Hot Wheels to go on his shelves! I notice you got yours the"Promo" version of the Chally, good move, it'll be easier for him ta build, then you can get him the full detail version! I LOVE havin me a Grandson!!!

OOOO, Tom, this is gonna be NICE!!! Can't wait ta see yer build up of it! BTW, the lil Ranchero in your avitar, is it Motor City Resin's Ranchero, or did you mod it yourself? It looks great too!

Yep, cut from the same cloth!!! Great kits too!

Personally, I'm waitin on Revel's 66 Impala. I built an original kit I got some time back,and I'd LOVE to do more, but they're so dam expensive I wouldn't spring for another one! With the new issue, I KNOW it'll be a KILLER and at the price they'll go for,I'll be able to build as many as I want!!! (66 was a GREAT year for Chevy,IMO!)

Chris, I really like the way the 55 looks.What's an Air & Light Trailer? The others look really nice too! Nice thing about Fire-Fighting equipment is that they're ALWAYS CLEAN!!! My Son-In-Law is a 10 year veteran Fire Fighter and his crew takes GREAT pride in the condition of their vehicles. I like to go visit him at the station,an they're ALWAYS clean an shiney! Your's look GREAT!
