COOL! Check it out Jeff, We's rollin good again! Hope our luck holds out! Harry, it's -11 outside, an minus 29 wind chill. How's it in Chi-town? other than cold an windy?

AWWWRRRIIIITTTEEE, ANOTHER partay!!!! It was kinda quiet last month, but we enjoyed it. It'll be even better now that more members'll be there. Last month for the meeting there was a snowstorm and alot of guys could"nt make it. Especially guys like you, an the Ohio crew(Bud an them guys) But tonite, it ain't nothin but cold, an us Northerners can handle some cold!C-ya Tonite Pat!

WoW,Customs! Talk about over the TOP! To be honest with ya though, in 10/15 years, cars will NOT be THAT stylish. Yer givin the designers TOO much credit! Beautiful AMERICAN cars like that have been gone for a LOOOONNNNGGGG time. Nuthin but Jelly Beans left. Yours can't be mistaken for Kia! Beautifully done!

Your Buick looks SHARP Steve! I have the same body, a 68 that I got from Perry's resins about 10 years ago, and just recently,(last month)I was able to get 2 70 buick GSX bodies from Steve Kohler, over at Star Models! I was gonna use the 69 442 kit on these, while the 68 kit called for the 69 Chevelle as the donor. Like all R&R kits, it does need some work on it to be ACCURATE, but these are some of the prettiest cars G.M. ever designed.Yours came out GREAT!!!!

Sure is! The REALLY lucky, leadin the REALLY lucky!!!

Shane, with every pic, it looks better an better! This is really gonna be a killer, I always liked that body style of Dart(67/69)anyway, you just made it BETTER!!!It's lookin GREAT!

Dave, you ALREADY know I'm a fan of yours. PERSONALLY, I don't think the lines of the 69 Charger CAN be improved on, BUT, I wasn't counting on YOU! Now that your here, I'm gettin excited on your take on it! Yep, Those are some of the BEST styles to come outta Deeetroit in a LOOOONNNGGGG time, and NEVER to be repeated. Your look on things should work out PURTY NICE! Can't wait to see more!!!

Well, Harry, Get your butt up, an build you a CAR!!!!

Glad you straightened that out Jeff! I am a result of the DPS system, an I don't know alot of fancy words like"guru". Is that like bein a Gang Cheif?Now THAT I know about. Not that I was, but I knew some.Anyways, thanks for gettin me straight on that, I appreciate it! Sorry 'bout jackin the thread Harry!

I mostly build 25th 24th scale cars,trucks, planes, Helo's, tanks, boats, I even got James Bonds one man auto gyro. I build Planes, mostly WWII and Viet Nam, in 148th scale. Any more stuff and I'll hafta get a bigger house, an THAT AIN't happnen!

Oh, A MEXICAN Crab? Cool, I like most mexicans. The folks what raised me was Mexican! (Not that they'll admit it.Raisin me,that is!) Good taste, what taste good! I likeses you, VW dave, you got good taste.

Jeurg, you go boy! That there CHARGER's gonna be one of your prettiest builds! If you like to Alcad your chrome, go for it! It sure can't hurt. The rest of your builds look GREAT, I can't see this one bein any different! And besides, I just LOVE 69 Chargers. Like I said, You GO Jeurg!!!

Scott's pretty cool , hu Java? He's helped me out quite a bit too. As for your dio, it's COOL dude! Looks like alot of thought went into it, Fine job,You should be proud !

Grumpy, REALLY great job on your Funny, but to be honest with ya, that Hemi is a TWIN plug engine, and the plugs are fired by BOTH distributors. Not one for each bank, as they seem to look. EACH distributor should be wired to it's respective plug in tandem.That way when it does fire it lights up BOTH plugs an allows for better combustion, and more power. JUst thought since your buildin another one, that you could use the info, an get it right. Your little car looks awesome!

Sandy, Revell just released the 68" Bullet "Mustang. I saw it at my LHS yesterday. I DON'T know if you can build it stock, but they're out now, and maybe you can find one. Hope this helps.

What a bummer Jody, I can feel for ya bro. I hope everything works out for ya, and I will remember you in my prayers.

Marcus, same here. I only build for ME. NO one outside of my immediate family and freinds have ever seen my models. I'd show em here, but I got a REAL problem with larnin new stuff, an I don't know my way around a computer as well as some.But I like 'em, an my freinds who have seen them like 'em too. I normally build street cars, like the ones from my Jr/High school days. Their NO WAY on the level of some of the guys here, but I like 'em. And as soon as I get off my ded butt an learn how, I'll post pics. But that'll be the only way anyone sees them rascals caz I don't enter shows either. I think I do it for the fun of it.Or relaxation,or.......Geeze, I don't know really. I just do.

I can Back Up Chris like a brick wall! He's a GREAT trader an a nice guy. I've been tryin to get guys to use Emodelcars since I found it! It sure beats the wazzoo outa the Bay! I've purchased a few kits from Emodel and was VERY happy with it. I've even bought a kit from the Big Kahuna hisself! If you think the postage is TOO hi, just Email the seller, talk to him, and maybe you can work somethin out between the 2 of you. I've done it, an most guys'll be willing to work with you. Try it, You'll LIKE it!

Dave, what's the lil Crab sayin? I can't read it!

Juerg, it's lookin GREAT!!!! Your makin me all GIDDY about seein her again.I've got about 4 built in all the scales they came in.32nd, 25th, 24th, an 1/18th.It's been well over 30 years and I STILL remember the whine of the starter,and the sound of that big 440 just comin to life! I've NEVER owned a PRETTIER car. Yours'll be beautiful when your done too! Triple Black was my color combo, try the look on yours, an you'll see what I mean!Oh, and NO R/T stripe on it ,to spoil all that beautiful black sheetmetal!!!!!

I have 2 accounts here. So do a coupla other members. It wouldn't let me in once so I started a new account on my daughters computer. But I remember one of the other guys did it too, when it did the same thing to him.

Rand, THAT is TOO cool! ANYONE who's been to the races or strip will SURELY relate to THAT! Funny how somethin like that can just bring back so many great/crazy memories! I LIKE IT!

Juerg,WAS a 1:1. I saw it for the last time in sept of 75 . I had to sell it ,caz my wife didn't want it anymore. We STILL have BAD feelings about it, but we NEVER talk about it!

Jeff, ain't GURU like a Mongolian Barbeque meal? Somethin like goat testicles or sumpthin? I HOPE not!

WOW Lo, That is one smooth Merc! Over 20 years ago? Would you "member jus how you extended the rear quarters to make it a 50? It sure looks good, an there ain't too many resin bodies out there. Yours looks GREAT!!!! Oh, an WELCOME to the BEST Model Car site on the web!!!
