Dang it Harry, Without an ABSOLUTE confirmation, I can't say my 7 week run is still rollin! But what the hey, I'll claim it is! Thanks for not bein grumpy with me after all this time, But, like I said, Once Therese leaves for work, it gets kinda lonely around here And I NEED you guys! Thanks, and we'll say it's REAL for MY sake!!!

Harrrryyyyy, wake up now, it's time to rise an shine!I'm gettin wired now.Everybodys gonna think I'm nuts, the way I just wait for ya every Friday. But I needs my fix Bro, my handses is shaken, I can'ts see straight, and I'm achin all over! pleeze hits me brutha I needs it NOW. Ya dun created a whole buncha RoM junkies.I hope yer proud o' youself. All these folks justa turnin into jello waitin on ya!HIT ME BRO, HIT ME!!!! OH, and Good Morning, I trust you slept well.

Steef, a kit is only as valuable as what someone is willing to pay for it, nothing else.Plastic has NO intrinsic value, it's only PLASTIC!. But the joy someone gets out of building it CAN be priceless. Your particular kit is not that rare, even if it is still wrapped, heck I've got two of em still wrapped downstairs! I was gonna build em years ago, then Revell came out with their 69 Charger and Poof! now they just sit onna shelf. If they turn out to be worth somethin, I'd like to know, caz them rascals'll be GONE!!!

Un, if it's ANYTHING I do know about, it's Chevys. I tend to gravitate to Mopes too. Never been much of a furd guy, but that don't mean I don't like em,I just like Chevys and Mo-pars more, Thats all.

Awww Bob,C'mon you know ALL us modelers are Brothas from a different mutha! So's technically, WE ARE ALL family!!!

Welcome Doug. Glad to have ya here. They's ALOT of guys here who can help with tips, trades and good advice.Your definately gonna like it here. Take off yer shoes an set a spell, caz your family now!!!!

Dan, wat a great lookin circle drag truck! Hey, kiddo, you may have started a whole new genre of racing! I really like this lil pick up!!! Another great build, as usual!!!!!

Jurg, yer lil truck an trailer came out KILLER!!! The 2 tone paint job is nice an smooth, an the wood in the bed makes a great contrast of color. It ALL looks good!. But.... Whacha takin to the Flats? It looks like it might need somethin else to be completely done.Maybe a racer on the trailer? Either way, racer or no, it came out GREAT!!!!

Well at least I was able to slide it past Gregg, And yes Iz, there was a re-issue, but the ORIGINAL is still the BEST!!!

Curt, with all the Tree Huggers (NOT Dave)around,I thought they were gonna be somethin like eco-freindly or somethin, But they're gas guzzlin fire breathin race bikes.YESSSS! I love the brutal speed these bike can attain, and the way the riders just whip em around the track! Great builds, they look like the real things.I likeses them!!!!

Well Dave,TECHNICALLY I wasn't really gone,But I wasn't here either.Remember the ol Superman comics, where they had the"Phantom Zone"? Well THATS where I was, Till "The Force"that ALL the guys here exude was able to bring me back from the "Void, Zone", or what ever they call the etherial plain of cyberspace. And, I have all you guys to thank for it, you boys dun me rite! I guess it's just that we modelers are one big happy family,and SOMEONE missed me an helped me get back.Deepest thanks to all of you! I owe you all a big debt of gratitude! And PLEEZE don't tell Gregg how I messed up, what he don't know won't make me look stoopid! If that's possible!

Un, I really like the idea of you usin a Pontiac engine in it! EVERYBODY uses Chevy engines in just about everything, It's nice to see a change of pace. Hey it's a GM engine inna GM, so whats the diff? It'll look good whatevers powerin it!

Chris, thats just too cool! like Rick was askin, Where'd ya get it?

PPSSSSSTTTTTTT. Fellas, I got back on usng a new password.So lets just kinda keep this on the down low.I mean, it's not like EVERYBODY needs to know I'm not playin with a full deck!Besides, If ony we know about it, an no one tells Gregg, MAYBE I won't look so stupid.But, then again........ Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! (and everybody on it!)

Bob, I know that it gets kinda boring havin to watch all these older kits bein reissued, but when I last talked with John G. he was sayin that they'd be goin slow to start with, but that in time they'd be givin us new kits. Every journey starts wih the first step. Lets just hope for a good long happy trip!

Jairus, Thanks so much for the info.I just happened to get lucky, an with a prayer I was able to get a new password and get back in! Now I don't hafta bother Gregg about this, caz I've done it once before, an he'll probly think I'm an idiot! But again, thanks for the help, your ok in my book!

ED, I knew sompin wuz up! Anyway, I took a deep breath, asked God to help me out, and BAM, I was able to get back in under my old name, george 53. My new password is 15 digits long, but who cares, I'm in like Flynn!!!So ,go ahead an send me some mail, caz I'm 1 HAPPY CAMPER!!!!YESSSSS!!!!!

Hey Dude, I was fresh factory delivered in 1953, I was probly concieved on tha back of a Dino!

Looks GOOD so far EVE. I like the color an tha stripes. But, your "ghetto" paint booth looks like some folk's homes around here! Hey, I thought you lived in S.Cali, What would you need a furnace for? UNLESS it's to burn the evidence!. Just don't inhale while it's burnin, caz it shows up in yer wee!

Welcome Chris. I'm not too into tuners , so I don't know what those cars you posted are, But, they are cool. What are they? the makes, I mean.They sure look like nice clean builds, and your surely welcomed here. Please enjoy the site an POST MORE PICS of your works, They sure are nice!

DAVE, you ol dog you! Glad yer back! and yes, you were missed! The movin heavy stuff around is a good excuse, as long as the young lady that caused it doesn't hear she's a Heavy machine! Hope ya got some good stuff from the bay, cause I'ma just itchin(ok, maybe I COULD use a bath)to see yer next WIP! Welcome back Bud, an stay away from the.....Heavy Machinery!

######,408,mebe I should pop a Corona too,Cause that lil truck is gonna be sharp! Do love the color, it really goes with the look I think your goin for.The wheels an rims are gonna do that rascal proud!

Well Is, now you KNOW we'll expect to see 15 more killer builds outta you in the next year!!! Glad you found em!!!

Brad, you still have a REAL Challenger? Too Cool. And YES, for as beautiful as they looked, ALL those years Chryslers were built like ######!I was lucky to own 2, a 69 Charger R/T 440 4spd, and a 69 Super Bee 440 automatic. The 68/70 B-bodys were some of the (if NOT THE)most beautiful cars Chrysler ever built, But, I've never been in one that din't sound like you were kickin a trash can every time you closed the door, trunk, or hood. And they had a nasty habit of tearin at the top of the drivers door Quarter panel seam, from too much torque twist.Thats how I can tell it the cars been raced, or restored.But, even with those few flaws, I'd still give one of my nu#* to have either one back again.They were brutally fast, and beautiful, and will ALWAYS remain as 2 of my favorite cars!

Thanks Gregg, The pleasure was all MINE! To finally meet the"BIG KAHUNA" and find him so approchable was a real treat! I hope maybe someday, I can make a Pilgramage to the land of cocanuts and hang with you there( I think the weather would be much nicer than Toledo in October) But if not, Toledo will do just fine. You are truly a good an decent person whom I would love to have as a personal freind. But, wait, Oh, sorry we have met ,so I guess we ARE! Till I see ya again, Buddy,Please take care, an I'ma just waitin till next October!!!(ooooo thats scary!!!)
