BADDA BING!!!

Sully, it looks great! real nice stance, paint, I like the way you cut the rear bumper out for the exhaust,Looks cool! Great build Kidd-O

Scott, Remindes me of my High School parking lot. You caught the look perfectly! Great Job!!!

Congrats!, Tom! Your lil wagon was really sharp! I kinda laughed to myself when I noticed it was right next to Lyle's car.And I'm SURE Ron would have whole-heartedly approved of it!

Hans, YES! the guy to the right of Anthony Rios,AKA"Mr.Biggs" is the one of the fellows I was talkin with. Big guy, an he had a pretty good cough too! Hope he's feelin better! :DThe fellow to the left of Anthony, is the other guy.Both were freindly,interesting guys.

Clay, that green semi was bad wasn't it? Gregg was takin pics inna corner he had set up, and the fella who built it was busy with him, so I din't wanna bother them. But there was a really late entry, I don't know if it got photoed, But it was a Deep blue color with neat skulls airbrushed into it and it was too cool too! It's one of those "had ta be there" kinda things and it was great!!! Try to make it to one, if you can, an you'll see what I mean. Oh, by the way, Mr.Biggs's 300 Peterbuilt won Best of Show. Ya should see it up close an for real, caz it truly is awesome!

Oh yeah, Ed it was a GREAT time. Bill Geary lives near Pittsburg too, an he was tellin me it was like an 8 hr drive or so. He came with some buds an they helped split the cost. But I tell ya what , I had such a good time that I WILL be at the next one! Hopefully, you an the guys(Will an Brendan) can make it sometime and I'll get to meet all you guys!

Kyle, George has a good idea there. Target sells the 4 drawer unit for about 6 bucks ,and they really do hold ALOT of stuff. They can really help to make more room when space is tight!

10 feet? Jeeze Mike, it looks good from where you took the pictures! Is it a resin? or were you lucky enough to find an original kit? I got an R&R resin kit, caz an original unbuilt kit (IF you can find one) is well over 200 bucks! Your looks REAL nice! I know your client will be very happy with it!

Oh, yeah, Hans. I had a few minutes to talk with them, Both real nice guys. Your other buddy(besides Ollie) I'm REALLY sorry , But I Din't catch the PROPER pronounciation of his name, but it sounded kinda like John or something, I really do appoligize. Yep, they were interesting to talk to, and bought some really nice models to the show! Maybe sometime you can come with them, and I'll get to meet you too! Great guys!

:lol,Yeah, Rob, can ya tell? Hey, I also met Tim Boyd, Sorry I forgot to mention that, An the 2 guys from Sweden ( can't remember their names though) Man, I was thinkin of goin back, just to go to the swap meet,But Honey-Doo said too much of a GOOD thing ain't so good fer me!($$$$$$) But I did good I think, I only spent about 50 bucks, 2 T-shirts,a pair of Traks aluminium BB Chevy valve covers,from Bob Black AND the entrance fee. But, like I said, If you ever have the opporitunity to make one,DO IT!!! You won't be sorry! OH yeah, I was lucky to make new freinds an get to know alot of the names on the forum. Hey, Billy(Kingsley),Thanks for showin me around and to Tom (Grampa's Toys) Woodruff, (I hope I got that right) for pointin out some really killer models to photograph, to add to the memories! It really WAS Model Car Heaven!!! And wountcha know it, when they were callin the forum members outside for the group pic, I din't know it and I din't get in it! What a drag! Never been inna magazine before.Beside, It was probly for the best, cuz I probly wooda broke the camera!!!

Pat, my man! thanks for the pics, they're great(like the cereal!)Steve, Nick, and Rick an myself were lookin for ya , Cause I mentioned to Them that I would like to meet you, but I guess you had already left. That's ok though, cause I'll see ya next Friday(Hopefully), at the DMCC Meeting, cause the guys got me hooked good! I LOVE THIS HOBBY!!!

Guy's, I JUST got back from the Toledo NNL, and man, was the drive worth it! I got to meet the "Big Kahuna", Mr.Biggs, Mr.1/16th, Bill Geary,Norm Weber,Lyle Willits,Billy Kingsley,And Just too many more to remember just now, and beyond a doubt, these guys are ALL great ambassadors for our hobby! I loved it! The models were above the norm, Kinda like beein in Model Car Heaven! Dudes, If you ain't never been to one of these, You just GOTTA go, It's EVERYTHING that folks say it is and more! GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT models, and GREAT memories. Personally, it was a great pleasure to meet Gregg himself, and he REALLY is as cool as he seems! Easy to talk to an NO ego to get in the way. Just a GREAT person! I'm tired an I'm gonna hit the sack now, but I just might head back tomorrow(it's only about an hour away,if that) An I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I tell ya guys, IT WAS GREAT! See, I'm still grinnin from ear to ear!!!

Well Thanks ,Tom. We finally get to see her in all her Glory! And I gots ta admit, it's not too shabby lookin Kiddo! I think it'll give Gregg and Lyle a good run fer tha money! Really nice color too, It seems to go with it!Seeya inna coupla hours in ol Toledo!

Aww, C'mon Iz, go ahead, cut that hood open! You know you WANT to! Geeze, It makes me wonder what they put in you guy's water that allows all you guys to be able to build like you do. Still wouldn't want to live there, but it sure looks like a nice place to visit(an drink some water!)

Dan, I gotta agree wit the Zukester. The roof on it was a stroke of genius! Looks like a Monte Carlo roof or at least a G.M. roof. Whooda thunk it woulda come out so good? Another killer ride from "Rad Rides by Dan"! GREAT BUILD!!!

Well Jurg, It's still a real nice, clean build.I don't know of anyone who's ACTUALLY built the OLD (early 60's) Revell kit and actually made it come out nice. But yours is pretty sharp. I do like the decal in the back window though, where'd ya get it?

Brent, Stevens Int. just released a NEW parts pack that has the Allison, T-bucket body, AND a frame IIRC.It's got a buncha other engines too.I agree, that Allison was gettin pretty rare, an hard to find! You lil Rail looks jus TOO COOL!

OOOO, John, That lil item is gonna finish off quite a few builds I beleive! Whoda thunk such a lil thing could make a big difference onna finished car! It looks great! Are they gonna be available thru you, or Ariel? If it's done by another Hernandez, I'm sure it'll come out lookin jus like it should! Where would we get them? For such a lil peice it shore do make a BIG difference! I likeses it!!!

YESSSS, I'm gettin slicker'n Crisco! I'm onna roll Daddy-O! 6 weeks now an I've been doin ALRIGHT if'n I says so mineself! Yeah, sooner or later I'll go down in flames an crash 'n burn, But I'll go down fightin!! C'mon Harry, go forda jugular! I can take it! Hey, I been married for 37 years! Ain't nuthin (yet) I can't handle! (Yeah, rightabout now your gonna find a 33 Rolls Canardly an jus mess me ALL up!) Can't wait for Monday,Harry!!!! Have a great weekend!(I'm goin to Toledo!!!!)

Well Arby, If your other builds are ANYTHING like this one, They would sure be nice t see! Great job. Looks really nice,I do likes it! Welcome to the BEST model car site on da planet!, You DEFINATELY gonna like it here!

Yeah, Yeah, I know its early, But I'm up! Man, the ol girls gotta get another job with more reasonable hours, or maybe she should just retire, Like me!! "But I like what I do!" will probly be her response.So, no one else left ta mess wit Harry, Cept YOU! So..... Wake yer lazy ol self up an gimmi my fix, caz you KNOW I'm JONESIN!!!! HIT ME Daddy-o HITS MEEEEE!!!!!

WOW, Jurg, Is that he 57 from Revell with the opening doors an trunk? If it is, It's THE most perfect build up of that kit that I've EVER SEEN!!! Yer pretty good kidd-o, I likes your work!

Yeah, well it's gone an happened, fellas! Bill Geary went an got a whole year older whilst we wasn't lookin!!!But he don't look bad for beginnin to be an ol' fart like SOME of us.Heck, he ain't evin fiddy yet, so I'm wondrin if we shouldn't still call 'im kid? Either way, It's our own Mr. Obsessive's B- Day, an let's all wish Him a GREAT ONE! Jus a few ta go Bill, an you'll start gettin cards from the AARP to join their ranks! Happy Birthday ol Buddy!

Harry, yes it does. From cold Corinthian cows, on the isle of Corinthia, in the Agean Sea.These cows were raised by young virgins an sold to Chrysler Corp. for the new(THEN) Chrysler Cordoba.But unfortunately, the virgins ran out of virginity, an could no longer raise the cows, thus, Chrysler decided to drop the Cordoba. Just another footnote of automotive history.(YEAH,RIGHT!)
