ASSOKAY ######'n I don no wha I'm sayin haf de time eidder! Theresa's gotta pruf read fer me,an if hiss hokay fer HER, hiss ok fer moi!

######, Pete, really cool build!I love the color. I got 2 kits of that Pearl-Ex that I got for 1/2 price at Micheals Arts n Crafts. I just haven't tried em yet. Man they sure look good on your truck! More incentive to get off my lazy arse an do some buildin!

Joe, FINALLY, I've heard SO much about them BUT to finally SEE one, Well, I'll be!Kinda like the ol 25 year old virgin story. Theyre out there, but just try to find one!

Yo Henry! Welcome Brother, More meat for the grinder!!!Just kiddin! were ALL a LITTLE weird here some of us more than others BUT we ALL share a common love,MODEL CARS! This is the BEST website in THE WORLD for that! We got THE best builders in the world too! You will like it here, so PLEASE feel at home, join in the fun and ENJOY! NOW......PARTY ON!!!!!

Bill, wasn't that out around the same time as Barry Manilows "MANDY"? another syrupy type of song in the same vein?Yeesh I had forgotten BOTH those songs and now I'm afeared their both gonna haunt me!

Sorry to hear Ron Cash has passed away.Is their something about resin casting thats dangerous? Is it neccesary to wear protective clothing or breathing apparatus? Seems like alot of resin casters over the years have succumed to some sort of illness.Is the old Art Anderson article that I heard about, the one in which he tells of why he quit casting available to read anywhere?It seems like it couldn't hurt to know what the guys who bring us some of our favorite cast resin kits go thru to do it.

Bill, If some nut is willing to pay $800.00 bucks for a model that just sits on a shelf and does absolutely NOTHING, what would this same fool be willing to pay for a car like the 56 vette, or the Charger Daytona? At least your cars are worth ALOT more simply because they FUNCTION! A static model that does nothing but sit there, well, I guess, as the old saying goes, "theres one born every minute" I guess he's found his.And lets not forget the 58 Impala, Easy worth a grand or more! At least it could supplement your income a little! You DO have a GOD given gift, you should do whatever motivates you and brings YOU pleasure, but if you could make a coupla bucks off your talent,why be shy about it?I think I would be givin it ALOT of thought myself.Whats wrong with enjoying your hobby AND makin a coupla bucks? Paul Hettick seems to be doin a good job of makin money at it, but is it still fun?Only YOU can decide if its the right road for you and your talents.Whatever you decide, you are my freind and I will give you ALL the support I possibly can,in any way I can.

Bill, you could take this guy in your sleep,BUT how long will the economy sustain these fools with more money than brains?With gas close to 5 bucks a gallon, I really don't see too many people willing to pay close to a grand for a static model car!These are the fools who probably put the present administration in office!I got no pity for fools, BUT if you could move a few of your builds for a couple grand, I'd say you should go for it! why should someone as talented as yourself not enjoy the fruits of your labors?Hey, THEY got the money to throw away, why not be the lucky fellow to pick it up? your builds ARE certainly worth what the market will bear.BUT my freind, DO NOT quit your evening job.Just my personal opinion.

Probly build sum borin a$$ ol models!Thas r piopose ######'n, PURE INSPERASHUN!!!!

Awwwww,######'n, you alus say da nicest tings.

Bob, sorry for the loss of your freind, and my deepest condolences to his family, It's always a shame to lose a fellow modeler, and a young fellow at that. May he rest in peace,and have the grace of Almighty GOD upon him and his family.

Tree, dey say great minds think alike! But I dont think so, I tend to run on instink! What knows what motivtes da ######'n! But we seems to motivates at da same speed!(SLOW!)

Uber, what a great thread! Thanks, I dint know that about the Daytonas.That was really interesting to learn after sooo many years.Thats one of the reasons I LOVE THIS PLACE!, so many guys have so much new info, I learn new stuff every day!!!!

Well, ######'n, theres that subtle sense o humor o yers again.A STRAW! fer a gassem up tank!I get it ,a straw fer tha ride to drink from!Yu gotta be as warpeded as me ######'n, THATS why I likeses you so mucho!Get all dollied up so's we can see 'er done,an go cruzin fer da chickies!(it's ok if deys small, caz my ol girl tells me I aint all that either!)

I'm with Raul on this one.The car looks nice too though!

######'n, is you got WORKIN lites onat towsie? Dood it come likes dat or you been pullin a Robbo n started wirin up sh8t? Either way, it lookses good, but mebbe you should hook up a burglyer alarm jus in case theol man(Gramps)tries to pull a B&E on you! You know wats dey say, Payback's a Bitsh!

WoW Lyle, REALLY NICE variation onna theme! It sure came out nice! I like the color too, looks like somethin that woulda been available back then. Great build!

Whoe, wot a neet idea! Looks good, I've got a coupla 59 Elco kits I might give that a shot, without the openin doors( too much work) but it sure LOOKS GOOD!!!Great Job !!!!

###### HAROLD! I just wish I could "PUTZ" that well! Well I saw how she went together, and It's a pleasure to see her done.GREAT BUILD, you should be proud of yourself!!!!

Yep Cndy, My Bro-in-law had a Red convertible with a 327 4bbl, 4 spd, and Man, could that thing haul for bein such a big ol boat!One of the reasons I love Chevy's SOOOOO much!!!

Guy's I have 2 of the "Hess Training Vans" One I've been working on, an another untouched.If anyone would/could be willing to cast it, I'd be willing to lend it for that purpose.Maybe, they could be sold (the castings) to off set the price of materials to the forum members. They are kinda hard to come by,(I've had mine for about 10 years,and haven't seen any more)so I would like it back, But to have a chance for more of us to have one,I'd be willing to do it.Anyone wanna try it? I saw in another post someone was willing to cast some resin 69 RoadRunner bucket seats, so maybe this might be doable too?Just a thought. Let me know what you guys think,We got a master, can we get a CASTER?(HAAAAA,I got a milloin of em!!!)(stoopid jokes that is!)

no doubt, yea it woulda been great for ROM!

WoW! sure looks good.Is it the original kit? not that it matters caz yours looks great!Let's see this bad boy all finished up!

I'm with you Ed, I WANT IT BACK TOO! I'm tired of goin into auto zone, pep bpys an the like an seein stuff writin in spanish an aribic! Jus wait'll the good ol boys see that Budwieser(the great AMERICAN beer) is bein sold off to some European outfit!But I don't think It'll change nothin,Caz VERY few folks are willing to fight than change!This country's become TOO complacient!

Eve, yer branchin out dude! I really like the Vette all opened up like that!The rest of them models are nice too, glad to see em!,Like my man Tito says, Keep on Keepin on!
