YES! I have to agree with Exotics, Ithink it would make a great R.V. conversion. I've converted 2 Hess training vans by extending the wheel bases and gutting the interiors, and they're still curbsides.As far as the price goes, has any one priced one of the Hess vans lately,If you can find one!Yeah, I'll take one maybe two!

Welcome also Josh,Lotta neat people to meet here, things to learn hope you stay for a long time,and enjoy.George53.

Oh yeah it was like 2 degrees yesterday with a windchill of minus 15. yes it was cold, but it makes you appericiate summer that much more.(and theres ABSOLUTLY no chance of sliding into ANY ocean here in Michigan!) George(yeah, i'm freezin my nuts off!)53

Albert, to answer your question, yes the thunderbolt chassis will fit. Depending on how far you want to go,you can take the engine compartmant out and just exchange them, or you can modifiy the front wheel wells on the thunderbolt frame to allow it to slip up into the 63 body,without cutting out the e/c of the 63.But the wheel bases do match as does the width.Go for it!

Mr.Cruz,for your information, I do believe the individual in question is a Mr Jose Malto- a gentleman currently incarcerated in the State of Michigan Dept. of Correction. As his blood relation, and spokesman for hid Attorneys,Dewey-Cheetham and Howe, use of his like-ness may be prohibited without his direct consent.He may even take it up with you when he gets out,which I believe is in another 20/25 yrs. Then again ,maybe it's not him. George53

There's a product called Simple Green that's non-caustic,doesn't smell and you don't need gloves or resperators,yet will strip paint or chrome like there's no tomorrow. Ive been using it for years and haven't found a paint yet it won't strip. Chrome, if left for 24/48 hours will be stripped down to BARE plastic(laquer and all!) you can get it just about anywhere,K-mart,ACO,wallyworld,Tru-value,you get the idea,and, above all, its SAFE.I don't believe it'll hurt you unless you drink it.you really should try it,you'll like it.George53

Mostly 60 thru early 70's muscle cars like the ones my big brudder drove,andlike roamed the streets in my senior year of high school in 71 any69 nova SS ,69 Super bee,69charger,cause I was lucky enough to have owned em all,wish I still did George53.

went to my lhs to find the latest issue of mcm for a fellow forum member,but of course it hadn't come in yet,tommorow,probably, yeah right.so to make it an unwasted trip i picked up the new Revell 58 Impala.don't really care for the 348 though,probably build it with a 327 tri power.George53.

Don't it make it taste funnny?......aaahhhhhhaaaaaaacough,choke,gag.

yeeesh, i thought i was bad, got 2 rooms in the basement 2 deep coverin 2 walls floor to ceiling, wifey poo wants me to set up tables at the toy shows cause their takin up tooo much room, but Mr bastido got me lookin like an anorexic kenyan.Just had to call the ol girl over to check this out and all she could say was is he married and, if i bought her a house that big she might not bitch(and she doesn't use the word lightly!) George53. Mr Bastido, you are definatly THE MAN!

Six, goin on seven ,my big brother got me a Revell 56 chrysler new yorker. the kind where you had to glue the body sides to the trunk,roof,hood . came out much like you'd expect. a few years ago it was re- released sooo i tried it again.not all that much better, nice to know somethings never change! George53. Oh, it was in 1959, 40some years later im still about the same. does practice make perfect? i sure am hopin so cause im still practicein.

Stanerman, I had double walking new monia (in both lungs) and i was at DISNEY WORLD! dr there told me if i was coughin up blood he'd put me in the hospital. iwas but i didnt tell him. wasnt gonna mess the vacation any worse. either way it took me about 3 months to finally get completely over it. it is VERY dangerous and you should see your Dr. about it, cuz the anti biotics may seem to be working but it can come back with a vengence! Do really hope you get over it soon, best wishes and God Bless,George 53 ------ Didn't mean to scare ya , but it really is some mean sh!!t, don't mess around with it and see your Dr. Again,George53.

Hey guys, Guess i'm the non skilled one outa the bunch. I retired from G.M. last july with32yrs. I worked at the Det/Hamtramck Ass. plant, beter known as "poletown".I worked at Fisher Body Fleetwood in Detroit before it closed for 11yrs before transfering to poletown. I put 12yrs in primary body ass.( bodyshop) then 13yrs. in G.A.(general Assembly) finally getting into material handeling for the last 7(hi/lo driver) saw the complete assembly of Cadillacs from sheetmetal stampings to paint,body marriage(where they install the engine/running gear)to final ass. to rollout/final process. it was all pretty interesting.sometimes i tend to miss it(NOT) anyways not as hi tech or specialized as some jobs but i liked it . Provided a good income tolive and raise my family on, and i'm proud to have built Cadillacs for so long.Wife drives an 02 Eldo and she's waiting on a new CTS couldn't cut it for a V model but the sixes are pretty qwick. tanks for the opperatunity to talk about it. George Hernandez,aka George53

mademan, igot 3 70 chevys(old police cars) and 2 trumpeter 64 novas, i got the AMT novas but they are hard to come by and i wanted to keep em, sorry, you need any 70 impalas? they are old police cars,no boxes or decals. George 53, thanks.

Guys, i got the stuff but ,can only get to 3 of em rite now. modeler was the 1st one to respond, but rollin was the one to ask for them i'm tryin to be fair about this so the 1st one to get back with me will get 2 the other,1. Igot a couple of kits that came with this stuff ,and i dont use it so there we are.if you guys could tell me what kits specificaly they come in ill look for more.like i said i do got more but they are buried under LOTS of kits. Now, does any one out there have (a) a stock matador grille/bumper assembly? (B)a hornet rear bumper?©a 68 GTO dash? like i said i got tons of stuff to trade 30 some years worth. go ahead ask, i just might have it. George 53.

hooookay, what does it mean no small parts? I wanted to order the roadrunner 6 pak conversion,the aar conversion and the hemi cuda hood and scoop. does this mean they are no longer available? if they aren't who else has them?I sure do hope I can still get them.George53

Jr73, the bee chassis pics look great you got the rear wells down pat. I personaly think the engine compartment looks good too.If your going for the daily driver look, I think the stock seats with shoulder harness would look ok but thats my own opinion, either way it's looking good,GREAT JOB! George53.

I just wanted to say thanks to you Greg for this website,Because of it I'm enjoying my retirement so much more.I really thought it would be a drag .After 33years of getting up and going to work I really thought I'd be bored, but I've met so many cool people it really seems to be working out ok.Ipromise not to bitch about late mags or nothin anymore.I'm learning "grassopper"patience and becoming a better all around person too, may Madam Pelee bless you my bro,George53.
