Not to contradict you, after all, it IS your model, but if that's a Rat Rod, it's the nicest one I've ever seen. There's NOTHING about it that could even be called "Ratty" it's much too well done! The paint especially. Very nice, but not REALLY a Rat Rod.

In my room till I was about 15. Then I got the whole basement to myself! We had a finished basement with a pool table, and I'd put a 4x8 sheet of plywood over it and I was in HEAVEN!!!! This lasted till I left for the service, and when I got home, my wife had us a two bedroom apt. ready, and she was cool with my models. Always has been.

Monica Sowers is the person I had to tell E-Bay about when I put my complaint in for not getting my 68 GTO body about 5 years ago. I've NEVER heard ANYTHING good about them, OTHER than they DO have good products. Such a shame, I won't ever deal with them again, caz I've LEARNED my lesson!

As I said before, this is too cool! What scale is it in? If it's 25th, theres a lotta detail! If it's 1/8th it's still cool, caz there's alotta detail in it too!

The junkyard is really cool, but where'd you get the diner? This whole Dio is just too cool!

Goin with REAL on this'n. An it's probably been a hunnert years since there's been THAT MUCH open land in San Francisco!!!!

The Wagon Rod has an LT-5 Corvette engine.

Well then I guess that's a no go for me. Last time I dealt with AFX was over two tears ago. It took ALL of 9 months to get my 68 GTO body, and threats from E-bay to get it!! Won't EVER trust THEM again. Any OTHER sources for this body/ I'd REALLY like a post coupe 67/8/9 Dart!!!

VERY nice. ALL of Chryslers Styling depts were bustin some butt when it came to good lookin cars in the late 60's! This was my first choice a 68 Barracuda with a 383 automatic. My dad saw the engine an said, "Nope, motors TOO big!" I ended up gettin a 69 Nova SS 350(The motor was smaller!) You did a GREAT job on it. I kinda remember AMT's 1/32? 43? scale Barracuda looked something like this. I like it!

My brother in laws work van looks just like that, rust an all, only it says Anthos Home Improvement on it an it's Robin's Egg blue(a REALLY PALE blue!) GREAT job on this!!!

You gotta PM !

Jim,Jim,Jim, when you talk like this, you date us! The cars don't even exist any more, but we still remember the nicknames we gave 'em, hu? Hadn't heard that name in MANY a year now! Your Baccaruda came out real nice!

Uhhhh Greg, you went PAST good,Brother that rascal came out GREAT! :D

I have 6 66 Chevelles, they were my favorite cars as a kid(Till Chrysler bough out the 68 thru 70 B-Bodies!) Only have one built, but it has been one of my favorite kits since they released it.

the "Old Pro" Nova from AMT has a tunnel ram thats pretty adaptable. the old JoHan Sox an Martin Cuda has a real nice tunnel ram too. There's probably a few more too, Oh the 66 Nova has a nice one too, but these are all i can think of right off the bat.Hth.

Well, I gotta be a lemming too, caz I think this rascal is the shizznitz!!!! It came out GREAT!

Actually, it looks ALOT more realistic as compared to the "Wire hinge" method! Thanks for posting this!

From what I've heard, LMK does thier own plateing. I don't believe their dipped. Chrome Tech sends theirs OUT to be chromed, hence the once a month schedule. I've heard + and = about them both, so unless the SERVICE is better from one than the other, I'd say they're both about the same.

Go to Staples and buy the Sharpies in different colors an you can color the wires any color you need.(as long as you have the right color Sharpie!)

I'm from Deeeetroy, across the river from Pat in Canada! We ONLY use our guns to DEFEND the U.S. from them hooligans from CANADA! WE protect ALL your butts! :lol: :lol:

Charlie, the 69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator kit has a VERY nice 351 Cleveland 4 bbl with a 4spd trans in it.

They ARE still in buisness caz I bought from him at the last toyshow here in Detroit, at the MCCC toyshow/swapmeet, in April.

Plus, IF yu subscribe and your missed an issue, OR it gets damaged by the USPS, the NICE ladies at Golden Bell will gladly send you a NEW one!!!!

Danbury Mint has this one? I just bought one EXACTLY like the Red, new pick-up at our local flea market for only 5 bucks, with opening doors, hood and a straight six! Definately NOT Danbury,or Franklin mint quality, but a nice lookin model just the same! Your "Rustbucket" looks GREAT!
