  1. I agree with Casey! Do it NOW ,and DON'T let this foo get away with rippin OTHER good folks off!!!
  2. Did you notice the tailights were of a different styleing that the 63 Tempest Funny car? When I alterd mine back to stock, I didn't know there were two different taillight treatments, depending on model. THEN I saw THIS particular styled rearend in CC/HR magazine, an decided to do IT. Thanks to ALL the guys who helped me find the second kit!
  3. The wagon looks like a Mercedes, the coupe is an Avanti.(Origenally made by Studebaker! YEAH, STUDEBAKER!!! Nice, isn't it???)
  4. I don't think I've paid an MSRP since the 60's! When K-Mart used to sell models, even their prices weren't MSRP prices. The box said 2.00 but the K-mart price was 1.50! So, in all honesty I haven't paid MSRP since the late 60's, early 70's BEFORE all the discount stores came into being. I'll NEVER pay MSRP's NOW. I'll get them on line or use the Micheal's, JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby coupons. Even my friend Tom, who's also a vendor/member of our club doesn't charge MSRP for his kits. I paid 22 bucks for my Mobius Chrysler 300, which I felt was fair.
  5. Sorry to hear of the loss,Johnny.
  6. Very VERY smooth conversion!!!! Looks like it was factory stock! Only thig I could see was the dash, Being a Merc, it shoulda had the Cougar dash. But hey, that's just me, an it in NO WAY takes ANYTHING away from it, it's STILL an VERY nicely built model!!!!
  7. Hey, Me an Jeff an Kev an Todd ALL resemble that remark!!! :lol: :lol:
  8. Only stock 41 Chevy I know of is a die cast by Danbury Mint. Testors does a Hot Rodded version too. RMR makes a BEAUTIFULLY CHOPPED 41 chevy that's VERY nice. Danbury Mints 41 is about 130 bucks or so, The Testors Die Cast is about 21 bucks at Micheals Craft Stores and RMR's is about 40 bucks or so. Hth.
  9. Yep, thats the Tank alright!
  10. Real! ...... OOps, sorry, my bad, wrong contest!
  11. BIG time bummer, LoLo! Hope he's feelin better REAL soon!!!
  12. I GOTTA go with Danno on THIS one! That drain cleaner is some NASTY stuff! Even just the FUMES will hurt you! I use "Simple Green", it works for me, but MANY other products will do the same thing WITHOUT the harmfull effects!!! Honestly, go with the safer stuff, savein a few minutes is NOT worth the results of a simple acciden/mistake. That stuff WILL BURN YOUR SKIN ON CONTACT!!!!
  13. Great job, but Daddy-O, the blanket goes on the seats!An I like it too, is it a decal???
  14. Uh, Junkman, I THINK you said it right when you called it POLYstyrene. TWO different chemicals. An like I said, If it WAS harmfull , welp, I'm up ship creek!!!!! :lol:
  15. Other than some kinda oil I have NO idea at all. Hey, as long as it glues is cool with me. Been doin it for so long, anything that can affect me ,ALREADY has!!!!(maybe THAT'S my problem!!! LOL!!!!) :lol:
  16. ANOTHER GREAT example of "Just caz ya can, don't mean ya should....." :lol:
  17. Ask "Mr. 1/16th" Santiago Hernandez. He's built a functioning airbag systen in 1/16th if I'm not mistaken. He's a member here.
  18. If ya'll DON'T know who/what my avatar is, welp, I guess you just don't know who/what he is all about. No big deal.
  19. Yep, BOTH the 66 T-Bird AND 66 Mustang have them!!!
  20. THANKS guys! I'mma hafta get my daughter to look into all your suggestions for me. Doesn't seem to be happening so far this morning. Looked into a coupla threads to see if it was still actin silly, but so far, so good. Maybe it was just yesterday, an they finally got their act together! Thanks for ALL the suggestions fellas!!!
  21. Thank You Casey! I appericiate that!
  22. That style of LeMans is cast by RMR resins. It's actually a Can Am coupe, and it looks pretty good after a little TLC. It doesn't FALL together, but with some patience an good refrence pics it builds into a pretty good lookin kit. Oh yeah, it's pretty complete, you add a motor, wheels an tires , an your good to go. HTH
  23. Wish I WAS drankin Roge(quit 25 years ago) But the post by Jeff 396 did it too. NOW i see he's askin what kind of browser I'm useing. What's a browser? I just got on here this morning and it's actin weird(yes, even weirder than ME!) You think it'll just go away, like it came, or is there somethin I can do about it? THANKS!
  24. Is it just ME, or are you guys seein unposted posts? It LOOKS like someone wanted to reply to some posts, but only part of the post posted! I mean, like I can see the TOP part of the words but not the bottoms. Makes for very difficult reading. Is this happening to anyone else? This is the only forum it's happening on. You guys got problems?
