REAL......... uhhhh sorry Harry,my bad. that's NEXT week.

Actually just noticed you put the spoiler on the trunklid. My Dad wouldn't let me drill the holes in the trunk for that, otherwise I'da done that too!!! :lol:

Paint it Grecian Green, and you got my first car! I put Z/28 emblems on the front and rear, and the same way you got them on yours, i had on mine. Gotta lean WAY over the fenders to get in behind the wheelwell( to be able to reach the studs on the emblems) I had Cragar S/S mags on the front and Ansen Sprint Mags on the rear. Probably one of my favorite cars I've ever owned, besides my 69 Charger R/T an 69 Super B. I didn't have the stripes your does though, didn't care for them on the Z's. Your little Nova looks cool, just like mine did! :D

I'm kinda with Chuck, as much as I like Chevy's, A 440 Mope is nuthin to sneeze at even if it IS a four door!!!! AND it WOULD be different, no doubt!!!

It's COOL, I like it. It is rather funny that they'd put an Aero wing on it for downforce with that brick front end, but hey, it sure don't take ANYTHING away from a cool idea!!!!

It's only a good deal if ya got it for cheap. You CAN still find that kit on the Bay for THEIR stupid prices, so IF you got a deal on it, you made out!!! Glad ta hear it!!!

Christian, My first car was a 52 Chevy Delux 2 dr, an it had an added on steering column turn signal unit. It was a funny lookin little box, about 3 in x 3 in, with two green lights mounted in it, for left and right sides and I thought it was kinda strange that it was mounted like that, caz the cars I drove in drivers Ed in High School all had dash mounted turn signal lights IN the dasboard, not mounted to the steering column.

WElcome, Jim. Don't feel bad,brother, I been buildin over 50 years an I can't hold a candle to some of these guys!! Just sit back and learn, caz there ain't no teacher like expeirience! I learned/am learning ALOT from these guys, and it's STILL fun for me. Hope you enjoy it here.

WOW! Talk about silk from a sow's ear!!!!! VERY nice.

Actually, I like YOUR styling moreso than the original wagons style!!! VERY nice lookin so far.

No pics, Ron????

I use Model Round Up mostly, Jack is cool to talk with, an I get my large scale aircraft from Squadron shops. Been buying from them for over 30 years. Oh an yeah, I find alot of stuff on the Evil Bay.

At least THAT would be fairer an it does make sense. For just one person to be able to pull the plug on a member here IS kinda one sided. So if I'm not liked ,it only takes one person to ban me??? Not a good plan at all, to me. Glad I get along with Gregg an Harry pretty well. Never had the chance to talk at length with Romel, and I never talked with that other mod EVER till he gruffly told me i was out of place. Didn't think I was but, hey, THAT'S the way the game is played here. Still ain't leavein, so I guess I'll just watch an see how it goes. Sometimes nuthin changes but the date.

Yeah it can. I myself mod a site where there are three of us, and we DO confide in each other to make decisions on how our forum will be run. But this is NOT MY forum, so, like I said, I'll play nice. Hopefully I won't get banned for havein fun!

Thanks, Harry, that's not what I was hopeing to hear but I guess it makes sense. So the rule must be we have to watch what we say, even IF WE DON'T think it's being rude or disrespectful? Like I said before It's kinda hard to relax and have fun when you DON'T know what some folks hang ups are. It could get me banned just for bein myself and havein fun. I guess too many mods DO spoil the soup. Oh well, Imma just be me and just have my fun,like I always have, you know by now I never mean any harm, unless someone attacks me personally. But that's cool, I can play nice.

And again, THANKS Dave, it was worth the wait!!!! Folks, the pics DO NOT do the paint on this little gem justice! It IS downright BEAUTIFUL!!!!! :D :D

Of course not Chuck, he's gotta Ford in there! WELCOME, Jamie!!!

Harry, Some stuff goin on here is kinda funny. The other day, we were talking about the Rolls they want to sell in china. You made a comment, I made a comment, nothing malicious, at least i didn't think it was, and I gotta rather gruff PM from a mod who took me to taks about my comment because he claimed to be of chinese decent! He told me he did not like my post, so it was deleted. I don't care, I just thought it rather odd that now we have to please a certain moderators ego. I said NOTHING bad about the folks and it was just in a conversation on a thread, but he evidently took it personally, like it had been directed at him. It wasn't and it wasn't derogetory, he just didn't like what i said, so he deleted it. Must be nice to just delete stuff one doesn't care for. Also goes to show how some folks personal peeves can kinda take the fun out of things. Yeesh, it was a pleasent conversation between forum members, and like I said, I didn't say anything bad about the chinese people, just thought it was funny that they chose China as the country to introduce it in, caz it seems they got all the money these days. Was that a no-no to say???

Yeah,Harry, not anymore at least. But even the early versions DID have a sit able back seat. I mean not EVERY Cuda Camaro and Mustang back then were bought by young folks. My buddys parents drove a fastback Mustang and another buddy's Dad had a Z-28, and they were FAR from bein kids. But like I said it would be nice ta see the name back again!

Yeah, it was smaller, Harry, I had freinds who had some, but if there's no room in the back seat of the Chally, WHERE'S the people gonna sit in a Cuda?? If it is a shorter car, then they'll kill ANY legroom for backseat passengers.The Challys backseat is only good for kids! I'm 5'4 and it was even too claustropobic to ME!!! Still, it WOULD be nice to see a 'Cuda again!

HOw much smaller can they make it? the new chally's backseat is even SMALLER than the old ones, and it's a bigger car to boot! Don't see them bringin a new car out just for the name, heck, todays kids don't even know what a Cuda is, I don't believe. Would it actually be shorter than a Challenger? Caz THAT'S a big car!

Welp, it took a little while, but I finally got my SUPER CUSTOM PAINTED Manx today!!! VW Dave (Carnavale) painted it for me too!!!! It's a BEAUTY, in a deep metallic blue. Glad I waited and it's gonna get built with a white interior an 5 spoke Cragar S/S's!! THANKS AGAIN, Dave!!!!

VERY nice job Martin. The only give aways I could see were the car is a bit sharper than the background, and the windsheild on the Firebird is kinda canted in at the top. But other than that, it came out pretty good. YOUR pretty good at it, so gettin back into the groove shouldn't be too hard!! Oh, and WELCOME back!!!!

ALWAYS a GREAT show for anybody in the Deeetroy area. It's one of the biggest if not THE biggest toyshow/model car show in the Metro area!!! :D

Wow! it came out nice in BOTH versions!!! I have one of those layin around, but it's not a rockford car. BUT it soon could be! I like the gold color!!! It actually looks like it coulda been a photo shopped pic in the second one with the trailer house. Was it????
