Guys, I have known Gregg for a couple of years longer than he brought out the magazine. He is an honest honorable guy. He has said numerous times that your subscriptions will be honored. If you have 5 issues left, you will get 5 issues. Maybe this will get all of your attentions. KNOCK OFF THE GRIPING ABOUT YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS !!!!!!!! YOU WILL GET THEM !!!!

Has there been n announcement for those of us NOT signed up for Paypal?

I never had the Brabham - Matra kit, but I think one was F2 nd the other F3, not Formula 1 cars.

There was a post somewhere about that . It was taken by a diver in a shark cage. It is real.

There are a number of groups of pictures on Facebook. Steve Hinson, Roy Sorenson, and another (I forget the name) have posted so far.

I thought the Dyno Don Comet was the same as the Model King kit. That would make it a '67 with a non-stock grille.

How about a Ferrari 250 Lusso or Cobra Daytona ?

There is more to the road race Piranha than that, The Man From UNCLE car had a one-of-a-kind nose and tail. All other Piranhas were more like the drag car.

I have developed a couple of medical issues that will keep me home this time. Nothing life threatening, but I can't bend my knee to get into either a car, bus, or airplane.

I zip through it with the sound off. "the cool stuff about this is..uh.. .let me read the box to you because I don't know anything about it".

Barb Roufs has been deceased for about 30 years. RIP.

Too funny!

Before Round 2 can reissue the Tow'd, they have to realize tht the engine and gearbox are in the Depth Charger and its sister kits.

I use the coupon on my phone because I don't get the newspaper, so once it is scanned I can't use it until the next day. Besides, I was just pointing out the options for the use of the 20% off sale, not discussing various tactics for using the 40% off coupon. As many have observed, all Hobby Lobby stores do not operate the same way. My store will not charge full price and the 40% off coupon on a sale item, for example.

Tom, you sort of touched on the reason that I didn't mention- time. Besides the time standing in line, it takes me about 40 minutes to do a round trip to HL and it takes about $2.50 in gas ( I live in CA). Also, using a coupon three times means three trips to HL. Even if I go there when we are running errands, the HL is not close to our other shopping locations.

One thing needs to be said. If you buy 3 or more kits that are the same price, the 20% off is cheaper. If one kit is more expensive than the others, the 20% off is better when the cheaper kits add up to more than the most expensive one. if the kits are the same price, there is no difference when you buy 2 kits at 20% or 1 kit at 40% and 1 kit at full price.

Looks good, my friend!

Consider yourself surprised, Casey! Why have all of the vintage decals & stuff if you can't replicate the OI box art?

There are three good guys in that photo, in my humble opinion.

That's kind of like saying that there's no more GMC, Cadillac, Chevrolet or Buick because they are all under General Motors. Yes, the companies ceased to be independent and are no longer owned by the founders, but remember that the ORIGINAL Ford company prior to 1903 changed its name to Cadillac before being merged into the newly created General Motors.

A guy who called Pearson "a friend' posted it a few minutes ago.Another great one is lost.

Sadly, Dave's house was destroyed in the 1989 Loma Prieta (San Francisco) earthquake. I herd that he lost everything, so it is possible tht these models no longer exist.

WOW! Pics from more than 4 weeks in the future! Congratulations on the trophies and the functioning time machine! LOL

I think Garlits and the crew have the ability to do the job correctly, but as my brother in law said after visiting the museum, "They don't exactly appreciate historical accuracy. To them they're just old race cars". I think that if it is supposed to be THE Drag Racing Museum and it goes to the trouble to obtain the original cars, there is a disservice being done to the history of the sport if incorrect "restorations" are done. If the cars aren't restored authentically, why not sell them to somebody who will do it right and use the money to build cars "inspired" by the originals?

I would take the pics from the Garlits Museum with a grain of salt. Not that they didn't get the paint job correct-there is no fogging at the bottom of the body. I don't think they were TOO historically accurate with the restoration.
