Beautiful looking build and the colors are the best looking Beige 's I can remember seeing.

Amazing mixture of parts and the chassis is well engineered also. Very modern look to the Willys body.

They both look great. Knowing that the Revell is a much newer tool, I wonder if you have any feelings as to one being better than the other ?

That is a novel and fitting way to do that.

For the most part yes. I use the TS line of spray paints and they don't really state on the can weather or not it's Acrylic that I can see. The brush bottle paints are Acrylic thou.

I have used the Tamiya Accent paint on engines, chrome and chassis and drive line components and have been happy with the results. The only thing is I use almost Tamiya paints only and this may be the difference.

You just can't beat Mother Nature when it comes to the bazar.

This looks just as you described it. All of the right finishes in all the right places.

The wood trim on the dash looks perfect with the Custom Interior package.

Great looking paint jobs. I like the subdued body panel lines, they look more realistic this way.

The first time I had any Floaters, and not being sure what was going on, I would try and focus on them as they moved. Later in life when I needed to get glasses was the first time I began to understand what they were. I get a few maybe once or twice a year but they don't seem to be a problem beyond that.

Great looking build. You may find yourself under Other Race Cars soon. You're right about a lot of extra parts in this kit. My thought would be they have one set of parts for all of the kits in this series and just change the body depending on what the car body was supposed to be.

The color looks great.

The kit should include both the stock valve covers and the fined aluminum covers you mention. The stock intake, carb., and air cleaner should be there as well. What may make them difficult to identify is their unique shape. The stock covers have an additional cover molded into them that runs the length of the valve cover. This represents the method that Oldsmobile used to guide the spark plug wires over the top of the valve covers. Look closely on the decal sheet and you will find two small "Oldsmobile" decals in red that would go on the top of that cover.

Iron Resurrection is another good one Man, Man I like the dialog up to a point man if you know what I mean man.

I like the distressed looking paint finish. Very well done trailer also. That and the Cycle make the perfect "Pull Toy" for the Delivery. The Delivery interior looks like fun also.

Looks great. I like how you went with the Tempest 4 cyl engine. Most of this body style are only seen on the Drag Strip in an Altered class. Well done on the paint work and I also like the interior colors .

If you get a chance to see one of his reruns I think you may come to appreciate just how different his persona is from all the other programs. As I mentioned before it is amazing to watch what he can do with a few tools and what is in his head.

The Air Bags seem to take up the least amount of space. With it up on the wheels and tires you start to get a better feel for how it's going to look.

Ya tell him there is a special paint for that, it's called "Time in a bottle".

Well our first vacation in a few years just wound up in the "pull chain facility" We were all paid and signed up to go on a Jeep Jamboree at Land between the Lakes Kentucky next month. We have been there several times before and the area is great in everyway and many acres of Off Road Park to explore. Yesterday we get an E Mail from Jeep Jamboree telling use that they were refunding us everything except a $97.00 fee for their inconvenience for having to cancel the Jamboree. They claim that we were notified at the end of July but we are unable to find any E Mails from them on the subject. Based on this we had reserved and paid for a cabin thru Rent by Owner. Because of the time frame of canceling the rental we are now out half of that cost. We called Jeep Jamboree in California and the guy just keeps giving us the run around and told us to send our questions in an E Mail and then gives us a bogus E Mail address. Phone calls today to try to make human contact have gone unanswered. While they have told us this event has been canceled effective July 28 as of noon today they still have it listed on their web site as open for sign up. I would suggest any one here that has any Jamborees that they're signed up for this year should be proactive with them. I think that there may even be bigger issues with the organization at this time based on the manor in which they are reacting at this time. We have attended many of these events going back over a decade and they have always been a pleasure to deal with at all times. The way they are acting at this time has me thinking they are having some very big operational issues and keeping a fee for their inconvenience when they cancelled the event and not returning 100 % plus not letting us know in a more timely manor so that we're not out the cost of lodging is unacceptable to me.

I enjoyed watching this come together. You always do "Old" so well on your builds. I like looking at all the little touches here and there .

I believe it. If you recall your teen years can be difficult at best and he always played the music we enjoyed and while he would be a little goofy at times he was always a positive influence on the air and that might have been why he was so popular with us as teens.

I'll have to do that. I was in high school at the time and lived out in what was then consider the "sticks". I think we all felt like we knew him, he was that type of a DJ, but no I never got to meet him. That said if he's still doing radio he must not of been any older than we were at that time.

I would just rip the door decals off of it and display it as a work in progress or sale just as is. Sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Violent city streets and all.
