espo

I have enjoyed how you have expressed your inner most feelings about these developing future leaders of our society. After seeing the pictures you have provided I now understand why it is I haven't seen any of these people around here, If they were sighted in any drinking establishment or restaurant in this area we would be seeing the aftermath on the 10 PM news for sure.

I guess I've led a sheltered life, just not familiar with any of these problems that you seem to have. I guess there is something to be said for living in a "Fly Over State".

The engine looks good. Very well detailed with the different colors you used.

That's a great way to get a chassis done. On your tires, I don't know if you're familiar with the AMT tires from Round 2 ? That seems to be the measurements of there 8 tire Racemaster Slicks kit. They offer Wide Whites, one side only, Whit Letter, Narrow White Walls and White Wall with a Red Stripe. They have the "Pie Crust" design if that will help.

Nice save on the A pillar. What else have you got in mind for this ??

The Pubs need to hire some Bouncers whos knuckles drag the ground when they stand erect, problem solved.

I'm glad to see that you're using Solar Panels. I just don't understand peoples thought process when they buy an Electric Car and then plug it into the wall to get their "Fuel" that comes from a Coal Power plant.

A couple of ideas on your Headlight Bezel color. You could brush on some Flat Clear. I have used Tamiya XF-16 Flat Aluminum or X-32 Titanium Silver for such trim.

There is a tool with a suction cup on the end that is designed for picking up and handling very small parts. I would check HL and your local Model Shops and see if they have anything on that order. I had a similar problem with the rear window on a '50 Olds build and a '57 Chevy Bel Air side window that came out. I used a product called Quick Release that I got at HL. These are plastic sticks about 3" long with a rubbery sticky end that you can use to grab and hold the window in place till the glue sets.

Great build. Very well thought out with the wrecker rigging and all the other details.

Very nice looking. I can't remember the last time I saw one of these built. Great job getting the correct look of an interesting little car.

Your build looks just like the picture. I remember seeing this picture in Hot Rod Deluxe. If he went down at speed I don't think he would even need to worry about a helmet since the salt would rip every inch of his skin off anyway.

Thank you for the heads up on this product. I had never seen this product before. As Snake45 pointed out there are many ways that this could be used.

Great looking paint and color. Nicely detailed interior and engine. Like so many others who enjoy these cars I got to own one. I was the second and forth owner and drove it for 18 years. Still regret selling it.

Great looking build. I like how the side stripes blend with the body color. At least on my screen it seems Potobucket is holding some of your pictures hostage.

You might want to drop down this page and look for What you would like to see as a model by jeroen3 from Dec. 3. Some interesting requests but also some very creative Box Art that some of the people who showed their ideas with a Photo Shopped Box Art of what they wanted.

Have you tried contacting Revell about this ?? It is probably something they already know about and only Revell could give you an accurate answer.

I like your build idea. Very impressive engine room detailing. I'm looking at the Radiator Over Flow Tank and wondering how you got such a realistic finish on it.

Hay man, calm down. You could always dress up as the Grinch just to mess with them.

I have to agree with the others here, this seems to be a well researched and written article. I hope you are able to get the city to do something in her honor. It is very sad what happened to this young girl, and unfortunately this same type of thing still is happening today. I truly which it all was different both then and now.

The Mirrors are always a problem. What I described is how I pack my models when I go to a show. I have had to reattach some small trim parts in the past when I got to the show so this may not work for you.

Since you're going to ship your model I would also suggest protecting the model inside the cover also. I would use a very soft towel or something on that order that would not scratch the paint surface. The cover could be attached with a rubber band or some tape. Then place the case in a larger box with some foam particles from UPS or Office Depot I think sells them.

Do they have any information on the box ??

Beautiful looking Chevy. Great paint job and I also like the modified engine. My father had a '41 coupe before he was drafted. He got a '46 or '47 after the War and sold it to get a new '49 Ford. I have a suggestion on your skirt mounting problem. I have seen were other builders have used magnets to hold a door shut. I think if you were to glue a magnet inside the body and a couple of very small magnets on the back side of the skirts that could work.

My Wife and I had planed to be in San Antonio the week to visit the River Walk. Her work just didn't allow us the time off at this time. I got up this morning and turned on the TV News. First picture on screen when they're talking about the weather is a picture of the Alamo which is just across the street from where we stay on the River Walk and it's SNOWING ! What Thaa ?? Glad now we staid home.
