You can find pics of all three years in my '53-'57 Corvettes Album '53 engine... '54 engine...

Wow - I can't believe you guys have never seen a '57 Lincoln, it wasn't just Chrysler products that had quad headlights...

It takes more than decals to add '68 trim and GTE specific hood, grille and tailights! Yes R&d (Mini-Exotics) used to make one...

Terry Here's what I posted for Albert... Click for instructions

Albert When you post on a forum the html is different from the way you have used on the other board. From your Fotki account follow these steps, click on the thumbnail, now while viewing the mid-size image click on the box that says "Share photo", that will add some code options under the image but you want to click on "more sharing options", use the html in the "Code for Forums" box and you're good to go. One advantage of doing it this way is that your pics will also be "clickable" to take visitors to your album! Let me know if you have any questions! Here's an example, click on it and you'll see what I mean...

Too Cool to see all these, thanks again for this thread Jairus! Remembering all these from my younger days got me to looking around the web to find some more of the history of various artists. Here's a three-part article published shortly after Pete Millar's death that acurately chronicles his trials and tribulations as a cartoonist... Part 1 http://www.competitionplus.com/02_18_2004/pete_millar.html Part 2 http://www.competitionplus.com/03_25_2004/pete_millar.html Part 3 http://www.competitionplus.com/04_15_2004/pete_millar3.html Within the article are other interesting links that will provide more of the history! Enjoy

Hey Albert Glad to see you here!

Matt - I hate to disappoint you but Tamiya sold & moved out of their USA Headquarters building earlier this year and downsized considerably into a much smaller space. I think this was one of the major factors that has postponed TamiyaCon. If I hear anything I'll let you know.

This is fun, amazing what collectors are willing to pay for these issues now! For those of you who didn't live through this era here's a link to the history of CARtoons by Ro McGonegal... http://www.hotrod.com/thehistoryof/cars_in...tory/index.html

My choices, #2 and combine #1 & #6

Nice idea Jairus - if you're looking for more covers or info on Cartoons and George Trosley try this site... http://www.georgetrosley.com/cartoons.html

Rick I keep forgetting to tell you that my Mom was Executive Producer on the Hot Wheels Cartoon series, that was part of how I met Larry Wood back in '69. We can talk about it when we get together for lunch.

I'm sure you've seen the Yat Ming 1:24 '41 GMC for comparison...

FYI here's a pic of the 1:1 with the doors open... ...and the wheels... ...and more pics of the 1:1 here.

Having shot that one a few years ago I had an advantage on my answer - if you want to know more about it here's his website... http://socalook.com/index.shtml ...and here's a few pics from about 4 years ago... ...click on the pics to see more!

That truck is amazing! - Here's a few more shots from it's west coast visit a couple months ago...

Good quality and fast service every time I've ordered from them.

I'll throw my two cents in here too - I use a custom built PC similar to what Cal has and have had no problems either. I have been involved with graphics for years and because of business needs have stayed on the PC side. Nothing against Macs but in the past software came out much later for Macs, maybe 6-12 months later and business apps weren't workable. Running XP Pro with 4gb of ram works well for me. Brian - the uses and applications you describe don't really justify your need for anything newer, change Win2k to XP Pro, add some ram and you'll be happy. Keep in mind that you'll have to update all that software to a Mac version too - $$$$. Most of all I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to get.

Here's something along the lines you're talking about... ...Modelhaus sells the "Turret Top" hardtop roof section to do the roof like this.

Me too - if you're ever looking for pics of it there are a bunch in this album, directly from Mercedes' archives...

These were produced by All American Models...

Rod & Custom Models only lasted for 8 issues, here's the first cover - click on the pic to see the rest!

Here it is as a hardtop...

I have one of the Mini-Exotics kits... ...let me know if you are interested. Lots more in my Resin Albums
