James, did that modification make the hood to narrow ? Carl, that sign looks like just what I need. Next time I go to Hobby Lobby I will have to look for it.

I lived the first 27 years of my life in and around Chicago. I am now in Arizona and sometimes I miss the snow. Then I remember having to mount snow tires, going out 15 minutes early to try and start the car and turn the heat on, frozen door locks, wipers frozen to the windshield, having a scraper in your car with a plastic scraper on one end and a broom on the other end. Oh how about the big clumps of snow that would pile up on the fenders behind the wheels. Cars getting stuck in the snow and helping push out. Calling the service station for a jump to get your car started. I worked at a Texaco gas station for awhile and I would go out with my boss in his International scout with a snow plow and a jumper unit. We would have about 10 calls on a run and when you went to a call other people on the block would pour out of their homes needing a jump. It was crazy busy. Then go back to the station for another list. No cell phones and he did not have a 2 way radio. On second thought maybe I don't miss the snow and cold weather.

When I started this thread I had just spent some time on another forum. In addition to models I also collect firearms. When I was reading some posts there I saw over and over again that someone had made a post in the simular " What did you get " section. I can't tell you how many times I have seen replies like "that's junk" or "why did you buy that piece of BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH" or "you should have bought a (fill in the blank ). You get none of that here that I have noticed. Here there is a level of respect and support that is just not all that common. That is why this is my favorite place to come and just enjoy the company of like minded people.

Nice job, it looks great.

Bologna............ that's a real car ! : ) Very nice.

I look forward to watching this build. I had the kit many years ago and my results were........ lets just say it wasn't pretty. I'm sure you will do better.

Very interesting. I wondered why that thing looked so weird. So will this be another wip in which you show us your progress ?????? I hope.

Cool can be subjective. would you settle for strange ???? : )

I really like that.

Sweet !

Nice !

Hey John, very mild winters here in Arizona. Drive her out here and I will keep her in my garage. Just leave me the keys in case I have to move it to get at something. : ) I always need to get at something.

Very cool looking model.

I joined this forum a couple of years ago because I was getting the magazine ( as well as the other one ) for several years and I have a love for model cars and the great ideas that come from members. This place is really much more than a model car site to me. It is a gathering of friends who may never meet but are there for you. It really impresses me how when someone ( including myself ) posts something about a happy event in their lives or in some cases a sad event many people step up and offer support. To me in my mind this is a huge deal. Everybody needs a little support now and then and who would think you could get that from a model car site. I have posted both happy and sad events in my personal and without fail I always got support from the members here. Do not underestimate the power of your responces to these types of posts. I can tell you that they do mean more than you may think. Thanks to all for being a great bunch of guys that I am proud to be a member with. Ok that's my sapiness ( is that a word ? ) for the day.

I did a dry test fit and the front clip does indeed fit rather poorly but it is fixable. Itching to get started on this but have been busy puting up the outside Christmas lights and decorations. Still have other stuff I need to get done till I can devote time to this wip. Have to put up the tree ( artifical pre lit ) other inside decorations, shampoo a couple of rooms carpets and install a new surround sound system. Good thing I'm retired. : )

Wow ! Looks fantastic !

Thats great Ben, make sure you show us your progress and the finished product.

Cool car. Like the use of a 6.

Very sharp.

Very wild Rich. Are you a drinking man ? : ) 59 Chevy taillights as headlights ??? Yes ??

Hey John is that a 63 T-bird with a Banchee roof ? Very cool looking ride.

What the heck is that cop doing with his left hand ??????

Looks great Chris.

That is way beyond cool ! Very nice work.

Got this today for my wife. If I'm good maybe she will let me watch it too. : )
