Craig Irwin Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Hi guys, I tried to sign up a couple of years ago but was never able to get signed in. I always got a message that "another member has that e-mail" or something like that. I got another E-mail address and hear I am. I recognize some of your names from that other forum, but I haven't been active over there for years. I build 1/25 cars, mostly replica stock. I like almost anything from before 1972 or so. Not into Nascar, drag racings my thing. Really like Camaros, Mopars and air cooled VW's. And I still own the Meyers Manx (yes, a real one) I drove to high school. I live in central Indiana. Anyone going to the Circle City show this Saturday?

Craig Irwin Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 This was a few weeks ago at Larry's off road centers fall show. It has a top and curtains But I'm afraid of someone sliding on the ice and hitting it so most winter driving is out. 100_1771.jpg (104.11K)
Custom Hearse Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 NICE!!!! That is one good looking buggy you have there. I like the Keystones on it!
VW Dave Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Welcome aboard, Craig; it's cool to find another builder with similar interests(I'm also into ACVW's and Mopars, and I have a real Manx as well). I'm looking forward to seeing your work....and of course, more pics of the Manx. Do you frequent any of the 1:1 VW boards?
Craig Irwin Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 Dave, is your Manx still gell coat too? I'm on thesamba and dunebuggyarchives as manxcraig.
VW Dave Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Dave, is your Manx still gell coat too? I'm on thesamba and dunebuggyarchives as manxcraig. It is indeed in the original gelcoat, Craig; it still shines up nicely when asked: I'm 'plasticman1432' on TheSamba, and I long ago forgot my ID on the DBA site.

BigGary Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Welcome aboard Craig. You'll find things a bit different here. Nothing like the other place. If you haven't built a model of your buggy yet, the Keystones are in the Revell '68 Charger, and you can send the rest of the kit to me. Gary

Craig Irwin Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Boy, what a welcome! Thanks guys! I haven't finished a model in years, but I sure do start a lot of them, I hope to change that now that summers over. I have "advanced modelers syndrome", I can't build a kit as intended, it must be reworked into something else. That could be why its been so long sense I've finished one! Gary, I do have a couple of Manx kits waiting, but they need to have some inaccuracy problems fixed (see what I mean?), and I bought some MRC Keystone wheel sets way back when. So I guess I'll have to build that Charger myself. (nice try thoe) As I said, I've been lurking for quite some time now and I see that this forum is a bit more "adult" than the one ran by the that other model magazine.
Harry P. Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like that guy on the magazine covers...
