Boy, Jimmy, see what you caused ?! Nice build...dont know all the termanology all the other guys use, heck I'm still havin trouble posting pics. Gosh, I hope I am never accused of posting a build that I did not do. That just would not set right with me ! I'm 61 and I find it kinda petty to do such !! As old Jack once said "why can'nt we all...just...get along " ? Nice build Jimmy and there are other show and tell sites !!

Dont hijack Jimmys thread with all your talk of Barris and Customs/Kustoms.... If you need to debate that, start a new thread.

I dont understand the "welcome" Jimmy got here. Trouble with his username, trouble that he spelled custom with a K, and accused of not building his model. Geez guys... Come on, is that the kind of welcome we should give newcomers?

Well Jimmy, welcome on the board. I like your model, nice job, and nice choice of color. I dont doubt that you built it yourself.

Like some of the guys said, be sure to align the wheels and tires, otherwise a very nice model :)

Jimmy,

Nice build there and keep working on your skills and it will show. Slow down when you are typing and we will all be able to better understand what you are telling us! :)

Now, a couple of observations and not meant to stir the pot:

Dave- not sure where your comments came from, it sure looks like something a teenager would build to me. As far as WIP pics, I am not sure if Jimmy was thinking about those when he started this kit. I certainly don't think to take WIP pics, too dang busy trying to finish SOMETHING ! Think of how your words must have felt when Jimmy read them. Has anyone ever asked you to prove you are the builder of the models in your posts, Dave? I enjoy your models and think you are very creative but for all we know you have a sweat shop full of master craftsmen churning out those awesome 4WD models! ;)

To those that debate the use of "Kustom" vs. "Custom", is it really worth the bandwidth and posts to argue over it? If so, take it to PM and leave the rest of us out of it. Not picking on anyone or want to join the debate, but really, Spring is here and we should be rejoicing in the warm weather!

I have yet to post any of my builds here and probably will continue to NOT do so. It is not because I can't handle the truth, it is because I build for me and me only. If the mood ever strikes, maybe I will.

Okay, a bad day at work has left me grumpy so I will end my rant, maybe I will attempt to work on something tonight.

Not to keep this going, nor to even invite drama..... but telling me or anyone else what to say is plain biased. I am sure you have also said things in other people's threads that is either correctional truth or your own opinion. I don't think my welcome or schooling was improper in the least. People need to lighten up sometimes.

Just going by your user name, I bet the shoe would be on the other foot if someone started misusing Tom Daniel's work. To each their own buddy. ;) Take a deep breath and read things slower....think a bit about it and then reply.

Really Cool Ventura you built there, Jimmy!

I've always been a huge fan of those cars. My best friend has a 1:1 '76 Skylark. I always try to buy it from him but he loves it as much as I do. Maybe one day... hehe

Perfect color for that car too! Welcome aboard!

You know who cares weather its k or c ,to me its a nice clean build that is sharp thats what matters

Nice job and welcometo MCM

I don't care if he wants to spell it like CHustom...I am just trying to educate the young man. If more people were open, honest and educated each other, there would be less idiots in the world. And no...that's not an insult to anyone here.

I see most guyz here put there whole name in the bottom so I did to. I am happy guyz you are trying to help explian things to me THANX! I am trying to do better spelling. I look up some word's but it takes long -slow down works to but it take's alot more time.

Not to be mean but "Radikal Ridez" is like saying "Kustum" isnt' it? Look's like "Customising" word's is paert of "Customising" models and real cars and guyz were doing it before me.

Nice little Poncho you got there, Jimmy, and though you've apparently just had a trial by fire, welcome to the loony bin ;) .
