- Day of Infamy. 80 years ago today Pearl Harbor was attacked and the US entered WW II. *NM*
- A VERY Happy Birthday today to Barry L. Payne and many more. *NM*
- Very cool sir! Only problem I could see is get halfway through a row of corn and bend a needle, LOL! *NM*
- Received my 63 Chevy II new wagon kit yesterday. Thanks Matt and Dawn for great service. And man do i love this kit. Get onen you wont be disappointed. *NM*
- Update on my 56 F-100 conversions *Pix*
- Just completed this evening... possibly the longest running model car project ever (53 years)? Only two other modelers know what it is...hopefully, I will have pix to share soon.....TIM *NM*
- Is it just me? or are there a lot of "Lurkers" that visit the group? ie: a person who lurks, in particular a user of an internet message board or chat room who does not participate. My photo's from the past had 240 views and 4 comments...
- I look everyday usually more than once but rarely comment. Just me. *NM*
- I guess I'm a lurker. I look at the board every day, but only post when I have something worthwhile to say. *NM*
- R/T, as far as the models shown on this here board, as I've said more than 2 or 3 times I have not, and will not comment, good, bad or ugly, on ANY model posted. I was "removed" halfway through an IPMS show,(years ago) for NOT being strict enough. To me, it took all the FUN
- Many post on Facebook due to the ease of posting photos and greater numbers there. I see many of our long time board friends there far more often than here *NM*
- Lurker these days, hope to get the building mojo at some point *NM*
- I have to say I read almost all of your posts with great interest, but don't always post responses.
- R/T, if I'm reading posts on the board I am PARTICIPATING. If I have nothing to say, I don't. Simple. *NM*
- Mostly I'm a lurker, but, I'll often answer 60's Mustangs or Cobra questions, some Mopar Q's too *NM*
- I have become an observer, I hate the 'lurker' tag. (grin) I used to be much more active, but my completion rate has been near zero lately, so no pics to post. I still enjoy hanging out here and will finish a build soon! *NM*
- I read nearly all the posts, at least once a day --
- So while looking at instructions on the drastic plastics site, I came across this box top (PIC)
- Finished the AMT '63 Impala convertible.
- "FROM BEHIND THE SPOTLIGHT" Official picture of the upcoming Moebius Ford Ramp Truck *PIC*
- Found an unbuilt JoHan/AMT AMX in mys stash. I forget--is the engine accurate fro the '70s AMX?
- Question for the board. I'm working on the AMT '66 Olds 442 W-30 HT kit........ *PIC*
- I just want to thank everyone who commented on my Impala custom below. I appreciate it. It makes seeing a project through even more satisfying. *NM*
- Clever! Does it run? I bet a grandkid would love it *NM*
- Well done. Well done indeed. *NM*
- What a cool collection of finely built funny cars. *NM*
- I've been inspired by Terre Jesse posting his old builds, and while I can't begin to compare to his fine building skills, I can post some that I have photographed. So I'll try to post one a day .
- That is true model building. Nice job. *NM*
- You rocked that TD kit....and yes the skeletons appeal to all of Us 12 year olds stuck in an old mans body!! *NM*
- Absolutely fantastic!! *NM*
- You build some great models Scott. What color did you use to paint the Pontiac GT-37? *NM*
- Fantastic collection! I LOVE the Tommy Ivo Charger! *NM*
- Photo's from the past...enjoy
- Something different... *PICS*
- Monogram Hot Rods *PICS*
- Some of you guys have emailed me asking to see some pics of just the car in my diorama, so I'm gonna share them here. ............... *PICS* .......
- PROJECTS ON THE BENCH... Had a few good days in the garage. PIX and thanks for looking
- ;^) *NM*
- "E" on wheelcover should give a clue to Edsel.😊 *NM*
- Noodling around with this '60 impala again. Need advice and maybe a couple of parts.
- "I See Dead People" LOL !!! Great build !!! *NM*
- '65 Impala custom , , FINISHED !!, , , [PICS]
- cool custom Steve *NM*
- Very cool paint job. Very period correct. *NM*
- Nice! The front reminds me of the '65 and later Corvairs, and also the early Camaro styling. *NM*
- That's really nice, and I LOVE the hood and front end! *NM*
- Steve, where ever did you find that can of "Clearview 2000"??? I forget what it was called but it sure did a great job on the hood!!! All kidding aside, that was a neat option for a superb modern custom. *NM*
- Awesome! I can just see that sitting in one of the pavilions at the Grand National Roadster Show! *NM*
- Wow! Very nice! I really like what you did with it! *NM*
- Nice work on that Steve. It looks really good. *NM*
- Slick style that looks like a factory concept *NM*
- VERY cool!!!! You definitely nailed the 60's custom car vibe!!! *NM*
- Nice Custom Impala! Great Job! *NM*
- Great build *NM*
- Turned out great! Very clean custom without looking like tacked on stuff - smooth blending of mods! *NM*
- Looking good, Steve! *NM*
- Very well done! That kit was the best stock custom I can recall, the full custom nose with the clear hood and so many other parts. That would be a neat reissue :) *NM*
- Very, VERY Cool looking custom. You did a fantastic job on it. I'm usually not into customs, but I'd like to see this in my garage. *NM*
- Nicely done. Bodywork, paint, everything. *NM*
- Very nice build! *NM*
- Well worth all the effort! *NM*
- Steve, I probably missed it while you were building it, how did you do the paint job? Thx, Tom *NM*
- That came out great!! *NM*
- That's really graceful. Great looking. *NM*
- Would be right at place in the ICAS series! *NM*
- Your models always shin a light on the aspect of the hobby I ignore, the Customs, and that one is very nice. I like the front end, almost a late Corvair look to it, anyway, spectacular build! *NM*
- Wow did that ever come out nice. I like the fading in and out paint and the clear hood. *NM*
- Today I am hit the big 70 an wow do I feel like it.... *NM*
- Today I am turning the big 70 an wow do I feel like it.... *NM*
- It's going to get one of your cool 223 inlines, I hope... *NM*
- RR is cool, but BB is perfect. Love that build. *NM*
- AMT - ya gotta love 'em. Craftsman ad in black and white "look for these colorful boxes"
- Well, if you're going for gotcha factor, I do the Boss 429, mount it mid-ship, and I'd for sure use a straight axle to get the ride height up. ( you know, to transfer weight) *NM*
- Sunday photos.................................................................................................PICS
- What paint is on the Blue Beatle? Its beautiful. *NM*
- Fine build. I like your Audi R8 with the carbon fiber panel and the black body. The 1:1s with the black panel on a light colored body just kill the visual shape of the car imho. *NM*
- Black for "the look" and blown Hemi for power. Since there are few places the hemi can be fully wound up these days, I would prioritize the look since it has plenty of power for just having fun. *NM*
- Additions of mid air car and losing the fractured laminated windshield elements make it even more impressive. Congrats! *NM*
- Hasegawa Ford Thunderbird *PIC*
- Nice, but since we are just wishing... I'll take Jay Leno's! *NM*
- Yep. We Southern boys do like our fun! ;^) *NM*
- The Burgundy car. *NM*
- For me it is the '55 Olds Holiday coupe for the car itself and the memory it brings to mind of my dad driving our family to the top of Pike's Peak in the scariest ride of my young life! ;^) *NM*
- Overhaulin' Project: Monogram 1939 Chevy Coupe. Opinions requested.
- I think the color would go better on a classic street rod build, but I'm not really sold on those hood cutouts on a street rod. The '39 panel truck has a stock hood to swap in, but of course the paint wouldn't match. *NM*
- Some graphics would certainly brighten things up. *NM*
- I like Gasser choice with some cheater slicks and some graphics! *NM*
- Option C: Leave it alone, save it, it's part of your history to remember- build another, any way you like. *NM*
- Re: Overhaulin' I like option "C" too... *NM*
- I agree, leave it alone, those kits aren't that hard to find, if you want a different version, do it with a second kit. *NM*
- I think it looks great as it is! Get another kit and build it like you want. *NM*
- Ok, thanks for the responses, it sounds like a lot of people think I should leave it alone, so I think maybe I will clean and polish it. I may switch out the wheels though.....
- Yeah, I'd swap out the wheels too. IMO the main interesting history is the paint job; the rest is mostly box stock rather than your personal touch, so I don't think you lose anything by changing it. *NM*
- I say leave it alone also. Looks great as is but like you said polish the paint a bit. Build another one like you would to change this one too. *NM*
- Allison V16, midship. Pipe the intake up to a scoop on the roof. *NM*
- I like the black one because it looks so much like the AMT kit that I was so crazy about in 1960. BUT...
- Instruction sheet link for ya Mike. *NM* *LINK*
- VERY NICE *NM*
- I have to go with Quiet Eric, I don't like the cowl steering on the one with the hemi. ( I do like the engine though)..... I would have to go with the black one. *NM*
- I would go mid engine, it would be easy to do with a van and there is plenty of room, so I would go with a Boss 429 or 427 SOHC or . ....
