Thanks guys and right back at'cha.

Haven't been around much because I've been working on some auto modeling projects but still wanted to touch base and wish everybody a Merry Christmas.

I wish I could show you a pic of the Merc but it's sitting in a box along with a late '60's Dodge Dart that I plan to build models of me and my best friend's cars we were driving when we first got out of school. I may have a pic of the real one I'll post if I find it. In the meantime, how about...

I couldn't believe just how much like a runway my '66 Mercury Cyclone flat black hood with the pine tree droppings looked like. Probably a good thing it was in black and white shot so you couldn't see the greenish tint to the tarmac, huh? LOL

I can't begin to tell you the controversy this picture caused about thirty years ago where I worked. The in-house company newspaper held a photography contest with "Summertime" or some such category for both color and black and white photos so I intered some of my stuff. The expected flower...

Sweetest sound this side of an aged D28 Herringbone Martin guitar or a double row corn cob radial in full song! LOL

That'll work. Wonder what my 1st MEW (miserable ex-wife) would have to say about me not only still having models but becoming world famous with them after she sold all my dirt car models in the divorce auction? I told her that if she made me sell my models that that was the end of it as far as...

Hey Lucky13, thanks for the welcome in. I've been missing you on the stock car board. Should we tell them just how blurred the line between real and really small gets when you take the colors out, or just let this pic of the whiskey runner that traded in his old flathead V8 coupe for something a...

Thank you Wurger. You would be the second Polish friend that racing has given me. You might recognize the other, the orginator of the Polish Victory Lap, from this pic of my model of one of his cars.

Thanks. I'd be glad to help anyone here do a more "personalized" "Siggy". Just send me a pic and let me know sort of what you want it to be and I'll see what I can come up with.

What's a "siggy section" and how do I get there? I'm always willing to help any way I can.

Thanks everybody. I'll have to see if I can dig up that Corsair shot that won me a little money in a "what I did this summer" photo contest at work several years ago. Seems they couldn't tell the difference between the Pacific and my front yard. Could it have been that really close up shot of a...

Thanks guys. I might just have to do some new aircraft stuff since ya'll seem to like it. You know, those drop tanks might just revolutionize whiskey runnning. And those six fifty calibers makes road blocks not nearly as big a problem as they used to be. LOL Did I mention the magazine...

I found out about this board on one of the model car boards I post on when a link to one of the posts on your "off topic" section talked about the '50's and '60's stock cars. I build exactly that kind of model almost exclusively now but I got my start back in the fifties with the Aurora...
