Just wanted to let every one I'm still around and kicking.
I have taken a break from models for a while to focus on a larger model that I have had for 32 years. It has been an on again,off again project since I bought it in 1980 after I graduated high school.
I just picked it up from a friends restoration shop last week after he painted it. It only took 28 years to get it repainted. In that time life's great and little challenges have taken first place to her. 4kid$ a beautiful wife and a house. Now I will have a little extra time now that school has started for the kids. Hope to get back into models after the holidays. Hope all is well with everyone..John

It's a 1967 Mustang Fastback. I rebuilt the engine and added the 4 speed trans in 1985 and rebuilt it again in 2007. ::)

And I mean BUILT!!
When I'm done with it next year I will be taking it to San Francisco for the 45th anniversary of the filming of BULLITT with a BULLITT car club.
We will be driving to all the chase scenes in the movie.

I also have a 1967 Mustang Coupe that is all stock and in need of a major overhaul. And a 1933 Ford Pick up Street Rod and Vintage Dirt Bikes and.............. too many toys and not enough time to play with them all at one time.

Alex Reynoso: I am looking for a Naval Museum that might display some of my father's WWII Navy items. I have a scaled model of a PBM-3 that he was a crew member of I believe crew #3. Thanks. azalex@hotmail.com Aug 23, 2017 16:50:27 GMT -5

Jim Broshot: Since nobody has responded in the last month and a half. The only Naval Museums I have ever been to are in Oregon: Tillamook Air Museum (housed in an old blimp hanger, used to be a Naval Air Museum but seems to have gotten away from that specialty. http:/ Oct 7, 2017 22:38:53 GMT -5

Jim Broshot: And its not a Naval Museum but an Aviation Museum and I have seen models displayed in its exhibits, the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in Mcminnville www.evergreenmuseum.org/ Oct 7, 2017 22:42:22 GMT -5
