Ron S.' '60 Merc


I was going through the archives on TRaK and ran across this baby. It's the reason I wanted a '60 vert to build in the first place! Before this I wanted a hardtop and I still do. This looks so clean and nice with that paint!

'60 Merc Vert going Mild!


A few months back a good friend of mine Randy Webster invited me over to his house. We looked at his models and he had this on his shelf. I was looking for one in a big way at the time. I commented on it and he said "pshh yeah I bought that at a yard sale for like a quarter"...I said "NO SHIT?"...He said yeah and when he could tell I had been wanting one....he said "you can have it if you want, it's not my style"...I didn't argue!
Well it's time to get this thing on the bench! It's swimming in the purple lake now. The WHOLE thing practically fell apart! The only thing glue was the roll bar and it came out easy....everyhing else was "put together" with NO glue! Man what a NICE gift! AMT '60 Mercury Parklane....not issued since 1960!

Fresh paint and chop


Just got my Lime Gold '32 back from the shop. It's been chopped 4 inches and a fresh paint job! That guy in the back ground is very jealous don't you think?

'32 5W photoshopped


When I get spare time, I like to mess around with photos. I am not near as good as some guys, but it's fun....none the less! This is a 1/25 scale model in a PS'd Coker Tire ad. I built the model in less than two days, so don't expect a masterpiece haha!

NEW! HAMB logo for shirts!


Check this cool new logo that Ryan Cochran came up with for the new HAMB shirts! Check the Hokey Ass Message Board for more info and get you one!

A nice surprise!


I was taken by surprise when I checked my email today. I found that my model had been chosen for the home page honors on a yahoo group I belong to. I got a laugh out of the photo and it was neat to see! Model Cars Unlimited is a nice family oriented group on yahoo. The first time I ever got the honor was about 5 years ago and it was on the same group. Since then I have done it on my own groups, because I want others to feel good like it made me feel. :-) Thanks Al!
