Sorry for not participating much here lately gents....

I have had some issues come up that added to many I already have that has been on my mind a lot and been having to try to deal with them as I can....sorry for not being a better part of this place lately gents.   I just have not been myself lately with everything going on I have to handle...will try to be more active and a positive part of this group of great gents.

Hope everything works out Mark, we are always here.

No need to apologise Mark, we've all had crap to deal with. Just slide on back when you're up to it. We're not going anywhere, not just yet anyway.

No worries. life gets busy and there are more important things to worry about.

Good to see ya back posting Mark. Cheer up buddy. What about selling that blown SBC you have to help bring in some cash for thos models.

Don't worry Mark. We all have real life demands. Look at me, I've been virtually invisable for the last year. Participate when you can.

Take it easy my friend, we'll be here for you.

Apologies not needed, Mark. Work through it at your pace, and we'll still be here.

Thanks brothers...you all are great guys.


Curt buddy...nope I cant...built it with my own hands...even if I did the funds would end up going to debts/bills...still hoping to find a 1 to 1 coupe body we can find a way to get a hold of to use it in so me and the wife will have my childhood dream to ride around in someday. I have plenty to work on if I can ever find the parts they need...plus there special..they were my dads from his old collection..well what is left of it. They were complete but the tornado in 2011 took a lot and damaged stuff. My model room just has not been the same place since...has that empty feeling in a way.

Life sometimes hands us all a bit much at once...nice to have brothers in plastic...thanks for your support gents..it means a lot.

No need for apologies Mark. We all have such times in outr lives. Going through one myself right now.

Good to hear from you Bro!

Thanks Al....I hope you get through yours soon...I am always willing to chat or try to help out if possible brother. Sometimes we need it but just wont ask or open up some. We all are weak as one but strong as many. One of the things that is bothering me is that my nerve damage has progressed some again...I know it will just slow down my building but will still be able to it just makes me wonder how mush more time I have to try to find stuff for them and get my dads old ones restored..? life is full of challenges. Thanks.

Though unfortunate times are never wanted we all have them now and again. And it always takes time to go through whats going on. Hope that things work out/resolve themselves soon.

Thanks Kats...you gents support helps...great bunch of brothers in plastic here. Unfortunately most types of nerve damage is permanent like mine but sometimes it gets worse and gets better a bit but sometimes it gets worse and stays that way...hoping for the first one here. Ether way I will continue to build might just slow me down more for the good day and bad ones...bad ones I do not build better ones I do so far. Plastic has been way too big of a part of my life to give up no on them...its my escape from things now and my passion for over 40 years. I appreciate each and every one of you gents...thanks.

Well brothers.... had another thing to have to deal with added to the pile. Saturday my aunt was put in hospis for stage 4 cancer....she lost her fight around 2 pm Sunday afternoon...she was a great kind lady...going to miss her.

Very sorry to hear that Mark, will be thinking about you and the family.

Sorry to hear of your sad news Mark, chin up buddy and like Gaz, I'll be thinking about you too.

Thanks my brothers....you all are a great bunch to have.

Well.... Took another hard hit yesterday....a good friend and buddy of mine Larry passed away. he was older and passed on his terms..no life support. Two in two weeks...enough already.

Hard to take Mark, really sorry to hear that.

Sincerest condolences on your losses, Mark. Here's hoping things turn around sooner rather than later.

Thanks brothers....things have to get better soon..right..? I cant wait till this month is over...been a rough one all around. I thought I had a deal worked out on a MPC 75 Firebird and MPC 75 Dodge van model but at the last minute the guy changed his mind on it...go figure..? I was hoping to cross a couple off my bucket/grail list....guess ill keep searching.
