i have to tell you ilikeart people have been acting like snobs on here lately. and i do love your items that do bring some memories back to some degree!!!, they only look at their certin clicks, this website is getting to CLICKY FOR ME!!!! JUST TO LET YOU KNOW!!
I agree BELLIN.I used to hand out Love like it was the 60s.Now I check the poster to see if they love other peoples items...if not they don't get my love.They don't have to like mine but if they can be on here for more than five minutes without loving something they don't need my love !
I agree , Hedgewalker, i have an item thats been sitting onhere for a while , and its going to a big auction house in dallas texas . next year for june 13 for the art deco. 6 reponses on this item on here , and i get one big reponse from the auctionhouse hows does that jive Hedgewalker!! i don't get it on here !!!
Attitudes and ego's BELLIN...The world is full of them.I think some see it as a competition also...if they have been on here for 8,10,12 months and can't find something they love they are NOT collectors they are just here to get admiration from others.
But to be fair I think sometimes the site is so overwhelming that things get missed.
you'r right dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi-5; I see you like hobby cars too!
BELLIN68, thank you for all of your nice compliments.Sorry to understand the negativity you are experiencing from others like of positive response on posted items; However, we don't have to stop giving love because others msy not be giving any.

Hi Hedge Walker, thank you very much for your compliments.
I am happy that you find my model Firebird amazing.
Thanks Sean, any new exciting finds.
Ilikeart,
Hey--I'll give ya some (platonic--LOL) love for your Firebird!
It's great! I LOVE the "shaker" hood scoop, with it's (accurate, depending upon how the full-scale cars were ordered) "455" (cubic inch) "call out" on the side of the "shaker" 'scoop.
But I'm into pre-war, pressed steel trucks, so I'm not familiar with "Hobby Craft" cars--can you link me to a discussion board or a site for Hobby Craft enthusiasts? I'd like to learn more.
Also, what are the 'Bird's dimensions? Is it a kit, or did it come assembled?
Very cool car! Please keep posting here--I don't know what "Negative Neds/Nancy's" have been troubling you, but I hope getting some "Love," especially from a "pressed steel" collector, for your plastic 'Bird, counts for something--I mean, it should, as your car is so cool it's caught the eye of someone totally ignorant of your area of interest, in collectibles--so that tells you just HOW cool your car is!
So keep posting, my friend!

Hey Ilikeart,
I may owe you an apology--I just assumed your car was plastic-bodied, based on the interior--but the more I look at it, the more I wonder if the body is, in fact, steel/tin or ?
So, I do apologize, if I erred. Whatever it's made out of (and now I'm really curious--LOL) it's a cool ride!
Peace,
Waltons_Mountain
