Tim HeimerLOL! Yea this Hollywood car thing has had me going this year. I still need to get pics of this all together. I'm close to finishing Eleanor and Knight rider, then I need to finish a few others. I'm amazed at what I've pulled off so far this year, finished 3 from last year, built the last 3 pirate kits, and with Eleanor and Kitt done will be 7 movie kits completed! I've never been that busy in a year! Lets do the time warp again! LOL

Tim HeimerBob ..do you really think many people would remember Kojack? Most don't remember the movie Cobra! I thought about the Angels van, Rockford files and the A-team as well, but all way too expensive for my income. Thanks any way!

Bob HallRockford drove a 74 Firebird, if you want to build it I have a bunch of spare 1970 Firebird kits you can convert to 74. Let me know if you want one.😎

Tim HeimerI knew I was close! LOL, they sound close, but yes not the bald sucker licking dude! Rockford started with the 74 and 75 and ended with a 76. I think the 74 is more iconic for this show. Being a Pontiac guy, I know the 70 front end and rear would be really off for the 74. The 78 Bandit would be close to the 76 but has slightly different grill that some would catch. I saw a 74 kit on ebay but couldn't afford it. But I thank you again!

Tim HeimerMy God! This stress I've been under is fking with my memory!!! 1st the Kojack thing and now this! Yes it is 73-76! 77 & 78 grills are slightly different! Too cool of a find Bob! Wish I could afford it! That would work with well with the 77- 78 yr firebird kit! Tail lights are pretty much the same from 73-78, but then again my mind is misfiring! LOL

Tim HeimerThanks Bob, and no. The final date of my divorce is in December, plus the hoops of fire I'm trying to jump through for medicare as well as other crap I'm going through! I just had a knee operation 3weeks ago.

Bob HallI know what your going through. I too, Divorced, I don't do Medicare but I have my fights with the VA and I too have had knee surgery after an IED hit my vehicle in Iraq in 2008 on top of the 2 titanium pates and 12 screws in my neck after another IED got me in Afghanistan. I swear the Army doctor that did my knee was last in his class, still hurts like hell to this day ! But keep the faith and keep on modeling on my friend !

Tim HeimerI thank you guys for your support! Bob, I'm ALMOST in the same shape as you are, My whole neck is fused with rods, lower back has 3 vertebrae fused, both shoulders and both knees have been operated on, and I
was only a forklift mechanic! Sorry to say but at least I had good surgeons. I have a good idea of the pain you feel and am sorry to hear you have to deal with that! It seems modeling is good therapy for many here.
