Welcome to the party Toby! I was the Trooper on the news from McClurg Ct during the lineup for tickets to TPM. And TK412 and TK265 joined me at the Old Orchard theatres for opening night. <br><br>Are you going to be at Wizard World this year? <p><p><table width="100%" border="0" height="138"> <tr> <td height="173" width="11%"><img src="http://www.midwestgarrison.com/IMAGES/propclub.jpg" width="100" height="134"></td> <td height="173" width="89%"> <div align="left"> <p><br> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">1.

Hey Mike! Quite a place you've got here.....I've already dug out my old trooper costume and been tinkering with it! I already did your ab mod and am loving it! I never thought that I would be bringing myself to start cutting up an outfit that cost me as much as it did...but it's well worth it!<br>I've decided that I need to trim away some of the edges on the arm pieces. Any hints on keeping the thigh pieces from slipping down? I seen to be missing a bunch of the small pieces from the costume..I need to find some replacements.<br>I'm also in the process of adding speach, and possibly sound and fans to the mask, but need a little help (just check out my post in the tips and tricks).<br>Now that I know you guys exist, I'll have to make it a point to make it to Wizard World!! My company is moving that weekend, so things are gonna be crazy. I'll see if I can't make it on that Sunday. At such an early notice, I'll probably just jump into the new Maul outfit without any makeup. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub76.ezboard.com/usithcamaro.sh ...

Cool, I can't make Wizard on Saturday so I will be going there on Sunday. The closer it gets, the more I think I will be doing the Tusken thing. <br><br>Check out some of the older threads in the tips section. There is some great stuff about fixing up your helmet. As far as you thighs go, TK412 has a great little garter/waist belt thing going on. Maybe we can get him to post some pics of how it is all set up. <br><br>BTW: Sweet car but why did you leave the RIZZA plate frame on? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub76.ezboard.com/utk895.showPub ...

Rizza plate? I'm guessing that you browsed the ol website. Those car picts are ancient. This is a current one (minus Rizza plate)<br>www.geocities.com/dvader75/me12.jpg <p></p><i></i>

That is very nice. I just wanted to share the LAST TA as it will be coming off the line. This is the Collectors Edition TA, 2000 will be made (500 for Canada). <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.midwestgarrison.com/IMAGES/2 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>This is an unreleased to the public photo, until now. <p></p><i></i>

I'm not sure yet, but Tony bought a couple of the 30th ann cars in 99 and just sold one for about 2k more than what he paid. <br><br>If they do it like they did in 99 then it will be a split of 500 convertibles and 1000 coupes. With a mix of auto and stick. Of course the stick will be lower in numbers. <br><br>I have no idea when they will be out but they will be 2002 models. we already have been getting 2002 firebirds in stock. Some more pictures are coming online soon. I will post a couple more shots later. <p></p><i></i>

So when you say last TA....does that mean that GM has officially given the f bodies the axe? Or is there still a possible retro camaro rebirth in late 2003? <p></p><i></i>

There is no contract to continue producing ANY f-bodies after the end of the 2002 model year. <br><br>There may be a replacement vehicle produced in a different plant in 2004 or later <p></p><i></i>
