  1. Welcome brother! I don't know if you're interested but I belong to a club in Pittsburgh and we're always looking for new members. If you wanna know more feel free to PM me!
  2. I really enjoy model building and I thought that there were maybe some people out there who would to but were maybe afraid to start for whatever reason. Or they have started and just aren't to sure on how to do things. Now I know I'm far from an expert but I do truly enjoy helping people and thought maybe a blog was an easy way to do it. Plus it's a way to share my personal experiences and perhaps inspire someone out there to try building. I'm not going to be on the forum, constantly promoting my blog so don't worry about that, just wanted to let people know about it. It's not much right now but it is going through some much needed design work so give it some time. And if anyone does have any feedback on it if they decided to check it out, please PM me. Anyways that's all I wanted to say, hopefully someone out there can benefit from my writings later on! http://minimotorworks.blogspot.com/ Miniature Motor Works
  3. Seeing as they go from valve cover to valve cover I'm assuming they are some type of breather. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  4. Thank you all for the feedback and Mark, that is exactly what I was thinking when I came up with the name! lol
  5. This truck is going to be my entry in the Revell competition, hopefully it's worthy. Thanks for looking and I'm sorry for my lack of picture-taking skills.
  6. Thanks Frank. I was working on getting an Eibach lowering kit and possibly a GM Performance supercharger before it got totaled.
  7. It goes by the federal standards that all cars must meet for the year they were made. It's the states that decide how and where to enforce what types of testing is required. I personally think it's all a joke!
  8. I had this a few years back. 2003 Chevy cavalier LS Sport. I had over $6000 invested in this car in just upgrades. Full custom stereo Racing seats Stainless steel exhaust 17" Riax 5G wheels and BFG g-Force sport tires Versus Motorsport 4-piece body kit VIS Racing carbon fiber Evo hood Autometer gauges K&N Typhoon Intake Optima battery Pacesetter header Basically anything that could be changed was! lol I sure do miss this car, still would have it is some a**hat didn't run a redlight and t-bone me.
  9. Revell 70 Buick GSX.....on my third attempt and it still came out all wrong. Now I need another body and another set of decals.
  10. I'm glad I live in a part of PA that has no emissions test.
  11. Just ran across this article on this sweet 69 Camaro. I'd love to even just drive this thing! http://bangshift.com/blog/ebay-find-a-1969-copo-camaro-with-dealer-installed-l88-power-ultra-rare-options-perfect-paint-and-a-big-price-tag.html
  12. I could use some inspiration for my Si build, keep it up!
  13. This truck is going to be my entry for the Revell competition this year and here is what I got so far. First the door handles, tail gate handle, fuel door and emblems were removed Then the rear wheel tubs were cut out to make room for the 23" Torque Thrusts (yes I know the cuts are sloppy but the tonneau cover hides it) I was first just going to cut the grille out and leave the 4 sections, but after I did I realized they weren't perfectly even so I eventually cut it all out to make 1 big hole Next, the hood. This is my own custom creation made by molding a scoop from the Revell 02 Camaro to the Ram's stock hood. Took a good bit of time and filler to get the look right but I think it looks good. Also made the scoop functional. Here is a pic of the hood and grille molded together and in color, The colors of this truck are all Testors Lacquers and the design uses Star-Spangled Blue and Fiery Oranges on the exterior, The interior is painted in Graphite Dust but I don't have pics of it yet. Here is a shot of the body in color, the top half will be orange and broken up with a silver strip. There's still a good bit of work to do but I think she's gonna look good when she's done! Thanks for looking and let me know what ya'll think!
  14. I checked Scale dreams and saw the PE ones but I was hoping for some with the calipers to for the extra detail. The wheels are 23" so I want some that look proportionately right. They are for a Dodge Ram VTS "Muscle Truck"
  15. I'm looking for a set of 4 drilled big rotors with the calipers for a muscle truck build I'm doing. Does anyone here have anyone they'd recommend?
  16. I got a GMC Vandura in Forza 4 and painted "FREE CANDY" on the sides.................. I got my account suspended for a week lol.
  17. I bet it has a sticker on the back "You've had crabs, now try the lobsters!" lol
  18. I know this forum is probably quite a burden at times and I am thankful for it every single day! That's why I wouldn't mind becoming a mod sometime.
  19. I still love the AMT S10 Xtreme with what appears to be a 5-speed, manual or automatic since it has 3 pedals and both shifters lol
  20. I'm trying to find the whole hood because the stock hood has the scoops in it and I think it would look weird with both
