  1. I want to turn my recently aquired Honda Dax 70 into the American version, the Trail 70.The speedometor/head light are wroung and so are the decals and a few other little details.Is there a kit out there for it?
  2. Dang,That is cool and all but is it like docking the starship Enterprize when you have to park?Lol
  3. As long as the back seat isn't as cramped for space like the challenger(I rode in the back of one today,my left leg just now dislodged from my stomach) I like the Idea for this build.
  4. Just run if they get on or in somethng with wheels.
  5. Lol,The Honda is my favorite present this year because around 4 years ago I got the real deal off of Craigslist.I have been searching ebay for a good one and gave up in july after loosing 4 diff. auctions for the same kit.Somehow my dad found one for a decent price from over seas.Poped it open,fractory fresh.
  6. I wish you a very merry christmas and a happy new year! I also want to say that one of my new years resolutions will be to build some of these kits.
  7. http://www.italianhorses.net/Tutorials/Panelines/panels.htm I think the thinner might ruin the paint,I am new to washes so any help will be greatful
  8. Best place to look is at shows venders usally have several hot rod kits.
  9. About last year around this time off year I had come home from my local show and was walking up the staircase with my Austin Tilly kit(Tamiya's new one) and sliped on a step and droped my kit down about 5 steps.I swear my screams off terrror could be heard for miles,Thankfully all the parts but the tailgate and the doors stayed intact.From that day on I have used Tamiya's liquid cement.
  10. Like some people have said before it is a creative oulet for me,Also I love my friends reactions of "That started as that?''.
  11. Curse you mobius!Why do you have to realese such cool kits,I only get so much money a month!
  12. Hold on give my eyes a second to ajust to this SHINE.
  13. Ok Kenn stop showing off,how are we ever suppost to feel good about our scratch building after this?Lol,Just kidding.Can't wait to see the finished product.
  14. A great example is when was the last time you saw a plane painted aztec gold or candy apple red with Craiger Mag rims?Military guys have only one way to build that model,the historical way.We can do what ever we want to them most of the time.
  15. Yes teaching the upcoming generations about automotive history is very important.One day I was reading a HOT ROD mag at school and one of my friends walked up and asked what I was reading about,It was a Austin Heally bug eye sprite(The car I was named after) and she said that it was only worth the money to have it crushed.She also said the same thing about the Shelby Daytona coupe and the Shelby cobra.I almost fliped out in the middle of class.Also the worst ones are the ones who are so arogent towards real American steel,and like that made in china ######.
  16. If your suffering from Stickerish shockagus then search craigslist.
  17. Looking in the parts bin I have rounded up the parts for a 440 six pack.And it fits!
  18. Yea now the camero sits in a case with a glass wall between it and freedom.
  19. I used to like diecast until one night a '69 Camero rolled off the shelf and onto my face while I was asleep. That thing hurt like crazy and scared me to death.
  20. Ok I took out the dremmel and went all no mercy on the engine bay and chassis.New engine not yet found,mabey something with some kick to it?
  21. Well at least he enjoyed the 3.3 seconds it takes to go from zero to repair shop.
