txsportrider Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Ok, so I've now registered and ruined my reputation as a serial lurker here. My name is Ken, I currently live in Tulsa, Ok, but I'm from Dayton, OH originally and plan on returning someday. My full scale projects keep me from building models much anymore, but I love model cars and blame them for my real car addiction. I'm kind of technically challenged, but I'm going to try and learn to post pictures so I can unbox all of my old builds and show them. I have about 400 built kits that have been packed away since 1990, and I'm just now starting to go through them. There's some cool old stuff in there. I lurk on other boards as well, and probably know some of you from them. Thanks for the entertainment over the time I have been in hiding!

Jon Cole Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Welcome aboard. This is a great place to learn. The $24.95 monthly fee is a bit much, but Gregg lets me wash dishes to cover my fee when money is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Welcome aboard. This is a great place to learn. The $24.95 monthly fee is a bit much, but Gregg lets me wash dishes to cover my fee when money is tight. Jon's a good guy. I just sold him an original, never reissued Double Dragster kit for only $200 because he's so great. and .. welcome to the forum, Ken!

txsportrider Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks for the warm welcome! I opened a box this weekend and dug out a couple of gems. I'm going to try and take some pictures tonight. I don't know if I'll post all of them, though. My history goes back a while, and some of them are a bit rough around the edges!

torinobradley Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Glad to see another one out of the clos...um, yea, what they said... Can't wait to see more models! Welcome to the best board on the web! Your icon, is that a Monza Town Coupe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txsportrider Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Yes, that is one of my full scale time suckers. It's a pretty nice 1977 factory 305 car. I currently have the dashboard out, giving it new gauges and wiring. I have two more coupes that I had big plans for until I found this one.

torinobradley Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yes, that is one of my full scale time suckers. It's a pretty nice 1977 factory 305 car. I currently have the dashboard out, giving it new gauges and wiring. I have two more coupes that I had big plans for until I found this one. My (hot rod) mom had bought a '75 with the 262 and knew how to light the tires halfway down the street. She blew that motor out and gave it to my brother who found a 355 motor set up for circle track racing. That thing was stupid fast. With the lateral link from the rear end to the trans, it would lift up the entire car under acceleration... It seemed to accelerate faster than it could brake. And talk about an unassuming little sleeper! And how do you like changing that last spark plug on the drivers side? We found it easier to do it from under the car. Again, welcome aboard!
