Heres my resto's in progress closing in on completion.... Thunderbolt One aka "lightning larry" and Destroyer aka "destroyer Dan" very awsome kits would be awsome to see these come back along with first gen bigfoot!! yes i'm already aware the blazer is coming back as crew cheif

wowo waaayyy freakin sweeet!! puts my destroyer to shame......

very cool can i post a pic of non rusted destroyer??

this is coming along nicely car is pretty sweet to begin with, just needs some attention! i removed the engine and wired it, fuel lines a/n fittings and carved out some of the closed chassis to open it up for added realism, going to add my own front leafs, and a chrome frame bar (like revell kits) other than that its as it was out of the

lots of winch, bumper, and grille options...... still working on the mini bike/ motorcycle for this one..... debating on to use the BB's for injector stack filters and paint them flat black?? or leave he stacks open..... so many options almost done though. just need to finish my wire harness for floodlights to the rear floodlamp, and connect my coil wire to the coil i made after i paint it.....

took pics! also snapped pics of my thunderbolt one i'm restoreing with more fuller detail this time around and 4 wheels instead of 3 (thanks to a fellow mcm member) boondocker decals..... look pretty snappy on the brown...... may end up using these wheels altho it was not originally planned, but it does really give me the look i was imagineing not too tall, just about right.....

This post is probly more or so for the gulf region...... Have my fellow board members nationwide heard of the event i'm sure people nearby (alabama,louisiana,florida,tn etc) know of this very popular and famous week long get together of nothing but old cars from rat and street rods, to factory stock vehicles, and anything wearas in between! The even is always usually the first week in october and is always a week long event..... Kickoff is always on sunday the weather forecast looks to be awsome was just wondering how many folks have heard of this even? or even attended it once or twice? i look to get lots of great reference pictures for model cars

I will be right there with ya very soon buddy.... my 2nd child is due oct 18 may end up being sooner tho, congrats

yes the kit Did at one point in time offer a mini bike with the "ligtning larry" Thunderbolt One issue circa early 80's?? same time as "destroyer" ford monster truck.....

I want to say it may have to do with types of primers and plastics...... if i paint with duplicolor directly on the styrene it fogs really bad many times.... when i use promer first it lessens the effect If the particular color of duplicolor chosen fogs slightly i just clear over it and it comes out perfect and shiney!! could it be because it may be a "Hot" paint so to say?

whats a dod dish? LOL

I'm originally Minnesotan!! betcha wish you hadn't blown up all those kits!! its so difficult to get these kits (even redone model king) versions for reasonable c'mon round 2 you listening?? have the decals installed will try and get some up to date pics....

also certain finishing nails make great sturdy replacements.....

very pretty

heres where I stand, got a new kit to go with the parts experimental RWD convert.... hope to have enough skill to be able to make 2 complete citations one stock, one 350 small block v8 rwd

going for something similar to this with my own twist, 4x4 of course with extra chevy bowtie ponies under the hood of course, offroad tires, not too overly lifted tho just a nice possible everyday daily driver with the option of trail riding once in awile! paint is testors one coat laquer "root beer" decals will be the "boondocker" decals

very cool !

very cool, my dad has owned a couple of these in the past 1:1's ....... i'm working on one trying to figure out how to rear wheel drive convert it for the small block i want to shoe horn in

nice cobra i'm waiting for my local h.l's to bring down the clearence kits a lil bit more most are still at 14.99$ not too bad, but your sox and martin price would be better so now i wait lol.....

those thunderbolts are very sweet kits, are they representation of a actual ford production? or is it normal for the big engine, the skinnys upfront and slicks out back? "drag" car in otherwords or were there street production models in real 1:1 that had other options like 302 or 351 engines etc

one clean vette!! this certainly motivates me to start some work again on the many vettes i have

An immature, irresponsible kid walked onto a race track while the cars were still moving on the track... And this is Tony Stewart's fault how?

i'm currently working on a 85/ 86 gt 5.0 only difference really from the lx is the front bumper lower facia..... GT = marchal foglamps lx = no foxlamp opening 1/25 scale

i need to make a 80' replica, need to source a couple junklot kits or something so i can stretch the chassis/ body a tiny bit.....

chuck wherever did you get / source those squarish headlights? they look perfect!!
