  1. And odds are that this is probably the most accurate kit they ever made!! LOL!
  2. Quite a few folks got the sets and have ended up dumping some of them. I snap them up whenever I come across them at the dealer tables. Wish someone would dump the Max or Cobra, or both! LOL!
  3. Very nice! The engine looks like a Jewel!
  4. Cool, now I can build one and keep my original all original!
  5. Yeah, I'm thinking its stupid
  6. rent a racer! Very nice find Jesse! Yeah, he bought it when they got rid of them and has modified it over the years a bit. The "R" apron made me question its lineage until he told me about it some more. He also added some more supportive seats for the occasional autocross. BTW, hope you are feeling better, get better and see you at the next meeting!
  7. I'm in for one!
  8. How could I have forgotten the Cobra! I had it when I was a kid!! Need to find me another one!
  9. I believe you have them all. They where re-issued a few years back with the exception of the Black Max trike. Nice score!!
  10. The man can build! His stuff is truly Pro Built, not unlike some other "Pro Built" nightmares out there on the bay.
  11. Never going to build a stock version of this, so the rear end will most likely get tossed
  12. Let's get back on track. We know why NHRA exists and that there a ton of crud tv shows about cars. NHRA has tried to keep T.V. viewership by using the carnival show playbook. Rivalries, stars of the sport, spotlight segments and lots of sponsorship placement. They forgot one thing, to let the racer innovate. Stagnant innovation means the same thing over and over. If there is something new, we don't hear about it because it is simply not that sexy to show some new innovation vs. "what happened to the engine after the run" coverage. And other than Mike Dunn, who else on the announcers cast is actually a racer or has been in the sport for years? I think ESPN punishes some of their announcers by making them work NHRA events or that is where they send them out to pasture. Or is it World Poker? Regardless, I honestly do not know how to fix it other than the usual lineup of categories that make the T.V. show. The Factory Hot Rods are nowhere close to factory anymore and sorry, but Pro Bike is flat out boring.
  13. That looks like a jewel! Very nice!!
  14. You know, just like I found out about the website by calling, someone can call and ask them about their products. Why speculate when you can actually find out?
  15. Sorry, I read cop car parts and I thought of the Blues Bros.
  16. I believe it going to be new tooled and if it is i want one... Exactly!
  17. All the Michael's in San Diego need to clear out the same models they have carried for the last two years!!
