  1. They have the correct original driver of the Piranha,Walt Stevens, and they just look better all the way around. Will post an image of my set with a Piranha set later
  2. Whoops! It's Whoopie Kat! http://www.whoopiekatdecals.com/HTML/Funnycars/fc000060.html
  3. Here are a few more shots http://www.drivelineac.com/gm_crv_amt_piranha/
  4. The decals are very sparse and not very accurate. Whoopie cat was making corrected decals for it and i think they may still be available.
  5. And not too hard to find at very low prices! I had a hard time getting rid of a couple at kit shows I think the awful box art of that time did not help much
  6. I think white looks lots better than the tan
  7. Please tell Round 2 they can stop the odd size boxes and cookie tin editions. Regular sized cardboard boxes are just fine! And with original, even better!!
  8. I used the engine and blower setup out of the stude
  9. Wow! Something to buy every month! Nice!!
  10. Super clean and cool! Great job!!
  11. Those are awesome pics, Greg! Wish someone would do decals for the Brizio car
  12. No, it comes with the 32 Rad in it. These re-issues had some of the worst box art builds I have seen in a long time! Its a cool and simple little build model. I started one back then but did not finish it. Will try to find it later and post a pic. But here is the T with a few mods
  13. It is a Switcher and it was also issued a few years ago with the other ones.
  14. This one. One of my all time favorite childhood kits! Glad I have one still
  15. Wow, maybe that is not such a bad kit afterall. Had one, but a friend built it and cut the body up pretty good. Need to find me another one. Great build!
  16. Sent Round 2 a note about the van and this is what i got back: Jesse, it's still on! We had to work out some tooling issues. Should be available in December. Thanks for your interest, John Greczula Model Kit Development Director Round 2, LLC 4073 Meghan Beeler Court South Bend, IN 46628
  17. I have always loved those boxy Lambos! Would get one today if I won the lotto! Very nice job and that color really pops!
  18. That is cool! I need one now!
  19. Very nice!
  20. Went to the Japanese Classic Car Show yesterday and scored a couple of kit. The Ramen Noodle van was just so cool and quirky that I had to buy it! And I brought along my Daytona kit and had John Morton and Pete Brock autograph it for me! Pete Brock was totally surprised by it, especially at a Japanese car show! Had a few guys try to buy it from me on the spot but I politely declined.
  21. I used to see some really dumb things and even dumber drivers back when I used to work at the local track. Seat belts older than the car, no return springs, No overflow cans, no helmets, a guy wearing a batting helmet, and it was a Yankees one if you really must know, Roll bar made out of PVC, bungee cords holding down the battery, hood, driver. Zip tied body parts, fuel tank made out of an old cast iron pipe and rolling loose in the trunk. And many more! But the biggest problem where the new drivers that did not know when to lift. Some thought they were Willy Borsch and tried driving it through only to pinstripe their car and the K-Rail! Some cars where great for cruising but lousy for racing. Poorly setup suspensions, tires that could not handle the power and engines that only looked fast but blew up at the hit! Lots of busted universal joints! Glad the guy lived to tell the tale.
  22. Thanks guys, Glad someone liked it. I only know about it because Michael's Crafts stores are carrying them here locally and I am really thinking of getting one. I see an quick way of wiring up and engine with one of these. So who is responsible for moving it here?
  23. So I post something that is more model related than a thread about parking and it gets moved to off topic? Just another reason to want to leave this board.
