  1. Do you have a pic of this door setup?
  2. Very nice build! It have both donor kits, now I just need to get my butt moving and do it!!
  3. Great trade with Casey! WIll gladly trade with again!
  4. Larson's 68 was a one piece body. Most funnies, even the one piece types, have panel lines on them. Some may have gone smooth, but most kept them just to add the the "Stock" aspect of the cars represented. .
  5. You can start here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=330271&page=6
  6. How about the postings being about actual kit reviews and not about speculations on kit announcements. I don't mind discussions about kits, but, page after page of speculations gets pretty boring. Like the thread on the new Ford Pick Up from Moebius. The kit has not been done yet but we have a 26 page thread on it! And the HEMI Cuda has 37 pages!! Just my thoughts
  7. Neat, but, I do not like the whitewalls on it.
  8. I sure do wish funny car teams could make their cars look this cool again! Very nice!
  9. Most of the ones I know of where run as funny cars. There might have been a few in the street categories.
  10. I remember when Playco Toy Store was blowing the Cannonball kits for a $1.50! Wish I still had them in my stash!
  11. Whoa! That looks wild! More pics and welcome to the site!!
  12. Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe Bill Thomas Cheetah '71 Buick Riviera Early 70's Fuel Altered Hard Top '67 Mustang
  13. Weird, nothing weird here. Just a lady taking a bath outside her house while her kid plays and some guys peeks at her from behind a fence. Yup, nothing weird at all!
  14. Very nice! I have those decals in the stash. Thanks for the inspiration!
  15. How is this? Side Canard Wings Photo by Tom West
  16. You can fit three Ramchargers Dragster kits into one box! Just in case you buy a case of them.
  17. He built show rods. He may have used junk yard parts to create them, but, they where true show rods. Just because he came up with Mickey Mouse's dead beat brother, does not mean he built "Rat" cars.
  18. We are not hoarders, we are just very enthusiastic collectors! LOL!
  19. Looks like the Ford version of the F-Bomb! Nice!!
  20. I would love to see the rest of his kit re-issued again! To me they where some of the coolest kits out there and you did not have to do any kit bashing to make some really far out cars!! And yes, Tom, it is very surreal to meet your childhood heroes. And having a drink with them is far out!
  21. After being a Tech Official at the local Drag Strip, I did bounce quite a few cars. From Honda Rocket Racers to Rat Rods. Some of these guys will listen and take the advice you give them on what they need to do to be safe. Some, they have this BS bravado about run what you brung! So it is not just about the cars, but also the owners or builders!!! Young guys trying to act like cranky old men, now that is funny! It was like a badge of honor to have a totally unsafe car. Living the desperate life of a pulp magazine! I called them the cartoon kids! I can understand being passionate about something, but there is also common sense. Most of them eventually got it and some threw a fit and huffed off mad. Back to the pits to make a ruckus and drink PBR! And then they would get mad about no Alcohol in the pits!! I don't care what they call these cars anymore, I am just trying to give a bit of background on how it was and where it is now. They are becoming the PT Cruisers of the show car set. There are so many and they begin to loose the uniqueness about them. And some, I will admit, are cool and deserve to be seen, but some, they just do it to do it and make noise! Love them or hate them, they are among us and that's the way it is!
