  1. Some of those bodies are from the big resin makers and they are just being cleared out by some folks. My friends Skips family has been posting his stuff lately at pretty low prices and it is quality resin. Some is from Competition Resins, SMB, Speed City and others as well as vintage resin from makers who are now out of business. As long as the body looks nice, go for it!
  2. That is some really nice work! Go Mark, Go!
  3. "I want my two dollars! Cash!"
  4. Those Hasegawa Toyotas build up really nice!
  5. All I know is that it is ok to do shiny paint jobs on Dragsters! That's right, roundy round cars are not the only race cars in the world! It cracks me up that it always boils down to NASCRAP builds! In the end it is the folks looking at the models on the contest tables that end up admiring "the shiny toy cars"! Just go build something!
  6. I bought two of those kit a few years back. They are from a company in Mexico that was very nice and courteous, until I had a complaint. They put my kits together from what appeared to be leftovers and cast offs. I was not very happy. Pete Johnson got one of them and we both where going to try and re-do the wheels. He figured out which Tamiay tires they used to cast theirs and he has a set. We both came to the conclusion that they used the parts out of the Safari version of the car to use on the ZG nosed car. I look forward to you tackling this one! Jesse C.
  7. Might as well join the fun! Vette and Courier on a great trade with Progplastic! Thanks Jim! The shop from a trade off another board and the Hillbilly Hot Rod and boat off the bay!
  8. I think I may have these decals and a spare Javelin. Mmmmhh........
  9. Not every gasser had a straight axle!!!!! Who cares if is has one or not and I really would rather have the BJM version instead of the cartoon version. Want a straight axle? Get some styrene rod!!
  10. The Cherry Pie is one of my all time favorites! Hopefully I can build mine soon!
  11. I miss seeing him at the California Hot Rod Reunion. Glad his work lives on!
  12. Well, I went to the farewell tour concert and then again two years later!
  13. Dang! I should send you my factory goofs! Nice save!! Get a T-Shirt that says "Ron Saves"! LOL!
  14. Bad Habit Motorsports decals used to make them
  15. I have a 72 Datsun 510 that is getting a Nissan 3.4 Liter V6 engine. It has BRE flares and a Subaru LSD rear end. Should scoot rather nicely when done! My daily is a 2008 Nissan Xterra What can I say, I'm a Nissan Man!
  16. Yeah, some of us are collectors! I keep adding to my stash because of a simple reason, I like model cars!
  17. I built it when I was a kid and thought it was great. Now, not so much. I started one and have yet to finish it. Good luck!
  18. Fremont Resin used to make the Gene Snow decals Correction! I am thinking of the earlier Gene Snow Car! Sorry!
  19. It seems that everytime I turn on one of those Car Auction show, they are selling this car! How many did they clone!! Sorry, I would rather buy something more unique.
  20. Thank you guys! Hopefully I can get to work on some other projects now!
  21. The studio chase in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"!! Come on!
  22. Got my 1/16th scale order of two Blown BBC's and one Arias Hemi Chevy! Very nice stuff! Pics later. And a Voodoo Tactical Bag for my toys!
  23. I originally posted this in the Show Us Your Drag Racers thread, but I felt it needed to be on its own. Used a Jimmy Flintstone body over a Willy Borsch altered chassis. Scrounged up a BBC from the junk pile and made a new front axle to bring the nose up a bit and keep the bumper from scraping. I figured that if Willy could go Funny Racing, then JJ could get wild in an Altered! This was a nice slump buster!
