  1. 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.
  2. Thank you guys! Hopefully I can get to work on some other projects now!
  3. The studio chase in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"!! Come on!
  4. 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!
  5. 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!
  6. As seen on T.V.! Me and Rafter Man from Full Metal Jacket! And sorry, Paul, but I had her first!
  7. I joined the Revell and Monogram clubs when I was a kid. It sucked that you could not choose what you wanted for kits and I quit after I kept getting stuff I did not want or like. I joined up with AMT when they had the Blueprinter deal. I liked the exclusives they did and It would be cool to have something like that again!
  8. ebay and kit shows both have their place in this hobby. For the sellers, shows are a great way to quickly clear out some stuff and ebay is a good place to get the most out of a sale, if you let it sell at a fair market price and not and inflated "buy it now" price. What irks me is when show sellers ask "that is what they are selling for on ebay" prices. My answer to them is usually, "then put them on ebay!" For buyers, shows offer a great way to stock up on kits selling cheaper than current LHS prices. I know we should support our LHS', but when you can buy three kits for the price of one, all is fair. As for ebay, it is a great way to find some pretty rare stuff, but, be ready to pay for it if it comes down to that. You mileage may vary!
  9. Should have specified that the first one is on my work computer, this is on my home computer!
  10. I have those in both 1/16th and 1/25th. I got mine before Woopiekat made them. They also had the corrected M/T Gran Am decals for the yellow car and some Chi Town ones. I have no idea who made them before Woopiekat
  11. Nice car, but not original. I have seen time capsule cars and they did not have all the hokey doodads on them. You can call it a survivor but not all original.
  12. Awesome! Reminds me of the Tiki in Trilogy of Terror!
  13. Very nice! That is one car that needs to be done in 1/25th!
  14. I think they are fine for what they are and have enjoyed building them for some time now!
  15. Made it to the Semi Finals in 7.0 Pro before the trans let go. And we had to finish on Monday!
  16. One of the best looking racers of all time! Well done!
  17. Nice save! Keep us posted!
  18. Cool! is this using the Malco Mustang or ?
  19. That is gorgeous! Nice job!
  20. Just a quick build I finished last week. Used a Jimmy Flintstone body, Bantam Blast Chassis, Parts box BBC and Slixx Decals. Paint is Tamiya Metalic Blue with Testors Wet Clear. I figured that if Willy Borsch could go Funny Car racing, Jungle Jim could go Altered Driving!
  21. Those Penske cars always looked sharp! Very nice, great job!
  22. That came out very nice! Great job!
