  1. once i get my photobucket working ill post some pics. but im in with a '57 chrysler 300C, well body that is!
  2. which kits is that 2jz motor in? the supra I have has no motor. Was also thinking about a Nissan RB26 does one of those exsist in scale?
  3. don't care about brand or size but its going in a Toyota supra, so it needs to be a rwd. can be resin or kit. looking for something tuner ish not sticking a v8-12 American style motor in it.
  4. Im looking for opinions on what is the best tuner motor in scale? 1/24-1/25
  5. flat black also works great to seal colored plastic.
  6. I have two projects on the workbench for this and as soon as I can upload the pics ill post them. Im building a Toyota supra and a Chrysler 300. Both far from stock
  7. if you build one i would be interested in seeing it, as long as there is a way to do it without getting in trouble. On a side note I dont see why some companies get so uptight about models, they are actually decient modeling. For me I fell inlove with model peterbilts first then the full size one.
  8. I want to see what it would do in -40 cold, Guessing it would freeze just like everything else.
  9. Haven't decided what to build yet but im thinking of maybe something with some class and some serious power. Pretty sure my last cannonball entry a giant dodge van with two motors collapsed the first bridge it crossed. This year im goining lighter.
  10. looking great. how did you do the hinges on the lockers?
  11. why dont they just hire a desendent of the mayans to add some more years to the calender?
  12. I see more but ill just point out the first two. The oil drum is spilling oil on the ground and the welding helper has no mask on. Also is that welder scratchbuilt or did you get it from somewhere it looks very accurate.
  13. thanks for all the suggestions, i decided on the lindburg dodge dakota. I think its a nice combination of some glueing, some painting and not too complicated.
  14. Ive been given the task of finding a good model for a first time modeler who is 14 years old. Im thinking that a prepainted 32 amt ford. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
  15. I built a giant van with two motors a few years ago for one of these. Im excited to get into another one.
  16. remind her to take a nap and then sneak off to the workbench for an hour. noone tell my wife my trick!!
  17. Do you have a pic of what your looking for? I should have something close in my parts box for you.
  18. nice start. how did you do the parking lot pavement?
  19. it looks good, the only thing i would change is to get a diffrent hitch on there one that dosent look like a toy.
  20. big rig modlers are always looking for more variety. I think if its done well and a decient price you could sell some for sure.
  21. not the easyest of kits to lower. one option is to z the frame. another is to shave everything thiner for a slight drop. The front is just a matter of moving the mounting for the springs up on the frame. It depends on how drastic you want to go. Id say just stick it together dry and see where you can get some height.
