  1. All I did was gently heat the front leaf springs and push until the bottomed out on the frame. Not realistic I know, but hey it worked lol.
  2. Almost finished. Just needs minor details worked out and it'll be done. Color is Krylon Pumpkin Orange, everything else is box stock except the Cragars and the MAD distributor. Thanks for looking.
  3. Thank you sir. It's coming along nicely
  4. Hey gang...decided to pick up the GMC wrecker kit. I had an extra cab from the silly Boyd Hauler box to donate. I think it'll be pretty cool when it's done.
  5. Thanks guys. Jonj238, I used a lighter and just rolled the exhaust in my fingers back and forth, being careful to not get the plastic too hot.
  6. Thanks fellas.
  7. Thanks guys, no I don't know them. They came on a set of Slixx (I believe) decals.
  8. Thanks guys!
  9. ....Purplicious. One of my favorite colors.....moved the leafs inward so I didn't have to cut the fenders out. Used wheels from the parts box. Enjoy.
  10. Hey guys, I tried building this one to look like it had been on the road non-stop it's entire life. Enjoy.
  11. Another "low buck" Mustang. I tried making it look like a local race team who didn't have tons of money. Enjoy.
  12. Hey guys, just showing off my Hemi 'Cuda. Wanted it to be built like a weekend racer at a local IHRA track or similar. Not some $100,000 car with major sponsors, hence the local decals. Hope you enjoy.
  13. If you (and her) can imagine it, you can build it. Waiting on progress pics.
  14. Thanks fellas. When I get home from work I will be ordering.
  15. Is there somebody that makes and sells the dog dish hubcaps for the '68 Roadrunner? I recently picked up the AMT kit and would like to build it as "no frills" as I can. Thanks.
  16. Thanks guys.

  18. Back a couple years ago, two teenage brothers named John and Joe were walking home from school. They cut through old man Noah's closed down welding business lot. They looked over in the corner, and under a tarp was something special. They could only see the bottoms of the fenders but they knew they had found something cool. They lifted the corner of the tarp and saw a mid 50's Ford pickup. It was in pretty rough shape, but appeared to be complete, minus the seat, engine, and transmission. The glass and body had bullet holes in them, the gas cap was gone, and there were a few dents. The wood from the bed was gone. And so started a plan. The next day, they stopped in and talked to Richard Noah, the son of the long since passed Elmer Noah. Richard told the boys that the truck was used as a mobile welding truck in the 60's and 70's and had been sitting since 1979. The million dollar question was "is it for sale?" Richard Noah said he could do better than that. He told them to come back with a trailer and it was theirs. The boys, not believing their luck, ran home to tell their parents of their "diamond in the rough" and the great price they paid for the "junk" as their mother put it. They got the truck home where it lived in the back yard, in pieces, for two years. Every day after school they were tinkering with it, sometimes not getting anything accomplished at all. Eventually, it had a new seat, new transmission, and a 351 with a super rare Cross Boss manifold setup sourced from a swap meet, and a new battery. They found some steel wheels and sandblasted them and repainted them. They left the rest of the truck alone, other than lowering it a bit. Last time I saw it, it was racing down Main Street. (the battery is now painted black, lol)
  19. Love it. The Van Halen and AC/DC cassettes are a great touch!
