  1. Oh, yeah....I remember seeing this one in a magazine that may be familiar to some of us, years ago....I was totally amazed, then, and I am, now, as well.....Excellent build....Only one problem, I see....I think you need to post a few more pics of this beauty for us....
  2. Walmarts around here don't sell them anymore....Everytime you go the kits are all opened up, so they can't sell them.....And don't get me started on what people do with spray paint.....I like Hobby Lobby, though....They price their kits that way, because they know you're gonna burn that 40% off coupon and get it for $20, anyway ...They raised the price of the Pete and the KW to $24.99, so with the coupon, it's $14.99 plus tax....I'm ok with that..... But, it's good you found something out of there....Now, what are you doing with the paint, again???
  3. Very original work....Way to black out the chrome and paint the wheels....The white walls are a nice touch, too...
  4. Man, that's CLEAN....Good work, Sir....
  5. No, Sir....They came from the 1/20 scale Pete 359 from Lindberg....I added some plastic to the back and sides and sanded them down to resemble 379 headlights....Not totally accurate, but convincing.....
  6. Very nice builds....I like the Supra the most....In '87, I was very close to buying one of those....I remember when they were brand new....Man, I'm gettin' old...
  7. Very impressive work....Very impressive...
  8. Nice work...These cars always come out good....Whatever you guys are doing, keep it up....
  9. Very nice work....All of these look good....Especially the large cars......I'm a big fan of your work....I've seen a couple of these here and there.....Excellent, clean, and imaginative work.... And, as a side note, I feel you....I can't see how anyone can think they can claim someone else's work as their own....Even if HE did buy it, It's still not HIS work...I'll use your words.....Very low class.....
  10. Nice work on both....Sometimes I think you boys are just crazy For even attempting to do some of the things y'all do, but they always turn out nice....Good job, Man...Good job...
  11. Oh, SWEET!!!! Where did you get those???????Nice....I like those....
  12. Yes, Sir...Very nice....I love the design...Awesome...
  13. Oh, I like it, Sir....Looks very nice....Very clean and aestheticly pleasing.....Making the model look good makes all the difference.....I like them big front steers....Where did you get those?
  14. Some of the best work I've ever seen...Very nice work....Very nice...
  15. I've got the interior complete, now....Here's a few shots of it outside, as well...Thank you all for the interest you've shown in this build....
  16. I built this one about 10 years ago...I found no real problems with it...You'll have a pretty good time of it....Italeri makes some really good race trailers..Although, if you're trying to do an interior, you just may want to wing it....I only built it box stock....The truck ain't too bad, either...I kind of wished I had a Man TGA or something else pulling it, but it cam out pretty good....I had that model for quite some time, until it got knocked off the shelf....I still have the trailer...Painted it black.....I never repaired the truck.... Either way....Have fun...
  17. Actually, I just found out about it, and I'm seriously thinking about it....I'm pretty sure I'll be finished with it by then.....You just may see it there....
  18. Sorry...Just put it in the write-up....59 1/4"....Thanks, I forgot...
  19. Here's what I got on the trailer, right now...Completely scratchbuilt, with the exception of the wheels and tires....They're from the 1/20 scale Lindberg edition Pete.....About to start on the interior....I haven't figured out, exactly, what it's gonna look like, but I have a pretty good idea... Oh, yeah....This thing is just shy of 5' long....59 1/4", to be exact....And 10" tall...
  20. Sorry, it's 1/16 scale.....I just put it in the title....Thanks for bringing to my attention the omission....
  21. Here we go....I finally got it finished, enough, to post it under glass....I'm kinda proud of this one, as I tried something to reinforce the chassis so that it wouldn't sag and it seems to have worked....No discernable sag....I'm happy, happy, happy....Here's a shot of the finished product, first, and then some of the progression... Finally got this one almost all done...The only thing I have to do is connect the turbo to the air cleaners.... It's been raining, but tomorrow is supposed to be pretty nice....Hopefully I'll get some outside shots of it....Hope Y'all enjoy it.... Now it's on to the trailer....
  22. Nice work...Very original and artistic...
