  1. Hey Thomas, good lookin family, but some how the two words "hockey" and "Hawaii" doesn't go together. Kinda like useing Bikini and Alaska in the same sentence.
  2. I can't complain at all, my wife definatly knew what she was getting into long before we married. Our third date was to the NNL , Tim Boyd wanted to do an article on one of my builds and she thought that was way cool. Now 20 ? years later she attends club meetings, shows, and even helps me at "our" vendor table when we set up. If she isn't with me I'm always asked where Ginger is. She's always checking on my latest builds and I almost always run the color choices by her first. Guess you need to ask your wife for some beer money so you can go to the local strip club, then she might change her mind about you staying home building models. LOL.
  3. There's a guy running a RO23 SS'er car in Div 1.
  4. Got the basic roll cage done today. Also moved the tread width out some by making the control arms longer.
  5. got the intake done and started on getting the chassis tied together
  6. Your close, minimum stager is the primaries have to be inline with each other. There is a drawing on NHRA web site, but I can't find it now. Anyway, this is the intake I'm making for the Dart. Notice how the primaries are inline.
  7. I'm an auto damage / value appraiser. Work for an independant appraisal co. that does work for around 30 different insurance companys.
  8. That old AMT one could be built into something, with a lot of work. I'll be lookibg forward to doing a few of the new Nova's too.
  9. Sweet , I'd like that in my driveway.
  10. I have no idea why our overseas friend chose to rip your post, but I for one always like seeing them and usually get a kick out of them. Your stuff has also made me wonder if there was a market for AMT to do something like that.
  11. In your Fotki, pull up the photo you want , at the bottom of the pic is a box that says "share" Copy that addy. notice at the top of your post here, there are some box's, run your cruser across them and one will say "insert Image", click on it and a box will pop up for your photo address. Good luck
  12. Just finished a '68 HEMI 'Cuda for Wendell Howes...it's a Twin to their Dart but just changed the colors around...got a lot already booked in for the new season. The shirt will go out Monday... Dan , got the T shirt - REALLY COOL. Do you have any pics of Howes new paint ? Bud
  13. Some are Fred Cady , Slixx , and some are from Jack Smith.
  14. From new RM 55 HT kit. Modelhaus wheels, Perry's tires , scratch built headers.
  15. Dan , Checked your models, but was more interested in your 1:1 work. With all that Sportsman lettering you've done I'd thought you would be more into Stock & SS models. Oh, yea - looking forward to getting my T shirt , love that A/SR on the front. Wayne , saw a couple of my builds in your photos too, from a couple of GSL's.
  16. To lower the front, just cut a coil or 2 off the struts and bend the lower control arms up to meet it. Just be sure to cut the same from both sides.
  17. I'm about 80% done with mine. Only flaw I've found is in the belt molding ( thats the side molding that runs along the side windows ) they forget to put the parting line between the door and 1/4. No big deal, and I didn't notice it till after I BMF'd it. And you may need to grind a tad off the bottom of the interior floor at the rear foot area to get the chassis up into the body further, this may have been needed on mine because I put full side windows on mine.
  18. Current rules for Stock Elim is 9"wide and 30" tall max. The loder Jr. Stock rule was 7" max width. The Lindberg Goodyears are 9".
