  1. That looks AMAZING. Love those body lines.
  2. You know, that concept might just work in 1:1. The weight distribution with a 289 or 302, maybe all wheel drive with a slight lift and some aggressive tires. HHmmmmmm... Not on a REAL Shelby, that would prob get you burned at the stake. Lol. But a repro, or kit car..... ? Food for thought. Thanks for sharing Ray.
  3. Welcome William. And thanks for the link JC. Now THAT is interesting.
  4. Maybe GM will throw in one of those nose cover things to hide this mess. What would MSRP be on this thing? 40 to 50 grand fully loaded? NO THANKS. No wonder import trucks are so popular.
  5. That is stunning. I can't say enough good things about Chiefs stuff, resin or rubber, decals too. I have ordered from him on several occasions and have LOVED everything! His parts are top self.
  6. My father and grandfather both worked and retired from Weirton Steel. They are now demolishing it for scrap. . We ( my brothers and I), took it for granted that we would graduate high school and go into the mill for work. WRONG. After 39 years dad retired and told all us boys that we had better find a different way to make a living cuz Steel was circling the drain. That was in 1983.
  7. Same here. . Snow this a.m., then more rain later..... I give up.
  8. US Army SP4 88 to 94. Mostly in Germany.
  9. Thanks for the vid Ace. We have 5 (!) cats, all caught wild. Now they are contented spoiled couch potatoes.. Our most recent addition is a Maincoon kitten, and he's growing into a real monster. They all go NUTS for boxes of any type, which makes pulling out a kit a bit risky, but one or two of them are close by or on my lap while I build. Since the wife can't have children, our pets, cats and dogs, are our kids. They get Christmas presents every year, and cat nip when we just can't take they're antics anymore. We get them fixed, but we don't declaw them. Thankfully they all seem to get along and don't destroy stuff, as long as we have plenty of boxes and scratchy posts, carpet cat condos around. We must make good wait staff.
  10. More proof the Movie industry has officially run out of ideas..... Sad. BUT, people still pay $$$ to go see the remakes.
  11. It may be a tube to force air into the crank case to vent it.(?).
  12. Nice save on the Vicky Snake! It really has the " look" of a vintage hot rod. Love It?
  13. AMEN brother!!???
  14. Great movie!!???
  15. Gotcha covered Bill.??. And I'll add 2 more.??. Beautified build!! It does sit just right.
  16. Sweet Mustang Ken!!
  17. Sleeper!! Sleeper!!
  18. Love that old school hot rod look Ray! Wide whites on big-n-little steelies, a nice rake.... Sweet build.
  19. Ain't that the truth!!! I thought we had the most "Alfa hole" drivers in this area, they even pull this nonsense on fully loaded semi's around here. There has been an uptick in fatalities due to these people playing chicken with fully loaded oil well rigs. Seen the results of quite afew head ons cuzz of these bozo's.
  20. It looks good!! If a ship is on active duty in a combat zone, the crews would be at battle stations more often than doing ship maintainance. The San Fransisco was at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, and she was on active duty pretty much non stop right up till the night she was almost sunk off Guadalcanal in a night action with the Japanese. Shortly Before that battle took place, the after fire control station was crashed by a shot down Japanese dive bomber. Bent that area up some, but she was still on active deployment, so she stayed on station. That night action off Savo island sound produced 3 Medals of Honor for members of the Frisco's crew. She's quite a ship with a rich history. Your building her just fine Andre. Nice to see a fellow ship modeler here.
  21. Just finished a trade with Mike 999. Great guy to trade with!! Would trade with again any time!!
  22. Thanks for the trade Mark. Would trade with you again any time man!!
