    My first ship.

    Looks great!! I'm a big fan of U.S. Navy heavy cruisers, especially the New Orleans class, but most of the rust and severe weathering takes place on the hull on an active duty warship. Work parties aboard ship  would be kept busy chipping and painting all metal surfaces from the main deck up, and holy stoning the decks or applying deck blue camo stain to the wood. ;)

    The "LOT"

    We grew up on a small street in a dirty old steel mill town. Yeah, we had to find ways of having fun without ticking the neighbors off too. It didn't always work either..:P we used to use black powder to blow up mail boxes, and one time, an old ringer washtub basin. The mushroom clouds that stuff sent up was HUGE. Try that stuff NOW, and it's a trip to the slammer, and rightly so. We were hard headed kids who thought that doing stuff like that was fun.:lol: Dad finally caught us and brought that stuff to a very sudden and painful end. Our favorite target was a old garage at the end of the street where a lot of the older kids hung out. You either learned to run fast, or stand and fight.

    Wow!

    I was surprised when I looked at these photos.

    Paul built a '60 Dodge Dart that is nearly an exact twin to the Dart that I built!

    The roof treatment & the wheels are a little different.

    Great minds think alike I guess! :D

    Does this mean that I could get nearly $800.00 for mine too? ;)

    Um....yea,the Jeep is fine.

    Thanks guys

    It could be the crank position sensor.(?) It's a smallish gadget bolted to the back side of the bell housing on the drivers side. It uses a plug so you'll need a set of pliers to get it apart, and about every drive extension and gooseneck extension you own. It's best to jack up the drivers side front and reach it from underneath. If that sensor goes, it's about like the older Plymouths ballast resistors, when it goes, it kills EVERYTHING. Simple part, simple fix, huge PITA when it goes bad.... The crank sensor used to run about $50 or so. If you have a garage do it, they'll prob tell you they need to pull the tranny.  Hope this helps.

    Same here Troy!! Loved the '32. I'd like to give a shout out to Stockboresme for a great trade as well. Both great guys to trade with!!

    EDIT: StockBoresMe has stung some of the member on this board and some of my friends too, so until he proves himself otherwise, trade with him AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

    Another 71 Mach1 in the works

    Yes - the ones with the stock interior can be pricey.  I'm accepting these kits for what they are since there are not any realistic alternatives.   One of my builds will be a lot more detailed but since I want to build a dozen 71-73's I am keeping most of them simple.

    I just bought this kit. I hope it turns out looking as good as this one. Sharp build!!
