  1. Thanks and that's just what I'm afraid of Carl. lol. Actually I am hoping to find a front disc brake kit for this thing while I'm there.
  2. In defense of ourselves, looking back, these were merely stepping stones to the skills we all have now.........thank God!!! lol
  3. Here's mine from my mid to late teens. Notice the cap gun "caps" under the leaf springs for added ride height. Wow! LOLOLOL. It was up higher before the rear end fell from the backs of the wheels in all those years at my parents house. I guess we all have to come from some where!! and this is on her good side......... Like I was sayin....at least yours had plug wires............. Definitely all late 70's/ early 80's talkin' here!
  4. Dude I've seen folks who were trying and didn't come close to this good!!! I'm with Tommy.....it aint half bad!! (it don't matter 'bout the plug wires either! At least your's has got 'em)
  5. . Yes sir..............That is over the top. Figuratively and technically speaking.
  6. This is gonna be one cool ride pal!
  7. Thanks Carl and Greg!! Been sick for the last few days but am on the mend now. I'm getting all set for the IPMS show in Houston this weekend so progress will be a little slow until I get back as I'm prepping 3 builds to take up there.
  8. Heya Kevin.........where ya at dude?
  9. I'll be seconding that motion!
  10. I'll add my to say that overall she's a beauty!! As far as plug wires go, and this is to add to what Niko recommended, Lex's Scale Modeling great wire available in all kinds of colors. Here's a link for you for next time: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ignition-Spark-Plug-Wire-in-Blue-1-24-1-25-Models-3FT-/120772775997?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1e9e503d Again, great build overall Justin!!
  11. Just an idea but have you thought about a mild wash on that alternator to help bring the detail out a little?
  12. Heya JC! Man you sure do know how to make an engine do everything but run!!! That thing is spot on!
  13. Dude that is one helluva motor you've got there!!! Way to go!!! Will love to see this car on the Draglites too! Great choice in wheels!
  14. Scott: An animated hobby kit. That is wild! Pete: Wow!!! Are going to build any of that?? Matija: How old is that Trumpy kit?
  15. Turned the attention back to the motor today. Got the distributor in and the L/H bank of plug wires on... (these were a pain in the butt to do!!! Normal V-8's I can just drill a hole in the head and have somewhere to put 'em. These? Not a chance!)
  16. Man don't say that "H" word too loud!! My son would go nuts!!! lol Hope you're doin' good Fred.
  17. This thing literally jumps out off of the page at you. Can't wait to see this thing................in person?
  18. Oh ok. I apologize for not reading thoroughly. I was gonna say....... Still, it's a good looking build man.
  19. Verrrrry nice build Jim!! Your detail work just blows me away man!!!!
  20. That's Krylon? I wouldn't have guessed! I do like these old trucks.
  21. There aint nuthin' wrong with that JC!!
  22. What's the detail like on that Hino? Definitely never seen one of those before!
  23. Freekin shweeet!!! Where did you get the little cart and display case kits at??
  24. Looks to be a clean shine on that paint job there Jeff!!! Lookin' good.
