Love it! Dale

I hope you're right, jb. It's been almost a year with zero communication. It'd KILL me personally to run a business this way. Dale

They got me. I won't forget. Dale

Right on! Dale

Just remember who started this topic! Dale

I'm just glad that they're gonna be available! Dale

Thanks all. It's just sad all the stuff you can do extra, and the little things you see in the pics. For instance, I cleaned up the blower intake- the pic showed me how rough it looked. I may start taking pics on Micro with my camera just to look for details like this. Dale

This was a five-day build that was pretty fun, It'll be a surpise for a friend of my late brother who told me last year how he wished he'd built a model of a fire-breathin', Nitro-snortin' Altered when he was younger. I had seven days to build it, and again- although not fancy it will look good on a shelf. I wish I had time to plumb fuel lines, but I have too much "real" work to do. I may get the Goodyear logos put into white, but that's about it. This kit went together very well, with a fair bit of detail. I'd like to build another someday and really tweak it. 'Cuz I like those fire-breathin', Nitro-snortin' Altereds my self. Dale

I see axles in the background? Dale

I'll match that bet. Dale

Ditto. X4. Etc. Dale

Years and years ago Auto World offered these slick decal sheets that you could "rub" on to a surface. They weren't fancy, but they did fill a need. Does anybody offer anything like this today? Thanks. Dale

I'm a trapper, and we deal with really stinky critters regularly. My wife helps and doesn't mind. But she hates the smell of paint. Go figure. Dale

Thanks, guys. Dale

I want to thank everyone who contributes here to help us (old) newbies out. I really learned a lot in my first year back to the hobby, and it wouldn't have happened without your help. Happy New Year, too. Dale

Well, since coming back to the hobby anyway. This was also my first "hurry-up" job. I was at therapy last week when I heard the owner say his dream street rod would be a yellow '55 Chevy pickup. He also said he'd like a modern engine in it. Well, I happened to have a '55 AND a '99 Chevy, so with a little hackin' and choppin' I put it together. It's by no means perfect. but I gave it to him this morning and he looked like a kid at, well, Christmas. The wheels are aftermarket also, because the ones on the kit just didn't work for me. I also dropped the axle until it was almost touchin' the ground up front, and the interior features the '99 bucket seats and steering console to spice it up some. This kit had some pretty bad-fitting features, and I had no time to fix them and still get it done by Christmas. But my goal of "Lookin' good up on a shelf" was acheived. Merry Christmas everyone. Dale

Sweet! Dale

Sorry, I meant- was it scratch-built? Dale

Nice. How about that oil tank? Dale

Foxer, thanks for your service to your country. Dale

One week. Big backs, little fronts, big motors... Okay, I'm bored. I still like the D-O-B deal. Dale

I'm doing up one right now, assembling parts. Not big of a deal- I just can't believe I'm seeing one done up because I've seen no signs of a Track-T since I've came back to the hobby. Very nice car. I was planning on making mine a full race car. The hood panels are the only real issue right now, and powerplant options/vintage/reality is the next big step. Dale

Not in my skill level realm, Doc. Not yet. Keep this thang goin'! Dale

While I'm not a Mustang fan, I've always like the new generation pony's. And I agree with you Harry- your'e buying the best-looking Mustang ever. Seriously sexy, no matter what motor. Dale

Has this idea gone away? Dale
