  1. Double what Gator said. The Era the truck is from, they had some pretty ridiculous length laws, hence the 40 foot trailers and COEs dominating the road.
  2. The spell check on my phone changes the spelling of Michaels. But yes, there are many words it doesn't know, and some words we've never heard of. I bought the 2 29 Roadsters I have from Phoenix area Hobby Lobbys. The HL near me has a spot, but it's been empty for about a month.
  3. The one I can't not build without, pin vise. The nail boards, knifes, tweezers, glue, cutters, small screwdrivers, clamps, q-tips, saw, pencil are all great too. The best thing I've bought is my pin vise.
  4. Guess I'm lucky it's really convenient for me. The hotel we stay at is on Dysart. I deliver up near Superior, so HD is along the way. Just a mile or so off the 60. I really like it there. I bought paint while I was there for my 29 Roadster build, and some other stuff. Went in just for styrene rod, came out about 100 bucks later.
  5. Looks pretty good to me. I'm still tracking down parts for my TT. I've got tires figured out, how I'm gonna about the suspension, but I'm still unsure about the motor and trans. Yours is lookin great. Very nice work gettin the engine location set back far enough.
  6. Cool old school take on an American motors ports icon.
  7. I don't think Hobby Lobby is goin anywhere, for awhile. They have much more than just hobby related stuff.
  8. Got my Krawlers today. Let me say, they look awesome. The rims look great. I will be putting an order in for 3 more sets, at least. Very nice stuff.
  9. Just got home today. My order was there waiting for me. I must say, very, very nice stuff. The tires are amazing. The rims look awesome. Thanks man. Excellent products.
  10. Lookin really good John. This will be definitely be a special build. Can't wait to see what you do next on this.
  11. Thanks for checkin in Carl. Dennis, it's rod and I'm free handing with a lighter.
  12. I was just at HD yesterday. I really enjoy going in there. Dick is a really nice guy, always willing to help out. I'm willing to pay a little more and keep money going into a LHS. I never went into HT, it was a bit out of my way. Still sad to it closed up with inventory still inside.
  13. We just lost our oldest cat, 16 years old, last week. I remember having to put my Dad's dog down, 2 years after he past away. That was the roughest thing I've had to do. He was at my Dad's side when he past away. It's been almost 9 years since my dad past, 7 years for his dog. I still have moments.
  14. I got a little done tonite. I picked up some .08 styrene rod and started bendin. I got the it "spare tire" cut out. The new spares fit just how I wanted. Gettin the rear cage goin in the right direction. The "bars" going to front of the bed and through the top of cab will have the appearance of being connected to the interior cage. I'm gonna make a very simple interior cage, not gonna get to carried away with it. Hopefully my tires from Fireball will be at the house waiting for me when I get home tomorrow so next time at the bench I can get those figured out. Here are a few pics of the progress.
  15. Looks great dude. I'm lookin forward to seeing you tackle the interior.
  16. I'm not a Sci fi guy, at all. I really thought I'd never meet another person who hasn't seen SW. I only watched maybe a handful of X-Files. Too bad Jillian doesn't look as good as she once did. I think an excellent replacment could be Jennifer Lawrence. Get Bradley Cooper too, he would be good replacment for David Duchovny. I'd watch it for Ms. Lawrence. She's a hottie.
  17. I'm picking a few these up soon. I can't wait after seeing the awesome builds. Hope mine will fit in here.
  18. I don't know if I could build something, then sell it. Guess that's why it's my HOBBY, not my business.
  19. I really that blue and white Pete. I saw a KW that really got me thinkin. Guess I need a Pete too. When my wife starts yellin, I'm blamin you guys.
  20. Thanks man. I do the best I can with equipment I have, my phone. I try to block the sun, but every once in awhile I'll get my hand or finger.
  21. I didn't know the new show started already. I'll be tuning in. I've watched a few of his Garage videos on youtube, pretty enjoyable. I liked his appearances on My Classic Car, I remember thinkin then I'd rather see him than Dennis Gage.
  22. 917 bucks, WOW. I guess if you build it, they will come. Whoever it is that bought it, must have a thing for Torinos.
