NYLIBUD

I didn’t build this Funny car,& I’m not sure what scale it is,maybe 1/18th.Anyway,it’s completely made of plastic.Found it at a swap meet this past weekend.Really detailed.Paid $5,yup.Threw it right up on the shelf.

I have two KTMs,an 06 KTM 640 Adventure,Redbull graphics Dakar rally bike.And i recently picked up an 03 KTM EXC 300 2 stroke dual purpose.You hit that power and on the 300,and dam you better hang on.?I don’t really have any good pictures of the 640.You can see part of it behind the EXC.I had a couple of pictures,but i can’t find them on my phone.Its a huge bike..Right now the bike is at a friend’s shop.I Always liked KTMs

Movie/Hollywood stupidity.But i did Google it,and it said”The DeLorean DMC-12 has a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h). However, a review by Road & Track magazine found that the DeLorean with a manual transmission only reached 110 mph (177 km/h). A review by Car & Driver found that the DeLorean with a five-speed manual transmission only reached 117 mph (188 km/h). The Alpha5, the electric successor to the DMC-12, has a top speed of 155 mph”. I guess it depends on how u look at it,but these cars were not very fast,and they should’ve been.Never understand why John DeLorean chose the power plants he installed on his car.Why did he install such a turd of a motor?.The car looked pretty wild for back then.But the motor was a garbage.Why?someone please tell me why he did he dothat??‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️…But i will admit,like Pacers.Gremlins,Pințos,and other cars that i can’t mention here?,the DeLorean starts to grow on you.So yes,even though the car should’ ve been a lot faster,in real life,not the movie.I think they chose 88 mph off their heads and it just stuck.Who knows.?‍♂️

I’ll take the F40.??

Lots of very cool cars.Its amazing how some of them are being taken over by the surrounding nature.Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Wow those are some really nice cars..I like the blue Mustang,and the Dart.Anything pro street.These are a some pro street cars i saw recently at a few shows.

Wild boat,reminds me of a boat on the show Fantomworks.

Looks a little too small to get up to 88 mph.?

I sort of live on a golf course.Sort of set back off any of the greens directly.We have to deal with a lot of geese,swans,other birds.Anyway,I was shooting a quick game with my 21 year old nephew.Of course there were tons of geese and swans all over the course today.All of a sudden my 21 yo nephew takes a shot,hits a goose right in the head,and instantly killed the stupid thing..Now i love animals,but im not a big fan of ANY birds,they just make a mess,they wake me up at the crack of dawn.We had a stupid woodpecker going at it for months.And now there’s some screeching owl that’s is doing its thing at 3AM.??.So im sorry,but all i can think about,was that just took talent,?wow,I mean i couldn’t believe my eyes..Now,Sorry if you like geese,but they are just dirty,nasty creatures.?,who think it’s ok to chase after humans if you get to close to them..No way,?Anyway,that’s what I saw in my yard today.??‍♂️

Very sharp,only problem is,that my painting skills kind of suck.Your build is really nice.??

I slipped down my stairs on my kids toy.And now i think i broke a bone in my foot,and possibly a rib or two.Arrrrgggggg!!!!!????Talk about PAIN.

All three are diecast,but i tried weathering them.I love KTM,and Husky rally bikes.A buddy of mine tried running in the amateur class of the Dakar rally a few years ago,but only lasted two rounds.Thats one TOUGH race for sure.?

I’ve had this kit for years.Finally decided to build it.I owned two of these,an 84,in Garnet Red,and an 88,in a sort of tan/gold.Both great cars.Lots of buttons on the dash,which I never knew what half of them did.Only bad thing was the air bag suspension.I remember one morning as i was going out to work,came outside,and three of the bags were down flat.Cost a lot of money to fix them.Not to mention i needed a new heater core on the 88,dam was that expensive to fix too.Ah it was a Lincoln,what do you expect.????,sheesh..They were both mono chromed,similar to the Special Editions..I think i’ll go with the Garnet red.Does anybody know if someone sells an outlaw/cowl hood for the car?I tried Lex’s,but no go.

Trying to think what color i want to paint it.I might just go with black primer.Still have to finish the interior.And the motor.I have a twin turbo from another build.Hopefully i can get it to fit.

Idk if this is on the same subject.My father,now 86 has slowly been going (down hill,dementia,memory wise).We began noticing changes as early as a year or two ago.He was forgetting little things at first.He remembered names of close relatives,but other simple things,such as things around the house,where to put things away,etc,was beginning to show signs of forgetfulness.My family decided the best thing was to keep his mind as busy as we could.He was doing a lot of trivia,puzzles,etc,on his phone.He also always liked building any type of military models.And he was great at it.His memory began to “rebound”,for lack of a better word a little.Then with in one week,he lost his brother to cancer,and his long time girlfriend dumped him,that bi#%@*..She said he was forgetting things,such as plans and get togethers,and she couldn’t deal with him any longer.Meanwhile,they have known each other since they were kids growing up in the The Bronx..Well then over the last 6,7 months,he stopped pretty much all activities on his phone,stopped building models,and just kind of went into a sort of depressed fog.We tried like crazy to do whatever we could do to keep his mind active,but he just sort of gave up.Now he spends most of his days in bed sleeping for hours.And so the damage has been done.His memory,and cognitive thinking has suffered a great deal.I live with him after my mother passed away.I’am pretty much his only care giver,and dam is it hard.I have to remind him to bath,and eat,etc.Its so hard watching him just melt into an old man that just wants to die,and I’m sure i’ll be the one who finds him passed away in his bed.I mean he told me,he really wants to just go quietly and peacefully in his sleep.A word of advice,the most important thing to do,is be patient,and try to keep the persons mind as active as possible.I guess the only thing i can say,is that my father has given up.Dementia is a horrible condition to be in and to witness.I pray everyday that when I check on him when he’s in his bed,that he answers me,and he’s not gone.Hes always been there for everyone,and he’s always been my best friend.Good luck to all those who are suffering from this awful condition.?

Very cool beater,excellent job.Heres a PO beater i had been working on.The car is being parted out,lol?Many parts are available..Engine runs but has a real bad knock.Selling just for parts as a roller.Car slammed into the rear of a semi while giving chase.Lol?

One of the coolest Chargers ever built..Great job.

Great job,the turntable and music was a great add on.

Great job,I just picked one up today at Hobby Lobby,40% off.Looks like a great kit.Your build came out great with the very well done white paint job.Car POPS!!!?

That’s odd,it should go right to their ebay store.

So I found this scoop,and a light went on in my head.Why not try to build a Warren Johnson Prostock.Olds..I know SLIXX along with some other companies that make the WJ decals for the car.See if I can actually pull it off.But if not,I’lll use the outlaw hood,and build it as a regular drag car/Pro street…Gotta love them G bodies.

Great job.Really like the color.

Awesome,

Very cool build so far.Reminds me of an old kit i did by making a Lincoln stretch Town Car limo pro street.Too bad one of my cats flicked it off the top of my shelf,rendering the model “destroyed”,for lack of a better word.

It’s pretty crazy how different cars look today,compared to the 70s-80s hot rods.But hey that was the style back then.
