  1. I call it Swamp thing 2.Its just a basic 3D printed 66 Promod Nova.I tried weathering it,but I think I used too much rust.I love the real Swamp Thing,that car is insane.The model has a full chassis from a diecast pro stock car,and Pegasus top fuel rear slicks,,,but no motor.
  2. Nevermind sorry
  3. Yea losing an hour of my beauty sleep,by having to turn the clocks forward last night.It just always seems to me,that we are changing our clocks earlier and earlier,in the spring and fall.I don't know,maybe it's just me.But all I know,like I said,is that I lose an hour of sleep.Ah what are ya gonna do.
  4. I've gotta say that the winter here in NY,has not really been that bad overall.We only got around 8-10 inches of snow for the whole season.Thats nothing compared to most of our winters.And the temps haven't even that bad.We had a few cold days,here and there of course,and some wind,but nothing too bad at all.I was able to work on my car in my driveway throughout the winter,which has been great..But of course now that I wrote this,we are going to get a lot of snow for March.But let's hope not.?Anyway,no real complaints about the weather in my neck of the woods this year.
  5. What pleased me was that I was able to install a new center console in my police intercepter Crown Vic.Easy as anything.Just pulled out the old one,and re drilled my new one in,1,2,3.And a friend of mine,and myself were able to install a lower front chin spoiler,which I really think beefs up the front end.First we drilled the holes on the chin spoiler,then lined it up,and used self tapping screws that I bought.We just went along,drilling every foot or so.We used about 10 self tapping screws.We also put on a double sided tape small spoiler,right above the rear window.So everything went on perfect.And that never happens.Plus it was only about 30 degrees out.
  6. So I put on the lower front lip spoiler on the Crown Vic.I think it looks pretty good.We drilled it on with the hardware I bought and took us about an hour.But it was cold out.And a rear window,sort of deflector spoiler on top of the rear window..Thats the best I can explain it.And I installed the center console,and thats nice,& tight.So I just have to hook up the gauge pod????.Do that in the Spring
  7. This is a very easy one....But what the heck...Hello Carlos.
  8. Thanks guys
  9. Excellent,if you locate a Resin body,please let me know.
  10. Yup I think he died on Feb 10th,but it was the first I've heard of it.Yea I liked his acting a lot,as well.I believe he was also a stuntman,and did a lot of his own stunts.
  11. It's weird,I actually thought he died years ago from a drug overdose.I guess I was thinking of somebody else.
  12. I know I messed up and hit post before I finished.
  13. Oops sorry,I hit post before I finished writing about his death.I think he died in the beginning of February.Its just the first time I heard about it...He was 74.He was hospitalized,and during his hospitalization,he died of heart problems.He also had a leg amputated a few years back due to an infection.He was in alot of movies,and tv shows.Including Hooper with Burt Reynolds.I remembering hearing that he wasn't the easiest actor to work with,and was known for his short temper...RIP
  14. (Did you mean to write Am I the only one tired of this cold weather?)If so,I certainly am done with this weather.But I hate the heat more than I hate the cold.But spring is coming soon.
  15. You going to build the Caprice,right?
  16. Yea Ive bought some really nice real rubber slicks from Pegasus.Only problem is,they are getting harder and harder to find.However,I just lucked out,and found a set,with the wheels and Goodyear tire decals on eBay.Im going to check out those wheels from Ron Olson. Thanks
  17. Tyrone your builds are just wild.You make them look so easy.I'll be following this build.I was working on a big tire Mustang a few months back,but the build sort of stalled.Ive get to get back to it.Yours looks great.
  18. Try a local small pharmacy.You get better service with an independent store,than with one of the chains.I was using Wallgreens for awhile,but I got sick and tired of their LACK of service..And the CVS near me used to always keep me on hold for at least 15 mins.So no more CVS,that's for sure.
  19. Well I went to get my mail yesterday,and noticed my mailbox wasn't there.Hmm.So I got closer and saw that it was broken and smashed in three big pieces.It was definitely damaged by a snow plow that got a little to close to the curb.My mailbox is not hanging over in the street.Its set enough far back that a plow shouldn't have hit it...I don't know,I guess maybe the driver wasn't paying attention to what he was doing...Anyway I called the local highway dept,told them what happened,and I was surprised when they said they would install a temporary one until the ground thaws,and then the will install a permanent one,at no charge.The Hwy dept stated that there is a list of homes who have the same problem,but that they will try to fix it asap..At least my mail man is being cool about it.He's nice enough to leave my mail in a plastic bag at my front door.Oh and I installed the mailbox in November,and it wasn't that cheap.Oh well,I guess I'll just wait to see what happens.
  20. Wild,just wild.Great job..Where did you get those rear tires and wheels?
  21. Got the new console.I'm gonna put that in this week..And like I said,still waiting on a small front chin spoiler,under the bumper.
  22. The Ferrari Modula Pininfarina Coupe.Hope I said that right...Wild looking car.I think it won at Pebble Beach a few years back.And I think it's a 1970.Ive never seen one.
  23. Very nice.
  24. Yea I remember seeing those cars when you posted them.I love them.I just like police cars,any brand.
