I know what you mean, my holy grail is a '65 Chevelle SS. Had one with a 283 4-speed, loved that car. Unfortunately, one night after consuming some adult beverages I cleared out three fence posts and a bunch of barbed wire. Mostly superficial body damage, I towed it home and planned on building it into a Modified Production or Stock class car. However, my Dad sold it while I was overseas. It was officially his car, he signed the loan and title.

Exceptional work on this Mustang. Your love for this machine is obvious in the amount of detail you have put into it. I've always wanted a Mustang, the closest I've got is my 1980 Pinto.?

TarheelRick replied to dietgilroy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Is it by chance molded in pink styrene? -
I have no knowlage on posting photos.
TarheelRick replied to Craig Irwin's topic in How To Use This Board
I connect my phone to the computer with a cable, download the photos, then post them to the forum as Tim explained. -
Loved the SHO. You have done a very impressive job rebuilding this one, not only in redoing the kit but also in the overall concept of the build.

T3 Westfalia
TarheelRick replied to avidinha's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Beautiful pair of Westfalias, especially like the T-2. Mine was a '72, blue with a white top. Have kicked myself in the posterior several times for getting rid of it. Do you have any interior shots? -
What did you see on the road today?
TarheelRick replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Met a beautiful 67 Chevelle. It was light purple, tires all the way across the back, and a set of wheelie bars hanging under it. Looks like it just drove out of the AMT Chevelle Pro- Street box. Of course I was heading in the other direction at a modest number above the posted and my telephone is strapped under my seatbelt, so I didn't get any pictures. -
Holloman & McKinney 1957 Chevy C/MP circa 1964
TarheelRick replied to R. Thorne's topic in Drag Racing
Sweet little Modified Production, everything about it fits the era very well. -
An amazing rebuild. All the small details just bring the whole thing to life. That Flathead is an amazing piece of modeling.

Dick Landy Hemi Dart & the Billy the Kid Pro Stock Dart
TarheelRick replied to Maurice Henderson's topic in Drag Racing
A couple of really nice-looking builds. To me that era of drag-racing was what drag-racing was all about. Build it, haul it to the track, and run it to the floor all the way through the lights. Real drag cars do not need brake lights. -
The Rite-Aid near me has been a Doller Tree for quite some time.

Some very nice drawings. I see you have a penchant for VWs, so do I.

Somehow this one snuck by me. You have built a very sweet Bug, really like your color selection. I had a '67 for a couple of years, you could move the floor mat and see the highway under your feet, but it got me there and back - most of the time. Sold it and bought a '72 Westphalia, I've kicked myself in the backside several times for getting rid of that one.

The motor from the MPC Indy Lotus Turbine Car push tractor should work, or maybe the go-cart engine in the AMT 60 Chevrolet truck kit.

Very nice build, excellent decal work. The car has just dumped the clutch so the front-end will rise considerably - that's my story and I'm sticking to it. May have to try to locate one of these. Saw a couple in a Hobby Lobby down in Matthews, NC, but that is quite a distance from me.

Just tried it and it opened with three options on blue bars: Model Kits, Revell Models, BMX Models. When I clicked on Model Kits it changed to another black screen with a bunch of small print and a blue bar: Visit our Website. When I clicked that blue bar the HobbyLinc website opened up. Not sure what that has to do with Dirt Modeler.

Dave, we really appreciate your work to keep this site working. -
Forum website has been sluggish for the last few days
TarheelRick replied to peteski's topic in How To Use This Board
Forum worked fine when I first loaded it, then rather quickly went down hill. I switched from Chrome to Firefox, still no difference. Very slow loading, especially pictures, also slow loading of replies. Can take as long as 35-40 seconds or longer to open a page. At first I closed the forum, then reopened it, still no difference. This reply is being submitted with Firefox. -
Very nice build, especially like the color. Even though I am a died in the wool Ford guy, I wouldn't mind having one like this parked on my carport.
