I have been having 404 error issues with sending PM's to different people. Each one of them have involved some part of a trade transaction. Is there a list of the "offensive" words so I can communicate without having to go the email route?

Definitely one fine looking MOPAR. I really like the mid 60's Dodge/Plymouth drag cars. They were just too wicked. As far as making a set of fenderwell headers using solder I did a set for my SCRambler, I think they came out pretty well.

Yep, those do hang on for years.

Does the Foose Impala have a complete floorpan on the chassis? The Revell 65 Lowrider and 66 Streetburner (basically same kit with different bodies and engines) both have a partial floorpan on the chassis, and the interior has a separate floor section. I have not built either kit, but it appears the front section of the interior floor is supposed to finish off the rest of the floor pan attached to the chassis. If this is too confusing I will try to get pictures later for a better explanation.

My prediction is a Kansas City/Green Bay superbowl and GB will be victorious because the refs will protect Rogers from any and all touches.

I saw a you tube or maybe it was a suggestion on here that spoke of using compressed air to clear clogged spray cans. The idea is to remove the nozzle, soak it in thinner. Then take (Brain dead this morning, CRAT [can't remember a thing]) the piece that fits into a wheel for blowing up a tire, over the stem of the can and use short spurts of light air pressure to unclog the siphon tube. Haven't tried it yet but have several cans to practice on. When I was getting my late parents house ready for renovation I found a box of some of my 60's cans of AMT spray paints - candies, and other types - am going to try to see if they are salvageable.

The underlying paint was actually Future over a polished body. So I dipped the whole body into Windex with ammonia and it cleaned it right up. Had to repolish a couple of areas, reapplied the Future, and left the small chrome trim black.

I built one of these several years ago and the main issue I had was getting the front inner fender wells to fit around the wired engine. Finally had to install the engine from the top after the body was partially in place. Really like the looks of your paint job and the overall build.

I have mixed reaction to these pens. I was trying to do real fine trim around a window area. All went well until I tried to turn the corner and the pen "puked" down the side of the car. Up until that point I was pretty well satisfied with the application. Maybe I held it too long in one place or possibly put a bit more pressure while making the turn, either way I have to strip the car and start over.

One wicked Mustang. Should give "the Crow" and "Murder Nova" a run for their money. Your modeling skills are outstanding.

If it came from a North Carolina post office I would believe it probably did take a detour through Honolulu on its way to Arizona. I live in NC and have had some bizarre shipping. I live in western NC and sent a package to a friend who lives close to the coast, the package left Greensboro went to Toledo, Cincinnati, Richmond and finally to my friend. Other packages I have shipped or had shipped to me have take circuitous routes before delivery. I sent a registered letter to my cousin. I tracked it for almost ten days, finally went to the local PO and asked them to track it; it was lost somewhere in the outer limits. My cousin wrote me and told me he had received it, according to USPS tracking it was still in the system and due for delivery.

It takes a bit of work, but I agree with MrMike. I did one, it is still in the WIP stage, so I have no finished pictures, but I do have this one.

They may have been modified stockers, but they looked like something from the show room. I did notice David Pearson had a cigarette lighter in his car. Nice video.

Nice work on this one. I am always amazed at the intricate work involved in building these chassis and the other detail work. I am kind of concerned wit the T-tops, wouldn't that make the whole body flex under hard acceleration?

It's a Mustang, it is "rearing" to go. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Vince, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Place your trust and faith in GOD, He will get you through this.

I think I would try the Root Beer candy, if you can find it. Back when this kit first came out, candy color was "what you had to have to be cool." Just thinking about the Mazmanian Willys coupe, and some of the other "professional" gassers. But then it is your build , so go for it.

Another story of high-priced auctions. A local auction company advertised a box of older models. I went down, looked through the box, found some boxes that could probably sell for $10-15 at a model show, some parts of a couple of the older Trophy Series kits (40 Ford Coupe and 32 Roadster) there was a fairly nice 59 Buick hardtop, a couple different built T-Birds, and a 60 (?) Ford truck. When the box came up I had decided my top bid would be around $150. The auctioneer started at $260 and the box ended up selling for over $500. Guess my pricing skills are a bit off.

Got some cash, new bedroom slippers, a couple restaurant gift cards, and a Lowes gift card. My wife and I decided that next year we are going to Pay-it-Forward and get a couple of Angel Tree children rather than swapping money between ourselves. When she asked what I wanted/needed for Christmas, I could not think of a single thing, other than the bedroom slippers; her reply was the same. I have over 200 unbuilt kits so plastic is not high on my list at the moment. Hope all had a wonderful Christmas.

Haven't tried this combination. However, I did try try the Riviera Lowrider body and the wheelbases did not match, the Chevelle was much shorter. That being said, drag out the Xacto knives and saws and give it a shot.

I will probably do the Louisville Hauler, it will require less modification. If I have time I will attempt the KW.

That is one mighty fine looking F-1. AS others have said it is a mirror of the real one and difficult to tell apart.

I will try to get into this build-off. Will either build a heavily modified Louisville Hauler or a 1/32 KW T600A also considerably modified. Both builds have been in the "brain" (for lack of a better word) planning for a few years.

Looks like it would be a neat scratchbuild for someone with the talent, and I have seen a few on this forum that could tackle it. Not sure if I would want to be in that cab in a head-on, especially with that much trailer weight over your head.

That is one of the main issues I have with the Tamiya paint stand, I have buggered up a few paint jobs because I picked it up to paint along the rocker panels and forget about the two piece. Rushing and painting do not mix.
