  4. THNX AGAIN ALL!
  5. Tina told me to tell you, thank you so much for your comments and for checking it out!
  6. Thanks so much,guys! Sorry, I cant remember what I used for the base of the antenna. I do know that it was a "washer" looking photo etch part from DM, and the rest of it was a piece of sparkplug boot painted chrome silver. the wheels are either from Hoppin Hydros, or Pegasis. Sorry I cant remember, it was built in 1998. Some time, I will build another one to look like it does today.
  7. LMBO!!!! Cant remember!!
  8. Hi, guys! thanks for your comments! I really do -humbly appreciate it. About those rivets, I thought I did them like everybody else. I use my Olfa blade to cut them off the photo etch fret, and that's when I discovered that the pieces from MCG stick to the point of the blade by, im guessing, static electricity. it doesn't work with Detail Masters though. so, whenever I use MCG photo etch parts, I use my knife to cut it from the fret, put a dot of glue where its gonna go, LIGHTLY touch the piece with the point of the blade, and glue it in place! -it works 98% of the time for me!! For applying Detail Master, or any stubborn photo etch parts, I put a SUPER TINY dab of RC56 canopy glue to the tip of a toothpick, because when it dries, its got just enough tackiness to transport the piece to its spot. Most of the time I use the bright orange bottled Plasti Zap CA glue. To answer how I get the rivets so straight and evenly spaced, I honestly don't know. I have this crazy built in sense I guess. just for the record though, The photo I was using to see where the rivets went, actually showed them not completely straight all the time -this surprised me! -ARE'NT ALL OF US A LITTLE INSANE??!!
  9. she says, THNX!!, horsepower. she agrees with you 100% about how good that kit is! in fact, she wrote to Revell and asked them why it was so crappy!!!!!!! she asked for new rear shocks because the ones in the kit were too short, THEY SENT HER THE SAME ONES BACK!!!!!!! lol she said that this kit ALMOST made her not want to build again. I calmed her down, and introduced her to scratch building! thank you again for your kind words!
