Everything posted by my name is nobody

  1. my excitement driving Dad's vehicle came at age 12. My pop was out of town, and I found the keys to his pickup truck. so I 'borrowed' it and drove into town. I grew up in rural Colorado, and thought it would be fun to take a cruise. Wrong. I got pulled over by a police officer who knew me. His son and I were classmates in the sixth grade. after a long lecture, he told me to take the truck home, and never let him catch me driving around in it again. dont think he ever told my Dad, but it wasnt too long after that, Pop started letting me drive on longer family trips, mostly on the interstate. I eventually told my Dad that story, along with a few others I didnt think he knew about. He just smiled, but didnt say a word.
  2. terrific build. one of my alltime favorite cars. the FASTEST I have ever been in a car, was in a '72 Pantera. Your grabber orange beauty sure look's fine.
  3. I started this one with A/FX stuff. apparently they are not an ideal business model.
  4. these are both very nice builds. But that '68 Roadrunner is sweet.
  5. terrific job on this Corvette. my favorite year of all the Corvette's. when I built this kit I really enjoyed it. Your version is outstanding.
  6. Killer Goat! great build. looks period correct. the exhaust cut-outs are cool.
  7. Awesome. That is a really terrific replica. well built. and all the right stuff. makes me want to get my 1:1 belly tank out of my barn and build up a salt flats racer.
  8. congratulations. and good luck with your german shepherd. we have two. and they are terrific and very intelligent dogs. with proper training, you cant hardly ask for a better pet.
  9. I have used the steel wheels from the Revell '64 Ford Fairlane "Thunderbolt" kits on a couple of 1969 1/2 Dodge Super Bee A-12 replicas. Not only do they look correct, they also fit the tires in the dodge kit very well.
  10. I guess it really doesnt matter how safe my driving is. we dont have too many other drivers to worry about around here. Think I'm kidding? here is a view of the road to town (100 miles one way) when I took my wife out to dinner last labor day weekend.
  11. pretty cool. there is an old wrecking yard just north of my place. the guy who owns it had the wrecking business in this region for about forty years. you should see some of the cars out in that yard. of course, the old cars here dont have near the rust of the ones in your photographs.
  12. very nicely done. a great kit finished to high level. the second photograph looks like a 1:1 engine. spectacular model.
  13. very nice. I did a build up of the 'chinese bandits' 427 Cobra. I always liked Newbomb Turk. and your replica of his brothers El Camino is cool. "Hollywood Knights" had some pretty nice cars in it. your build up of Tony Danza's ride ( PHR's Project X) looks great.
  14. I sure would like to see Revell do a 1968 Dodge Coronet 2 door coupe. any version would work. The 1968 Charger chassis would work just fine.
  15. You sure did a terrific job. All of these models look great!
  16. Bullitt has a terrific chase scene. probably the best on film. and I'm biased,too. As there is a "Bullitt" Mustang GT sitting out in my garage. However, there are several great chase scenes out there. To Live And Die in L.A. comes to mind. after the two detectives kidnap the guy from the train station and then get chased by the Fed's is pretty awesome. Ronin has another great chase. gone in 60 seconds the original H.B. 'Toby' Halicki movie is a real classic. as is the sequel, The Junkman.
  17. Here is an original crew cab, very rare:
  18. Beautiful. just a beautiful build. One of my very favorite bodystyles from FoMoCo. my preference is the '61. However your '60 is quite stunning. Something about the roofline just takes me back........................ This is an impressive build. I like it.
  19. terrific color scheme. and a very nice, clean build. A great looking B-Body Plymouth.
  20. A very nice, clean build. great color, smooth paint. looks like a mean street machine.
  21. beautiful build.
  22. Thank You. I like it too. say, who makes that boat tail Riviera? that looks like a nice diecast.
  23. my first car I ever owned was a 1970 Dodge Super Bee. this is the replica I built of it. wish I would have never sold it.........but I do know its current location.
  24. okay. would you then please keep your Politician's?
