How creative can we get in terms of using other parts? For example, many years ago, the VW/Porsche dealer I worked for moved. The Toyota dealership that moved in did some renovations to the building. The literally tore down the entire building except for one wall, about 30ft x 10ft. But because they retained some of the original structure, it was considered a renovation and not a new build. Major advantage in terms of zoning, taxes, permits, etc. Using the same thought process, if I picked a kit and then replaced everything except for say the driveshaft, would that count? Seriously though, I'd probably just stop building if I was limited to only one. For me, that would take the fun out of the hobby, and if I'm not having fun, then what's the point?

Just saw this one. Loved the truck, now it's even better with the trailer! If you wish, I can edit the thread title for you, but I think the trailer is good enough to deserve it's own thread. Excellent work!

Yeah, I have a couple of boxes full of parts for these trucks. I know they're in there, because the ziploc bag that I put the parts in is open and empty in one of the boxes!

There are currently no hoses of any kind. And the battery isn't connected in any way. Don't want to add much more than that, I like the clean look.

Finished this one up over the weekend. There's some underhood detail pieces that have gone missing, they're in a box somewhere, so I'll have to add those in the near future. That'll teach me to organize the bench in the middle of a build. Added the supercharged LSX from Clearly Scale, Recaro seats from Clearly Scale, the front grille and updated dash from a later C3500 kit. Instrument cluster is an image I found online, shrunk, and printed. The seats have seatbelt buckles added. Was going to do something different with the wheels, but I like the stock 454SS wheels too much, so I left them alone. Paint is Duplicolor's GM Pewter Metallic. Interior is Model Master's British Crimson. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.

I've only finished a couple so far, but I have a bunch destined to be movie cars. Dennis Guilder's Charger, and Buddy Repperton's Camaro. The star car is currently on the bench having paint issues. These are obviously from the movie, but I plan to build the cars as featured in the book too, as they were changed for the film.

Depends on the vehicle totally. I've bought vehicles sight unseen before. But those are project vehicles, and I'm fully expecting issues and repairs. For a daily? Not a chance would I risk it. But when looking at a vehicle, I don't need much time at all. A few months ago, when I bought my 99 Tahoe, it took me all of about 10 minutes to give it a once over, mentally itemize the potential issues, make an offer, and drive it home. And other than a leaky AC line, I've had no surprises.

I don't put much faith in these types of lists. "Top" album lists are all subjective. Anyway, I have three of their top ten albums, but not in my own top ten.. The Superdan Top Ten Albums of All Time In No Particular Order Except For Number 1 10. Portishead - Dummy 9. Metallica - Master of Puppets 8. The Police - Ghosts In The Machine 7. Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith and Devotion 6. Nirvana - Nevermind 5. Pink Floyd - The Wall 4. Pop Will Eat Itself - This Is The Day...This Is The Hour...This Is This 3. Our Lady Peace - Naveed 2. U2 - The Unforgettable Fire 1. Faith No More - The Real Thing

Wow! Excellent work on my all time fav truck. Your detailing on the front grille and lights has got to be the best I've seen so far on these kits. Very, very well done.

I've been on SPotify Premium for a couple of years now. Cheap, unlimited playlists, very searchable, no ads. And its rare that I search for something and get stumped. I still like buying CDs though. Heck, just bought a proper CD player for my truck. Of course, it has satellite and bluetooth as well, but still.

And George Lynch turns 66 soon!

Just so everyone is clear, I believe that the OP would agree that this is the definition of supergroup, as it pertains to this thread. Not arguing that there aren't a lot of "super" groups out there. But perhaps they're not in the spirit of this thread.

Here's another, probably not going to be popular around here. Metal Allegiance. Permanent members are Alex Skolnick from Testament, Dave Ellefson from MEgadeth, and Mike Portnoy from Dream Theatre. Guest members apeparing live and in studio includ members of Anthrax, Testament, Overkill, Periphery, Sepultura, Lacuna Coil, Slayer, and so many more.

Here's another. The Winery Dogs Billy Sheehan - David Lee Roth, Talas, Mr Big Mike Portnoy - Dream Theatre Ritchie Kotzen - Poison, solo

I enjoy these guys, although "supergroup" might be a stretch. George Lynch - Dokken, Lynch Mob Dug Pinnick - King's X Ray Luzier - Korn Three albums in, and they're a great solid hard rock band

I'm in the business, I run the leasing division for a vehicle leasing, sales, and rental company here in Canada. So I deal daily with used vehicles, trades, lease returns, new vehicles, etc. I would almost never buy a car online. If I can't physically go and check it out, I generally stay away. Now having said that, I have bought online, and a lot of my clients buy online, and never meet me in person. If you are buying online, demand the following: Detailed pics, and lots of them. CarFax or CarProof report. Make sure it's recent. Recent full mechanical inspections, AND invoices proving that work has been done and deficiencies have been rectified. Reputable places will offer a used warranty on their vehicles. Honestly, though, it's still a lot of buyer beware. I'm not sure how consumer protection works in the US, but in Canada it's all over the place. Here in Alberta, we have a regulatory board called AMVIC. A business CANNOT sell a vehicle of any kind without having an AMVIC licence, inspections, etc. All salespeople must be AMVIC certified and registered. And all the documentation has to be signed off by the dealer and the purchaser, acknowledging issues and condition. Massive fines and potential police involvement for non-compliance. If a dealer or individual won't provide an inspection, or balks at the idea, just walk away.

A bass amp is designed to emphasize the low end frequencies, so although it won't give it more fuzz, it will change the tone. I think I read somewhere that he used a Marshall guitar amp, but plugged it into bass cabinets, which would definitely give a little more low end thump. It also sounds like he plays everything on the neck pickup, again changing tone slightly. It does kind of sound like he uses a Big Muff or some other fuzz pedal, but I suspect his tone is more a combination of his guitar and amp settings, not any kind of effect. I listen to Kyuss quite a bit. If you're into podcasts, check this one out. Alan Cross is a hugely respected rock journalist here in Canada. He has his one show, The Ongoing History of New Music. He did a two-parter on Josh, QOTSA, and the history. It's good, as are all of his shows.

Nope, Tamiya yellow tape and a sharp X-Acto knife! I have the liquid mask stuff, and haven't been a bi fan of it. Mayb e I just need more practice with it.

Excellent work. The stance and the wheels are perfect for this.

It's funny. I'm not a big fan of QOTSA, but I'm a huge fan of Josh Homme's previous band; Kyuss.

Whoa! If I saw that in a local liquor store, I'd buy it just for the box. I'm not a big beer drinker, but would make an exception for this.

I'm hearing a little Evanescence in there. Maybe some Nightwish. On a somewhat related note, have a listen to some Arch Enemy. Try and picture the singer in your mind. Then go watch a video. Not what I was expecting for sure. Anyway, I listen to them a fair bit.

I like it. Basically the same thing I do when I make my own. Close enough for my tastes.

Probably the Fujimi kit?
