  1. It’s mostly box stock, I barely lowered it, I usually seem to go stock or lowered just above a slam, this was rare for me to go with a mild drop. Seemed to work. Thanks!
  2. Wow, that turned out great, and it sounds like you had to fight it all the way, that's some great execution.
  3. Thanks. There isn’t a lot to tell, I didn’t swap any parts, I kinda wish I had went with a different set of rims, but they were already a fixed to it when I picked it back up, so in the interest of completing it I left them. I did drop it a smidge, probably a about 2 scale inches, and I tucked the bumpers in a little bit. I always like to wire at least some of an engine, and I really liked the way the engine turned out, which is probably why I decided to finish this one off. If I remember correctly I made the wire looms out of an empty soda/beer can. I wanted to keep the body clutter free, even though I like all the chrome extras. I went with just the one side view mirror, and even that was too bulky so I cut the length of the mirror in half and attached it that way.
  4. I have so many abandoned projects that my wife believes I have commitment issues, I was talking to my girlfriend about it and she agrees.... Sooooo, I’m trying to commit myself to pull some of those out of their boxes and finish what I start. Here is one that was tossed aside many years ago after some frustration with the original paint (a common theme for me), I stripped it down and started over. I intended t to be a gloss black, but ended up with a satin, I have some theories as to what happened, but I think it’s obvious that the model itself is cursed. I liked the satin, so I left it alone. Pretty much out of the box, a couple tweaks here and there, just wanted to keep it clean and make it look a really nice parts getter that you’re not allowed to put parts in. I hope you enjoy.
  5. Yeah I have to agree, that finish is sweet. I'm sure your own vision though.
  6. Well it"s a great start that's for sure. I've finally come around on the LS motors in the real world, and am going to start using them for swaps in models also. Yours looks right at home in there, keep us updated!
  7. I like it, a lot. Where did you source the LS?
  8. Mrs. Claus began to get suspicious when he started needing two nights to deliver presents! Excellent build, lots of creativity and flawless execution.
  9. What a fantastic year you had, I dont think I've built that many in 10 years and they sure don't look that good either!
  10. So glad to see you back to work on this!! Now I can stop working on my stuff and just watch this build instead.
  11. This is great. Really, really, really, clean.
  12. Those air filters look great, the skull is such a cool touch. KEEP IT UP!!
  13. I love it! Super clean.
  14. Oh thank God you're back!! Look man, we've been really patient with your little "break", but it's time to get this going again. No pressure of course, but LET'S GO!!
  15. As depressing as all of these stories are, they are really making me feel a lot better about all of the boneheads moves I've pulled over the years.
  16. Very cool. The thin red stripe on those rims really sells it, the roof is amazing no doubt, but that stripe just brings it al together. Excellent.
  17. This Vega is slamatotious!! I love it! Your chrome and paint look soooo good. Nice work.
  18. I like it!
  19. That black is awesome! Nice work.
  20. Exactly!!
  21. The black trim is perfect, you just keep crushing it on this thing man. I love the way you get things done, you don't let anything hang you up. Now lets get this thing finished so I can get on with my life!!
  22. The gov has done a masterful job on getting some people to believe they've been given something in the form of a refund. If you gave your bank $1,000 and they returned the same amount a year later you'd be throwing bricks through their windows. I guess when it's the government, we're just shocked they didn't steal all of it.
  23. This is bananas. Impressive doesn't even begin to describe your skills.
