Joe Handley

He's the second actor in 2 days to pass away too.

Yeah, that was a wild wreck! Kinda happy to see them come out swinging like that at their first race too.

Lol, suddenly Harry, I want so see somebody kitbash the Monkey Mobile and Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang Oh, and I was wondering if that was based off the Terminator 5.4l Cobra V-8.

It's Ugly

Leaving the car outside for several hours helped, my have to play around with some of these tips on Friday.

This has been an interesting read, a couple weeks back I traded a friend a set of tires I'm no longer using on an r/c truck for a used r/c car and the thing reeks of cigarette smoke and dog (literally, there dog hairs on it, and I'm allergic to dander) and I'm hoping that this helps. Right now it's crazy windy out right now, so I stuck it on the picnic table, and if it rains, oh well, the electronics are waterproof and will eventually get replaced with better stuff anyway..

I recently traded for an on-road R/C car chassis and have decided to use the '69 Corvette Stingray body that the same manufacturer offers for said platform with another brands Minilight style wheels and Hoosier style tires for a late 60's-Mid 70's road racer look and want to add sidepipes to it and would rather make them out of Aluminum vs Plastic them either foiling them, painting them Chrome or Silver, or trying to rap them in Chrome Monokote. I'm thinking I'll use an appropriate diameter thin wall tubing for the actual pipe and then maybe a tapable thick wall tubing for the muffler portion and use 3-4mm screws to mount the pipes to the body by drilling and tapping 3-4 locations along the muffler section of the fabbed pipes and bolting them straight to the shell. Anybody have a good suggestion on how to bend the pipe without kinking it as well as bonding the muffler section to the inner tube of the pipe assembly?!

Wow, happy to hear she's doing that well all ready! Mom has a friend who's adoptive mother had been a nurse and had a severe stroke almost 30 years ago that put her into a nursing home and it drove here nuts to be on the receiving end of being cared for, so what your wife is feeling isn't unusual as far as that goes.

Afraid I will be working tomorrow.

Got the 4 wheel steering working on one of my R/C Trucks, had to put an external power supply on the receiver because the Servos were drawing more power than the speed control could supply and causing glitching issues with the radio.

You're lucky Tom, I knew R/C guys who's wives didn't like their hobby, but had a similar collection of purses.

That's good to hear Joe, hope all goes well for her recovery and her time in that rehab center.

Speedway does stuff like that if you have one of their cards and use it, I'm currently eligible to get upwards of $.50 a gallon off on my next fuel purchase (it's good on all grades of Gas, as well as Diesel and E85). I'm thinking I might save the points to see how far I can get, maybe get a gas gift card out of it.

I just forwarded that to a bunch of my friends and co-workers, I'm pretty sure that all of our stashes combined pale in comparison to that pile!

Wonderful to hear, hope things keep getting better for him!

Lol, nice trucks! I just got some Wheely King parts for free from a customer, including a $40 set of RC4wd steel trans gears! Kind of a thank you for the times I've helped him and a friend of his.

Well, at least it was age that got her, not tragity!

Post'em if you got'em

This one is for my Kid Sister, she bought a Challenger R/T Classic in Plum Crazy at the end of May 2014, speced out what she wanted , which was the performance stuff, but since the color was out of production by then, they found that had some of the more pointless stuff (sun roof, Mopar Package, bigger stereo). Well, as she was clearing it off on her lunch break, anotherChallenger owner, a guy, started more or less questioning ability to handle the car. Kinda pissed her off.

I was kinda surprised that about a year or so ago, footage related the Eastland Tragity in Chicago was discovered.

Best of luck there Vince, hope the little guy turns out ok!

We almost lost her by May, luckily, things worked out for the better and she is healing up from some of her issues, some won't go away, but she's doing well enough that we're planning a road trip to where she grew up for what will likely be the final reunion for high school as well as to visit her family there. I hope things turn out even better for your wife Joe.

That looks like it was a blast! Some years back I had a dad tell me he was looking to build himself a car after his kid's troop put together a "Dad" Class...........which was realisticly, more of an Outlaw Class, as the only thing not allowed was supplimenting Gravity with motorization or thrust.

That's good to hear Joe! Be prepared to run the wheels off that Stang and have a few languishing projects too! Mom spent about 1/2 of last year in a couple hospitals and nursing homes, Dad was up bright and early to go to her side every day if he hadn't stayed night, no matter how far then my sister and I drove there every day we could. From the time I put new tires on my 200 in April to this January, I had put 10k miles on that car!
