Thanks Skip, I noticed that shortly after I posted in here for the last time at around 4am.

Thanks again John!

Thanks! How much of a drop did you get? I'm looking for only 1"-2" total on it. BTW, Are the rear ends on the real cars actually aluminum like instructions say?

I'm trying to figure out the beast way to drop a Revell '05-'09 Mustang kit and can't seem to find that forum to post the question.

Ah, cool! Looks about dead on for the stripe on the '88 Shadow ES Turbo I also used to own!

Wow, I take it you masked and painted that stripe?

Looks even better!

I got 5 $20 bills for an RC car I no longer use! Now I just got to stop at the bank tomorrow to deposit it into my new 1:1 car fund........................

Did you use Semigloss Black or Semigloss Clear over the existing Black?

This just looks cool!

That is an incredible looking build Geoff!

That paint is fantastic so far, probably far better than they ever left the factory with!

Funny you mention that sign Chuck, picked one of those up when I was in Branson last.

Generally if a store employee gets "snooty" with a customer, it's usually being returned to said customer who has been dishing it out ad nausium from the time they walked in the door. People forget respect is two way street and if you treat somebody like trash, don't be surprised if there aren't rose petals from them everytime you walk in the door. BTW, Yoda (Noel) turned me on to this comic strip, had plenty of been there, done that's between my sister, mom, and myself between all of us working retail and my sister's library job too. http://www.retailcomic.com/?p=3551

What kind of off roading were you looking to do? There's all sorts of stuff from monster trucks, short course,1/10 "stadium", 1/8-1/14 buggy, truggy (which are basicly a larger scale version of the stadium truck), rock crawlers and their off shoots, scalers (since you're into models, you might enjoy that), rock racers, Formula-Off Road (also known as FOFF ) racers.

Got this to use on the Revell Chevy Van.

Yup, the picture that Harry posted is actually on Exile's website as well! I remembered it from that particular buildoff because he ran back tires on both ends of the bike for something different from one fat and one skinny.

Looks good so far Darren!

Thanks guys! That will be the tricky part, with any luck, I'll be able to do more on it tomorrow.

I was at the gym tonight and saw a music video from some DJ that used a targa topped late model Mustang that was 100% computer generated. I thought I had been seeing things since I didn't have my glasses on so after I finished my second to last set, I got up and went to watch and sure enough it was a Palmer-esk digital rendition of a '05-'12 Mustang. Well, I got to thinking that there was a '08 Bullit Mustang kit in the back of my Jeep and that targa chop should be easy to do. Well since getting home that kit has been brought in and has been attacked my a couple of my X-Acto saws! Here's the car almost straight from the box; And now the post X-Acto attack carnage! One of the next mods planned will be to replace the back window, back seat, and package tray with styrene to give that portion of the car a Delorean-esk or early C-3 coupe look. Probably will do a full on fairweather only no top or back window show/concept car style in those respects.

I've got a few of these (ok......6 of these) from the RC2 reissue want to do one in Black with Bourdeux Red (i.e. blood red) interior like my Lebaron GTS was. Been putting serious thought into getting a V-6 Chrysler 200 Touring because of how bad gas prices have been of late and wish they offered them as hatchbacks like the H- and P-Bodies were back in the day.

Yup, I still miss the ones I used to own.

Ditto

I've got a bigger problem with Coca~Cola than beer personally, I've decided (with insistance from my folks), to try and lay off all forms of the stuff. Looks like I'll have to get my morning fix from tea since I don't drink coffee now.............
