  1. An indie setup should ride much better they way some of our roads are around here, but solid axles aren't that bad so long as you have good shocks between them and the unibody. That said, I'll keep my Jeep with 2 solid axles, the rear one being located by 2 parralell leaf spring packs.
  2. That does look much better and if the other teams follow suit, the whole field should be easier to tell a part.
  3. Yup, and there's plenty of wheel, brake, suspension options that would work as good on the quarter mile as they do on the dirt (just look at what the Petty Cash boys have done with their road race XJ!)
  4. Did another one that would be within the relm of buildable in Styrene or 1/1, just not sure of what the best way to rake the windshield is........
  5. You think that's bad, look at the doll in the back of the motor home!
  6. Thanks Kaleb, guess I can't postvideo via cell phone yet.......
  7. Did the video not work?
  8. Saw the ads for this recently at 7-11. http://www.slimjim.com/manbulance.jsp
  9. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&errmsg=Cannot%20read%20property%20'removeChild'%20of%20null&gl=US&rdm=4om7bex55&reload=5#/watch?v=3XgOHnuLOFo
  10. Oddly enough.......I'd try to find a clean 2wd Cherokee to build up along those same lines as that Falcon too if I were to win the Lotto
  11. Looks familiar, just haven't had the chance to look for it yet............
  12. Honesty, I'd still be running around in my Jeep in that situation.........it might be quite a bit quicker than now and restified some, but it wouldn't be going away.
  13. Hmmmmmmm, that thing is going to scream Future Shock 2.0 when you're done!
  14. Wish I could.......but that would require two 4 eye Daytona turbo kits and maybe a 4 eye Mustang kit or two........and loys of fabbing that is beyond my skill level.
  15. That's how it is with my Dad's first two cars too I'd love for him to have them back (even more that the six pack Charger he and mom had), but those two Plymouths were in even worse shape than my Lebaron was in at they time they were all scrapped.
  16. I've come close, only time I have was once whem my sister mad me mad in HS and I destroyed a messed up AMT ZR1 with a maglight. That is the nice part about my R/C stuff or lifting weights, I can go out and thrash one of my R/C's or just go and lift to get rid of that aggrevation via trying to move weights around!
  17. Looks like it could be either Cornet, Charger 500, or Torino Taladega...maybe Johnny Lighting or old AFX perhaps?
  18. Wish that could happen with my Lebaron, but since I know it ws scrapped, that ain't happening.
  19. I'd expect the frames to be identical, IIRC the only difference in the 1/1's had been that aweful looking square nose on the commando. Sould even be able to put a true CJ or YJ nose on the 1/1 trucks too!
  20. Great looking builds there
  21. Not sure on the GM product off to the side, but that fendered one looking out of the door sure looks like the Lil' Coffin.
  22. Oh....I thought Mercedes as the one building the coupes.
