  1. Lol, we have that kit at the HTU I work for, I couldn't believe how big it was!
  2. I tried one at I-Hobby in 2009 and loved it and would love to have one. I thought it was easier to work with that trigger than with the normal top button, not too sure why, but I do.
  3. Now that I think of it, that Tahoe kit should have the proper wheels and matching smallish looking tires too.
  4. You might have to try and find the 4dr Tahoe snap kit and cut it up into what you need, should evenhave the right grill in it already too!
  5. I'll try and figure out what I'm going to do with the two Matadors I bought today and get back to you on that Dave.
  6. Same here, I just picked one up today at a local show
  7. Ok Kerc, I bought two of these Matadors and an AMT Viper GTS today because of you
  8. That is odd, especially since the Ranger is a smaller truck, must be the older design of the Ranger cab. I do think that some of the safety stuff whale mentioned is to blame. The '11 Charger has less room than my sister's '06 and it has to be that reason
  9. Ah, I'd just shorten it up enough to still fit the wrecker assembly in the bed
  10. DO you want the bed to be "useable"?
  11. Well, two days ago the the Ken Block Fiesta wing came in for my regular Fiesta The todya I picked these up at the Dupage show today. Didn't spend a lot, but more than I intended (which was the entrance fee, fuel cost there and back, as well as a Slurpee run on the way home ) The Matadors were being sold for $15 a piece and I picked them up for $20, one viper and the Monza (which needs tires) was $5 and $6 dollars, but picked them up for $10, the second Viper was $6, and the Road Runner was $10.
  12. Looks like a for sale sign
  13. What got me at the Auto show last Friday is that you can take a car that is that much bigger, and you may not have any more room in it that the smaller car:blink: I swear that the new Durango didn't have as much interior room as any XJ Cherokee's I've been in
  14. Just curious who all is going from this area. One of my co-workers, a couple customers from work, Dad, and myself are all going.
  15. The box art car looks like the one they had on display at I-Hobby in October. The pic really doesn't show it, bit I seem to remember it was nicely built.
  16. If they're part of the early release program the HTU I work for is, they should, we've got at least 3-4 of them on hand right now.
  17. I'd be half tempted to build this one out of the cop kit if I knew hte best way to fab up the correct intake for the AMT Prowler's engine
  18. Don't know yet, I'll have to wait till next week to buy one. Fixing the Jeep's flat is coming in first priority
  19. That pushbar doesn't help things, I'm almost wondering if it's because the car is just plain white and hiding or distorting some of the shape
  20. So........anybody know the difference between the 3.5l V-6 in AMT's Plymouth Prowler and the 3.5 V-6 used in the Charger/300/Magnum/Challenger?
  21. Judging by the size of the head, it might only be a 6-32 or 8-32 maybe a 1/4-20 and it's in the tread so the local Goodyear should be able to patch it or give me a good pro-rating on it since I bought this set from them little over a year ago. I'm going to ask them to save the bolt so I can see how big it actually is! When Dad was still with the E,J&E, he took a tire to Sam's Club to get replaced after popping it along the tracks. The overly optimistic tire guys at that store were just positive they could patch it even though Dad kept telling them, no, it's not possible. They kept insisting they could fix it, so Dad goes OK and brings his XJ around to the bay doors, opens the hatch, and they take one look at that tire and realize that the rail road spike buried in the tread was a pretty good indication that no, it in fact wasn't patchable in any way, shape, or form
