  1. I'm liking those tires
  2. I've been wanting to get one of these for a while now but didn't have much cash to spend on one until I got a little for Christmas and picked one as well as a spare battery up on the day after Christmas. I tried flying it in the kitchen at home with minimal success, so I took it to work and flew it in a much larger back room we have and have gotten pretty decent with it so far for having only put about 5 flights on it!
  3. That's great Lee, best of luck to you in it!
  4. IIRC it's a good kit that started out as a snap together about 12 years or so ago. The only "issue" I seem to remember is that the furthest forward portion of the hood doesn't quite get as close to the top of the front bumper as as it should, which you should be able to see on the pictures on the side of the box.
  5. Not sure what it is................
  6. Are these vans available new again?
  7. When....not soon enough if you ask me
  8. Wow, and I thought my kid sister's Charger could be tough to get into
  9. That could be a good one too Andrew!
  10. Depends on which snap kit you get, the current Revell 1/25 Snap-Tite/Wheel's of Fire/Hot Wheels kits' most of them are really well done for snap together kits, kinda like the AMT '09/'10 Vettes and Challengers, only with stickers and are molded in color. Besides the Impala ss/Caprice kits AgentG mentioned the first gen Viper kits and the 4th gen Camaro/Trans Am kits from Revell were also snappers when they first came out in the early-mid 90's, only those had some engine and suspension detail too. For a while AMT had been selling their dealer promo models un-assembled as snap togethers under the Snap Fast line of kits. The can build some nice looking models, even if you go simple Revell does have a severe and disappointing lack of Mopars in snap form though
  11. I'll take the Monkey Ward version, too much Billit on that last one, the brown leather looks awful, and the 33/34 like grill area to me is hideously wrong on anything (including the golf carts it reminds me of). Now had they gone back to the Deuce style grill, left the roof cantilevered, and stayed with the Torque Thrusts on taller and narrower tires, while pulling lowest portion of the front of the rear fenders in closer to the tub, that would have been an improvement.
  12. Who ever thought that should have been done to the car needs to be
  13. I'm digging that Trae, kinda makes me wonder what it would look like with some kind of flared fenders too now
  14. The HTU I work at got three in last night or this morning, as well as the Offy Motored Midget and the Squarebird reissue!
  15. If the way Dino builds this car's engine is anything like he's been building the chassis, it won't be very stock inside or out
  16. I originally went with what I use for my e-mail account, which was bjoehandley, B stood for my first name, William (just to make things easier ), My middle name is Joseph, so Joe will be a given, and my last is Handley. I used that for a number of forums, then pared it down to BJoe and have used that on most of the places I go. When one of those happen to be taken, I've used GreenJeep, greenjeep, or GreenJeep1998 since I currently own a Moss Green Pearl 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited. There was one slot car forum I had been on for a little while where I went by the license plate number I've had since 1995 CYD 806.
  17. I'm going for Real here, here's stuff visible through the grill. The background could be, probably concrete that had been shaped before drying, just like the outer surface of "The Tree of Life" at Disney's Animal Kingdom, that started out as a retired oil rig
  18. Considering I have stuff than ranges from 1/8 down to "HO" in plastic models, slot cars, and R/C..................I'm going to have to say no on that
  19. I was talking to somebody form my gym who builds race cars the other day and he's working on an '83 hatchback drag car right now. Sounds like it's a heavily reinforced back half car and is even going to keep the same gen motor that will probably be turbocharged, injected, burning E-85 once he get's to that.
  20. How do departments train their officers, I've heard some are...not so good at driving around here.
  21. I was screwing around on YouTube tonight and found this If anybody is interested, the album that some came form is a great one!
  22. Nice looking build Lizzard! BTW, what was Ol' Carl smoking when he penned that thing?
  23. Sadly people were more interested in those utterly pointless Crossovers instead of cars like the Magnum, Real SUV's that can go off road, or Minivans.................
  24. Not only that, but make a serious Musclecar out of it too I like you're thinking Charlie, make mine identical and Ace of Spades Black
