  1. looks good, too bad there aren't any turbo'd Sube -6's in plastic or Resin to stick in that too.
  2. Could be Harry, I've kept an eye out for a credit card with your name on it once I found out you lived here in the 'burbs on "that other forum". I'm normally the big hairy guy with glasses back at the rc counter, but there's another guy that comes close to that description and with any luck I'll be able to get a much needed hair cut on saturday morning so that may no longer be a usable description for me anyway
  3. HA! Those were the first thing to cross my mind when I saw them, but it'll be pretty hard to out ugly that middle one though You do have a good point about putting all four of them into production and on the track too.
  4. Lookin' even better so far! Huh, I didn't catch that the other night, must not be competeing with it then?
  5. Hey Spyder, I've got two questions on your pictures there. #1. Does your ZJ have yellow pinstripes that matche the ones on the CRV? #2. How'd you get overspray on the side of the dash?
  6. They may be able to call it "open wheel" since the tops of the tires are exposed, but I'm curious how it's going to run with the front tires set so far in compared to the rears.
  7. Yea, I've work there since 2001 I'm the fat guy who usually has a full beard, glasses, and occaionally longish hair.
  8. Hehe, I'd be suprised if you cruising some neighborhood the western burbs that late on a week night One of the guys at the gym I go to was kinda pissed tonight, he actually slept through it even though he doesn't live to far from Harry. He kinda feels left out because of it:blink:
  9. It was a pretty good shock, I think my heart rate was running somehwere near plaid for about 10 minutes afterwards. I could seriously spend an hour on an elliptical machine at the gym and not have it beating that hard, and I'm well beyond just fat OK, maybe not that far, I live in West Chicago and work in St. Charles.
  10. Well heck Harry, I'm about 10 miles or so south of you
  11. Come to think of it, there was a small one that hit almost 6 years ago (I think it will be 6 years in April) that woke me up, but it wasn't quite like this one. It rattled the windows a bit and that was it. When it hit I thought it was just some jerk with a monster car stereo that decided to go cruising with his dang thing cranked to 11 at 2am
  12. We're all good here Jim, everybody seems just a bit suprised from what I saw on the local news stations this morning, didn't help much that it happend so early this morning One of our customers who spent some time in California after he finished up his hitch in the service (Korea IIRC) drug his wife out of bed and made go out to the car with him just in case since they live on the third floor of their apartment building. It rolled through West Chicago about 4:22am and I first thought it was a strong gust of wind or somebody ran into my folks house, Mom thought Dad rolled out of bed in his sleep, little sister was still asleep when I left for work this morning so I don't know if she felt anything yet. Come to think of it, I'll bet this really should up your friends in Maple Park Jim, that's close to where the epicenter was supposed to be
  13. Just wonder who here in the Midwest felt the quake this morning and how your model collections faired?
  14. Definately use a good primer, the Lexan lacquer paints tend to be fairly aggressive so they can etch into the plastic and hold when the body gets hammered while the vehicle is driving, which can be bad for "our" plastics. I've never used that line of paints on lexan though, so I don't know how they shoot off hand.
  15. Don't forget about the front sheetmetal breaking off the first model year ones if the truck was wheeled much Hehe, sounds like my dark green Cherokee there harry
  16. No, I like the vehicles I've owned to much to do something that stupid with them....................................
  17. Looks good, same with that Axial sitting on your floor too
  18. Let me guess, it didn't help that insomnia much either
  19. WOW, that's one heck of a diecast!
  20. Hope things keep getting better for you then Jon! I'm not sure what was worse when I sprained my foot, stairs (both directions), some of our chairs, or getting onto or off of the toilets at home
  21. How's things going Jon?
  22. Looks good, and I like the way the Chevy truck grill fits too!
  23. Looks good, but I have a really stupid question, what's the coil springs on either side of the transmission for?
  24. Having owned a couple of the Daytona's siblings, I have to say Ditto!
