Boy, full hub caps and connie kit sure look odd on that car, nice color combo though.

Those are included with the AMT '57 Ford kit so you can build the 312CuIn/312hp version (yea, it was a 1 horsepower per cubic inch engine just like the Fuelie Chevy!) of the Y-Block.

Looks good, so what's the corner weights?

Since this would be a "what if" model, lets say that Plymouth got their hands on a handfull of Chrysler, Dodge, or DeSoto Hemi's for this short production run of factory racers and produced just enought to make them legal;)

I just re-bodied my Wheely King crawler (which is going more the way of a trail rig of late.... ) with a HPI Jeep Wrangler Rubicon body that is approximately 1/8th scale and was looking at that and my new Losi Micro Desert Truck (1/36th scale) and realized it seemed like the Losi would look like a 1/5th scale stadium truck in comparison. Now I'm thinking about making a mount so I can strap the MDT to the back of the crawler to make it look like it's hauling a 1/5 scale RC on the trail. Here's the WK on it's own (sorry, cell phone pics to follow) and the MDT and a couple pics of the two together with the MDT on the back of the "cage" I figure that I can use about 8 zip ties and battery hold down straps for the new E-Flite Blade 400 (below) to make the hold down for the MDT What do you guys think?

I love it, makes me want to find a 2wd Cherokee and make a gasser out of it evem more now

Cool idea now is there a Hemi powered "Black Widow" Plymouth in the works to join the fleet

Somebody having a special run made?

If it's anything like the stuff Mopar sells, you WILL want to test it out on scrap plastic. The Mopar Parts Moss Green Pearl spray touch up for my Jeep has some pretty nasty stuff in it and will hold onto the lexan used for RC bodies as well if not better than Pactra R/C and Model Master Lacquers do. I'm getting ready to shoot a HPI Wrangler Rubicon for my crawler and will even use a resperator this time around (didn't bother to read the can until after shooting the body the last time I used the stuff ) I'd bet the White Lightening wouls look really nice on that truck BTW, and you could always put the Model Master Pearl Lacquer over the top of that if you so desire.

Looks incredible and clever idea with the rims. So I'm not the only one who thinks that...........................................................

I thought the same when I saw it, I just hope it's carberated or multipoint EFI and has a Dana 60 or 8 3/4" out back in stead of TBI Injection and a Ferd 9" out back.

I've come close to buying one of those kits a few times aleady too!

Well said Frank and Aaron!

Just looks like it would be a nice fit in the Presley Car Museum

This year my sister's boyfriend bought his nephews a couple costumes for Christmas this year, one was given a pirate costume and the other a ninja costume both from Toy's "R" Us. I guess he mad some comment on Christmas Eve about how the oldest one, Justin, who got the Ninja costume can "Kick arse when arse needs to be kicked" and Justin heard him say it. My sister, her BF and his Mom were sitting on the couch at Mom's home while his older brother was helping the oldest put on the ninja costume and next thing they know the BF's older brother says, "JUSTIN!, you don't say things like that!" Evidently he told his Dad that "Now I can kick arse when arse needs to be kicked." My sister, her BF and his Mom are all sitting there on the couch laughing while the BF's brother had to scold the boy and bite his tongue to keep from laughing the whole time.

Now it just needs plates regestered in Memphis, TN...................... Good job!

Looks great!

Yipes, what happened to the roof on that one?

Looks great and I love the plate too!

Whoa, wicked looking!

Pretty good, but I do have a few recommendations as what to install first; Bearings, Peak Charger for Ni-MH pack (Motors have very short lives with the Li-Po), Threaded axles (I hate the e-clips they use to hold the wheels on with a passion, they're same as used on my Min-T for the hingepin retainers), and last but not least.....RPM Bumper for Micro-T (fits perfect with MDT body!) I'd love to do this someday too Here's a pic of it with the RMX PT Cruiser Convertable I built last winter

Nothing kit wise, but I did get this little guy And it stayed stock until about 3:20pm or so today

Thanks, I did pick up a can of MM white lacquer primer and a can of Nassau Blue today.

Looks good, I really like how the body mods turned out on it, here's what I would do for the rims too http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXDH19&P=7

I just bought a new issue Stingray III kit and would like to paint it in the MM Nassau Blue Lacquer. Has anybody had an adverse reaction with the purple pigments in the plastic bleeding through Model Master or PLasikote primers? Also which would be better to use, white or gray primer? Thanks!
