That is an incredible pic! Awsome video here! Don't see too many people driving two footed either! From what I've been told, if you do that while taking a driver's license test in Illinois, you automaticly fail the test!

I'd pay to see Jr Johnson and some of his fellow ex-moonshiners take a car set up for...ahem....deliveries....on some of the race courses just to see how their old iron compares to modern racecars

I saw this in a Carrera catalog at work yesterday and kept thinking of Fordsixty's road racers, and how this car kept making me think a '67-'69 made to look like this would be just plain wicked! Carrera's 1/32 Opel Commodore http://us.carrera-toys.com/index.php?eID=t...c3f4b18600952ec Carrera's 1/32 '69 Z-28 http://us.carrera-toys.com/index.php?eID=t...5747a285d8bace4

Thanks for the tips JB, I picked up a second Petty Superbird to try them out on! It is too bad there doesn't seem like there's more interest in this forum, this is one of the few places I know of that has anything like this (he greg, I've got an idea for the mag now too!) I ended up pulling all of the magnets in the set's Petty cars and found them more entertaining to drive like "dirt track" cars than with the magnets I even picked up the new Camaro Concept Car from Carrera and set it up as a "drift" car, way too fun . I still have yet to get the magnet out of the Viper Comp Coupe though......................

Always thought that was kinda funny too Phil Same here on the lancer, but make mine a Shelby

I love the scoop, is it manual or to you have a small battery and motor to move it.

Dang, that puppy is low!

I assume you're talking about the warship Corvettes? http://home.vicnet.net.au/~mildura/Corvette_links.htm

Good Question, I know a guy who'd be all over that in reg cab/sportside trim!

Stoga, haven't seen you here in a while! The last few runs of the Chevy/GMC G-Series vans (A-Team) have had a few problems too that could stand some fixing and I would love to see the Dodge/Plymouth F/S as well as the Chrysler Mini's done in scale again. I did pick up that Imperial last weekend though, nice kit!

I've got the Carrera Richard Petty set and I seem to have problems with the cars it came with (a '70 Superbird and '69 Torino Talladega) and the Scalextric Viper Comp Coupe wanting to roll over if they get too far sideways. Any suggestions (besides not to get too far siedways)?

This has been a very informative and in some ways educational thread and has been handled in a mature way by all involved, especially the moderators! I can't think of too many forums I've been on where there wouldn't have been name calling, accusations, and the like for "lesser" topics (usually Democrate basing ), let alone something this "loaded". You guys need to be given a huge thumbs up for this thread!

I'm with every body else here on more modern everyday cars and I love the idea of the Interceptor concept car from "The Wraith" too! I'd love to see modern domestic van kits (well any van kits really, just would prefer newer or just repaired older tooling). I don;t know why there have never been kits made of the regular Jeep Cherokee's, but I'd have no problems letting Revell or Hawk take measurements off mine for a kit if they were so interested.

Let's see, most of them are in a storage area I share with my Sister, got some stashed in various parts of my bedroom (I'm single so no problems there), and occasionally I'll have 1 or more in the Jeep, then there's also my RC and slot car stuff on top of that.....................................

Actually, I'd love to see an old Moonshiner like Junior Johnson run against guys like these

8 lug wheels are probably a good idea on that truck Looks good so far!

Those look great Tonio, nice job! If other places are like the HTU I work at, we can't keep them in stock and seem to only be able to get the Orange, Reds, White and sometimes the clear!

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?
