Hey Gregg, how generous is the sizing on one of the 3x shirts? I'm a portly fellow and can do 3x depending on the cut..I'd love one of these shirts

Looking great Marc, I've heard alot of people having issue with ts-13 and SMS cf decals...whats your trick?

I just picked this issue up today and saw the article, I plan to read thru it in a few minutes, although i'm pretty sure i'll be giving Norm a call soon to order up both of these kits... Thanks Tim Gray

Hmm, I wasn't a speed demon much, worst ticket was 80 in a 55, I took my old 240 up to about 125 and was worried about the carbon fiber hood popping up since it was fluttering at that speed. My claim to fame was a nice careless and wreckless ticket from doing donuts...just so happens I have a video of that incident right here..lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPwxNDi8_eA I never went above 80 on my motorcycle, I was too scared..I mean literally 2 full days of riding under my belt and I hit the highway, scared to death about messing up...so yeah I never tested the high speed capabilities of my Buell Lightning when I had it. Gray

This came in the mail today..had to open it up while on lunch..this is a neat looking kit, I can't wait to get started on it after I finish a few others.. Gray

ahh, many a great deal can be found on Yahoo japan, I can't tell you how much stuff I've gotten from over there. Its not as bad as you think for getting stuff though. I went thru a proxy service, though the one i used is no longer in business. There is one group though and I think their prices are reasonable. www.rinkya.com Hope this helps Gray

Wow, thats pretty cool...I see some rather famous faces there. I reeeelly need to go to GNRS one of these years

Excellent job Marc!, Glad to see you build and finish something, everything about this one looks good, I esp. like the wheels though. Gray

I'm gonna be the different one here and say model...

Wow Bob, also my favorite Camaro from Sema. You make building up the front bumper look so easy..lol. Can't wait to see more! Gray

won this off the 'bay last night, comes with all the Imsa styled body parts...yay, I had one of these when little

Hey guys, I saw a little snippet about the forum pruning posts that haven't had replies in 30 days or something like that. I went to my profile(and others) and did the "find topics" search and it only shows topics I started since last February. I wanted to go back and see what I've posted before that and I can't seem to find some of my threads...are they gone for good? Just wondering. I also did a regular search by user name and it seems some things are missing there too. Anybody know what the dealio is? Thanks Gray

i'll make a run to my local hobby shop this weekend to see if they have it..I just bought the issue with the olds rod sketchpad in it..

i'm trying to convince myself that I need to go pick up Roscoe's Police car that I saw at lunch time..lol I've got 3 Hobby Lobbys, 5 Michaels, 2 Hobbytowns, and 1 mom and pop hobby store to choose from and by far I like the mom and pop place and hobby lobby the best

I love it!, I can't wait to see some more on this...gave me a few ideas to use on my 5-window as well... and I really need one of those front axles from Bob...lol

Here are some better motor pics as promised.... I think the intake set-up i've got on here will be what sticks... though I'm going to recast the pieces with some pearl-ex powder on the mold to make them look like metal, and put on some chrome stacks instead of black, just to add some shine to the motor... Oh, and Randy that car you are thinking about is the Quadradeuce..and yeah it was very cool in its original purple incarnation..they changed it later into a billet, molded job to the likes of most modern AMBR winners... Anyway thanks for looking guys.

All great 32's..I like your most recent one Raul. Hopefully soon, i'll have a few to post here..lol

Hey guys...me again..lol Well I stalled again on the 32 Roadster, its going to get finished eventually. Anyway, to ring in the new year I decided to start yet another model. This one is the very excellent 5 window kit from Revell. Its going to be kept simple, no crazy body mods, no undertrays, no super detailing on the motor..no custom mixed paint. I've included some slightly not so great phone pics..but they are something to get started. The engine has been painted in spaz-stix orange/purple/teal color shift paint. I dechromed and crinkle finished the valve covers with some uncovered chrome foil on the ridges. I do have to change the induction set-up though, its my version of an itb-fuel injection system stolen from the amt 53 ford truck hemi. I think it looks pretty cool, but what do you guys think? I've also got the option of the really cool intake set-ups from Norm to choose from as well. Wheels are from the 39 wagon rod, suspension will be lowered, minor channel on the body but thats going to be about it for mods. Paint will probably be testors one-shot white lightning or graphite dust. I'll get some better motor pics this weekend, my daughter and her mom are coming to stay for a few weeks and she's bringing the good camera. Thanks for looking guys and comments and critiques are always welcome. Gray

Hey guys, Please pardon the cell phone pics, I didn't have any batteries in my camera. Its now sitting on its wheels, I got the suspension and wheel mounting figured out. They aren't glued on yet, and need some paint but you get the idea. In the pics it looks like its sitting a little front high but its not. I can still get a mm or 2 out of the front suspension. I'm going to try to finish this one up soon with a major brunt of the work happening next week while i'm on vacation. Anyway enough babbling...heres the pics. Comments and Critiques always welcome. Thanks for looking! Gray

Nothing yet, but over the weekend I ordered one of those Offy motors and some other misc parts from our buddy Norm (Prolly won't be here til after the new year ) I paid for a subscription to Street Rodder (finally) and discovered a new hobby shop where I picked up some paint and Tamiya polish. All that was also my Christmas present to myself after getting a bonus from work.

I really want the new Revell Corvette ZR1 after it becoming my favorite car in Forza 3, but its not out yet. If I get a bonus check from work, I'll place an order with Norm for some parts for a 32 ford build, maybe pick up one of the 30 Model A coupes, another 32 5-window, and possibly pick up some resin casting supplies.... Or I may just put it towards the Ducati Monster I really want come spring time.... I'm single so I have to be Santa to myself, though one big gift I am getting is my daughter and her mom are moving up here to Charlotte soon, no more being 4.5 hours away from my little girl. The reason mom is moving here is to bring her closer to me.

Oh I wish I had the time to be able to get to some of these meetings...if they were on the weekend I could surely make the trip. I saw this in the album and was wondering what wheels and tires are these? talking about the resin wheels with low-pro tires Thanks guys Gray

Nice!! Ruffle some feathers! I'll be on Forza 3 later tonight...I just got your friends request last night..

if you decide to cast these up and sell them, put me down for 3 i've got a few projects that would like them...

I hope so, those are the only 2 announcements I'm even partially excited about but the too small wheels will kill the vette I'm tired of having to buy a set of aftermarket wheels for all my kits..lol
