Today was day one of the mower racing (just a show n shine) and my mower is in ready with only one or two small things to do (It started smoking and smelled like fire) but it was only one of the guide pulley not wanting to turn. I’m super excited!!!!! I just have to make sure that it can stay together this weekend.

These are giving me some ideas. Now all I have to do is find a 63 corvette and boat model.

I am going to turn an old amt ford lightning kit into a f450 4x4 with a 7.3L diesel. I’m not shure what it will have for a bed but I’m thinking it will be ether a bush fire truck, welding truck, tow truck or just a flat bed. These are just mock up pics as I haven’t started cutting or modifying anything yet. Comments welcome

I hope they also release the 94 Ford xlt f150 long bed.

I would like to find one of these.

Thanks everyone I will take and use as much of the advice as possible. I will let you guys know how it goes when I start working on it.

I think it needs to be Ford power and I am not a fan of big wheels.

Styrene?

Thanks for the help guys. Here is some more info. The car gets power to the interior (the heater is turned on) but the stater doesn’t even make a sound when I turn the key, when I try to start it I always use a battery booster (the booster I use can start a big tractor without a battery), it was last registered in 2001 and it is going to go in my truck. I also want to get it started before I pull it out of the car so I can be sure that I’m putting a running motor in my truck.

I have a 1978 Chrysler newyorker with a 440 that I want to get the engine running but there is a problem with the ignition where it will not send power to the starter. I am wondering is there a way to bypass the ignition (Hotwire) it from under the hood? (the interior is infested with mice and you would probably die if you stay in there to long) here is a picture of the engine. I have tried gooooooooooogleing it but I can’t find anything that helps.

Thanks guys I didn’t realize there was actually a sublime green spray paint.

I personally hate new cars they are to ugly and hi-tech. I only have one friend that agrees with me and is interested in old cars and trucks and people make fun of us for it. I am also the only person my age that I know of that knows how to drive a standard.

I would buy it for the 27 Ford and the other car would be spare parts.

What are some model car related abbreviations? Here are the ones that I know. MCM: Model Car Magazine WIP: Work In Progress

Is there any spray paint that is close to sublime green?

I just created a poll test and I can see it.

Can you see the poll?

To be honest I check MCM probably 7-10 times per day and I check Facebook probably 3-5 times a day. If I can keep building model I will stay here as long as I can.

Wow 0.66% I’m the only one under 20 that checks the General section or at least that’s what I hope. Are there really no other people under 20 here???????

Today I took my mower out for a test run with the new transaxle and a 1” smaller rear pulley and it was a noticeable faster. I have 5 days till race day and only a few more things to do. So I am very Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (My mom is not happy that it goes faster)

Today I got another mower that I’m going to rig up for lawn tractor pulling.

Today I was planning on testing my mower and when I went to fire it up it wouldn’t run. I ended up doing some troubleshooting and found that it wasn’t getting any fuel so I thought it was the carburetor since it was giving me problems last year but after some research and it turns out that after I rewired my ignition I cut the fuel shutoff switch so I will have to rewire it to a new switch.

Hi guys I have a question for everyone. I was thinking since everyone is building weakened warriors would anyone be interested in doing a purpose biult 4x4 community biuld like a puller, mud truck, baja truck or crawler? Just thought I would throw this idea out to see how many people are interested.

I use the but Revell might be going out of business excuse on my parents so that they understand why I’m buying so many models.

What everyone else said.
