  1. An "Internet" class is for builders like all of us here on this board... model builders that hang out on the internet. It's a way to say to everyone else, "See? If you spent a little time on a hobby message board, you would have known about this!"
  2. Gregg aka "Da Boss" once posted this pic... Again, I have no other info on this
  3. Bob Dudek offers this. I have no other info.
  4. OK, I posted the same link that Erik did... why won't it show up? Is it part of these "skins"?
  5. LETS TRY AGAIN... SOMEONE POSTED SAME THING ON YouTube [post=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBjlSJf4274] hope this works
  6. Someone sent this to me via e-mail. The video clip was on that web site message board. I don't know what to make of it... I have never seen a deal like this when a copy & paste of a url fails.
  7. ######! Why won't this work? Ummm... "WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES" I'll try to fix it. Sorry guys. The link won't work. It is from a vid site called LiveLink. I have posted links before, why won't the url work here? Bummer. PLEASE DELETE ENTIRE THREAD
  8. 1926 Snow Tractor You're not gonna believe this... Talk about ingenuity! This is a really neat 1926 silent film (on video) of a tractor-snow-machine invented by Henry Ford, who is shown driving it. Watch the whole thing (check out the Chevy near the end). http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,213971.0/topicseen.html EDIT: WARNING- LINK WON'T WORK. I APOLOGIZE; I JUST CANNOT GET THIS VID TO PLAY Here's 1926 technology that should be brought back - just in time for the next Ice Age!
  9. It's something about that photo, I voted "real". I have a good track record going here, let's see if I can keep it going.
  10. WoW! That is loaded with imagination! I'm thinkin' "magazine feature"!
  11. Sa-WEET! Where do I sign up for a full subscription?
  12. I am currently in a slump also. Finally I realized why I abandoned my last build. I just didn't want to deal with another full-body car. Oh, I love modern cars for sure, but all that chrome to BMF, elaborate dashboard detail, etc. Meh. Then I started to think about what I think about when I am not at my bench. It's a build that has been lurking in the back of my noggin' for a while now. The more I thought about it, I realized that was the one I HAD to build. Now I am in the planning stages. Once I think about what engine, wheels, tires, paint, etc, then I plan on posting some mock-up photos. I hope I can work this way out of my block.
  13. Sometimes I use whitewall stickers from Joe Wheat. These are die cut from 3M labels. Thing is, I'm not sure if Joe still offers these. If you had a cutting mat, and a circle cutter, you could make your own. Joe also has narrow whitewalls in two sizes (IIRC) and redwalls as well.
  14. Marcos, I just saved those photos to my aftermarket reference site. They look too good not to! Hope ya don't mind man!
  15. I think a good way to learn mixing paint without wasting kit bodies is to spray engine blocks. Also want to sand out those seams down the middle (especially the oil pan) I have a bunch of those cups, free. They used to package Crystal Light drink mix in those (no longer tho), but some 'store brands' still do. And, the drink is sugar free!
  16. OMG. That's all I can say!
  17. SWEET! Is that the one with the "glass" molded to the body? Looks good.
  18. Great 'bird, Mike!
  19. Way nice!!!
  20. Welcome to our zoo! Don't forget to read the board rules... be sure to add your name to the sig line so we know who to say "welcome" to
  21. Yep. AMT officially Jumps The Shark.
  22. A "donk" deuce? AMT already covered it.
  23. Al, Thanks for asking. The 'Vair in my avatar is just a photo I found that I like. I have owned a few 'Vairs over the years, but they are long gone. I used to be a member of CORSA, I still have the newsletters around here somewhere. I would consider buying another Corvair if it had the Crown V8 conversion
  24. Guys, it's just one category! Not only that, but it's not always widely known. I was thinking of withholding the original post, to see if anyone would even mention it here. But why should anyone over at the Spotlight board think they own the show? As an "Internet" promotion, I see plenty of built deuces here... I doubt it will end as a fail. Nobody is being forced to enter that category. Every year it is different than the previous year. Just my 2 cents...
