  1. That is a great thing you did there, Mike!
  2. I still am amazed that the upcoming convertible issue of the Hudson does not (apparently) have wire wheels! It looks like I will need to shell out another $30. for the Chrysler just to set my Hornet w/ wires. A little more thought to different wheels in follow-up reissues by Mobius would be nice. Hope they give it some consideration! Because these kits are a home run!
  3. That yellow "big wheels" Mustang made me cringe!
  4. My LHS needs an item # to pre order. Hope that info will be posted when available!
  5. Facebook can be tripe or treasure, just like real life. It's all what you make of it. I know of many who don't care for it, and quite honestly, I think they decided they wouldn't like it before they even tried it. Just like, for example, some people don't like any modern car design. Therefore, they already dislike the cars... that have yet to be created. I know a lady who tried to use FB, but she "Doesn't get it". I don't get that.... what's to get? Most women seem to like to post the "inspirational" message stuff. Doesn't do much for me. Guys just like to joke around, and sling some sarcasm. Works for me! The one thing that bugs me about FB is the ones who think it's a contest to see how many posts they can make per day. I know of someone who must be posting 50 or more times a day, if not more. That goes beyond socializing... right into obsession!
  6. If ya want to trailer queen any of them to the show, we got your Mustang Mack right here...
  7. This first one's not bad... Then we go into Frankenstein territory!
  8. We have longroofs.... And convertible 4x4's Full stretch Limo's, too!
  9. Want to see more Estate Wagons? Then again, we have pickups / utes:
  10. Edit: Header to frame clearance looks difficult in these pics. I have also seen the front Z cut just behind the front axle, but in front of the engine, more clearance for exhaust. Why couldn't I post this to my post? Grrrr!
  11. I have tried it (still waiting to complete it) I saved some pics of Z'd frames from others, for inspiration. Hope they don't mind. '32 frame by Dave Fletcher '81 Bronco by Jared Roach Builder unknown. Try using the boards 'search' feature for frame Z'ing.
  12. And I bet the G Man who dreamed that up has been either re-elected, or promoted!
  13. While not an exact replica, Revell did offer this pre-paint '34. Great way to keep busy while the broken bones heal. Firsthand knowledge of that one.
  14. Jason, you did that Stratos nice! That color makes me think Mopar!
  15. Thanks, Tim. Not having a life has its advantages.
  16. Replicating the seat may be a good beginner subject to learn resin casting on. Just a thought.
  17. In the last few months, one of the two leading model mags (sorry, don't remember which) had a tip about filling tires with silicone. Wonder if that would help "fill out" that concave tire surface?
  18. Hey man! Can ya be a little more specific on what the TD Baja Bandito is? Like, what vehicle is it based on? Or, being a Tom Daniels kit, is it possible to tell? Try looking here... my "Model Box Art" pages. Listed alphabetically. Over 50 pages, so if you want to get to the "M"s, for instance, use the links @ top of the pages for shortcuts. http://public.fotki.com/JCole/model_box_art/
  19. I tip my hat to you, sir! that... is amazing work! As well as eye straining!
  20. I wish Cow Hampster would do that. Problem is, those eagle-eyed law enforcement types like to keep an eye out for over due inspections... thus another reason to pull someone over. This, in turn, often leads to other charges. How many charges such as DUI started out as a simple overdue inspection stop? Or a burned out bulb? Or...
  21. NH insp stickers are amazingly easy to do even with a basic computer graphics program. Not only is it easy to replicate the front of the sticker, but the inside print as well. Get caught, and I am sure Big Bro won't be too impressed. Not worth it, imho.
  22. Like Mike expressed, if you don't want to build your own, I also recommend a Pace booth. It's American made, and a quality unit. The small unit I believe costs less than the booth from Micro-Mark.
  23. And this strife is why I don't even go into the trades section. I just don't need to open myself up to the hassles. Shame it has to be that way.
  24. Ninety nine dollars?! YIKES! No wonder this topic exists! Wish... the op had mentioned that price, would have spared some confusion. Oh well, no biggie!
