Beautiful. You make it look easy.

Looks excellent. May I ask what gauge of Aluminum wire you used for the roll bar cage? It looks spot on.

Follow the line up from the box. So 1986 was when the Revell issue came out. Claims "New Parts"?

My parents had one like this for awhile when I was a kid. Stylish? Though I'd rock one now...

Famous is not a way that I'd describe the band The Fugs and looking at youtube I realized I couldn't post a link here without getting a time out.

A shame Ed no longer has the "correct" seats available...

Banished, no, but you sank My Battleship!!!

Either way they don't care since The Monkee's are too busy singing to put anyone down.

Revell or AMT? Preferably with the blown hemi over the olds... Just got this and want to put it in the queue.

Idk what happened here. Phone gremlins? Wish I'd gotten these...

Bump. Good info again.

Interesting. Always something new to learn.

I plan on keeping it, at least til retirement, if that ever happens. Hopefully soon, I'll upgrade the brakes and I want to get a rear sway bar on it. My son and I've talked about a cold air intake... It's a great lil go-kart. Hauls quite a bit inside with the seats down and has been trouble free. Best car I've had since a 90 Loyale. If I buy anything else, it'll be a 60s Bug.

Yes as well as a few small brands like Reeds Ginger Ale, etc. Tastes better, lesser bad effects. I agree with Bill, the sweetener alternatives, especially the chemical ones are terrible for you. I rarely drink soda anymore.

Few sodas have "real" sugar. Since the eighties most have High Fructose Corn Syrup. In fact I remember the ads telling us on TV that High Fructose Corn Syrup was just the same as sugar...

A side note their tires/ wheels are 20% off on EBay. Been tempted to get their Artillery Wheels with big/littles.

Drank from the hose, was out riding my Schwinn Stingray all over h-ll and back, rode in pick up beds, rode in the car without baby seats or even seat belts, a lot of second hand smoke and still kicking.

Exactly!

Very cool.

I've wanted this since it was first published. I had bought "Gasser Wars" from Larry Davis when he first mentioned it on SLM on Yahoo Groups. Then life happened... all these years later I have rebought that and finally have gotten his Super Stock book. Oh wait, I guess it's kinda model related after all. Never mind. I've gotten nothing today.

Fiveum was the word but I saw Steak-Ums which reminded me of Philly Steak sandwiches and day-um... now I'm hungry.
