  1. Those wheels and stance give it a 60's nostalgic look, I'd leave it like that.
  2. I'm a big Ferrari fan and I can't believe it either. But I will be rooting for Ross Brawn's team, he was great in gettting Michael to 7 championships. I think he will be just as successful as a team owner/principal. The Red Bull team was unstoppable in the rain, and the Toyota's aren't doing bad either. I think it's good for the sport to see other teams and drivers accel. I am glad that Wonderboy is getting a dose of reality, he's a good driver but he's not the "Best driver in F1" (his own words). It's going to be interesting to see how the season finishes out.
  3. Well want goes around comes around. Mclaren are having a tough time this week also, they have qualified poorly again. Like I have said before, I'm a big Ferrari fan but I like seeing all the other teams mixing it up. I think this might be a good season for some of the other talented drivers to have a chance to show what they can do.
  4. One word to describe your build,SWEET! Really nice looking cruiser.
  5. I couldn't stay awake to watch qualifying, but I went to the F1 website this morning. WOW what a shake up from last year. Ross Brawn was brilliant when he was at Ferrari, looks like he hasn't lost his touch. He must have figured out the something about the new cars and rules. I bet WonderBoy wasn't too happy.
  6. Friday practice is done. If this is a indication of how the season is going to play out, it's going to be good. I hope all the teams are competitive.
  7. If Hamilton goes to Ferrari that would suck. His head would never fit in his helmet. I'd root for Massa twice as hard, and any other driver on any other team. But if Kimi leaves Ferrari, I would rather see Vettel get the seat.
  8. I just bought these kits but haven't opened them yet. Should I open and build them or take them back? Would like some of your opinions. Thanks.
  9. I kind of like the current points system, it' simple and pretty fair.
  10. Great find!I'm envious of your 66 ragtop, that's one year I don't have in my Impala collection. Post some pictures when you build it.
  11. I have that kit. It is curbside, but still has the typical crisp Tamiya detail. I had a 84 Audi that I bought new when I was stationed in Germany, thats why I bought the kit.
  12. As a last resort if you can't find the color you want, go to a local auto paint store and see if they will mix 4 or 8 oz. of the color you need. It may cost more but it can be used on future builds.

    '29 PICK UP

    Killer build, love the wheels,love the stance.
  14. Excellent build of the most beautiful American car ever built.(I love mid sixties corvette coupes).
  15. Nice job so far, I'm a big Schumi/Ferrari fan. Keep us posted on your progress.
  16. I wouldn't mind having that in 1:1 in my driveway. Nice job.
  17. If you include customs, mine would be Cadzilla. But if it's only street rods, it would be a toss up between Milner's coupe and the California Kid.
  18. I like it. Thats where the new beetles engine should be.
  19. Nice job, I also have that same kit as well as several other Schumi kits. I haven't started any of them yet.
  20. Nice job,I like the 2 tone paint. I've been working on the same kit for the last several MONTHS. Between being lazy and too picky I'll never get finished. When I see builds like yours, it gives me some motivation to finish mine.
  21. Our local club participated in the local IMPS show last spring. We were asked to judge the automotive categories. We broke up into small groups,and you weren't allowed to judge a category you were entered in (no conflict of interest). It was my first time judging and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I learned alot in the process, but it was difficult to choose a winner in each category. I'd do it again if asked.
  22. Beautiful panel paint job, the chrome foil stripes on the roof is a nice period touch.
  23. Nice job so far! I paint 1:1 vehicles for my livelyhood,I can appreciate your hard work. Nice color, post the finished product when you're done.
  24. I love this magazine, I look foward to every issue and I read them cover to cover.But if I pissed off some of you or yanked someones chain or insulted someone,sorry. ######, from now on I'll keep my opinions to myself.
  25. Baby Moons and whitewalls will look great with that nice 2 tone paint.
