Yesterday, Sunday, Had a 40% off coupon, but it also had an added page with three more couponsones was good yesterday, one is good this friday, and the last is good saturday.

Ok I see ppl have pics in there signatures, my wife even had one, now she cant put it back in and I can't get one in there either. A little help with this matter would be appreciated.

What color is that? Looks like HOK Limetime Green Pearl.

I got a one that the older guys might get really quick.

The wife wouldnt let me use the 50% off today only coupon at Michaels today, and I wanted the Mustang Boss model

Go to WalMart and look for a purple gallon jug in the automotive section, It reads Super Clean. Wear gloves!!!!!! It does not warp the plastic, I have a body in mine thats been in there for over a month,( I just dont feel like putting the gloves on and scrubbing it.) What you do is take an old container, I have an old display case turned upside down, and fill it up enought to submerse the body, and let it set overnight or however long you want, anf then take it a give it a rub down with an old toothbrush, or your wife's if there is one handy, you know those electric tooth brushes come in handy , Just kidding Ani. Make sure you wash the body with dish soap to get all the chemicals off. It also works good for stripping chrome and cleaning out spray can nozzles, Hope this helps.

Went to Hobbytown USA for the first time, and got a 67 Chevelle, GTX? Blue Laquer and some more of the clear, Boyds Sunburst Orange. Then went to Michael's and got some more #11 xacto blades and 2 sticks of balsa wood.

That looks pretty good, I can see all the errors that I make all the time on it, But over all good job. I'm not a real fan of Boyd's models though.

I agree with Harry, I like #5 and that drawing harry

It actually went together pretty smooth. only real problem I had was the headers, because they go out to the side so far. But a few pieces of tape and some cussing held it together. And strangely enough, I dont have any plastic Bigfoot models because it was the first truck I remember seeing. I do have the metal body ones though.

I'm still trying to figure out what build flopped.

I guess that I dont go into that much detail is because I dont really know whats wrong with the model.

When you start a new kit, what do you do first in the process of building? I get the body painted, because thats what usually decides what color the interior is gonna be.

Man, gotta love those Studes. Awesome build.

I am really appreciative of what these guys did back in the 80s, if they hadnt I wouldnt be building these models today.

under your photo on photobucket LEFT click on the IMG code (4th line) and past it in your post.

USA-1 was one of the first generatins of monster trucks. It was built by Everett Jasmer, to promote his off road business much like all the early monster trucks were such as Bigfoot, Bearfoot, Virgina Giant, King Krunch, and Awesome Kong. They were built on stock bodies with huge leaf springs, military axles, and heavily reinforced frames to accomiate the 66 inch tall tires. Everett actually got to go through a mud pit along side one of the fathers of monster trucks, Bob Chandler, eventually pulling out Bigfoot with his smaller K-10 truck. Since USA-1 and Bigfoot looke similar, Everett changed everything up in 87, painted it white, with the red white and blue decals we see today, and switched from a ford to a chevy. in 93 he went to the tube chassis and after 2002 he started using the USA-1 name as a mission to support faith and to support the troops.

I hate when parts come off the tree themselves and get behind the folds of the boxes

$15.99 but I got it with a 40% off coupon so about 9 bucks

WHat exactly are y0ou wanting to know about this kit?

Well you could always ship me your monster truck kits the tires came with the kit, all i did was paint the wheels.

This is a fairly easy build for a monster truck compared to most of the other ones that I have built, as it is based off of an older version. All it is, is a regular truck lifted instead of the full roll cage chassis like most others. I do have a few grips for this though you see the bars going from the frame to the axles, I have built several of these kits and they are always too long. and the lights that go on the roll bar usually don't fit in the holes for them. It comes with a few spare parts, another differential, a set of molded rims with chrome inserts and a set of chrome rims, and one of theos 2 piece spare tires, I am assuming there was another model this cast was used for. But all in all these problems will not deter me from building more of these kits. I think it is a good kit. I will add some history when I get to work, I am running out of my free time before work . If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

I really have no problem with Testors. Anyway here are some progress pics, almost done, just need to ut the grill on and the tail lights, bumper, rollbar lights, a few detail things and it will be done, I seem to have alot that are almost done. Maybe I should go through my boxes and see which ones are almost done.

I don't think he would mind another entry. Man that thing is sick!!!!! I think my chance of winning is slowly fading away....... Unless I pull out al the stops with my Super Bee, speaking of the Super Bee, where did I put it? Hmmmmm...

Man these are looking awesome. Nice work.
