  1. Wow another excellent one! Great job, love the stance.
  2. Wow that's close to perfect. So nice seeing an import with such impeccable build quality. Bravo!
  3. Click on the member's name above their avatar, it will bring you to their page. Look to the right of their name ( in the dark gray area ) and you will see an icon that looks like an envelope which says "message". Thats it. Yep, works differently than before.
  4. Came out great, B. I know the paint issues trashed your original goal, but I like it better now. It has a lot of character, something that clean and shiny may have not accomplished. It will look good on the shelf next to your other lakes builds. Great weathering too!
  5. You stagger the chop on the A pillars. Here's the link: http://trakinscale.proboards.com/thread/17179/deuce-tudor-top-choppin
  6. Ck this out. You can clearly see how much faster a properly set up car with a good driver and massive aero aids can be.
  7. Stuck to the pavement like a slot car. Great to watch! Didn't he beat the record by almost a half second?
  8. Rule 62: Don't take yourself too seriously.
  9. Fiesta ( with powershift transmission ) Ford Isnt Ever Solving Transmission Abnormalities
  10. Yep trailing arms.
  11. My next door neighbor is a postman. I can't tell if he was nuts before he got the job, or after. He hoards cars. And not good ones either...Ford LN7, Mercury Mystique, an 80 something Celica....
  12. It took a bit since I'd forgotten what it was
  13. That's exactly like it comes in the kit. Comparing the 3 bodies side to side, the AMT is about 3 scale inches shorter at the cowl than the MPC version, which is around a 1 shorter than the Revell. I am so used to the AMT kit, having built a dozen or more since '62, that the correctly proportioned Revell kit looks funny to me.
  14. The body isn't too bad, but I really dont like the thickness of the top insert. Adding a section to the body sides to get the right proportions is simple. The frame is so wrong that I substituted a modified AMT 32 Vicky frame. I got this far with it.
  15. And the USPS blames me when my mail comes up missing. "have you checked you mailbox? do you have other people living in your household? Have you asked them if they have it?"
  16. Do you mean the spiders that cover the hub and lug nuts?
  17. As soon as I saw your last name I thought is it THAT Herndon? Welcome!
  18. Welcome from Fremont. Where are you located?
  19. Yeah, when the one in my city was still open it was stunning. I tried to patronize them, but just couldn't pay 50 to 100% more than anywhere else.
  20. That's Chuck Darnell's oustanding 1/8 model. Here's a link to more pictures: http://public.fotki.com/DWDarby/model_cars/18th-scale-uncertai/
  21. Aztec is awesome. I love it. The clear is fantastic, dries rock hard and polishes up great. I was sold on it as soon as it came out of the airbrush. But Ron, why do you thin it? Its airbrush ready as it comes in the bottle.
  22. When I was around 55 the restaurant the g/f and I go to frequently offered us the senior menu. It offended her so much that she refused to go back for years. Fortunately she's not taking herself too seriously anymore, but sheesh, 5 bucks or more off our meals, who'd not like that? It's a plus too, to put blame on my age when forgetting things. I like to use "hey, gimme a break, I'm old and feeble" It usually elicits a few chuckles.
