  1. $3.55 in Poteau, oklahoma. for the cheap gas. which 30 bucks lasts me about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks
  2. the purple one is my 55 and the blue is my 57. i did the 55 pretty much stock a while back. when i got the 57 i knew how to do things and i changed things up. i added extra lines. such as nitrous, fuel, oil.... i took a oil pump from a stock car and used it as a fuel pump, which turned out really cool. i used a shotgun style scoop from a muscle machine car, i cut and glued a top fuel wing to the back, which i got from a fellow model car builder on here. i hope to get better pictures but the flash messed them up. this was the only one worth puttin up. thats what i get for having a cheap camera
  3. thats ok about the models. im just glad everything is ok with me. and thanks for the support. and thank you too george
  4. i found out what was wrong with my back. i was told it was a vertabral compression fracture. in other words a cracked vertabra. im not supposed to squat for 6 to 8 weeks. it will heal itself. i am getting around alot better than when it started.
  5. im gonna say real..... if it is a model someone has tooo much time to work on the detail and custom shaping of it.
  6. I just hope i still have plenty of time to do my model cars!!!!!!
  7. it would be awesome to meet some of you guys. too bad im nearly 1800 miles away.
  8. thanks. and your right, the back is something you shouldnt ignore.....
  9. 2 weeks ago we had a weightling comp at school. just do as much as you can. while doing parallel squat i felt something wierd in my back.of course i was also trying to beat the school record of 560 but fell short 10 pounds. i will break the record by the end of school. back to what i was saying. the feeling never bothered me and quickly went away. the pain came back this week and tuesday it hurt to sit or stand. im going to a physical therapist this week( who is also my footbal coach) to see what he has to say about it. hopefully everything is ok and i wont have to have anything done. just thought i would let anyone know whats going on. wish me luck
  10. i cant do the build off. the car i was going to buy is just getting too high for my budget. it was a advanced volkswagen model by union. build either a stock bug or a aa super gas beetle
  11. i think it would be really cool if one of the kit manufacturers made a kit out of this. maybe you can submit it to a few companies. i doubt they listen to many people though,. still would be cool
  12. ill do it next year. gives me a while to save up stuff
  13. not 100% yet, but i might be doing a vw beetle.
  14. i DID a ca i would like to have entered/ but i finished it well before i heard about this. 41' willy's goodguys edition. two tone black on top lime green on bottom. headers from a stars and stripes corvette i had on the shelf. (probably shouldnt of took them off) besides that it was pretty much stock. but still looked nice
  15. im glad i didnt join the build off. from what ive seen id get blown away. everyone is doing such a great job. i think ill just sit back and watch.
  16. i checked the website out and it has some really neat parts. i may have to order something from there later on.
  17. here is an idea for a custom model build. took me and my dad 4 years to do. still not done. its hard to work on soemthing when you dont have the time. if you want a few more pictures just pm me. i have a couple more Click to enlarge:
  18. is there a website i could go to to look at the items??
  19. the car looks really nice.i did one like it, but not as good
  20. I will have to try that sometime. ive always wanted to do an interior different than just plain color
  21. i know the pictures arent very good but i had to take them with a camera phone. its the monogram 1/12 camaro. everything is stock minus the motor. i took pieces from the Muscle Machines car to make the breather and for the braided lines. my dad wasnt happy about tearing the other car up. but i like the camaro better. again. sorry for the blurry pictures. ill try to take better ones later.
