  1. I'm not sure if the car had carbon fiber either. this kit the body pieces are not seperate . you have to glue the nose and rear on. I really appreciate all the help you guys have given on CF but I dont think I will use it on this car but keep it in mind for future reference on something else.
  2. WOW !!!!!!! THOSE ARE AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!! who ever made those should get an award. thanks very much for sharing.
  3. I was at someones house once that had a bunch of 1/18 diecast cars displayed still in their boxes and I thought it looked kinda cheesy. ( just my opinion ) I thought they would look so much better out where you could really see the the whole car. keep them in a nice glass display case and they would look good and you would get more enjoyment out of them !!!
  4. thats an interesting idea. I had not thought of that. but to be honest I dont know the first thing about the carbon-fiber. does it come as a decal type thing that you cut to fit ??? anyone know where I could find it ???
  5. ok guys here's the pics of my entry just going to build it box stock maybe a few extras.
  6. Hey Guys you guys dont know me. my name is Greg . I have been a member for awhile and have not posted any builds just been mostly lurking around in the shadows. I wanted to find out if I could join in on this buildoff ??? I have a untouched fast and the furious 350z kit. let me know and if its ok will post a pic of the kit tom. thanks greg
  7. I know some of you guys like to blame unions for being a big part of the problem but just curious have any of you guys ever been in one ???? and if so have you ever had to go on strike ??????????? I am not trying to pick a fight just curious . I have never posted any builds on here I come from LIL and build lowriders and I know they are not really well liked on here and I am also 52 yrs old just to let to know I am not some smart aleck kid. also I was a member of the USWA for 18 years. I served as a grievance commitee chairman and was a shop steward for many years. and I think you may see a rise in union membership in the coming years as more and more companies push the do more with less people to the extreme as we are seeing now.
  8. hey kevin I feel you homie. but on a sad note note a long time ago a black lab ran right out in front of me on a busy road and I swerved to miss it and slammed on the brakes but could not and hit it and it got up and ran away limping and crying and I could not pull over due to the traffic. I think it ran out from a gas station and ran back to it so I hope and pray it got help. I did not see it until it was like 5 feet from my truck at a full gallop. I did not go back because I was afraid if they were the owners what they might do to me. that was like 30 years ago and it still upsets me today. and black labs are like my favorite dog . I have always braked for any animal. but on a lighter note we have these gray geese with a black ring around there neck in our area that will just waddle out in traffic in a line of 6 or 7 at a time on a 50 mph road and everybody stops until they all get across and there talkin the whole way across and its hilarious !! I look at the other drivers and we all laugh cause these guys are so funny !!! I guess cause they know they rule lol !!! and we have 3 cats and fish but as the saying goes "women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea" lol !!!!!!
  9. hey homie I got a bunch I can let you have cheap if your interested pm me here and I will let you know what I have. maybe a trade or cash ??? the ones I have are for airbrush.
  10. hey guys gm stock is 4.89 a share !!!!!!!!! time to buy ?????????? what do you think ?????????
  11. my best friend in the world and best building buddy's name is Mr Coors Light !!! he's a great friend in that he never nags me , hes always willing to listen to my problems and he always there for me. but he has a few downfalls. I have to be careful not to have him around me too much at the workbench because he will wreck a model in a heartbeat and I just cant take him anywheres because he will try and interfere with my driving. but overall he's one of those great friend's that you can take in small doses .
  12. we have 3 cats and the main one is tiger and he is always climbing up on my work bench when I am not around and draggin something off the bench and bringing it upstairs and dropping it on the floor for us as a "present". I really wish he would quit doing that. luckily he has not ruined anything yet. I guess I will have to get more bins or something to keep stuff in so he cant do it. AND EVILONE YOU HAD BETTER GET A BIGGER TANK OR GET RID OF SOME OF YOUR FISH BECAUSE YOU ARE WAY WAY OVERLOADED IN THAT 55 !!!!!!!!!
  13. its called lithotripsy . they knock you out and blast the stone till it breaks. its used to break up a stone that is too big to pass . but they can only hit it so many times or it will damage the kidney. I had it done once . so I am another member of the kidney stone club. I have had a few. the only reason they could come up with for them was dehydration. apparently I can get dehydrated easily so I have been drinking a lot more water since then and yes I also inherited it from my father. I was lucky when I had them I got a new best friend to help me through them. his name was Mr Percocet.lol
  14. as for this weekend if it rains the busch sorry nationwide guys will run in the rain but the cup guys will not
  15. I was rooting for marco. I want to see his name up there someday on the borg warner trophy !! danica is a tough lady man !! but I guess gannassi power won out today. got to give it to chip his teams are a force to reckon with. I also felt bad for sarah. she did a great job for what she had to work with . and lastly it was good to see jim nabors back. call me stupid but it just does'nt seem like the indy 500 without him singing back home again in indiana. so until next year !!!
  16. hey nickf40 lol I love this post !!! but I have to tell you 1st off been a jr fan since 98 and yes I was mad at richmond I was using quite alot of expletive delitives after that racing incident !!! mostly cause jr would have won finally if the caution did'nt come out. but you are right about about the toyota, leaps and bounds ahead of last year. and to be honest I think kyle is well on his way to being champion this year. I would say at this point it's his to lose. but you really hit the nail on the head man he drives just like sr did and gets the same reaction lol !!! I never thought about that till you brought it up. great point !!! just remember though not all of us jr and nascar fans are a bunch of drunkin whiny retarded idiots. well not whiny and retarded anyways lol !!!
  17. well guys I know you guys dont know me I am new here so my opinion means nothing so what the heck. as far as the speed channel goes I am a nascar fan but I dont watch the pre race shows or race day any of that I basically turn on the race when they get to the part about start your engines. I have been a nascar fan since 1997. hate the prerace shows .I will watch wind tunnel if dave has somebody good on. I love livin the low life as I love lowriders. I know they are not real popular here but thats always been my passion. and as far as racing goes in general if I want to watch tv and I have a choice between watching a regular tv program or some cars bikes lawn mowers what ever goin round the track I am on it. I love and appreciate all forms of motorsports. just my 2 cents. oh and as far as american chopper goes they are not builders they are cake decorators and I am tired of the fights. and unique whips they dont impress me they are not customizers at all adding a set of wheels and a sound system to a car makes it custom excuse me !! pinks - over it !! overhaulin - chip foose is a cool very talented guy but I skip all the theatrics and watch the last 10 minutes and see the before and after. oh I almost forgot kyle busch sorry if I offend any of his fans but he is a ###### good race car driver he drives the wheels of his car but he is a punk !!! and needs to grow up !! sorry but he needs to be put into the wall every week until he gets the message. I heard he wants to test a f1 I say go for it he would fit right in there. sorry for the long rant.
  18. now 3.75 a gallon in maryland. as of 5/17 it has gone up 20cents in 2 weeks. I hear rumors of 6 bucks by july 4th. bush went to saudi arabia this week and asked them to boost production to ease gas prices and they said NO. we ( my family) can get by but as the prices rise we are giving up extras 1 by 1 and I find my speed in the car is slowing down to try and conserve. I feel like there is going to be a breaking point coming and soon and I have a feeling it is not going to be pretty.
  19. oh ok I know now thanks
  20. are you talking about mcba or some other club ??? you are kinda vague . I am just trying to understand so please bare with me here.
  21. hey rollin what do you say we get together with mademan and drink some beers in his igloo and we can all work on "puka shells" lol !!!!!
  22. whats this all about ??? are you saying rollin paid off a moderator and some people in his club were scamming ???? could you please explain.
  23. hey evilone I know you from the other forum. hey homie I like your tanks. I also am into aquariums. right now I have just a 70 set up with 3 oscars and a dempsey. I have another 15 tanks that are not set up right now. when I get the basement finished I will set them up and get back into breeding angels. I used to sell them to the local pet stores. its a great way to help the hobby pay for itself. if you do decide to go saltwater or reef aquariums let me know as I can reccomend a couple of good books for you to read. to help shorten the learning curve for you and lol save up your coin cause the startup expense for one aint cheap !!!
  24. I live in md also it was 3.56 last week now 3.65 a gallon.
