  1. Congratulations Peter & wife.
  2. Progressive was great when I had my motorcycle accident.
  3. State Farm did that to me a few years ago. I went over to Progressive, Ray.
  4. And everybody has then Harry. In this case, I think you're right about the light purple top. I like it!
  5. Thanks marty. The running boards are the same color as the interior.
  6. Thanks for the idea Rick. I'll probably just leave it like it is and get my hands on another kit and try it again - with acrylic paints.
  7. Thanks Andy. The finish kinda grows on ya after a while.
  8. Thanks Tommy. Looking back, I probably should have used acrylic paint for the wood instead of enamel.
  9. Thank you guys. Shouldn't be a problem stopping, Patrick, disc brakes on the front. I scored another Ice Cycle kit off ebay last night, so be looking for another build from me down the road.
  10. What's the twist? I put a Harley-Davidson engine in the freezer and painted it with HOK magenta kandy over a silver basecoat. I have to get another one and use the front end (freezer) as the back end of a trike.
  11. Oh man. No pool table or jukebox? Bummer. Looks really good though.
  12. Thank you Ron. I thought gray shades would be really cool with the body color. Oh well - I like it.
  13. I normally have 3 builds going at any particular time. My process is pretty simple. Open the box and dump everything out. Set the empty box to the rear of the bench and then all the parts off the sprues. From the empty box I work forward to the front on the bench starting with the body parts, then chassis and related parts, interior, and then engine parts. The next kit will go to the left and get lined up and the 3rd kit further to the left. I might be fortunate in that the bench for separating kit parts is my stained glass bench and measures 8' x 3'. Plenty of room.
  14. I think it looks pretty cool. Nice build.
  15. Thank you Luis.
  16. Thank you Luis.
  17. Nice job Steve. Welcome back to the hobby.
  18. Sweet & SHINY :) hot rod.
  19. There used to be a sump pump backup system that ran off your water supply. Didn't have to worry about a dead battery.
  20. Holy cow!! I was right for once.
  21. Thanks Bob. Never seen them in Publix out here.
