  1. That would be it. Remember I re-made the the drawing you originally supplied and did a drawing in scale to be used as templates. Get to the LHS and buy some Evergreen. I don't think Evergreen makes diamond plate so I had to go with Plastrut stuff. If I didn't do the tandem axle deal, I would have cut a door for storage on either side. There's lots of variations you could do but at least thebasic template is readily available.
  2. here's some pics of my car hauler. Down the side shot showing the 23" T's and a little of the exhaust tip. Head on shot. Rear view showing the movable wheel chocks, winch, tie chians with axle straps. A complete view with the ramps. Top view showing the winch, wheel chocks, tie down chains. Here's a bottom shot showing the megaa exhaust and the Evergreen frame made to support the rear section. I've posted the scale drawings for the car hauler. In case you missed them or want file sent to you, just let me know.
  3. I looked at the 40% off coupon that says "for in-store purchases". So even if they have mail order you wouldn't get the discount.
  4. I've never tried because they have a store about 25 miles away that I go to.
  5. at one time. Hope it works. http://s544.photobucket.com/albums/hh330/I...m/villages2009/
  6. I usually download pic to Photobucket and then cut & paste pics one at a time over to MCM forum. Yesterday we went to a car show at the Villages and I wanted to get the pics up for members to see. I'm not sure how to post a bunch of pics like others have with car shows. Can anyone help, please?
  7. Hobby Lobby iss offering 30% off plastic kits and diecasts this week. Online ad also has a 40% off one item coupon.
  8. Looking pretty fine! Painted bumpers look good on your version.
  9. I had several sets of T's I got from Rick at Scale Drams, but for the price I bought more - and some Bellagio's, and Phat Daddies, and Indy Profile tires w/Keystone Klassic wheels (out of stock but supposed to get them this month). It's only money, right?
  10. Hobbylinc has a sale going on - Pegasus chrome 23" T's for $6.09. There's other wheels and stuff on sale too!
  11. Citrus County
  12. There's a place called Gold Coast Air Brush or maybe Coast Air Brush that's supposed to be pretty good. maybe someone will post the real name.
  13. Saturday brought a replacement windshield from Lindberg - but it was cracked just like the one in the box. They're going to send another replacement. Went out to get a check for a trtade with Joe Handley and mailed parts to Nick Winter. I was out so I went to the LHS too! Got lucky because he had the new 5 window coupe. Bought that, some Evergreen essentials, and 2 bottles of Tenax. Waiting for the mailman to bring some wheels from Nick Winter, some models from Ernie (it's been real hot in Arizona), and in a few days more models from Joe Handley. In the meantime, I'm trying to finish up my car hauler.
  14. Take care of yourself. Watch your back. Come home soon and safe. Thank you for serving our country.
  15. Pace makes a fine looking spray booth at a lower price. I took Pace's design and built my own. There's a post(s) in here somewhere all about doing your own.
  16. How come you have the hole in the box? Is it to show the rear suspension? Do real trucks do that?
  17. Not much going to get done today. Going up to the VA in Gainesville for tests to try and find out what & why I'm bleeding inside. We're on the left coast - the left coast of Florida and we have at least hundreds of stars. You can them in the sky every night. In reality, Ted Williams used to live a few miles away, gary Burghoff (Radar O'Reilly) spends the winters closer to the gulf, an old wrestler - I forget his name - lives close by.
  18. Everybody missed it - free beer, wine,mixed drinks,1/3 lb angus burgers,hotdogs, and kielbasa. It could have been your if youshowed up at that party I through tonight at the VFW post. Hopefully next time it happans again, I'll be able to invite you all again.
  19. Johnny, sometimes you just have to play the VAs game. Don't get smart them just ask or another opiniob. Never, ever be late for an appointment, and worse, don't show at all. You automatically go back to the end of the. Have thought about requesting assistance from you congressman/woman? Down here by me in FLA, we have Ginny Brown-Waite. Ginny and her staff have done wonders for Veterans who going nowhere in thr VA sytem. IF you're in FLA, contact Ginny's office in Brooksville. Whatever state you live in has to have access to elected politicians. You might have to use them tobe able to the VAto better understandyout issues. I need to get up Gainesville VA tomorrow for more tests. They say I' bleeding inside but don't know where from. Hey, I'm serviceconnected - do all the tests you want. It doesn't cost me a dime. HAng in there Johnny. It might get worse before it gets better, but it will get better. Love ya, Brother. Jim

  22. Welcome to the MCM Forum and WELCOME HOME, Johnny. PTSD can really mess you up. Get to the VA and TALK to people. Try to get compensation from the VA - you earned it. PTSD caused my first marriage to collapse. USMC, Vietnam 1969-70, 1st battalion, 13th Marines.
  23. That's why I converted my Imps' "backseat" into a lockable trunk.
  24. I would never do that. Coming from from MA, you'd better be on a plane by now.
  25. Nope. Nothing going to happen around my area. But then there's only a post office in Dunnellon and the real baby post office in Holder. They're about 15 miles from each other. Holder is never busy but they close at lunchtime. I shouldn't say "they". There's only one person who works there.
