    Operation Repo

    This my 1:1 truck, don't mean to hurt any feelings, but the show is fake and giving us real guys a bad rep !
  2. I bought some of the same sanding bits they use on my wife's nails attached to my dremel... they make quick work of the hardened material. I've been using the stuff for close to ten years.
  3. Both are real nice looking builds, personaly not into frt. wheel drive cars. But those wheels make the car, great choice of wheels.
  4. I agree with Ron ! Did you solder the copper wire ?
  5. Better luck next year Cody, what else do you have planned for the dio's ?
  6. No doubt, I thought for a minute something was wrong with my lap top !
  7. Sorry if the question seems dumb, but does the kit come with steering column and seats ?
  8. Wondering about an non IPMS clubs in or near the Las Vegas area ?
  9. Hey Randy when I ordered the Top Kick from you, I had asked about the GM Crew Cab Dually and a Crew Cab Top Kick and you mentioned they were in the works. Any idea as too when ?
  10. Thanks for the link to Jimnohio, your right he has great prices and some pretty cool kits.
  11. I agree, looks like a very cool project ! I'm also wondering about your power plant choice ?
  12. I like to use 1/4in. MDF board for the base and the building walls. You can try scratchbuilding windows using balsa wood and clear plastic which both can be picked at your local hobby store or try using doll house windows. For the floor, though time cosuming but the results are great; paint in on ! Mine isn't any where done but you can get an idea. http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk4/reposam/ Some of you tools and counters can also be scrachted.
  13. I'm jumping on this wagon ! I've got a few of all of the GM and Dodge P/U's that were made from the 1500 to the 3500, and I hated paying $45.00 just a few months ago for a Dodge 3500 and another $25.00 for a Dodge 2500(Snap Kits . I have plenty of cars that I have built the Galaxy and scratch built car haulers to carry said cars and only trucks to pull them. I myself like building or having the correct type of truck for the job at hand, something not right about having a trailer with 3 or 4 cars on it and a half ton hitched to it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did break down two years ago and bought the 3500 Chevy's that Jada put out in diecast, but not real happy with them since they came in way too low. Nice trucks, but their not work horses ! Although two of them did get brought back out of the weeds to a standard stance and put to Work ! I do hope that if the "BIG TWO" do lend an ear to our pleas, they don't forget to make them in both 2 and 4 wheel drive versions. I'd love to see a two wheel drive version of an 82 K5 so I can duplicate my 1:1. More to the point I'm with you guys on this and hope to see more TRUCK'S not just Suv's of all brands. Oh and one last thing of subject, where's the HHR ? That would make a cool kit as well. My wife has a daily driver that once it's paid off, will have a late model V-8 transplanted into it and turned into rear wheel drive. I Think Year One did a great job making their's and inspired me to make my own.
  14. Hey guys, I went in just yesterday and got the cold shoulder not just from the girl ringing up my stuff, but from what I can only be sure was an manager. If so who do you complain too ?
  15. Nice Nova ! but did you turn the fuel tank around ?
  16. The door portion is done, what I'm having an issue with is the placement and type of roller used to attach the door to overhead. The pin advice is appreciated I'll have to try that on another dio. Thanks
  17. Anybody have any advice or knowledge on how to make a garage roll up door, like the one's used in shops ?
  18. I was wondering if anyone has posted a "how to" on making a roll up garage door like the ones found in a commercial building or shop.
  19. Shop looks great, you and I are on the same boat with the garage doors. I'm building a shop dio and have kicked around a few ideas for doors, but I think the roll up style is the only thing that will look correct. Maybe we can put our heads together and figure out what to do. Maybe someone else has been through this and share their ideas or help.

    Cheviper

    Very cool work !!!! but I'm torn because I like both Chevy's and Mopars, so I mean this in possitive way " FUEL INJECTION CHEVY BIG BLOCK" very nice work though.
  21. Very cool, Thanks for the info. I'll check it out, though I try to stay away from ebay, but you got my attention at "crew cab" by the way where can I find this guy, or under what catagory ?
  22. Jim, you are the MAN ! these guys sell the kit from RMR, I guess it doesn't who I get the kit from.
