  1. Thanks guys. Yes, it still needs clear.
  2. DANG IT George. They told us not to say anything or they would go after our kittens too.
  3. Here's what I've been working on lately. This is for the muscle category in our year long club build off. I started by shaving all the badges and door handles. Colors are Testors Graphite Dust with Testors Lime Ice flames. There's a few flaws in the flames, but I only had ONE shot with them, so they'll have to do. I opened up the trunk and added some subs and an amp. And a quick mock up.
  4. Too plain. I gotta have some sparkle. Metallic, flake, or pearl, not sure which yet.
  5. I've been considering aluminum fenders, deck plates and light bars under the cab and sleeper and on the air cleaners. Been thinking blue or green.
  6. Back on this one again. Still not sure what colors to go with though.
  7. I know this is a little off topic, but I found it appropriate. I still can’t help but cry When I see them replay it on the news 3,000 lives lost, buildings destroyed A call for over 100 fire crews I still can’t help but cry When we have a moment of silence for the dead I can hear the BOOM and the screams I remember how they all bled I pray tonight on my knees “Oh God please help my nation heal I know its 11 years later now But every year it remains so real” “Please God help those families of the lost Give them the strength to try and move on Help them soar on wings like Eagles Renew their faith, make them strong” “Lord I pray for those whose birthdays are today Instead of getting a birthday balloon or snack People could care less they were born today They just can’t get their mind off that evil attack” “Lord I pray for those who blamed you Please help them to realize It was not at all our fathers fault Perhaps this happened to open the worlds eyes” “Lord forgive me for my next few words Its not to Christian if you can’t already tell But for those bastards who terrorized this nation May they forever rot in hell!” Please God help the people to: Dislike the greedy Appreciate the giving Remember the fallen And pray for the living
  8. About a week ago someone got into my car. I say got into because the windows were down. I had just gotten to work, and like always I left the windows down, but locked it up (remote lock, factory alarm). 10 minutes later I left on a delivery, noticed 2 packs of cigarettes, $10 in change, 2 Vicodin and a BAG OF JOLLY RANCHERS were missing. It wasn't much, they could've gotten a LOT more (subs, amp, in dash DVD, GPS). I actually think it's kinda funny that they took a bag of Jolly Ranchers though. I've decided to have a Viper alarm/remote start installed, with window automation and proximity sensor.
  9. X2, I need some tips with the chrome for a future build.
  10. My Amazon haul. And while in A2 I went the extra 10 miles to Ypsilanti to the Model Cave.
  11. Not a bad idea with interior design. Without a fullsize sleeper it shortens the wheelbase, which will make it easier to maneuver. Exterior design on the other hand, is not very desirable.
  12. I had a similar issue with a set of Italeri wheels. The ones sent were not the ones pictured. He sent me the correct set, and told me to keep the others. I purchased ANOTHER set the other day from him, and he's sending me a headache rack for free with them.
  13. I don't have a premium package, just expanded basic Comcast. Velocity is channel 205 here.
  14. I watch Overhaulin RELIGIOUSLY, even the reruns. Got the DVR set to record every episode. Can't wait for the new season.
  15. I miss the days when every store carried a great selection. I remember when my LHS had a 30 foot long 5 tier shelf FULL of models. Now it's barely a 10 foot 4 tier and VERY bare.
  16. They're actually BUILDING a new Meijer??? I figured it was only a matter of time before they started closing stores due to excessive loss of business to Walmart. We've got 2 Meijer stores here, I'll have to check em both out.
  17. To be built within the next year (for a year long buildoff with my club): 1970 Chevelle (Revell) 1969 Camaro (Revell) 1990 Chevy stepside (AMT) Acura Integra (Revell) 1980 Monte Carlo (MPC) To EVENTUALLY get built/already started: Italeri Peterbilt 359 Moebius Lonestar Trumpeter 1978 Monte Carlo AMT 454SS pickup x4 AMT/Perry's 1994 S-10 extended cab AMT 1990 Chevy stepside x3 AMT S-10 Xtreme x2 AMT 1972 GMC stepside x3 Revell 1986 Monte Carlo x2 Revell 1958 Impala Revell 1966 Impala Lindberg 1961 Impala x2 AMT 2005 Chrysler 300C AMT Cadillac Escalade Revell Mitsubishi Eclipse Monogram 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Tamiya Toyota Celica x2 AMT 1958 Plymouth Belvedere x3 I know there's more, but that's just off the top of my head.
  18. Got the RG 502 in a trade on another forum, and the rims and PE from prostreeter69.
  19. I just bought 2 of them as well from the same guy.
  20. He doesn't have a website, I get them on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251133526967?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 Years ago, (circa 2003) when I first discovered them, these were going for $19.99 shipped. My have times changed.
  21. You are correct sir. After a quick search on google, my engine, which was a 4.3 Vortec (Z model), WAS TBI.
  22. There is one listed on emodelcars. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/auction/resin-1967-mustang-eleanor,name,575,auction_id,auction_details
  23. I've been using Preston's. While they're not very detailed, they work good for me.

    75 Cutlass

    Diggin the color bro. Now send me that RG 350. LMAO
  25. It says that about Aurora in a few of his listings. I think it was a copy and paste and he forgot to change a few things. I've bought from him MANY times with no issues at all. In fact, he's the one I got my Lonestar from for $50 shipped. I'd say these numbers are very acceptable. 1 month/ 6 months/ 12 months Positive --- 894/ 5146/ 8861 Neutral --- 1/ 5/ 7 Negative --- 3/ 6/ 9
