  1. i was afraid you would say that (straight piping would be so much easyer ) anyways, i just noticed your PM (not sure how it slipped by) the lambo V12 will definatly be interesting i never worked with resin though so it would be a first and your still trading all of this (not sure what we all said anyway) for the hondy body and a set of rims?
  2. hey guys im building a '53 ford pickup truck with a modified engine in it for the exhaust i am using headers and stacks here is my question, in the real world , would i want to go straight from header to stack or would i want to isntall a cross over (X or H pipe) which ever one would build the most power is what i want to do sooooooo.... thanks guys
  3. thanks guys this car really was a practice piece the dents were made by heating up the side of the car with a lighter then, when the styrene was soft i pressed the tail end of the lighter into it (the same plastic was used on the T-tops as on the windows) i then filled it with spackle and sanded it down some its not as great as it could be but every car is a step on the way to perfection rigt
  4. hey guys this is a car i build several years ago and rebuild about one year ago when i first build it i misplaced the glass so the glass that is in there right now is part of a plastic strawberrie container supergleud to the body it also started out as a T-top which i filled in just to make it look different the idea of the car is just a piece of junk camaro owned by a highschool kid who would rather spend the money on a set of cams then on replacing the busted up quarter panels not my most prized build but it was fun nevertheless
  5. pretty decent i hit a small snag on the tailgaite i was going with a stock one but the paint didnt work out on that so i got a smoothed out custom one and then....the paint didnt work out on that one but the rest is close to done still needs a lot of detailng though
  6. overall it looks much better but especially the driver side look ducky not sure if i like the cragars on there.... ..just kidding, those are awesome rims starting to come together now
  7. i guess since you've invested so much allready it wouldnt be nice to say no just kidding bro, welcome abaord
  8. two words : STRAW BERRIES (especially if you are builind a track car and plastic windows are fully acceptable
  9. oh thats not neraly as cool as running a full stock interior my bad
  10. looking really good but i dont think that back seat would be too comfortable you might be the only one (ive seen so far) whos running a full interior
  11. you are absolutely right i saved you a spot but then forgot to enter details gimme a minute here
  12. nice car but i hate to tell you this my entrie in the drift off will have two (2) more engines then yours
  13. starting to look like something you know in several of the pictures it almost looks like the frame is slightly bend, right behind the cab almost like it dips there i think that is what makes it look so od, the tail end of the bed seems to want to lift
  14. thanks, i really just followed the body lines on the paint it seems to flow just right that the flathead was my first try at a ford engine (other then my blown 572 focus) i like where your truck is going but maybe you went a little to mild on the stance now ill be keeping an eye on this build
  15. added you to the list

  18. i would build almost any car that chip "build" because i think he does a great job on these rides however (not hating, just stating a point) however, i would replace the wheels on almost every single one of them because i do not share his taste in rollers and at the end of the day the model will be on my display shelf, not his
  19. [*] star
  20. i like it im not a big fan of the rollers but they will definatly draw attention i do really like the small block, that is a very nice looking engine your dad didnt mind you pulling it out the camino?
  21. a kitty cat walks into a bar he sits down, looks at the barrtender and says : can i have......................a milk ? the bartender pours him a glass of milk the kitty cat drinks it and asks can i have.........................another milk ? the bartender pours him another glass and says, i hope you dont mine me asking but what is with the pause ? the kitty cat says, these ? i was born with these
