thats a really cool project and i like where it is going any thoughts on sheetmetal yet ?

if you install one though make sure tighten the nut that holds the coilspring in place on a unrelated note, what is the little arm connected to the top of the axle....is that a panhard rod or is this something else? a good place to find this setup is in the 71 pro street superbee kit and i think there are a few resin casters out there aswell who offer something similar

finally got some more progress to show the body is painted, decalled, clearcoated, polished and buffed. i started assembly to the front end which is pretty much done and all that is left is the rear bumper, glass and final assembly here are a few quick mockups of the car

i think you made a mistake, this is the "under glass" section, not the "real or model" section

not an awefull lot of chrome on a windshield but just to be perfectly clear (after all, that is my goal here) this windshield is not yet glued into the body so i can take just that part and redo it im sure the wifey has some windex 'round here somewhere, not sure bout the amonia...and I should have some more future downstairs thnks fellows

hey guys several months ago i painted a windshield with some future tinted with testors acrylic blue when i was done i put a cap on the bottle of tinted future and put it away for several months well, the other day i had another windshield i wanted to tint with the future so i looked at the bottle and thought it still looked good (paint was still very nicely mixed) so i stirred it and shot it through the airbrush on second though the future/paint mixture might have gone bad so, long story short, the windshield looks dull and wavy and i want to start over how do i remove the future/paint mixture ?

a 3 cilinder from ford ? i need to buy a smaller boat if im going to use that as an anchor

with LHSs disapearing due to the internet and what not i dont think i have ever set foot in mine without the express purpose of spending some money now, a lot of times i go in there intending to buy something i saw on one of my previous trips there but sometimes i let the store show me what i need and if i really dont see any kits i want to spend the money on there is always paint and tools i can use more off having said that, my LHS carries some very intresting stuff, including revell of germany kits and some of those japanese ones i dont know how to pronounce on top of that they do sell of collections for individuals which happened to me the reason for my last trip there, i had some overtime last week and they had the "offroad adventure" kit for 32.95

i think i have seen one of the snapfat duallies in the trade section here within the last week, it might still be there it is a great kit here is my rendition

the front indicator is model masters "turn signal amber" painted over bare metal foil (BMF, its a model specific aluminum foil with an adhesive backing that is used to simulate chrome trim) the rear indicator is tamiya's "stop light red" painted over BMF

that jogged my memory to 3 great movies no one mentioned taxi taxi2 taxi3 i especially liked the opening scene in taxi2 where luc is stuck behind Jean-Louis Schlesser and the whole dialogue that goes on (i couldnt find the subtitles in english so here's a transcript of it...beginning untill the guy calls the time) Left! 3rd! Jean-Louis Schlesser in his mean machine, No. 10, 10, like Zidane 30 meter, left Brake! World rally champion in '98 and '99. winner of the Paris - Dakar: the man to beat! Left, top speed! Get a move on! We'll get slaughtered! I'm flat out! The guy behind's flatter out! Watch out! He's flashing me! Isn't that Vatanen? No, a taxi! Move your crate! I'm working here! -Is it the right road? -Short cut! Short cut... -Don't let a taxi win! -No way! Sorry, folks. A tourist's blocking the road! It looks more like a race car. It's just a clown in a "babe magnet"! A taxi on our tail sure looks bad! I'll shake him now! He rammed me! Enough! We'll be here all week! Nearly there, lady. Why...why are there so many people here? They're on vacation. Oh, right! C'mon. Jean-Louis!Bravo, Jean Louis! No. 10 ... It's not Schlesser! A taxi... I didn't catch his number... 17 min., 25 sec!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooh baracuda

never heard of fall guy or dirty mary (i know dirty harry though) but what i mean is, i dont need to hear anything that would spell out like this on the forum guy1 : hey ...how the ****** are you ? guy2 :******** great you ********* how is your ******** hanging? guy1 :my ******** is booming man, just ********* booming guy2 :********* guy1 :******* just ****** i can get past the bad acting and just plain stupidity of the plot/dialogue/director but i draw the line at having to listen to a barague of cussing

i never made it past the nova scene the while dialogue just did it for me, i dont care how great a movie it is, im not opening my mind up to that same thing with aqua teen hunger force, im pretty sure i have seen every episode and i think i should even have the DVDs laying round here somewhere so when they did a full lenght movie i ran out and rented it about 3 minutes into it i got rid of it because of the language

you know, i tried watching that movie but i couldnt make it past the first 5 minutes, the dialouge was exactly what what we could expect from kwinton tarantula so i should have know better then to rent one of his movies as for the origenal question, what about the entire movie "highwaymen" bad guy drives a modified 73 caddy (with one headlight out) good guy drives a 68 hemi barracuda

why dont you extend it and make it into a car hauler...like a modern deora

sounds interesting the only thing i can think of (that i have 2 of) are a pro street superbee and 69 chargers not making any promises but ill consider it

seen a ford boss mustang yesterday yellow one

you know what i think would be cool ? the overall cleanness of the 70 grill but with the quad lamps of the 71 (just my 2 cents, im sure no matter what you do this will be cool)

like those thingamabobbers with the little pins you can put your face in and somehow your lips always look huge

not sure where i got those from but i do know i have another set on my dartster and a third set in my partsbox shoot me a PM and we can discuss a trade on the set in the partsbox

this is one of the models thats on my list of stuff i want to build i really like the colour you chose and other then the trim we discussed earlier the only suggestion i have is to hit the tailpipes with a dab of black paint to give it some depth cant wait to see the next one

i used to pass by a ford dealership in lowell on my way to work and they always had at least a dozen roush mudstanks out parked the stage 3s by the road and the stage 1s in the back

from the looks of it those are the blueprints to a baseball field

darned bill, you beat me to it
