-
that is one of my all time favorite movies (love the play in it in Bobs burgers) cool they made a book out of it kidding guys, i know it was a book first before it was a movie

no pics on my back half but i have started cutting AND i know it will fit with the back seat and package shelf just fine no pics until the rear end comes un but i have allready stared cutting the stock frame allready Wayne, those scoops look sweet but i have a few different leads on these so ill pursuit those first
-
looks great i love the paint job on it one word of advise though (and i say this a LOT) you are running directional tires on there and the ones on the driver side are backwards

hey now, dont be to rough on those elderly married couples why, just the other day me and the wifey had diner with a couple from our church who had been married for the better half of a century while we were having diner i noticed the husband kept using terms of endearment...constantly every time he adressed his wife it was huney, sweetie or pooky after dinner the women cleared the table and disapeared into the kitchen to make some coffee i commented on how impressed i was he kept the flame going all these years and still kept using those terms for her he looked over his shoulder to make sure the kitchen door was closed leanen in and said, sonnie, i'd love to call her by her first name but i forget it over 15 years ago

Soren, that is looking very good allready one thing to consider, these cars are basically street cars which have been modded for the drag strip as much as the law allows in order for them to maintain thier street legal status they need to retain certain features like headlights, taillights, wipers and DOT aproved tires those slicks might not make the cut

first house is almost done, all thats left is the front door and the chimney maybe do a little more weathering ive also started my second building (i'd imagine this is where i would live) i got to figure out how to the rocks to look right, maybe a bit yellow or brown? and this is where i got really excited i got some work done on the actual "track" i started putting up the incline to replace the plastic risers included in the kit bu building a section out of wood for now i put some brown paper on it but that will be replaced with paper mache (spelling) later i like the way it looks now and i hope i will be able to keep the same rocky look

with it being a rice burner you can almost be sure that spoon is part of a spoiler

the cab is too square thats my main dislike of it -

and thanks to every one who voted for you-know-who...so are ours pa-dum-pum

ditch the rim Brandan not only do they look like pooh-pooh, if you hit a railroad crossing at 90 MPH and catch a few feet of air those rubber bands will disentigrate upon impact and you can forget about sneaking off the road and cutting through a cornfield to get past that 18 car pile up with those puppies

1/5/2013 last day for the 40% off coupon
diymirage replied to Gramps2u's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
they are the only place in town (though they are not what i consider MY LHS, that one is a 30 mile hike) and i buy more supplies there then anything else not too impressed with thier selection of kits, lots of the new re-issues but nothing that grabs my attention but i find it hard to believe they wont re-isue a new coupon once this one expires thats pretty much the way thier buisness model works without the coupon everything is overpriced -
the ones on my hemi ? out fellow member shucky http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32401&hl=turbo#entry323348 i dont know if he is offering them currently, the last run he made had such a large demand it wore out the molds

She Wolf
diymirage replied to Mercman's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
im just waiting for someone to identify her as thier mother in law is she scratch build ? (yes pun intended) -
its one of the few rims ive seen where they managed to update the rim to modern standards while maintaning the classic look on a side note, i got my rims mounted aswell this is the way the model sits mocked up, it might stil just a hair higher in the front once everything is in place but the jeste is there im thinking of building a DOH style push bar up front to complete the look
-
got the mill in today the longblock is soaking in ovencleaner to get the chrome off Roger, there are several good resin casters on here who make nice deep rims the daisies i have on mine i got from a fellow member, a second member hooked me up with some deep spyders and i also got a set of centerline

Love the rims Soren, homegrown?

Parts kits - what's your favorite?
diymirage replied to Jantrix's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
i have a few differnt kits that i only bought as donor kits most of those are bought with a specific build in mind and even than only if i could get a good deal on the donor kit the only i would say for sure belongs on this list is the AMT 70 superbee pro stock kit and not because it is not a good build up, but because it is the epidemy off pro street donor kit with a minumin off effort this chassis and rolling gear can be adapted to just about any model you want AND YOU GET A DOHC HEMI IN THE DEAL this is the only kit i will buy when i get a deal on it no mather how many there are in my stash -
what if you were to just run manifolds instead of headers?

after looking at the corvette i decided to keep the stok driveline in my 4-4-2 and enter a GTO later with the corvette runnings
