  1. roasted pork pad thai , spring rolls , soup and iced tea .
  2. Those look great Tim , did you ever do a build up article on the pale green 32 ?
  3. looking good , your eye for detail is of the chart , and some red , just in time for Halloween !
  4. Lemon pepper talapia , crawfish cakes , baked potato and cole slaw . Big glass of iced tea .
  5. Nice , I really like that color .
  6. This could be Dodges answer to Junior Johnson's 66 Banana Ford stock car .
  7. At $49 for 1 oz. of material ( 1 oz. base coat , 1 oz. easy chrome ) , that's pretty steep . The video looks fantastic , but what he has in that little cup would be a couple hundred dollars , and that's at the "sale" price . Hope the price drops , so normal people could afford it .
  8. It's a little switcher from Bachman , I have several , it is the drive system for the box cab . I usually buy these on sale , I think I paid $26 a piece for them . I watch Trainworld for sales and pick up things I can convert to On30 engines or cars . I bought 5 powered Alco B units for $20 each , it cost $82 to convert one to sound , so I have just over $100 in a sound engine I can build a body for . The last order I picked up 2 Alco FA2s and an RS3 with sound for $99 each and 2 Plymouth Industrial engines with sound and a remote for $49 each . So I'm good for projects for a while .
  9. I really like the style of these , but I think start thinking about everyday use , how do they land with all that hanging underneath and if the don't , how did they get the luggage on top of the car ? And how do they unload it ? It looks similar to steampunk , but further out there .
  10. I saw those and started making my own , On30 scale that is . This is "Tiny" , this is "Buster"
  11. Jesus , you have a fine eye . They all look great .
  12. My wife drives a black 04 Crown Vic LX Sport ( Ford version of the Maurader with less power ) , bought it in 06 with 28,000 on it . It has 175,000 now and looks just as good as when we bought it ( she takes very good care of her car ) . Rides great , gets good gas mileage ( 23 on the road / 19 in town ) , very reliable and scares speeding drivers who run up on us in traffic .
  13. The listing must have ended , I just looked at the first couple of pages .
  14. Yep , I have a bad case of fumblitis , I have a grocery store style apron tacked to my bench , about 3' wide . I hook the top over my head when I sit down and it catches 99% of what I drop .
  15. E-bay , GOTRB , just saw one listed for over $150.
  16. I see what you mean about the rocker , here's a shot showing , the areas of interest , You can see the angle on the upper quarter panel , the angle of the lower quarter and the rocker shape .
  17. Sorry , was out of town for a few days being chased by a hurricane . Wife and I went to Cedar Key for a little R&R. Looking at the new pics of the rear end ,did you push the tail panel back out a little , they don't look the same . Definitely need to add more angle to the lower quarter below the bumper . The lowering of the bottoms of the rear window area is subtle and looks good . When you say ,the arch around the wheel openings , are you talking about the trim around the wheel opening or the actual body shape ? This is looking good .
  18. I'm guilty of buying new printers when the ink runs out . I can replace it with a newer model for less than the cost of the ink cartridges . I usually buy the same brand and just swap out the cartridges , save the printer in case mine dies . I've also learned to refill my own cartridges .
  19. I know your pain , my son totaled his car about 25 years ago when he was 17 . The feeling , seeing your child in that condition , is almost unbearable . You and your son are in our prayers for a complete and short recovery .
  20. After looking at the video , it looks like you mix your 2:1 , is that close ?
  21. That's a really nice coupe , the best from that kit ( I have several ) I've ever seen . What's the chance of you giving us a tutorial on your painting process ? Your cars are always beautifully painted .
  22. Wow , with all the open space , they better pray for no fires .
