HUH????

When my wife and I got home from our honeymoon (5 years ago in aug) I sat down at our dinning room table and announced I was going to build a model car. And she Looked at me with confusion in her eyes (because up to this point she didnt know I built models) and said " you mean the little plastic TOY cars like jerry builds" (Jerry is her sisters husband who is a novice builder) I said "well yes and no baby I dont just build them and put em on shelves though. Just watch and please be patient". So she agreed. At first she didnt want to have any part in what I was doing but as i built she started to come over to my table and make small suggestions ie. "you should make those Lambo doors" and i would say "Hey great Idea baby!" then I would do it. Or she would say" why dont you paint it gold?" So I did. One day during the course of the build I had to go to the LHS to get more supplys and the new wife went with me and when I got to the counter with my arm full of what nots the cashier said That'll be 52 big one's and before I could pull out my wallet wifey said "I got this baby". The cashiers jaw hit the counter and I fell deeper in love. To this day my wife has been supportive of my builds and has travelled with me to shows and contest all over. And she loves take pictures as I build she has become my official photographer. oh what car did she help me build you ask? (ok maybe you didnt ask but im gonna show you anyway) And she always says this is her creation. This one.....

Somebody please put up somemore screen shots as i will probably never see the actual movie!

It's a done deal!

Check out the towel placed on moms lap to keep from showing too much skin LOL! gotta love and respect the old movies.

WOW ! Looks like I was put infront of the firing squad LOL! OK Im guilty of doing exactly what Harry is talking about. Wont happen again. Question: is there any way that I can delete an entire thread?

Hey fellas I know its been a fews days sence Ive made an update , but with the camera down and the soldering iron kicking the bucket I didnt have much to do. But I decieded to get some work done on the body and start the motor. so heres a few pics to get the show back on the road. heres the motor pieces , not sure how many of them I will actually be using but its a start. lol i burned the corner of my engine block with my soldering gun, also took out two fingers at the same time LOL! these are the rims that forum memeber Micro Nitro is turning for me. Stay tuned for more to come ...................

Thx go out to Brandon and Mike for your kind words

I dont know about this one, I'd have to see it in action. I like to let my paints naturally gas out. but in theory I guess it could work. But on your next how to treat us to some photos and step by steps. Thx for sharing your ideas.

Nice idea and execution for the slick Derrick, I think the wiring harness is just a tad outta scale though. Anyway it goes its a bang up job!

You have a sickness Joe and i knew you had it from the first time read this thread. Youve got detailidous, theres only one known cure but most guys who get this illness refuse to take it because it involves a sewing kit and pink frilley things. LOL! Keep up the good work Joe and that window and grating looks fantastic!

Yeah im gonna build a mainline setup that twist and turns it's way through the intire room . this 6X15 takes up way too much space. Man! i got too many irons on the fire LOL!
