Corvette.Jeff

pactra paints are my fav. i usually only spray the laquers during the summer months,and keep to enamles in the winter. plus i live in Texas,so that may be part of it,lol

id get a civic,theyre pretty fast and get about 20mpg in city. i too(even though im only 19) have been turning wrenches for forever. i used to have a corvette and didnt want to pay the shop bill so i learned how to fix it myself.

if your bathroom has a vent in it,you could always go spray your model real quick,then run it into the bathroom and turn on the vent. agter a few minutes itll be dry enough to harden the paint with a hair dryer(think homemade dehydrator) on low. then just take it to the man cave. if shes sensitive to paints(my dad is) just remember to spray some air freshener throughout the house. at least thats what i do,but i dont have to deal with snow like the rest of you guys. Jeff

I know how you feel, it was that way with my 'vette, its the same way when i go off roading in my dually.

always had a soft spot for these cars, i used to have a 83' 280zx turbo.

I cant say much, i dont have a single completed model in my house! wait! i have a few diecasts, soes that count?

Hey mark. I to met mine online. We knew each other for about 5 years before we decided to meet in person, we went through rock bottom with each other and both came out alive. We finally met in person last december, we had to solve a distance issue as well, shes from Maryland, and im from Texas. I remember the first time i brought her down here and showed her what a real texas drive way looks like, she thought it was a back road theres alot of really long lasting marriges here, i can only hope that mine will last that long

IM not sending you money for a kit gregg!! you never finish them!!! J/k bossman.

Thats when i got with my girl, the 4th is a good date the best date

Cool keep up the good work man.

As the anniversayr with my Girlfriend creeps closer, it just seems so unreal.....I know its nothing, but on the 4th we will of been together for a year. and living together for 5 months. How long have some of yall een with your significant other?? Or as we all know them, "The boss"

Dang Nick, she sure is coming along! ive got two MPC 1/16 kits waiting to be built, I, Like you, will probably modify them alot. To bad you couldnt get those snowflakes in a bigger size, then you could make the year one bandit. http://www.yearone.com/yodnn/Portals/1/Images/ban3ut2_535.jpg Are you going to use your black primer wiht alot of gloss clear paint on this build?? Jeff.

thats why i like the extended cab,when me and the gf go shopping i can just lift up the seat and put it all back there,or in the tool box(not on right now) its great to put stuff in there. i really dont trust my tailgate.

Im gonna drop the rear another 4" or so in a few weeks, then the fronts getting lowered even more Must.....touch.....the.....ground!!!! I also need to roll my fender lips.... its starting to get close up there. Nice ford, ive always wanted the 4 door version, slammed on bags of course Howd you get that paint so smooth???

a 1990 chevy 3500 dually wouldnt be considered a lead sled would it?

Duallys always look good layed out....but then again im biased

Thats a good idea, i thought about that kinda, but thought itd take out all the fun for him. 12 year olds and spray paint equal a happy kid imo. Those camaro kits are pretty nice, i built one a while back.

Hi all, next weekend me and my gf are going to do some early christmas shopping. I said that we should get each of her brothers a model kit, ones 12 and ones 19. i already kinda have a kit picked out for the older one. its just dalton(the younger one) im having trouble with. It has to be a kit that will keep his intrest, he was born with autism, he absolutley loves cars and anything of the sort. Ive helped him with a kit before in the past and we had alot of fun, it wasnt a car kit though, it was the human heart with blood that goes through it from lindberg. he gets pretty frustrated with small parts easy so i was thinking something big. but it cant be to hard of a model(ie. snap kit) I thought about getting him and me each a revell 1/8 t-bucket kit to build when he comes down, and getting him a few snap kits. but it all comes back to one thing, he has autism. and ive only ever been around two kids wiht it, he was one and the other wasnt even old enough to talk, so yea.lol Do yall think my ideas would be good? or should i scratch that and think of something else? i did think about those diecast kits that you get to put like the wheels and stuff on, but he would get very bored with that. either his mom or other sister would be watching over him while he did it as well. Another thing i thought about is a cheap set of testors detail paint and a chep hobby knife to help him out, then i was going to put it all in a box with simplified instructions(he has a hard time wiht reading stuff), have any of you had the honor of dealing with autistic kids? do you think it would be a good idea? Jeff.

so ami still up for a lead sled? and could someone explain to me what a lead sled is?

ah, i remember the rants and raves section, i guess we al lget treated as old as we act At least, thats what my mom always told me!

aint tht the truth!! someone needs to make a modelcarsmag forums facebook page.

when did yall have one harry????? i havent been around here that long, and when i am here,its not for very long!

on another forum i visit we have a chit chat or off topic forum, we also use it for general purposes. maybe we could do that to this one? especially since we ALL get off topic alot,lol Jeff

Gotta any shots of the frame work? Just trying to get some ideas, and see if ill need to cut the bed up.

i wanna bag the rear this upcoming summer, just gotta find bags thatll support tonka, lol
