  1. Snakes and sparklers man, snakes and sparklers. You can't please everyone, awesome job !!!
  2. Yeah, I think the popular vote thing is the wrong way to go. They should have had a dead line to submit a picture to revell and then posed them for voting anonymously
  3. Man, that's something else !!! Awesome .
  4. Thennn.. Why are you trying to fix and internal noise with tune up parts? Does it run bad ?
  5. That thing paints so many story's, I can hear the phone call "man you gota check this truck out, back off rd 18 behind the barn, it's...." Or, the conversation going on in his head about how great it was to ride in the back when he was little and grandpa was chugging down the back road from the fishin pond. Awesome job !!!! I love these
  6. Those ring tones never get old. I think it would make for a better car alarm tone. A very explicit one !!!!
  7. Great info, bad news is I guess I need to start stocking different supplys now. Thanks a bunch.
  8. My self, I end up out of town for a few days about once a month also. A wile back I picked up a silver metal box at Walmart in the make up department for my pin striping stuff, because it looks just like an old painters box ( I found that funny that it was for wemons make up.... My wife didn't though ) , with drawers hinges on each side of the lids.and dividers. I picked up another that I can load up and toss in the car with me. I can't do a lot of painting in a hotel room, but plenty of other prep work or finishing work.
  9. I've been using wrapping wire from radio shack for my 1/24 stuff, but what's a good source for 1/16 plug wire ?
  10. Every great racecar deserves a firery ending after a crash into the wall .... Then vodka
  11. Come to think of it, (though not a car) my 08 rinell has a carb on a 4.3, I thought that was kinda weird when I bought it. But then again it's either at idle or 3 grand. Not much need for a wide transition range.
  12. When did the last Mexican beattle role out ? How cool would it be to get one of those up here, 1960 with that new car smell lol
  13. I would say 8/9' at least. From the frame up Please tell me your building one !!! That thing is awesome. Loved it in the movie.
  14. I've only " built " 4 models, but I have a hand full of 32 fords and 40/41 willys. I guess that's a car preference more so then kit.
  15. If all else fails, I just got one of these off eBay, half started, it still has the insert in the trunk opening. if you want, you could use it and fill in the gaps. I may have to do the same thing with the door inserts, as the original owner seems to have lost one of the inner door panels. Let me know, it's all yours if you want to try. Great job so far, I can't wait to tear into mine.
  16. That could be REALY fast if he put some money into the rear suspension.
  17. Ahh, or does it? Only if that's what he wants the most... Whys the rum gone !!!
  18. Not to undermind your capabilities, but your far better off with something from the factory with 100k miles on it, then something you have pieced together, unless your going full modified. Any reputable wrecking yard will have compression #'s as well as the vehicle milage it came from, if its a pull your own type of place...Go for the crunched vehicles....at least you know they were moving, I laugh when people tell me they got a "tranny" from this cherry caravan, looked like it had been garaged all its life, what a score !!!!......hmmm, why was it in the bone yard I wonder ???
  19. I think they are running out of American target buyers and will be trying to go over seas, they have a lot to compete with. Same with the viper.
  20. What self respecting pirate would be caught with out one ???
  21. I've seen the coke t before, but the rest are just as amazing , I love the c cab
  22. I understand how some can use it to keep in touch, I don't under stand whey some feel the need to be in constant contact. People look at me funny when I say, " everyone on face book has an email address, can't sign up with out one" "so.... Why was it so hard to communicate before? And how close of friends are we if people can get so far apart as to have no other way of contact besides Facebook/MySpace? " Sorry, a little rant came over me.
  23. Really? The letter I got was of any revell or monogram from any year. You really think they would accept a competitors ? That would be cool concidering the only revell kit I have complete is the one from the muscle car contest
