  1. No, no problem at all !!! Lol Great save on the hood. Really keeps it all flowing.
  2. Its not "Under Glass" yet, I know that. But you mentioned waiting untill it was finished to post the progress, I dont know why anyone would post the progress after it was posted under glass,if it was posted it there that is. Thats all, just askin
  3. How can anyone offer advise on something thats already done, and why would anyone post something on the bench if its finished and under glass?
  4. Didn't some guy just announce he was going to build a full scale replica and recreate the trip across the Atlantic. Not quite sure I understand why ??? How many more ocean liners do we need? Never mind, just noticed Skips link.
  5. It looks that way because your on the other side of the world, Great build man, The only thing I don't like about this body style is that the cab lines are so much taller then the bed rails. But your chop sure helps hide that a little.
  6. I like the circuit boards, I haven't seen those before. You could do a lot of background filler with those.
  7. It's wired you guys say that, growing up in Washington, that stuff was and is everywhere here. It doesn't seem very nostalgic, but I guess it's been 20 years or so hadn't it. Man time flys !!!
  8. Im only 32, so I didn't think I had a lot to feel nostalgic about. But after reading this I got to thinking, every time I happen to see ( doesn't happen much anymore) a car setting on 13" wires or one that happens to be "juiced" (hydraulics) it takes me back to the mid 90's when I was in jr high and highschool. I was so into the low rider scene I could taste it back then. I don't know if I grew out of it or away from the people. But it still gets me excited when I hear a set of "a" arms clapping !!!
  9. Just like a decal Harry, the vinal "sticker" wont set the adhesive untill the water is evaporated...so you have a short window to move it around and place it. On a side note, what brand and model of plotter do you have Mark? I would like to get one for airbrush work. But all I get from the sign shops is info on big industrial models. Great looking wheels and tires, even for the age that chrome SHINES !!!
  10. Thats clearly not a factory stock vehicle, so why leave the center section that horrid brown primer ??? why not just paint it to match the rest of the suspension, or even the body color if you want it to stand out.
  11. The centers were painted before they were ever loaded with gears I would have to say. When you have a large production going its just easier to have the parts that are ready to assemble to meat a perticular order VS.units already built and hope they will sell. Just paint it in a cast aluminum metalizer and call it good.
  12. Really? Is that the rule? Man do I feel dumb.
  13. I think it's a way to tell the story of what's been done to it, center section swap out, lost it in a race last weekend. That kind of thing.
  14. My 57 and 58 ford pickups have an aftermarket signal controller strapped to the colum, looks goofy. My 64 falcon has it in the colum with the cancel cam. Does anyone know when horns were made mandatory? Neither pickup has them that are factory.
  15. That's what is cool about the Romeo plat form the dart is built on. It can be set up as fwd, rwd, or awd at the factory. Pretty smart I think, for up comming models they may want to release.
  16. Go with the Camaro, nothin can beat a small block Chevy on a budget. More bang for your buck. Tunnel ram on a "stroked" small block. Go for it man !!! Can't wait to se what you pick and build. These kinds of builds are fun to see. You can really tell a story with a trailer and tow rig.
  17. Hold on, Are we talking about the "Cuda" coming back or the "Barracuda" comming back as an SRT brand car ? Allpar has some stuff about the Barracuda coming on an Alfa Romeo platform, but I dont see anything on the Cuda. Either way, I dont see another V8 car comming around. Other then very limited #s.
  18. If I remember right, they were talking about a car like the viper but with a V8. Maybe this will be it. I think it will be pointless to have another V8 two door car. They havent had so much luck with the 6.2 Challenger. I think that market fuzzed out when the Challenger first came out...not to many more looking to buy. Dont get me wrong, who wouldnt want one. But not much use with three little ones and a 50 mile commute to work.
  19. Thats right, I just realized that after I posted it.
  20. Is this you your revell entry Andy? Nice Job !!!
  21. This is my best so far. #4 of my long (so my wife says) line of models to finish. I was able to incorperate a little of everything I've learned so far from this site and the magazines I've been able to get the last few years. I'm not very fast.
  22. not sure about the truespokes and white walls...but neat midget
  23. How are you going to rig a motor stop to keep the cam from running back to center? Or are you counting on running the motors one direction only?
