  1. Thanks guys !! I got the lamps painted and mounted, I like them a lot more this way, then chrome plated or gold. Seem to blend in better, not so bulky. I'm thinking about painting this piece from "the mummy" to look like an old cobble stone road, little display base for it.
  2. I know it's a very small scale, so I hope there is also. But how many people work for the auto industry that are real car people ? Not just business men/women ? That know what we want more then us.
  3. The long runners of the tunnel were used with the camshaft to tune the power and at a higher rpm, an ECM and injectors can that now. But even as far as carbs go, they didn't make that big of a difference over one and a good single plane after a wile.
  4. Nother small update, I got a little time to make the seat belt hardware, I know they are not true to scale. but it was fun and I think its adds to the empy office.
  5. I don't get the collectibility, if it's open to see, it's worth , if it's open and red, it's worth to a builder ... Why bother?
  6. I want to say my 455 went to a nipple in the coolant passage on the intake. ? Guess its been to long.
  7. If I was invited, I would probly drive them all..... And then say " enjoy your evening sir, here is your
  8. I have Dr. That's where I got no answer. I haven't been on there for a long time. I didn't even see anything from him on there. Just a little disappointed he isn't in the mag anymore if that's the case. I really like his style. The reason I got my first airbrush.
  9. My favorite impala !!! Gota love those 63s. I'm really liking you handle trick. I would have to go nose up my self. Nothing like riding with the rear dumped and the springs bouncing.
  10. If anyone reads airbrush action, have you noticed his absence? The last 4 or 5 I think I've got haven't had anything to do with him, he isn't even on the getaway schedule. I've asked at the coast airbrush forum but no response....never really do. Just wondering if anyone here knows.
  11. I have not my self, but if you do a search on the forum for "back to the future" or "Delorian" I believe someone used similar products on those. Seem to remember it looking very good and pretty scale as far as the finish, not shiny toy like at all
  12. The weapon trays are pretty slick too, reminds me of the rx7 under seat nos system in the first faf movie.
  13. I dont see why you cant make any engine fit and look right at home, That is a chevy engine replica. looks to be similar to the "ram jet" injetion system. Should make for a pretty nice street rod
  14. Thats not real fair Harry, Mustangs wernt that nice from the factory...
  15. What makes it so much better ? Is it because it's a better casting? That would be the manufacture right? Not the material? And even once it's cast and ready, was it not assembled by people? Or is it the fact that it's the five thousandth one just like it built that makes it of higher quality? It's a neat model, not my style but neat. I think those pocher kits you've talked about turn out better then that one.
  16. And thats why I havent really seen any OMG diecast models, I dont normaly go looking for stuff I cant obtain. I'm sure there is some crazy stuff from the other side of the pond as well. I have noticed that alot of the really nice stuff, and colletors stuff is 1:43 scale though.
  17. Great builds Dr., Where did the slingshot decal on the doors of the green one come from?
  18. Your not the only one, a lot of us haven't im sure, i know they are out there.
  19. Maybe he wasnt thinking about the "quality" at all, but stuck on the mind set that his model looks like something mass produced ? Kinda like some one looking at someones custom work, and saying " that looks factory".?
  20. Thats a slick truck, but I hardly think of "Beastly" when I hear 347, for the kind of money that was spent on that truck, why no supercharged mod motor?
  21. Like a BUNCH of work....holy cow... I sure hope they didnt chop 56 cabs to make 55s for the movie ..but hey, look what they did to Theron for the movie "Monster"
  22. I've been on the Hastings in my town for a few months now. the smaller book store said they are not interested in such titles. They do not carry the "other" mags also, so I dont think they would be. I've talked to the local independent hobby /RC store in town a few times. If you would like to pm me some contact info, I would gladly pass it on to him. Might be a good place to move 20 or so a month.
  23. I wonder what they are using to reduce them at an industrail grade like the manufacturing/ auto body level. Maybe it gives off an ammonia gas type of situation ???
