Pssh, the Homer is the best vehicle ever...the horn only plays La Cucaracha and the kids won't bother you due to the separate bubble. However, it doesn't have rack and peanut steering.

Sure the owner may be happy, but people have the right to say that it looks like a pile of poo.

Can't believe that this is still being debated. I prefer the separation of cars and trucks, since I barely build cars and would rather just look at all trucks. Seems to be working out fine the way it is, and if there is a separate under glass added for trucks, then it would be perfect IMO. Edit: Even though Johnny was a bit direct, he is correct. You wouldn't put the Subaru Brat or Dodge Rampage with the trucks, even though they have a pickup bed.

It's a joke based on the movie Speed, where the bad guy is a cop who got a gold watch for a retirement gift and used it in a bomb to blow up a bus.

Quick question, do you have a grudge against Keanu Reeves and/or city buses that speed?

I'll be gone all next week, so probably no updates from me for a few weeks. I will say that I have a delivery coming that will make this build just that much cooler...

Here's the link, just click the button that says "add to chrome" and you should be set.

It's free, just let me know which browser you have and I'll snag you the link.

Since you mentioned the Shockwave Crashed message, I'm assuming you have Chrome (if you have Firefox, this will work as well). Get adblock plus for your browser. You can tell it to keep ads on certain sites (especially ones that use them for revenue), but it will help get rid of the stupid video ads that cause the problems.

PB has an option to set a certain photo size for your uploads, and it will stay at the same size until you change it. Mine is set at 800x600, since that seems like a good size for forums. It's actually simple to do. 1) Click on the green "upload button" 2) Above where you choose the folder that the pics go to, click on "customize your upload options" 3) A box will pop up with a bunch of different sizes, choose the one that you want 4) Click "save" and upload your pictures.

Yeah I figure as much, I guess it's just the way they modeled it that it looks like two tanks. All the pictures I find though have the shields and driveshaft in the way, so I wasn't positive though.

Thanks Dave, I suppose they would have made it just a single tank for easier placement so I'm going to assume it is for my build.

I would but I have plenty of pics, just need some clarification on a few things. Plus General gets more traffic.

Yeah you can either use the USB cable and turn on the camera, which will open the folder that the pics are in, or you if you have a SD card reader on your laptop (you should, mine is 6 years old and has one) you can just pull out the SD card and put it in the reader, and it will be found under My Computer.

Hey, I'm building the 1/12 GT500 and have some questions about the Mustang that I hope may be answered. 1) What is mounted to the bottom of the spare tire well? 2) Is the fuel tank mounted in front of the axle one large tank, or two separate tanks? 3) What are the four lines running along the driver's side frame rail? I know there is brakes and fuel line, but how many of each and what other lines would there be? Thanks, if I think of more, I'll ask them.

It's probably a limitation with the forum software, in order to reduce the amount of bandwidth for the main forum pages. It does work when you go into your profile, however they must not allow the gifs to move on the main page.

It's not a bad kit by any stretch, I hear from others who built it that it practically falls together, and I agree for the parts that I've kept kit stock. I just can't stand having a kit at this scale and having not only a static suspension, but static steering as well.

Well got some more done. Chassis painted satin black and Ford Sunburst Gold Metallic, along with silver details and foiled heat shields. Added the chassis portion of the axle stabilizer bar, as well as extended the bracket for the stabilizer bar itself. Made my own lower control arms using the centers from the kit and scratchbuilt ends. Axle with lower control arm brackets added. Still have to add the stabilizer bar bracket and shock absorber brackets.

Dunno about from photo sharing sites, but it says you can upload a gif from your computer.

I know you already have the kit and maybe don't want to pay for something else, but I'd suggest a set of big and little (19" & 23") Pegasus wheels, since they'd be better quality and IMO would look much better, plus they come with good tires. You could then either try to fit the diecast's brakes, or get a set of Pegasus disc brakes.

Hmm dunno then, when I go in it's not checked at all.

Try clearing your browser cookies/cache (if you don't know how, just do a google search for it), it may be an issue of you clicking it before and it's staying that way due to the browser cache.

What sort of parts were you looking for that you decided to turn to a DUB kit?

Yeah, I would also think that it's just printed on. I'm guessing they decided to detail it like an actual signed copy, but of course "dubbed" out. If it were collectable, there would most likely be a plaque or card in the box that says so.

Follow the steps I gave and you should have no problem.
