Pretty nice parking lot there! That red Mercedes is amazing .. have never seen that one before.

That's a looker! Interesting rear deck brace. And, never knew the spare was in the engine compartment.

The only thing to think of is it has to be a substantial part of the frame and and a healthy looking bracket/attachment point. It that is a specific car you're asking about, sorry I can't help.

You may have outdone yourself on this one ... just don't say it's a 4 year old build! The header detail especially .. and that paint.. ! I'm just disappointed you didn't get wet with a low shot on the water.

Welcome and it's always a blast building something you own. Very nice looking MR-2 you have. That blue is beautiful.

Ditto all above .. build, presentation and photography are superb!

Welcome to the forum from Mike #3! Mike #2 gave some sound advice so all I can say is just find a kit that interests you and go to it. As you build, you'll find something you'd like to improve on and I'm sure help here will be easy to get. The main point is, ENJOY!

Salutes!

hahah,, drag racing a 928 ... how silly! (didn't mean you, Dave)

Looking good. I Like the job you did with the scoop.

That's for sure! There was a local 928 that was ALWAYS in the shop when I was there for routine maintenance. They seemed to have to strip half the car apart just for simple parts installment. NOTHING was easily accessible. When they were running, though, they were one of the best Porches ever made. This was the first Porsche ever designed from a clean sheet of paper at the time.

Ahhh. a RED 928! The interior looks really good. I had 5 944's, so does that count as 2.5 928's?

You just can't go back and change a whole game because of a bad call. It's not the first time and won't be the last. It's not just allowing the perfect game, the while game changes from the point that out would become true. It is becoming a technology problem when the technology can prove if a call was correct or not. It should be used just like is being done in other sports where it can eliminate human errors. I really like the idea of an electronic strike zone ... this has been a sore spot in baseball since the beginnings as far as I'm concerned. And, just to keep it on topic, how bout those Vettes??

I was a Launcher operator for a nuclear warhead missile during my time in the Army, the Pershing Missile. I'm not sure what you have in mind, but this was a two-stage missile, but it was still just a 3' diameter, 35' long pointed tube. The interesting part of the system was the tracked vehicles the missile system was mounted on. They were blown Chrysler powered versions of the Army Personal Carrier with aluminum bodies and configured more like a pickup to carry the modules for the missile system. Yeah, I've done a conversion: This is one setup in firing position, but it had been gregariously painted for show. The real ones were OD with flat black warhead. Nuclear warheads were not fired off a low range missiles, ie. small. The Pershing was based off the Redstone Missile that put satellites into space. You DON'T want to drop one of these rounds anywhere close to you! The warhead itself looked like any other conventional warhead. There's nothing of any external difference to distinguish it. In our case, during the 60's, we used dummy warheads to practice and the real ones were painted flat black as opposed to olive drab everything else. Also, the vehicles in out unit had NO typical markings, just a single battery number and a colored dot on the bumpers ... my battery had a red dot. That was like driving around with NO license plates. Hope this gives you something to think on. Let me know if any of this is in line with you're looking for and I can dig out the unclassified photos.

I like the look in plain green

Some wonderful touches! .. most all mentioned above ...

I thought just reversing the same type hinge would change the door swing. I'd like seeing your solution. ... and Customizer has earned that name as far as I've seen! What beautiful work you've been treating us all to!

Good idea, Harry! We'll be needing some Rat-Hudsons!

with all the photos you've been posting of the Farm, it looks like you exceeded Photobucket's bandwidth. Will have to check again after the first.

I've hit it once or twice. It just pops up a small window to type in without all thread showing.

Simply beautiful job! That interior shot is as good as the build is.

great looking build! I do admit the engine LOOKS good.

I was sad when they killed Kaiser

interesting photo set, Nick.

That paint loves that body! The headlight treatment looks right .. and the cleanliness of the whole build looks right too!
