Welcome travis, I also am a younger builder 14 in november, if you need some parts or have a question contact me I might just be able to help. Ah a man after my own heart a young truck builder, if you need a truck or too i might be able to work something out to let one of mine slip away.

Nice pickup, I love the color, what company makes that color and whats it called?

Crazyjim- Well jim to answer your question yes and no. Yes I'm still casting, but only for myself and through request by pm or email. And no for the pictures but If it's a am 409 I have finned and smooth valve covers for it. Steven Zimmerman- your fully right so I'm going to be the bigger man and have harry lock this topic. LDO- here's the last that I'll be speaking to you, I said i'm no longer going to Sell it. So then it's NO longer a Buisness. well you know what yes it's in a public forum but you would think that people would have the decentsee to just leave it alone, yes i'm directing this towards you.

Thank you. For your god ###### information 90% of the time I give the resin parts away so you sir are a jerk for well just being a jerk, I hate people like you who just have to stick there nose into other people's choices.

you know what you are truly just a very annoying nucense, if you have nothing better to do than take your foot and crush someones ambitions. I do it not for the money but for the happiness that it brings to me and other builders when they can customize or change the opperance of there model and build out of the box something that they will find joy in. the only reason that i don't just give away the parts is that the resin and silicone used to mold and cast the parts isn't free.

Well I'm giving this up after some input from a member on here and many harsh words from that member. I'm still going to cast some stuff but only for myself and friends, but if you like something or are wondering what I cast i'm just going to do it as a simple VERY LOW PROFILE buisness or for trades.

I would go for some send me a Pm or an email at nick_12_cool@hotmail.com, with the info.

I don't even have a license and I got. Your Grade: B 83% You Passed with an Above Average Score Edit Forgot to add the score I got, Duh.

I've got a hundred more straight from the movies.

LOL ,Here are some from the second cannonball run, And now, the Rigatonis, the Tortellinis, the Fettuchinis, and even the Raviolis are bigger than we are. And why? High interest rates. Acid rain. Japanese imports. Uh... uh... none of the above. No. No. No. Youse mugs already know the answer. Gee, boss, if I knew there was gonna be a test, I would've studied. [in unison] J.J. That son of a *itch! while Terry and Mel try to get a car from Cal, the chimp plays with the phone] Stop it, boy! I told you not to play with the phone! [Cal hangs up the phone] Dam chimp costs me three hundred a month in wrong numbers. [the chimp starts throwing things at Cal] Hey! Stop it, you primate! That's it, I've had it with you! 'Scuse me, boys. I need to teach this boy some manners. Hey, son. [Cal hits the chimp with his hat. The chimp hits him back and knocks him across the room] Now you stepped in it. [to Mel and Terry] Boys, I got one condition on your needs. I'm gonna give you the limo, but only if you take this hairy son of a bitch with you! Okay, you'll tell us. We're gonna race to Connecticut and the one that wins gets a million dollars in cash. Only a moron would back up a race like that! [the Shiek enters] Ah, Fenderbaum and Blake. Good to see you! You should be sleeping at this hour. Remember, we leave at noon tomorrow. [Fenderbaum directs the Shiek's attention to the Cannelonis] Wingtips? Barbarians! Come, come! [the Shiek hands Caesar a handful of money] Buy yourself a decent clothing store. Infidels! [the Shiek leaves] That was the moron. You know, these liars could be telling the truth. Don't you worry, 'cause you know what I'm gonna do? What? I'm gonna take this car, and I'm gonna turn so that I block the whole highway sideways. And when they come, they're gonna have a choice, either to ditch it, or ram right straight into us. Yeah. Yeah. Ditch it or... ram STRAIGHT INTO US? Yup. We've put our heads together, and we've decided we're gonna rip off the Arab, on the road, during the car race. Oh, you put your heads together, huh? IT MUST'VE SOUNDED LIKE A BOWLING ALLEY. Is the Blimp driving? No, it's the General. The General? Oh, I'm gonna make a private outta him. We're gonna die. We're gonna die, we're gonna die. What do you think they're gonna do to us? I don't know what they're gonna do to you, but since Mr. T ain't here, I'll be too busy licking their boots to see. What are you boys trying to pull? There's been a nuclear meltdown and we're transporting some contaminated materials to Connecticut. Well, why Connecticut? They ran out.

Thought so just working on finding some good quotes from the second cannonball run.

Yeah well I came across that a few years ago, Well they were very good friends for years. Anytime. LOL, Not to correct you but is this what you meant. What in the hell was that? Oh, that must've been the entry of the National Safety Council. Here's some more memorable quotes. Why'd he call me Shorty? 'Cause you're small. Small. S - M - all. How long before we stop? Eight hours! Da-D-######! I gotta go to the john! What's Dr. Gay do? He's my shrink. He was committed yesterday. Why? He was smoking bananas. He gets very upset when he talks to 'Him'. So do I! Isn't that J.J. McClure? He's nothing. Don't worry about him. It's the Blimp next to him! The Blimp! When he puts on that mask, he'll blow your Goddam doors off! Well, how do you all feel now you have raped the American highways? Beautiful! Thanks to you, Victor, we do not have a female patient in the back. Thanks to your wonderful cousin Tessie. Well, it's not my fault that she didn't fit in the stretcher! She doesn't fit in the AMBULANCE! [J.J. and Victor are pulled over by two priests in a red Ferrari] Nice car, Father! Thank you, azzhole. [batman tries to beat up a biker] Hold it! You'll never last five minutes in a New York Subway [Mad Dog whacks the biker across the knee with a board and then on the back, knocking him down] Now *that?s* the way it's done! [Fenderbaum and Blake's Ferrari drives alongside J.J.'s ambulance] Pull over! We want to give you our blessing! J.J., there are two priests in that car. They want us to pull over. Victor, that's two priests driving a Ferrari. When's the last time you saw two priests drive a Ferrari? What are they doing, taking home the bingo money? No, they're doing the work of the Lord. In a Ferrari, they can just do it faster. Thank you, Father. Why don't you take that piece of ###### back to the junkyard? [laughs and drives away] If we were Methodists we'd have a good shot at gettin' laid Those are just from the first cannonball run, there plenty more from the second that I'll post later. Enjoy, Nick

Well i didn't find a Car I have but I'll be the quite guy who gives up quotes and such. But i have one thing to say to the participants "You are certainly the most distinguished group of highway scofflaws and degenerates ever gathered together in one place".

Ok well I'll take a look and see what one i have and can do.

You guys have me watching this movie and the second cannonball run every couple days. Here's some trivia guys, Don Rickles was originally cast as Fenderbaum before the part went to Sammy Davis Jr.. The ambulance used in the movie is the actual ambulance that Hal Needham and Brock Yates souped up and raced in the real Cannonball Run. It had been modified with a HEMI engine that made it go up to 145 mph and was equipped with four gas filler holes so that the required 90 gallons could be pumped quickly. Needham and Yates didn't actually win the race (the transmission blew in Palm Springs) so Needham kept it in storage for several years until the time came to make this film. After the movie, he gave it to a church charity which raised a good deal of money auctioning it off. This movie was based on a series of real races started by Brock Yates of "Car & Driver" magazine. The fifth and final race was in 1978. Yates and Hal Needham actually entered the ambulance seen in the film. They had a doctor on board and Yates' wife Pamela as a patient. It blew its transmission in Palm Springs, California, and arrived in Long Beach on the back of a flatbed truck. A lot of the other vehicles were actual entries in that race. The producers asked the governor of Georgia if the crew could shut down the center of a small town so that a plane could land in the middle of it. The police blocked off the section that the plane was to land in and a barrier can be seen in the background. The Ferrari 308 used in the movie belonged to director Hal Needham. Roger Moore has a different girlfriend every time we see him in this movie and they are all voiced by June Foray (uncredited). The first highway patrolman that pulls over Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman was Burt Reynolds' stand-in (note the resemblance). Director Cameo: [Hal Needham] Man in back of ambulance. Cameo: [brock Yates] [the film's writer appears as the organizer of the race.] Jackie Chan, who played a small role in this movie, was very upset when he learned his character was Japanese since he himself is Chinese. In one of the earlier scenes in the movie, Burt Reynolds's character says "Could get a black Trans Am", and then answers himself, "Naw, that's been done." This is a reference to Smokey and the Bandit (1977) which starred Reynolds, and was directed by Hal Needham, who directed this film. DeLuise co-starred with Reynolds in the 1980 sequel, Smokey and the Bandit II (1980). Victor (Dom DeLuise) tells J.J. (Burt Reynolds) that it is a good thing they have a doctor on board in case someone gets "swamp fever". This is a reference to Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) where Dom played a doctor Burt picks up. He was treating a patient for swamp fever. Stuntwoman Heidi Von Beltz was crippled in a stunt when the stunt car she was riding in (doubling an Aston-Martin driven by Roger Moore in the race) lost control and crashed on the second take of the stunt. The driver and another stunt person in the car received minor injuries, but Heidi was left a paraplegic. There are numerous James Bond references throughout the film, resulting in a rumor that Albert R. Broccoli had Roger Moore sign a contract which forbid him to spoof or make references to the James Bond character in any other non-Bond film. The movie was originally planned as an action film starring Steve McQueen. After McQueen's death, the lead went to Burt Reynolds and the film became a comedy. To get material for this movie, Brock Yates ran the final Cannonball in 1978. The move cost him his editorial position at Car and Driver magazine which has since been reinstated. At the end of the movie, during the big race to the finish, a black Trans Am appears. The driver of the car is seen in the foot race scene and Captain Chaos's dressing down scene. The driver is wearing the Bandit's jacket worn by Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit II (1980). The short sequence in the beginning of the film which involves two animated cars wrecking the 20th Century Fox logo was created by Hal Needham, who did a similar one for another studio when releasing Smokey and the Bandit (1977). At first, Fox didn't appreciate the notion of wrecking their logo, but soon found it would be appealing to audiences if it were left in. Dom DeLuise's character, Victor Prinzi, is named after Vic Prinzi, a friend and former college football teammate of Burt Reynolds at Florida State University. Reynolds played halfback at FSU before an injury forced him out of football, and Prinzi was the quarterback. Ron Rice, owner of Hawaiian Tropic, loaned his black Lamborghini to his buddies Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham. The same Lamborghini can be briefly seen in the background at the party of Big and Little Enos Burdette near the end of Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983). The license plate number of the 1964 silver birch Aston Martin DB5 driven by Roger Moore in the film was 6633PP. The car was made famous by the Sean Connery James Bond movies Goldfinger (1964) and then Thunderball (1965) with later models appearing in subsequent Bond pictures. However, Roger Moore who played James Bond seven times never drove an Aston Martin in a Bond film and this is his only on-screen appearance with the most famous of all James Bond cars. George Furth's character (Arthur J. Foyt) was named as an tribute to IndyCar and NASCAR legend Anthony Joseph Foyt Jr. (a.k.a. A.J. Foyt). The front shots of the ambulance driving down the road were some of the last to be filmed. In what Hal Needham referred to as "poorman's process" they were filmed in a garage with crewmen rocking the vehicle back and forth. The scene in the rain was filmed by simply spraying water on the windshield. Filmed in 36 days. Director Hal Needham and producer Albert S. Ruddy liked the chemistry of Terry Bradshaw and Mel Tillis so much that after this film they tried to sell a pilot to ABC featuring their characters. The head of the network loved the idea but the day before the meeting was to be held to discuss it, the head of the network was fired and the project was canceled. Director Hal Needham shows up in the film four times. First as the EMT in the back of the ambulance, then as the voice of the cop in the speed trap ("Remember when we use to chase speeders"), then as the truck driver who calls Roger Moore on the CB and finally at the very end of the bloopers. The Hawaiian Tropic NASCAR racer is apparently inspired by the very real "Fire-Am" entered in the real race by F Gregory and P Brennan. The Fire-Am had previously been run at the Daytona 24 hour race and the owner had just stripped the numbers off the doors and loaned it to the cannonballers in full race drag. As Gregory put it: "one look at the Fire-Am and any cop would know we were up to no good". Burt Reynolds received a then-record $5 million salary for his work on the film, which took three weeks.

Oh ok, glad they made it.

Ok glad it made it there. get on it man.

Thanks. Well I used some stuff I found in a box I had. They are, I had lots of fun with this one. What ones have you built?

pictures continued.

Well I finished Up My dodge, added lincense plates, and dropped in a 426 Hemi engine, making close to 400HP, so this puppy is ready to shake windows and scare the elderly. pictures continued in next post.

Well it came a long way in just 12 days.

Ok well today I cleared my workbench, I finished my dodge street truck, my GMC cyclone and my superbee. All I need to do is pop the wheels on in a few days when they get here. I would like to Thank a few Guys before We carry on, My dad for stopping at a yard sale to buy me this kit, Mustang3.8 (Kevin) for the wheels, and last but certainly not least kustommodels88 (Brandon) for the valve covers. Oh and my Grandfather for giving me the can of Forest green rattle can paint and the flame red rattle can. Thanks guys. Now get building.
