  2. Hi guys, some of you guys might know me as a truck guy, well I have a couple trucks that don't have beds that need something, so when in doubt build your 3rd tow truck. So post your tow trucks here and we can all drool.
  3. Thanks I hoped that it would turn out and it did.
  4. Thanks and I guess I do. Thanks Tom.
  5. Thanks Kevin, Grade school, thanks, probley if I can find a 1970 dodge fleetside D250 kit or resin, as for the duster almost definatley eventually. Thanks and to tell you the truth no idea my Dad gave me the engine from a box of models and parts that he found from when he built models as a kid.
  6. Thanks guys i know there not worth much but the Revell '69 superbee I debated over last time at the LHS for $15 and that was on Monday.
  7. Thanks guys when I seen them I almost freaked because I was going to buy the superbee at my LHS and deceided on something else. I was willing to pay the $5 a kit but thought heck I'll barter a little.
  8. I'm a kid myself. Your the guy was in his late 20's. Thanks Willy.
  9. Well I just came back from a yard sale where a guy had four kits for sale he wanted $5 for each and i talked him down to $0.50 each and walk away with: A Revell '69 dodge superbee opened but sealed inside. A AMT Dodge Viper GTS coupe, started and painted. A Revell Monogram Sting ray III, sealed on the outside (not for long ) And a AMT MacDonald's Racing Team Thunderbird, sealed (not for long )
  10. Guys it's ok I got him a mad mudder kit.
  11. Well I'm hoping to finish up today and get it cleared before my graduation trip.
  12. I'm planning on doing the truck and car from Smokey and the Bandit and that means I need a 1973 Kenworth W900 rig and a plain box trailer. Please help me out hoping to buy or trade but I doubt i have parts you guys could use besides Cb's and such.
  13. Well I've finished the rear assembley aswell as the front suspension assembley, I installed the old slant six I had after I tore it apart and fully rebuilt it. I also moded the exuast and poped it in. only suspension/ interior parts left are the front bench and driveshaft. Enjoy fellas.
  14. Well my daily drivers are my legs. I'm talking to a couple mechanic freinds of the family about some 88-98 chevy/ Gmc fullsizes they have that there not driving at all, one guy has a farm with a bunch of pick ups, in the summer I've been helping him work on a 1977 ford F-250 4x4, a 351modified using a 400 block bored out with holley and edelbrok parts and lifted 8 inches with 31'' boggers with a flat black paint job, and dechromed, I drove it around a little bit up there, All I can say is all the vehicles I've driven in the last 3 or so years that I've been driving it was one of the most fun . the second funnest truck to drive belongs to My uncle who has a big farm around here and has a 1978 chevy singlecab dually with a 454 out of a chevelle that he modified, also super fun to play around with in the feilds let me say one thing, goddamn it's fast , both are like driving a muscle car. I keep telling them to drag race each other but they never listen to me.
  15. My hobby shops kit supply is 99% AMt and 1% monogram, revell, and the others I can't remember at this time.
  16. Mike i can help I'll talk to you at school tommorow.
  17. Yeah that would be cool Kevin.
  18. Well found out some more about this car and a 1971 Plymouth Duster my Mom owned, She used to race dirt track around here and she raced a 1971 duster that she and my granfather and uncles cramed a 440 into, she also used to use my granfathers 70 dodge d-250 he had that he barely used, it aparantly had a 360 that my grandpa took from a fury and shoe horned into his truck. My mom used to haul her car on her car trailer down to the track every saturday night for the race. Man dusters and Mopars run in the family I guess.
  19. Thanks Buddy. I hope she does. Well I did a bit more.
  20. Thanks fopr the info Ed. I found out a little more about the old Duster, it was my great grandmother's and after she passed it was givin to my grandfather who had a chevy Impala at the time so he gave it to my grandmother who had a Plymouth Scamp at the time, my mom at the time had a tired old 1949 plymouth, so my grandfather gave her the car.
