  1. Looks like they just bent the fenders down where it curves at the back part of the wheel well opening. It has a distinct bulge there.
  2. I feel your pain. It's no cooler or greener in Tn. either.
  3. It just looks big cause there's no rocker arms on the studs. By the way, you're using that new 3/4-inch race cam, right? lol
  4. Great looking car. I have a couple of them stored somewhere. I made Robo Cop cop cars out of them.
  5. Good looking car. Well done.
  6. No internet on my tv. Nope, can't track a fictious name or place or anything else like that. No rewards at my store that I know of. Even if they did hack it, they would only know someone enjoys building models as a hobby. And if you buy online, use a pre-paid debit card. Not attached to anything, so if they did hack that, they can't get anything and those don't require you name either, or a real name if you want to put one on it. There's always a way to get around the man if you want to. Just ask the serious one that get off the grid and stay off of it. Oh, and never give out your ssn either. No one needs to know that unless it's attached to taxes. If they insist, just make one up. If they don't catch that it's fake, that means it was never entered in any official way, so it was not tracked either.
  7. Well, I hated my breakfast burrito this morning. It had too many soggy potatoes at the bottom of it and not enough cheese, but the bacon ratio was pretty good, so not all was lost.
  8. It's china listening in to our brain waves and reprograming them and making us buy their cheap junk. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Welcome anytime. WE noticed it at work on day. Me and friend of mine was talking and his phone kept going off. It was listening to everythng we said and was sending him ads to buy things we were talking about. OMG moment. RIght.
  10. You have to turn the microphone off on the phone. That's what I did, but it limits other things your phone can do too. Your phone spys on you and so do the new smart tv's. Never hook those things up to the net. They also have a built-in camera in the tv too. There's a lot of stuff spying on us these days and most don't even know it. One more reason they want to get rid of china owned tik tok. You don't think they would spy on us do ya?
  11. Ice Man Collectibles is the one that I forgot the name to in the first post. He has the cheap lawn mower with engine and the weedeater with engine.
  12. And I thought I was the only one that sneaks stuff into the house. lol
  13. Good ones. I forgot about those. And they got that the minibike in one of the MPC Dodge truck kits too.
  14. I already spend to much at both stores. Lord Help Me if I ever get a job at either place, or worse a job at both. lol
  15. Leaf Blower — VCG Resins by Reese Check this one out. He has it in stock. Just leave the hose off of it and put a drive shaft or chain drive to your spreader.
  16. 1/64 1/43 Resin Figure Lawn Mower Man Life Scene Figures GK Model 3D Miniature Model Doll Unpainted DIY Toy (aliexpress.us) It's a guy pushing a mower. You could use the motor off the lawnmower. 3 inches under has his site and an ebay site. He did have a motor and pump made for transferring water for fire trucks. That had a pull rope motor on it. He had a chop saw that has more like an oversized chain saw motor on it. He also had a Jaws of Life tool and that requires a pull rope motor to run a hydraulic pump. It would take a while to search his sites. He has tons of stuff. Push Mower — VCG Resins by Reese Another push mower but it's sold out. Might contact him anyways. Someone else on ebay and he has a site too. Can't remember his name, but he had a push mower and a weed eater that he sells. Might do a search and see if any of those small engines will work for ya. Hope that helps point you in the right direction.
  17. LOL!! You know, I just could not resist. I will agree with one thing, I really hate to go to a car show and see a Ford anything cheap chebby engine in it. If you want chebby power, buy a chebby chassis to put it in . Oh, you can't, they all rusted into dust by now. tee hee. Sorry, could not help myself.
  18. HEMI, ... 'nough said. ? ?
  19. That's a winner. Looking good.
  20. Understood. And I agree, I don't do facebook anymore. Someone hacked my account. They asked for my dl and old credit card numbers and all sorts of stuff. Someone was sure trying to steal my identity. Must have thought I was stupid and would just turn over all that info. lol
  21. May be a stupid question, but why is the site going down?
  22. That looks awesome with all that chrome trim on it. Can't wait to see the finished project.
  23. I think the glossy paint depends on what it is. I see some of these models that have these high gloss paint jobs that you can see yourself in. That's great and they look awesome, but that was never a factory look if that's what you are going for. Even today's cars are not super glossy except in some cases like super cars. The see yourself like a mirror shine is great for a car show car that's never driven anywhere. Back in the day they spent the money on the engine and whatever it took to make it hook and go fast. I'd say most of them had the stock factory paint on them in most cases. A super glossy shine would not be right for that era I would not think. I guess if it was a team with factory support and they had deep pockets they may have gone the distance on a fancy paint job. I guess that's something to think about before you gloss it over. By the way, it looks great and love the pipe dumps on it.
  24. We're just ramblin and waiting on an update ourselves. lol?
