  1. Man that is criminally stupid!I thought those bolts had the castle nuts with the cotter pins so they can't loosen and fall out!They are critical for safety!
  2. Awesome!I really like the way Ford styled the rear valance panel and tail lights!
  3. Year one has new quarters for it
  4. Hey sky,who would go to your office and smash your models?Was it a home office or at work?
  5. Very clean and realistic build.
  6. By removing the fan you opened up much more room than stock.Did you use a flush mount cooling fan?
  7. You kind of cheated by removing the belt driven fan and went with a flush mount electric one.
  8. One of GM's best designs!Looks great!
  9. Yes and all those plastic covers look cool but it must be a pain to work on them.
  10. We had a '66 Buick Le Sabre when I was a kid that had a huge trunk!You could put a 26"bike in the trunk and it had a full size spare!
  11. The '66 has the bar type tail lights the '65 has the round Corvette type.Best way to tell them apart!
  12. I was at a local car show yesterday and a guy had a nice mint green '65 Chevy hard top.Despite the BB 396 installed,it still had tons of room with almost nothing there!Changing a water pump would be easy and it seemed to have a lot more room than other '60s models.A far cry from all of the stuff the cram into modern engine bays but it is comparing apples to oranges!
  13. They even made 2 brands of cars in my hometown but each only lasted a few years.The Wick and The Mahoning(named after the county).
  14. I wonder if REO was connected to the Diamond REO truck firm?
  15. Yeah don't be thin skinned.People will point out flaws and /or inaccuracies in your builds from time to time.As long as it is done a respecful and with helpful intent than you should carefully consider whether the crticism has merit.plus you know you are free to disregard any or all crtisim if you feel it is not valid or the member misunderstood the intent of the builder.Snarky and or trollish comments will be taken care of swiftly by the Harry and the other mods be rest assured of that!
  16. Yes I saw a Youtube video of a B-52 that large that crashed and burned.10gs gone in a few seconds!
  17. The guys at AMT must have been "Laugh In" fans!
  18. Yes I was surprised how cool it sounded when i put the slide over the 12th fret.it really rang put!Yes that is the type of guitar I want but I will settle for a wooden Dobro or Gretsch with the metal resonator cones.
  19. I dropped the High and Low E to D.I have to get one of those cameras that let you see what the camera sees!I do have trouble with that! I want to get a metal cone resonator guitar,but funds are tight due to the kids going back to school.Thanks for the comments!
  20. Thanks for the tip!I'll give it a try!
  21. Rough but interesting. (clic the pic to view the clip)
  22. Exceptional job!Very realistic!Back in the day a neighbor had a black 4 door '62 Dart that we all bombed around in.It had a manual so when the battery died we just pushed it down the street to get it started.
  23. I found this for 18 bucks in 2006.Replaces one I received for christmas in the early seventies.
