  1. I don't know which kit this bike came from-got it in a trade. It's just like the 1971 Yamaha 175 enduro I had when I was a kid.
  2. http://www.machinefinder.com/ww/en-US/machine/2008-new-holland-t2320-tractor-2050927 This one in the ad is exactly like mine, that one has 300 hours on it and mine just turned 200 hours, I also have a set of pallet forks -you can change it from the bucket to the forks in about 5 minutes. I've changed the oil every 50 hours-used it but never abused it.
  3. This is a late '40s or early '50s Chevy that belongs to a local farm near my home-right now they are using it as a bumper stop to fill those plastic tubes full of silage-the truck keeps the silage from blowing out the end of the tubes-this truck is very clean , runs great and is still earning it's keep. Some times there is a sign in the window when it's parked near the road="Not For Sale"
  4. Another part of my "motorhome plan"- I just sold my 1963 Plymouth Valiant convertible that had been parked since 1985 and had 72,000 miles.
  5. This is my 2003 F 250, 5.4 L w/6speed stick 43,000 pampered miles. Bought it new in May of '03 paid it off in May of '08 and as soon as it was paid off I bought this 2008 New Holland tractor in May of 2008-Just made my last payment and this will be the first time in 9 years I don't have a payment........now I want to sell them both and buy a motorhome
  6. That's a very cool subject-I always enjoy your USFS builds. Your decals look great too !-Chris
  7. I've only done it once but it worked out pretty good for me. I got ahold of a Revell 2006 Chevy Impala police car-snap kit. When it was still bare white plastic I colored all the trim with a chisel tip black Sharpie then masked it off with BMF-primed , base coat and clear coat the body, then re-cut all the seams where the BMF was so not to pull the paint off-the black trim was nice and clean.
  8. I would do that and any thing else to fight this terrible disease for your wife or mine........ FYI= Men get it too. October is Breast Cancer Awarenss Month although I think it should be a year round thing myself !! Maybe we could start a thread for pink builds to be mindful of this issue ?
  9. Gut Gemacht (Well Done )
  10. http://www.youtube.com/fiatusa?sid=1037056&KWNM=fiat+500+commercial&KWID=3109902974&channel=paidsearch Nice Truck When you say "driving around the house", I always think of this.------------->
  11. I know you said you were looking for V8 conversions, just to be different I used a Ken Kitchen Buick Straight 8 in this Revell 2 dr.sedan, used an AMT '51 Chevy for the frame and fire wall/inner fender wells , used an old pill bottle to make the fire wall deeper and had to move the core support a little to get the long engine to fit.
  12. VERY NICE ! The detail is great, I enjoyed the W.I.P you did on this-Well Done !-Chris
  13. Last night I dreamt I was installing the muffler on my AMT 1953 Corvette model, when I woke up I was exhausted..................
  14. I really think the D.E.Q (Department of Environmental Quality) and D.N.R (Department of Natural Resources) would strongly disagree with that statement.
  15. You go ahead and dump toxic chemicals on the ground and drink the well water if you want to Andy ! This is America after all-people should be able to be as socially irresponsible as they want. (this is sarcastic humor BTW)
  16. Does anybody remember "Love Canal"?
  17. Nice looking build-Could we see a few shots of the other side of the car ?
  18. From what I've heard ( ) some of those old MPC kits are pretty nice.
  19. This is my buddys '40 Mercury 4dr. sedan-at first glance most people think it's a '40 Ford It might not be to hard to turn a Revell '40 Ford coupe into a Mercury-easier if it was a chopped custom.
  20. It seems that Chuck Manson was into dune buggys, and even bought into a dune buggy shop in the late 60's
