  1. I design decals but I have STS print them. Good folks.
  2. The REAL GONE and Last American Hero.....you are a Smart feller!!!! I need to pull my copy of Hero out and watch again!
  3. Me and first car I bought......still have it!!!!! Well spent $600
  4. The store off US 74 near the river??? I was there last month while in the area. I lived in Charlotte during DoT filming and another NASCAR film, Stroker Ace!! Stroker has a model car connection. The Monogram 83 Thunderbird is a model of the Stroker car and NOT a Cup car. The Cup car was not finalized yet so they had to use the Stroker car. More than anyone wanted to know.
  5. AGREED!!! In DoT during a race scene 'Cole' is following a Thunderbird and suddenly it becomes a Monte Carlo and we are not going to notice??? They switch tracks during a race. Not sure how that works.....red flag a race, load the cars in trucks and restart at another track?? All kinds of wrong in the film CLAIMING to be serious......while Talladega makes no claim other than funny.
  6. R2 had a '70s Elanor license at one time, they did a 1/18 die cast. I asked if they'd do a 1/25 kit but was told no tooling $$$ for hood, wheels grille.
  7. That would work. I\d like to see the Stutz too....Really want to dream add stock fenders to the Thomas.
  8. Anyone else in for a AMT Thomas Flyer NY to Paris winner???? Or just me??? LONG time since a reissue.
  9. VERY nice work!
  10. Adjustable spanner on jar (monkey wrench) vice grips on lid......works 99.9%
  11. Way back I had a orange 70 Mustang sportroof........I like them bright cars!! 1975
  12. Ours got the 32 and 56 Fords........I bought the puzzle X Wing as I like those.

    AMC Pacer X

    Nice work!!! Party on!!
  14. That body was sold as a perfume bottle.....it's where I got one.
  15. Original door panels.....all of the interior is original. Headliner is all we will replace. Thanks
  16. Nice!! I cut what was left of our headliner out. It had shrunken to where it was 2-3 inches shy on all sides.....how did it happen???
  17. It's NOT a Mustang problem. You can replace Mustang with Charger, Challenger or Camaro. The Mustang is targeted because there are so many of them, so cheap to upgrade and easy to own by idiots. I've owned a Mustang since 1975. My son has a 2016 Roush with 700 HP at wheels. We don't do dumb stuff on public roads. He does enter burnout contests at car shows at organized events off street. It all boils down oo driver/owner. Thanks
  18. WOW...nice work! I owned two real Aerostars........decent vehicles if maintained. Thx
  19. I may hsve found it's remains........Under the driver seat was bits of white paper....none big enough to say what it was. Everything else intact....I think that is what was left. Thanks
  20. Gone as far as I can cleaning and interior........so I started on the engine. Removed spark plugs and feed engine with Marvel oil mixed woth some Lucas. It sat over night and I attempted to spin it after sitting since 1985. She spun VERY well w/o a gallop or noise. Put the plugs back in and cranked her with some ether. She started and ran for 5 seconds. Some gas in the carb and ran longer. But found fuel pump was not pumping so I am doing the VGG treatment to see if I can bring her back. Really happy how good everything is I am finding. Thanks for looking.
