  1. I SEE IT (says the blind man to his deaf companion) LOL,thanks . The only other parts listed as in the 500's I see are chromed so I assumed...and I know better than to assume anything
  2. Hold on a sec...(and yeah,it was till shrink wrapped and from Hobbytown USA)
  3. Looks great,Rick! Here's a teaser of what mine will look like... I discovered a problem though...there's no correct Bullitt grille in my Bullitt kit,only a standard GT grille with the cutouts for the fog-lights (which,ironically,aren't in the kit),though the instructions call out a part # AND have a correct grille pictured...idears?
  4. Well,if you want to get really jiggy wit it (Will Smith fan ),grab a couple more GTH kits,and see if you can find or print out decals,you can then make a Shelby GT (basically a GTH,not a Hertz version,5 speeds and called "Shelby GT") or a Califinia Special (these were white with blac striping and such),LOL! Sending you a PM with a question
  5. Actually,there's 7 I have: '06 GT '06 Shelby GTH '07 GT500 '08 Bullitt (1 in hand,2 more in route) '09 (?) GT500KR '10 GT '10 GT500 (disregard that SN95 pic,LOL!) Problem is,as slowly as I build,if you're waiting until I actually finish one to begin another....my good friend,you may get bored,LMBO! Ya know what,I thinks I'm gonna log out a few and go piddle with it a bit. I'm just now getting the opportunity,as we had some family drop in unexpectedly (and though I tried to give the the hint by going online periodically,they stayed for hours...they weren't even wanting to spend any time with,just to watch a yet-unreleased DVD we have,LOL ) If I get anything done,I'll post it tonight or tomorrow
  6. I was watching it until I bought those two Bullitts
  7. Body paint's not so hard,just be sure to keep a steady distance and speed back and forth across as you spray,and do light coats so as not to gob-it-up and run,as good as you've done so far,this will be the easy part
  8. I'm just gearing up for the next build,so no real juicy WIP pics on my bench today...
  9. I LOVED the last one,Lyle,this one will rock too
  10. Sent you a PM with a link to one on eBay
  11. Off to an AWESOME start!
  12. Sweet! LOL,that's one thing I remember loving when I built my first Revell '49 Merc,such a perfect\snug fit,no glue needed on that final assembly (for some strange,perverse reason,in my mind,these two cars just go together as kustoms... )
  13. At that price,you better jump on it before someone else does (not me,LOL,just saying)...that's like,cheaper than an LHS (even Gizmos,by a few deneros),without even burning up gas to go get it
  14. That dude sold the last (3rd of 3) Bullitts for $7.99 and $5.50 shipped in the last couple hours,was it you that scored it? (Glad I got 2 of em when I did,LOL!)
  15. If the Hornet kit is any indication of what we're getting for the money,count me in too! Tomthat's a cool back story,put a smile on my face. My wife of 19 years (we're bit younger than you...I can't say her age,but I'm 9 months younger at 38 ),and she's only been driving for 5 or so years. I told her for years she could do it,she didn't think she could,but she's a good driver now with +5 points (that's better than "clean" driving record,never even bee stopped at a road check),and a much more...sane driver with a much lighter right foo than I
  16. If one was building one (I would,if circumstances were just right; ie: If money,space and I was able to crawl up under em like I used to be),that would definately be worth looking into. Seems to my eye the Labaron was a tad-bit longer,but it may very will have been body overhang rather than wheelbase.
  17. Now you're cooking with gas,Mike! Looks GREAT
  18. I'm digging the stance,and flat blackness,Chuck,perfect wheel\tire choice too! It screams ol skool rod before you even pop the hood! Nice build
  19. That turned out AWESOME,Bill,and it's now my favorite chevy off your bench,ol friend! :D
  20. KITT turned out GREAT,my friend! (not to mention built FAST),Michael would be proud
  21. Jonathan,WOW you built that thing FAST! Looks great! Thanks for the info on the chassis. Well,at some point I started wearing them all the time...but I can't remember if that was it or not,LOL..it may have been that day the co-driver wrecked me out in Utah in 2001 I somehow doubt I'll get anything done to mine tonight...eyes are already a bit tired...but I'll definatly be getting on that Bullitt over the weekend. Also,I scored TWO NIB Bullitts off eBay this eve for $7.99 each plus $6.45 shipping (total). The dude has one more if anybody wants it (I figured I'd catch haites given how many I've bought in the last 60 days,regaurdless of pricing,LOL!). Mike,looks GREAT!
  22. IDK either,LOL! Bear in mind he's not building a rep-stock with this one,but a TV car replica...Jonathan? BTW,never feel embarrassed to ask a question. There ARE some dumb ones*,but very very few,and that certainly wasn't one of em (*I passed a cop this one time,he was sitting on the side of the road kinda hidden,when rolled past him doing 15-20MPH over the posted limit,and with no seatbelt on. He chased me down-while I was puttng my seatbelt on-and when he walked up he said,and I quote "You didn't have your seatbelt on when you went by me back there...did you just now put it on?"......um....... ....... ......."No" I said with straight face,LOL! THAT'S a dumb question
  23. Firstly,thanks (they melted to goo in that house fire though,LOL,pics is all I have of em now). And yeah,LMBO,that's always been me too Now though,we have this unfinishd "closet" up stairs in my daughter's room,that goes almost the widt of the house. By unfinished,I mean only half the floor is covered,insulation visible,no lighting,etc. I may try spraying a little bit up there this winter,at least to see how bad the fumes would leak into her room (door seals pretty dang tightly,you have to really tug to open it),stick me a lamp in there and a fresh cartridge inmy resperator (that I have yetto buy ) and have at it,LOL!
  24. NICE!!!
