Olskoolrodder

Thanks Rodney. I liked em too,I wouldn't mind owning a clean '85-85 CS Turbo Z o '89-'90 Shelby Z now to drive daily,saving miles on my Mustang...they'd make fr a fun,cool ol sporty-ride,wouldn't they?

Thanks,thanks and yep

Thanks for the tip

I don't know how southern it feels today. While this isn't really all that cold,it started at 37 degrees this morning (0630 when I get the kids up and out),and finished off around 34 degrees I don't have indoor spray capability either. What I usually do is spray little bits at a time (really close to the door to run back in fast),bring it in and set it up in the washer room to cure/dry between coats. Well,that's how I did it in the old house,bu it should work here too. IDK how well it would work for someone else,but I've had decent luck (and that's exactly what it is) so far knock on wood. Here's a couple that were painted around January and February in sub 20 degree weather that year... It can be done,but great care ust be taken,and much luck is appreciated,LOL!

Thanks Now I must figure how and where to display builts in the new house...my 24 model display case melted in the old house,LOL! Guess what I'll be buying after the holidays

Well,this one didn't turn out as my best work,but wasn't really intended to be,just a quick build to get one fnished,LOL! It has a big old glue-booger (thanks Nick,LOL,my son ),and th chassis-to-body fit leaves lots to be desired (I'll go back later an tweak it,anxious to get on something else right now). I owned the 1:1 back in the mid 90's (one of at least 3 Daytona Turbo's or Z'z I've owned,the least modded of the bunch). here she is. Thanks for looking

Thanks,Bradley ol friend! That sounds like it would be a killer sleeper car too,something I can see me wanting to drive Anyways,this one's done,going now to post in the Under Glss section. Be kind,it had some mishaps that I may go back and correct,but as you know,I'm pretty anxious to get on a different project

Thats's a loss for us,but no worries,my friend,when the inspiration to build it hits,we'll still be here,it's a no-end-date CBP

I'm sorry to hear about your Mom,my friend,much thoughts and prayers headed her way,hope she heals fast. LOL,I'll just live vicariously through your build of KITT for now,though you're right...when it aired on TV,I wanted to build one,hahaha! And thanks. My wife will attest,the attitude ain't always so pleasant with it,LOL,and I went through that whole "bitter feeling sorry for me" moods early on-until the first time I saw someone who had it much worse,that humbled me a bit. I may have already said any mount of this here,LOL,short term memory ain't always so great either cause of it (since it was technically a head injury,hit i hard enough to snap the neck...),but hey,that gives me a built in excusefor not getting chores done sometimes (being tat I'm te house-Dad now)

COOL! Thanks for the link! Hopefully it's "streaming video",as this computer is known for being durable,but it has about 1/5 the amount of memory\speed of your average $500 new one (.99 gigs or whatever it's called,instead of the normal 5-7),LOL,but it was cheap and got us going. Sorry to hear you're feeling it a bit too. Mine is due to the breaks healing wrong,amongst other trauma caused ailments there (scoliosis,desintigrated discs\fused vertibrea-at least 6-degenerative disc disease I didn't have before,etc,etc,etc,plus I felt C3 "slip" out last week,which it does on occasion,just the tiniest fraction of a movement,but causes pressure to be on the chord,sending "false pain signals" everywhere...I could say "ya get used to it",and I sart to believe that during a good spell,then it hits and well,ya don't )...suffice it to say,I can emphasize with\for you there. I've become moderately an expert,at least with my own spine,since that happened in 2001. NOT that I'm complaining-I ain't,it coulda been so much worse (breaking one's neck in 2 places),and I still enjoy lots I always did (including mtn biking),even if only during random "spells". Anyways,I got all but one bit of detail painting done on that other build (that's holding this one up) today\tonight,all that's left in the morning is assembly,and those few brush strokes under the hood (air filter housing,battery and radiator hose are all molded in place and were sprayed body color),and of course,the shooting\posting of pics,LOL! I'm getting pretty anxious to get the Bullitt going

Oh this is gunna be FUN to watch! Off to a grand start,Brother

Chuck-That interior looks killer,I think it's better than if it'd been blanketed Aaron: Killer idea!

How are you going to work in the ability to transform into an F150? It's been so long since I've seen it,I can't remember the undercarriage,but that would make sense for what KITT was used\built for. Thanks on the hood. I'm also thinking about using a set of Pegasus Chrome T's (looks lots like pollished Torq Thrusts like I ran on my old Blazer),though at around 20-scale-inches or more,I'll probably have to mod the wheelwells (ie: remove them entirely,LOL). I'm HOPING the neck will ease up a bit (that's pretty dang bad,to hurt too bad fro a near 11 year old injury to sit at the bench ),I'll get that Daytona done tonight. I did the remaining detail painting and some of the minor assembly,just need to bring it on home now,an hour maybe? LOL!

I finally cracked open the clear plastic on the Bullitt a few minutes ago,and I recieved the resin hood from LSM a couple days back,so I had to post up a pic ... Ahhhh....not too much,just enough (cowl induction). Already pre-filled any imperfections before he ships,ready to be washed in Bleache-White,and thinned down for a perfect fit (LOL,I've bought from LSM for years,I'm not a paid advertisor,just a loyal customer ).

Thanks,Charlie,and yeah it does . I liked every one of the one's I owned. They were long on butt kicking (for what they were),but short on sophistication,LOL! It's been a rough last several days for me with the old spinal injuries (pain,stiffness,etc) or this one would have been finished already. I did work on it some last night (detail painting and interior),and I will be momentarily,HOPEfully,I can finish it up tonight and post pics i the finshed section (thus freein me up to begin another project I'm anxious to get on ).

Sweet Be sure to post pics when they get back

Me too,them AND Ford!

Hey,don't complain...they coulda just scrapped the project when they saw the ride height was off ,at least they produce a good looking workable kit (or 7) out of the original mold. I just hope they add the missing links coming out of Ford (like the '11 GT and BOSS 302). Looking pretty good to my eye,Jonathan

That's looking good,wheelbase looks right to my eye. This is gunna be killer!

I will,but it will be a while. Have to set back fr what we wantto gift for Christmas,and am otherwise tapped out (unless someone buys a mtn bike I'm still only thinking f selling,LOL!). Thanks for letting me know (and letting me throw the "he sent me" in there),I'll definately want a set when caught up

LMBO,that is funny! Bet it doesn't look half bad though...those wheels go wth jus about anything

Yep...above my paygrade just a bit,at least until I gt back into it...one does loose a bit when off the bench a year or more,LOL! Sounds doale though,and I have most of the parts. Thanks Me too! I wouldn't mind seeing them on my '94 in 1:1 too,LOL!

Sweetness!

LOL,thanks,Bradley. Normally something like that would haunt me to no end and keep me awake for weeks (not really ...if it were some kind of contest build or something I'd worry about it),but this one will be "almost" stock,so it's all good. Pretty close none the less,and I like the shade.

That is pretty close,Rick (and a dang good looking build too). I didn't see any of that one (at either Auto Zone or Advance Auto,2 locations each),the one I have (and is now used so I can't echange it,LOL!) is also a GM color,"Medium Green Pearl Metallic".
