  1. As a 21 year veteran of auto mechanics, you need '95 to '05 Buick LeSabre/Park Ave. They talk today about getting 30 MPG. These cars were getting 30 MPG back then. It's no problem for these cars to get 200,000 miles. Even 300,000 is not a problem.
  2. Sadly enough Steve, I really don't have the money to go. I will have to put reality first, as the fantasy world of model cars can sometimes take over a persons life. Then again, I may go back into my fantasy world tomorrow. Darn split personality.
  3. I want to go SO BAD. Anyone got an extra $50 they can send me for gas. Not giving up yet.
  4. How do we find a list of kits available?
  5. Here's a link for the pictures. Put it here in general topic to help spred some cheer. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34204 HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL
  6. Here's part of the crew behind John's place. Looks like it's time to light the fire. Happy Halloween guys. Hope ya like it.
  7. Niko, I thought that's why the Community section was created, so Community builds would be there.
  8. Can we see some pictures
  9. Greg, If you are wanting to use plastic for axles, why don't you use sprue. It would be more ridgid than Evergreen.
  10. First off, I would like to thank Niko for this great build idea. I'm in Gonna build a '66 Ford Fairlane. It will be as a Super Stock as they were in the late '60's Today the Super Stock class are called Late Models. The car raced at Macon Speedway in Illinois. It was red with white rims and numbers. In later years the driver Jim Ater drove an early '70's Maverick that he called the "Dirt Squirt".
  11. LQQKS GREAT
  12. Somehow mine ended up by it self. That's OK I check here too.
  13. The car or the kit before 1990? '66 Fairlane? Any type race car? Home track dirt car?
  14. Looks Great !!!
  15. Well I called to check on my new subscription about 3 weeks ago and was told that the printing was underway .
  16. Which one should I keep to restore? '71 Charger --- OR --- '72 Charger Thanks for the advice
  17. Looks like restoring will be an issue for a while My cousin was more into drag racing. Lots of Mopars Dodge power wagon GMC pick up Can anyone identify the 1/32 demo derby car? It came modeled like that.
  18. Looks awesome
  19. Well I had to go find a couple of old pictures. My 2003 (season) Monte Carlo (top) and 2005 (season) Monte (lower)
  20. Building all my own 1:1 racers myself, I can really relate to this one. "A back yard dream" When building, I spent as much time in the seat dreaming as I did building. Thanks for showing and thanks for bringing up those memories
  21. Oh ya Excellant!!!
  22. Engine finished. Question for Bart: Is the driveshaft visible under your car or does it run through a tunnel? The kit frame appears that the driveshaft runs through a tunnel to the rear end. Any corrections that would be needed, please feel free to post them. Thanks and I hope you guys enjoy.
  23. Thanks for showing I miss racing. But I can more enjoy the family Oh, and coming back to modeling fits in there somewhere
