  1. haha, just open a second account. i did using a 2nd email address.
  2. well, dont know how i missed this one. im not a mustang guy, but wow! this is sweet. a very nice build i like the color, very beautiful.
  3. joe, these are great and the story behind it is wonderful.
  4. i like the look so far. now the goop. i have heard of it, but i haven't found how to make it. please show us how you made this.
  5. yes jim, as i said it and another member mentioned it. if you send it as a "gift" payment, it doesn't take out fee's.
  6. well, for it being your first 2 tone paint, it looks great. hope the tape marks are an easy fix. keep up the great work, and like the others, i too dig that shifter.
  7. the engine is going to look great. i like the attichopped top.
  8. if "gift" payment is made, then there is no fee taken out. instead of a donation, it should be a gift. i see this forum as a gift to the hobby and just like a real gift, a lot of folks take it for granted and whine about it. i would gladly give a buck, heck, i'd give 5 bucks. i dont use the chat, but if it helps, then it helps. i was wondering about the "forum jump" feature.
  9. i buy a lot of my kits from ebay. its not ebay itself, it's the sellers that give others a bad experiance. i mainly buy imports and majority of them are toyota kits that have been discontinued, are a steal for their asking/bid price, the fact that its hard to find and my LHS doesnt stock them or what ever they do stock cost more that getting them on ebay. i would by them on emodels, but they dont have what i want. if there was something there, i would buy it. i got this one for 37 bucks, theres another one for "buy it now" at 100 bucks+shipping i got this one for 27 bucks shipped, usually found for 40-55+shipping and this one was a bit more, 55 shipped, but its hard to find and 1/20 scale. so makes it a bit cooler. theres another one, but i think its at about 70 or 80 bucks+shipping. these are the most recent ones. i have many that i have bought that were easily priced 40-60% cheaper. so its not all too bad if you look around a bit.
  10. that sucks. give 1000 grit a try to start with and then work your way to a higher grit to smooth it out.
  11. this looks great. i like the color combo. just a tip on taking pics, get a big sheet of plain white paper and use it as a back ground. use plenty of light and you'll see a world of difference.
  12. the center consol looks really good. dig it bro, it's going to be so retro.
  13. how about sanding the roof down and respraying it?
  14. aah crud, they use to be made in the US. now they are made in china, taiwan and some in US. shot in the dark to see what is still made in US..lols oh well for that. well best of luck on finding a US made compressor for 100 bucks. yard sales, salvation army and pawn shops are good places to look.
  15. old style V belt super charger http://www.lbcunited.com/upload/upload/FRENZEL%20SUPERCHARGER%20FLATHEAD%20FORD.jpg new style V belt super charger http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/attachments/parts-other-items-sale/46637d1208603499-f-s-vortech-v2-blower-kit-picture-354.jpg

    BMW 325i

    i dig the stance too. slammed and tucking fujimi kits are a pain when it comes to light lenses.
  17. home depot has a husky 1.5 air scout compressor. its made in the US and its now 99 bucks. i dont own one of these, but its what i found that's made in the US. http://www.homedepot...ocStoreNum=1002 or look here, there are some different ones there. husky and cambell hausfeld are US made. at least that what they say.. http://shopping.yahoo.com/air-power-tools/;_ylt=AhLp6SDX4J0i0HM3lbVEeyUbFt0A?p=air+compressor&pt=110
  18. wow, i didn't see this coming. looks great. keep up the great work.
  19. mike/shucky, im looking forward to that F-4 snail.. that just calls for a supra drag car and i already have the donor for that.......... mike/foxer, that is why i posted the photo... :lol:
  20. i agree with these guys. mike aka shucky, has some really nice turbos.
  21. i hear what your saying bro, i just hope others do too and soon. this hobby is suppose to be fun and therapeutic. its not a contest or a race. i have been a member here for a little over a year and have seen a lot of bickering and fighting to say "dang, do i really want to be here??" its a great forum, great info and some great builders, but the mood, or should i say environment is not a welcoming type. yes, typing and talking do not go hand in hand, but taking the time to word it as correct as possible can prevent confusion. use the dictionary or thesaurus, the right word is in there somewhere. build on guys.
  22. too cool for words! B)
  23. im liking the look of this truck. got my attention.
