  1. Theres only one big thing I really would like to see. I dont care if its a resin body or a kit from the big boys and that is a 1923 C cab, just like the fiberglass hot rod bodys! I even may know a resin caster or two or three that may be talked into casting it! Jody
  2. Mine is the hot rod series, but its a 41! Mine will require new wheels and for the nose to sit higher. Not quite as high as yours though. But yours certainly is insirational!I am wondering how close the 41 willys chassuis would fit this 41? Jody
  3. Nice builds there. Jody
  4. that is a stunning build for this kit! Great job indeed.
  5. Oh man. That is totally awesome build. Period perfect rail. Man the wheels really make it with that silver. I just cant say enough about this one!
  6. Nice builds indeed! More pictures please. Jody
  7. Wow does that look like a terrific period build! I am really liking your style!
  8. another terrific build. I do like this. everyone seems to be building these and it keeps making me eager to build mine! LOL. Jody
  9. Great looking stang. You captured the era well with that one. More pics please!
  10. Looks like that was one heck of a fun model to build! Nice job. jody
  11. Well done. Sharp looking build. jody
  12. Always one of my favorites. Nice job again! Jody
  13. Looks very cool! Jody
  14. I totally agree with that! Its these threads also that help create new online friendships. Also I see it no more off topic then someone buying a new car, or having kids or getting a new dog or girlfriend. But I never seem to see someone complain about those! LOL. Beside, we also already gotten a kahonas approval here. LOL. Anyways..... Dragged a bike in here to tear apart in the mean time to fix my rider beater up for now so I can keep riding it. First thing is first though, getting my mower deck welded back up after a horrible horrible incident with a unseen rock so I can get back to work! Jody
  15. Now this is one super build so far! Great attention to detail! Over the top. I love it! Jody
  16. I like the first one! But I cant seem to find the pedals on that second one. Too much wieght in the way! Sure would hate to have to pedal that one uphil! ROFLMBO! Jody
  17. Well, went for another good ride today. Bent a front gear, brakes came loose. The derailers are also out of whack now. No to mention just about everything squeeks. LOL. Great cheap bike. LOL. Jody
  18. Some nice bikes there. the best bike I ever owned was a brand new barracuda in 94. The most exspensive one at just over a grand with tax. Also the shortest lived bike i ever had. owned it one week and never got to ride it before it was stolen! Man I was pissed. never saw it now any recompensation for it! As for the parts, I think a 21 speed i might prefer, but we will need to talk price before i go deciding. But there is some hills here and changing up and down sometimes happens on a constant occassion! LOL. Jody
  19. Very cool.That would be appreciated. Ill need 2-3 weeks to catch up on my bills as things has gone south for a short. I am sure that will give ya some time to look and figure things out. Then we can talk biz. Thanks. Jody
  20. Well, I dont know. from what I was told, they are better because you have your legs stretched out further for better strength and that if you have strong legs, it works on a principal simular to a leg press. Being so small and week, I thrived on my leg strength in weight lifting as I could do a hundred pounds more then anyone else in my class! 500lbs. I dont know how that compares to anyone else, or if I can even be close to that now as I am getting older? But I do need to find a good site dedicated on rideing for distance. Jody
  21. Those are fabulous bikes there! For around town, I like kustom bikes, and am chopping some up to make some! But for long distance, for like what I want to do on a regular basis, and having a bad back, it is certainly sounding like a recumbant is in order. i know after the rides I do, my schinn (spelling?) and my back kills me! ( Not to mention my asthma) But I absolutly love to ride! The salvos around here dont have anything, let alone anything good! We dont have any other places like good will, wich is too bad! I miss them! Now if I could find some vintage quality parts on the cheap, I could use them with one of these frames here I stripped down to the bone that i absolutly love! Then I could use that for the long distance until I could ever afford a good used recumbant trike! I wouldnt mind riding say a hundred miles in a day one something like that! Some day.Of course, I dont know where to turn for quality parts cheap either! jody
  22. I might agree, but only one issue, I cant afford a nice bike. i ride a cheapy and have gone for 14.5 miles so far. need to regreese the crank again after a total of 35 miles on it. I am hoping in a month to work myself up to a 25 mile ride for a bike athon I am starting in our local church. I really really wish I could afford a nice recumbant trike! Then I would probably ride much further. I am also quite shure faster. If not, perhaps easier biking up some of these dumb hills around here!I am finding it a real battle to go up some of them in first gear and calling out and asking for more strength from the lord! LOL. that does work for me by the way! LOL. A recumbant trike is in order some day if I ever find a good job again. Heck, after a year and a half, I would just like a job! Jody
  23. Very cool. I have a luged 10 speed frame I am cleaning up and will be repainting. It will get mountain bike handle bars, cushy saddle seat and a few more gears, like a total of 8 more, making it a 18 speed. adding a couple of water bottles, pump, emergancy kit with tools a cut up tubing. I have made it up to 14 miles. Goal in the next month is 30! Jody
  24. Thats a super looking build of one of the coolest looking 33's ever built! Jody
  25. Very nice classic build! Jody
