What is the purple pond?
skymnky721 replied to '08SEAL's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ive used EZ-OFF oven cleaner for yrs,,{in the YELLOW can},,all you do is spray it on,,let set for 1/2 hr,,use an old toothbrush/warm water at the sink and scrub off,,if its really old paint,,or multipule coats of paint,,you may have to do 3-4 cycles of this process,,and it doesnt harm the plastic at all. -

skymnky721 replied to Irvin Arter Jr.'s topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
OMG!!!! I WANT THIS!!! I had at least 10 of these when I was kid,,I built choppers out of them,,dirt bikes,,and everything in between!! Remember the chrome springer front ends,,w/the shifter,,,and small front tire w/drum brake?,"Apple krate" "Lemon peeler" "Cherry picker",,ect,,,man I love these old stingrays. BTW,,these are worth alot of $$ if in good condition these days. VERY COOL,,great to see this!! -
Well,,I tell ya,,,I live on the west side of MTR CTY,,and theres PLENTY of old industrial sites around here,,,River Rouge Ford plant is a good one for the look you may want,,maybe look on the web for pics of it,,and Greenfield Village,{Henry Fords personal museaum he built} has some cool stuff to consider,,and the Chrysler Hammtramick plant is pretty old school looking as well,,Im sure theres pics on the web of these,and others.

Thats awsome,,,look forward to seeing it done! -
Great work,,,just wondering how you got the radius's at the back of the frame tubes? Look forward to seeing it as it comes along.

Hi all,,not sure why I built this,,maybe because the winters here in MTR CTY are long and cold! lol Its a kit-bash,,I thought what it would be like to put the driver in the bed of the truck,,and the mtr in the passenger area. Chevy 409 mtr/671 GMC blower,,shortened rear end,,cut off the top to give open air for mtr,,used a engine cover from a Dodge 300 van doghouse cover for dash platform. Lots of leftover parts from the "leftover parts box",,gauges,roll bar,,tires,,mags,,ect. Wonder what it would be like to drive this thing?
-
The only thing missing is the key to turn the ignition and start it up!! lol it looks that real!
-
Fantastic!! Is that Grand Sport Vette style intake setup? It looks similar to one,,I used to watch these,,and all the trans-am cars of the late 60's-70's race at MIS{Michigan International Speedway} when I was a kid. Love these ols trans -am style cars,,great job!
-
Beauty! Where in the world did you get this? its hard to find these type kits in the states. E-bay?
-
Wow,,thanks guys,,,Im seeing alot of really great builds on this site here,{not so much mine}but man ,,love to see so many still into building models in general,,I couldnt live without it! I dont always have alot of time to do it,but when I do,,I enjoy every minute. All the best to ya in 2012!
