good to hear your meeting your goals. i got off soda pop and started drinking tea. that helped me quite a bit. Jim

(singing) High Heels and Chrome Wheels and Resin in my,,,,,Purse? lol

i like it. 57's are one of my favorites. cool idea.

with th Austin Martin, where' James Bond gonna keep all his cool stuff at. what's the ejector seat gonna be a barstool. lol seriously though. i can't imagine having a wreck in something like that. just not the Mouse-Stang but all of the micro cars.

i got he email update from SMBC the other day about DRAG. i have alot of products from all members. great stuff. BUT, i don't know about Modelers in Drag. maybe a little too much Too Wong Foo? lol just a joke fellas.

what scares me the most is what our choice of models will look like in 20 yrs.!!! i'm sorry but, i have grown up on Horsepower and Burnt Rubber!!! it is a bodykit for a Smartcar.

guys, i don't know if any of you have seen this but, when i saw it i wanted to go find a Smartcar and pick it up and Bodyslam it. i can't eat supper now. having an panic attack. somebody do something about this please!!! lol

remind me of 1 in my neighborhood when i was a kid. great build!!!

well, i just talked to Brian again with Passche and he has one personally which he does spray solvent base paint through. he also said they have never had a problem with any of there booths in 20 yrs. woo hoo!!! thanks for the heads-up.

the old Rat Fink looks like a cross between Archie Bunker and the Tazmanian Devil. lol... that is nice!!!

it's hard to believe i made it to the age i am now, knowing that i seen most of those cars run at Talladega many moons ago. nice builds!!!

1960 Falcon Ranchero is what i learned to drive in when i was 12. had a 144 6 cyl. in and would hit 55mph about 55 mile away from where u started. good little hunting and fishing truck.

i have the 22 inch boot.

yeah, i almost bought one of the Pace's when i bought my Passche. i'm kicking myself now.

hey Mike, i just posted some info i got from Passche about my booth in the tips thread. the portables are rated for acrylic paint only. try this link and read up on them. http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/booth.aspx i'm a little miffed about mine. think i paid around $300 for my 22 in. Passche around 4 yrs. ago and it's only rated for acrylic paint. cheapest one i seen with an explosion proof motor was about $900. take care, Jim

for what it's worth. i contacted Paasche about my spraybooth yesterday and asked if it had an explosion proof fan motor. i have the Hssb-22 from Tps Global. here is their response: If it is our HSSB-22-16 then no the fan is not Explosion proof so should only be used for water based paints. Our BBF and EBF series booths all come standard with Exp Motors and tube axial fans. They are also set up for businesses as far as meeting OSHA and NFPA standards which the HSSB models are not.

not so-Smart Car? lol

i really like that. can't beat a gasser.

drill you some holes in the valve covers:D ever heard of a Hemi with glowplugs. lol nice find.

i think some people are missing the bigger picture here. although acrylic paints are waterbased, they are also a plastic base. which plastic burns. the fumes from acrylic won't likely flash but, if enough of the residue builds up, you could have a fire. the bigger picture i'm referring to is, how much other paint do we have around our booths? bottles, rattle cans, bondo, thinner, paper and plastic products. it only takes one spark, not only from a booth but, from a light or tool or what have you. i don't care what kind of booth you have, if it has a fan or light, you have the potential for a fire. if a fan is binding you will have heat. (even with explosive proof or sealed fans) my point is be careful guys and use common sense and it probably wouldn't hurt to keep a fire extinguisher around. Happy Building Guys!!!

nice job!!! i love those cars. i'm glad Model King brought them back.

i don't believe the 390 was ever in a Bronco either. i don't remember if you could get a 460 in one back then or not. friend of mine had a 1978 model and his had a 400M in it, i think. which the 390 was long gone by then.
