i remember seeing this truck on AMERICAN TRUCKER speed channel way back when ...when they did a custom trucks show going from place to place

i know how hard it is to find em! but i would like to try to find another since i love this kit!

i was actually wondering that myself! now is there anyone on that board that is an American?

havent seen a thing yet at mine ...so i dont know....will keep an eye out!

oohhh im loving it! im big into GTO'S! :wub:

no offense taken ....even though it doesnt look like it ...it is clean as it can be...(its just orginized!)

WHEW IM RELIEVED! ITS NOT MOLD GUYS! whatever it is was comming off with clorox and comet mix....but im to afraid to find out if it will come off the challenger with the clorox knowing what bleach will do! might try a very light buffing sand paper maybe???

actually we had snow the other nite ....it was just to wamr of a ground for it to stick so thats why you didnt see any but i will tell you yesterday it was snowing here in town....just to warm of ground for it to stick ...so it melted on contact! which was fine with me cause i didnt feel like plowing!

i use to work for one way back when so i have an idea what to look at!... but i havent seen anything yet!

mmmm ok ill have it checked out here when i run across the guy tomarow!

GOOD ONE Eelco! :lol: its not that type ... its the bad one ...

its just the model...the rest of the house is fine! white as a ghost!

Has anyone have a mold issue on there models at all ..i was going to touch up the paint on my challenger and i noticed spots on it and closer examination is...ITS MOLD! i never had that problem before until just now and now i got to strip the body back down to bare plastic and start over on the painting of the body...now with that said after i strip it would it come off in the stripper if i use easy off oven cleaner or do i need to dunk it in clorox after that then seal it with something ??? HELP!?

EASTERN OHIO EH? what part? im in Marietta OHIO if you come by ...i dont know if ill be here or not though!

OK Well where do i start?....i think i was 12 or so at the time ... my father was going on about the "idiots" that don't know how to drive when the snow starts falling, we where on North Dry Run RD (at that time it was a gravel road) and when the snow starts falling he couldnt believe the number of brake lights that came on in a single heart beat while they were breaking ...me , dad, brother, and i dont know if mother was with us ...but we had an old 85 chev blazer k5 ( with a real TRUCK transmission in it...ie 4 spd , 305 chev motor...that thing i think we tried to KILL it several times ...and it just kept going! )..but getting back on track we ended up going right on the wrong side of the road but we passed them all while we highly believe they were thinking...WTF IS HE DOING!... and basically went right on by...and went about our business... :lol: MORAL OF THE STORY...when your on hilly country.. DON'T SLAM ON BRAKES ...YOU WONT MAKE IT UP THE HILL!..SLOW DOWN...but keep momentum up to get up the hill!... think of a pile up bumper to bumper for 2 miles!

Reminds me of a story that i once heard from my pops! :lol: (if anyone would like to hear it then let me know and ill type for a while )

not much of an update on my chev truck but.... i did manage to get the interior pulled apart ...even though i broke the seat side off but with a bit of glue i dont think once i get it in paint you will be able to tell where i broke it at...working on the steering wheel ...which was wrongly put on UPSIDE DOWN! :lol: but i will fix that...hey is it me or does the kit lack a shifting mechanism? ...what transmission is it ..auto or stick? so i know what kind of mechanism to add! but ill get back to work on it i guess now is a better time than never EH?> ILL GET PICS UP AFTER BIT! OH DOES anyone have an timeing cover they can either scratch or cast another for me...mine disappeared somewhere?

HEY IM NOT DONE YET! and with general life getting in the way i need to find another job before i tackle it more cause im out of paint!

sorry i meant XF - 18 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-81718-Acrylic-Paint-XF18-Medium-Blue-10ml-XF-18-/220845876040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336b70a348#ht_4273wt_1139

thats cause you know that im not a detriot person but i am a sucker for kitty power! :lol:

oh i really would love to get one more of these kits but im not financially able to yet so... i guess it goes on the wish list!

tamiya x18 is pretty close to the "green" its suppose to be! sorry its not alpine green but its....DETROIT GREEN!

haha! you got it wrong! that is a detroit series sixty motor and if you want an accurate one its gotta be that alpine green not caterpillar yellow/...unless you want to consider it a c series?

COOL IDEA! ill try that here in a sec!
