  1. Hello Claude. Fantastic build sir! You’re blessed with skills and ideas that are out of this world. Another super build. Great job sir.
  2. Sand blasted the transmission. Polished the carbs. Gives different effects on white metal.
  3. Started back up on the lusso. Rested for a couple of months. Here we go.
  4. Hello Curt. No sir I’m home and resting. Wanted to make it but the wife is not feeling well. Have a great time and send me pics if you can.
  5. I was once told that your success is your kids. If they turn out to be good people and do well in society then you have success. Here are my kids. Well not kids anymore. My boy is biological mine but the girls are adopted. They are doing great. The boy just got back from the Ukrain. He is in special forces. And cannot say anymore about that. But the daughters are successful, Lauren is a cover model and the other daughter is a 5.0 student and receives the deans list every year.I’m very happy and proud of them.
  6. Had one. Imported the car from Italy. It’s the one I should have not let go. I am a BMW certified body tech . The cars are beautiful and some are great. Read your reviews on the car you want. Better have deep pockets as they are very high maintenance. Had a 2002 way back when and loved that car also. Just be careful and do your research . BMW have lemons also. Good luck on your future purchase.
  7. Prayers to you sir. Get well. Need to see that Cadillac built, LOL!!!!
  8. Went riding today. What views!
  9. Please take care!
  10. I would like to comment , This can drive one crazy. I know a guy that things have to be perfect but rarely finishes a kit. I think he drives himself crazy trying to achieve this. Around 10 years ago I was building for fun then wanted to enter contests. Did not fair so well at first. Hooked up with a couple of IPMS national winners and learned a lot from these guys. Started to win at a local level. But never thought I was a perfectionist. I believe a lot of people who drink alot or use drugs alot are perfectionist people and when it does not go their way,well the drinking starts etc. I try to do better by improving myself and not trying to out do others. Fast forward to today, I have won special awards , first place at a national IPMS level. Does this make me a perfectionist? I still do not see myself as a perfectionist. Other people think I am, but to keep it real , I am not. Just try to do better than the last time and have fun with your builds.What has happened though is I have lost the motivation to build. With achieving what I wanted to achieve, I think it took a little wind out of my sails.Just have fun and I think that’s perfect enough. P.S. I believe scalemaster and ace- garage guy summed it up perfectly.
  11. Tried to go up the hill on 431 to Lake Tahoe but the trails have a little snow still. Jeremy Renner lives up here. Had a bad accident with snow removal equipment. Looks great as his recovery was incredible. Broke over 30 bones. Anyways the trails were not open. Maybe in a month or so. We are pretty lucky living up here.
  12. Well Ray I better not. Some people really get jealous and it’s not a good thing. But I did make a skid plate,( it’s to protect the wiring under the bike. ) ok not exactly a skid plate but it’s made of carbon fiber that I had laying around for a corvette c8 project. It works and looks good Under there.
  13. Hello Claude, the more I look at this car the more amazed I am. I had quite a few mustangs and although the 71 is not my favorite I still had two of them. They are a great GT car. Very comfortable with some power. Your car is what ford should have done. Very cool model with great engineering prowess. Super job sir , just had to look again. Fantastic!
  14. I guess I better not post my new rv or my new talon side by side
  15. Try it and see
  16. My most favorite car as a kid. ! Great build!
  17. Great job Ray !!!! Just traded for this kit. The mustang is a Great War bird. I noticed there is alotta stuff in this kit. Yours came out great!!!!
  18. Sand blast the engine next. Gives it a realistic finish.
