didn't VWs have wheels like that at one time ?? Dunno that rodders woulda used VW parts on their rods but I guess its possible

I know I like it Might have to find me one of the Camaros just to get its wheels Did I start something with a stripe delete GT500 ?? lol

What kit did you start with its lookin pretty good now

No new pics sorry tear down isn't the most exciting thing to take pics of If ya want tho I'll take a pic of a pile of parts and a black chassis lol

hehehe Maybe I have gone mad but The plan is to take this And put it in a sinister black give it a few evil touches and turn it back loose on the strip. Now why Do I ask will I do it ?? Well its because its an old issue of the Bad Man hehe The Answer ...... Well I'll let you figure it out but the car is already in pieces and I did post it here in the WorkBench hehe

Only thing I'd done to the original is modern tires The whole hot rod Idea was great. Do got to say tho now it looks great too

Dagnabbit I had my hopes all up for a 1/25 scale Batmobile to go with my Futura too

Most recent for me wasn't my thumb or even on my hand. I was cutting the rear springs of a car on the edge of my desk like a fool. part gave exacto went down stabbed into my thigh. hurt worse than if I'd just cut myself I think.

Fujimi, Its a hearse hehehe It supposed to scare folks lol Guess Me bein borned on Halloween is why I thought it was cool but not scary lol Bob I figured ya'd see that Blue Bettle as I have heard it mention on Trak lol and don't worry when I start anything on it It'll be on Trak probably one of the few that can lol Marshall I Hadn't really thought of what I was gonna do with that figured finding parts for it or any of these wouldn't be easy I'll be getin in touch with ya

Yesterday I found me what you could call a barn full of Showrdods and other rods. Answered a Craigslist ad for 14 Model kits that had a pic of 4 of em. Went and picked em up and I'm happy Gave 60 for the Lot, Might been too much but I'm happy with my buy and thats what matters right ?? Most of em are complete or close too it, and only a few have any paint. Worst one in the whole lot is that Lindberg 34 Ford but theres enough there I can go a different route with it and get a rod outta it I was happy to find this one been wanting one for a while Got a Blue Beetle hiding in it None of the scuba stuff I hear was supposed to be in it but oh well the trucks complete This is why I answered the ad Didn't even know what it was or what a Boot Hill Express was when I was told the name but It looked cool lol Dang I think its last run down the track hurt lol More Pics here Posted a link to the album so ya dont gotta wait for 14 pics to load up

Speakin on the subject or diecasts I pull every one I get out of its box I toss the box in the trash never to be seen again I buy em for me to enjoy and look at.

Marshall Thats freakin crazy Hope I don't ever go outside after a storm to collect hails that big ... Might not have to go outside to get em they might just invite themselves inside Jason No worries there You can have the Thunder and the rain and the lightning and whatever else comes out of it. I don't wanna have to top ya on this subject Sorry to hear bout ya ride but least ya are ok. Looks like all woulda been fine had those dagnabbed power lines not got in the way of the roofs. There they were minding their own business flyin around and WHAM !! some gangsta powerlines start a fight Fujimi Ya know thats an Idea I have an old beat Diecast Crown Vic Think I'll sit it outside somewhere where theres no trees or anything to protect it for the next few nights. Wife says its supposed to cut loose again tommorrow or Saturday Just too bad I didn't know it was comin last night cause I really dunno if I want what its gonna take to bash a diecast to come back

thanks guys If they did compare em to Model cars on the weather I'd know how big they are I mean he was sayin golf ball as I jumped outta bed lol big golf balls now had he said Half a Model car sized I'd been like oh heck I aint goin out that door lol That freak wind sounds like the one we had in 96 Grandmother said old timers called it the Devils Wind. Storms collapsed and the wind hit 100 + and the temp hit 100+ at the same time at midnight Now I know why it did it cause of the energy in the storm an all lettin go but then her explanation of it was the devil riding acrossed the plains made sence of why it was so hot right then Harry Imagine bein asleep then hearing them pounding the roof and the brick walls of the house I jumped up outta bed like WTF!!!!!! Fujimi, I'd never leave my cars out there especially in that lol Tho had I known it was coming I coulda sat a few diecasts out there got some wicked roll over cars lol And Bob one dodge one Ford lol far as I know my pickup was in the area of town that got missed from what I heard today. So hopefully its fine .....tho it still has a shattered side mirror from the Quarter sized hail last time

As for the comments about damage the cars seem fine aside from a few dings not enough to even fuss over I do think it pounded the windsheild of my 84 Mustang but it was already broken so I can't be sure. As for the roof of the house I dunno need to get up there tommorrow while I'm off and check it out Marshall I'm on my lunch right now but will come back tonight and take a look at the video

Sittin here last night bout 8 or 9 an was Chattin with friends, when I noticed the lights kept acting like they wanted to go out. Well I find out theres a wicked nasty storm about 30 minutes north of here dropping tornado warnings . I shut the puter down just in case and kept the news channel on watching this storm take its time coming straight for us. Well after a few hours it gets here but starts sliding east missing town so I give up and go to bed. around 12:30 I get woke up by this thundering on the roof. I jump up an run out to find the the tail of the storm dropped just into town and was dropping hail. Put it here next to my Revell 06 Mustang for comparison watching it come down on the cars outside it might as well have been that big Lucky for us tho theres just a few dents in the lids of the van and Mustang Not sure about my pickup yet cause its being borrowed but I haven't got the "OH dagnabbit your truck has no glass call yet " lot of folks fared much worse. News talking bout cars with glass knocked out in Apartment parking lots nearby and some brand new cars with what they called Sheetmetal damage. Even seen a few cars with glass puched out while I was taking the kids to school . Been rainin and storming for a few weeks now and they just keep gettin worse. And they say more is coming this weekend. Wonder if this is the year we get it.

I don't think we are more than a few hours apart. I've never been to Vernon but, folks I know who lived in Frederick Ok said it was about the same distance to either come here to Lawton or to go there. Guess its the Two Walmarts that drag em here lol

Yes sir everything but the engine parts are from the basic builder kit Thanks

I finished up my Roadster tonight. I started with the Revell Basic builder kit. Cut the fenders from the frame unit then built up the chassis box stock. I took the kit engine and stripped it of all the molded in parts leaving only the block heads and transmission. I added all the stock parts from the Revell 56 Delray to the kit engine, and used valve covers from an AMT 57? Vette. I channeled the body down and moved the grille and cut the interior to match, then assembled what was left almost box stock.

I'd go with the Whatever is in the machine theory. Like they said above its going to be plated anyway why waste time or money trying to get the exact color for everything. Could been sets from 2 different runs unless they were on a tree together

Very nice car Harry I love the color combo. Even got the Bullit style wheels on it. One of the better looking wheel choices

My Mother has an 06 v6 She bought new to replace my 01. Far as I know she only had one problem with the car , which was the piece in the Auto Shifter that fills the gap fowled up making the car hard to get in gear. Ford fixed it under warranty with no problem. The few times I've driven the car I've liked it. Theres a difference in power and giddy up an go over my 01 and it definatly rides much smoother than my 01.

I sure wanna see it If ya don't post it up at least PM it to those of us who'd like to see

No clubs here that I know of but I'm up here in Lawton Oklahoma

Yep us Mustang owners don't care about our cars. I just used that as an example if the car exists somebody has done something stupid with it Wrecked Exotics prove that. I bet very few of the cars on there are stolen. remember the guy who wrapped the ferrari around the pole not long ago Think it was an Enzo but don't remember He wasn't just having him an innocent suday drive he was acting stupid in it. You look through that Wrecked site and you'll see a lot of stupidity done in cars that "Wouldn't be treated like that "

Recipe for a new KITT Take this Some of this ( use brand of choice ) Add various gadgets you like to interior just be sure to add the glass ball to the dash gotta have that. mix all this together using your various skills and imagination and in weeks to months depending on speed you have a KITT hehe Thats actually why I have this kit too lol just haven't felt like doin it yet Need to finish my conversion of therevell 91 Firebird to KITT too but again don't feel like it lol
