I know ya usually see threads of anger an disappointment when an update or change happens ... I'm even guilty of it. But this thread is about an update or fix or whatever it is that actually seems to be for the better. Whatever was done to the Chat room between last night and today has helped the issues I had mainly with the scrolling. Everything seems to work and I didn't have to do "update my browser " to get it to work. Thank you for fixing the issues

Deuce 5 window coupe "Then and now" (finish)
Rick Schmidt replied to qmhd's topic in WIP: Model Cars
What I did when channeling my sedan and 5 window was mod the lower door panels and attach them to the inner body then slide the floor up to them with the frame. Just an idea if ya like the kit side panels. -
Deuce 5 window coupe "Then and now" (finish)
Rick Schmidt replied to qmhd's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Lookin good so far. Can't go wrong with a Channeled Rod hehe As for getting the interior in ... I don't think getting a Kit interior in is gonna be an issue anymore with that Channel lol -
Oh yea know it's off topic but if that taurus is smooth and such and aside from a missing hood is buildable I'd try to save it I believe it was the 91 SHOs that were very rare in emerald green

Hmmm airbags musta been an option. Old Red is a 92 and I'm pretty sure the way the wheel has a convieniently placed split its an airbag wheel. Not gonna go mash a small car to find out tho lol. Back on topic. Bullits could be had in black. I know they aren't original looking in black but they look so ###### awesome in black! If i end up stripping my 08 for the clear goof It's goin black this go round

Hmmmmm I tis smellin a 91 SHO

Rick Schmidt replied to SuperStockAndy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've tried similar to how ya put it Gregg and got nothing except some warning about too short of a word. I've decided like a lot her to just give up on the search function. -

2nd this They were on a designated area right ?? most that should come from this is damages repaired and such -
] Ok guys based on what you have told me this is what I have come up with . First I figure Maybe I had it too low so I raised the rear back up some which also undid some of that Camber. Am I at least gettin on the right track now ?? Now I'm also coming to the comclusion that the wheels don't seem to move as I thought I thought as they went up they turned inward at the top too ?? are they able to go up without swinging in to a certain degree ??

Man got some great stuff goin on up in here. I still need to get back on mine. I looked at it last night but then left it sittin there. Workin on something as far from a Stang as it gets a Bug lol
-
Ok guys thanks. I'll be tweekin it then. I'll post up my results again to be checking with yall. This is my first Bug so this is all new to me.

So I'm redoin a Polar Lights VW... decided I'm gonna lower it and such, Not being knowledgable on VWs it took a little figuring out was discovered that the way they are designed causes the rear wheels to do odd things when dropped ( could also see it in a pic earlier with wrecked Porshes which showed one upside down ) Where I'm at now is the modding the rear to drop. My question is about the angle of the rear tires. They are lined up with the rear axle piece from the kit which is bent upwards. Am I on the right track for the Angle of the wheels ?? Am I gettin the look right ?? I do know once the angle is set I need to figure out a way to flatten the inner edges of the tires to show the weight on em but at the moment I'm just trying to figure out its stance
