  1. Sure gives a new meaning to "junk in the trunk", doesn't it. ? You're welcome. I hope the help someone who wants to build a model. Yes, some did go to the crusher too early.
  2. I was at a graduation party today, and it turns out that the parents own a celebrity photo company, and they have a replica of the Supernatural 1967 Chevrolet Impala hardtop. They take a car on the Comic-Con circuit, and have been all over the US. The owners, Kim & Jim LeMay, were kind enough to let me photograph the car; and to post photos of it here. Yes, it has all the "toys" And the journal (actual filming prop): Some interior shots: Visors signed by the cast members: Original 350 Small Block: The car was a "barn find" in Minnesota, and has 49,000 original miles on the odometer. Kim told me that this car was third in line at the car crusher when they purchased it. Jim did a full off frame restoration, and I have to say that the car is absolutely gorgeous! He did tell me that he did replace the front drum brakes with disks, and it has an electronic ignition. No remember, this is NOT one of the cars used in the filming, and it is a replica of the car as it appears in the first three seasons of the show. Never having seen the show myself, I cannot confirm or deny this; but I figured that you guys would enjoy seeing the car. If you have any additional questions, let me know, and I will see if I can get the answers for you. Fun fact! This car was actually used as a funeral service car in Minnesota before it was stored.
  3. Great looking Bel Air.
  4. Well. a lot of my friends are in PA. Besides, it's a joke!
  5. Yes, that's true; but I still think it's funny.
  6. Nice looking one-day-build Sherman. I like it. ?
  7. Nice looking cruiser. Well done.
  8. Your Greased Lightning came out great. Well done.
  9. That's a great looking Transtar, Casey. Very well done.
  10. Thanks. i appreciate it. That's some serious wheelbase!
  11. That's a pretty wild paint job!
  12. Can someone who has built this, please tell me the wheelbase of the kit? Thanks.
  13. That's pretty cool.
  14. Great looking old Mack. Well done.
  15. That looks awesome, David. I have this kit, too; and I am intimidated by the masking. You did a great job.
  16. Thanks, JT. I appreciate the positive comments.
  17. Your Cruiseliner came out awesome, Dan. Very well done. I like the look of that Bighorn it's parked next to, too.
  18. Thanks, Warren. It's just your standard AMT/Ertl Kenworth Aerodyne kit released under Esci/Ertl name in the 1990s. Probably for Europe, but I'm not sure how it got over here in the US.
  19. Wow, you're just cranking these Transtars out. Looks nice.
  20. You can always try here: Plateshack.com Site Map They're not decals, but you can download them, resize them to the appropriate scale, then print them out.
  21. I didn't even know Harbor Freight carried hobby air brushes. I've been looking at an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS for a starter air brush, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
  22. Very nice looking K100. Well done.
