I too try to think of ways to drive him nuts, I do have the advantage that I get to see him once a month

Nice job , looks good Nick

You forgot to put the paint in the box

The newer ROG kits are a lot better , its the older ones that have problems I guess, going by the year on the box, its was made in 1992

Fit issues, the kit ride height was too high, the hood did not fit, needed to be sanded on the sides to fit, the chrome grill inserts did not fit, the chassis to body fitment is bad, I had to superglue the front part of the chassis to the body . The two part seats do not fit together very well, but the glass fits greats. I had problems with the windshield wipers causing the hood to close, so they are not on there at the moment.

Thats a very nice room Dan, I would of liked seeing it person while I was for the meeting

Nice catch there , wow, I really type lovering, I think I have lost it , that relationship didn't last very long

Ja, es ist, es ist ein Bratwurst-Herd Danke

Yeah I know , we will say the owner of the car had it before moving to GB, yeah, thats the story

Here is Revell Of Germany's BMW Alpina kit, I will say what a very ill fitting kit, I got to the point were I just wanted to get it done. It was a OOB , I did lower the ride height, and I think i went to low in the front.

Thanks guys, I am almost done with this one, I am going to remake the rear spoiler then I will be ready to post some pics. Up next NASCAR wise, I am going to be doing Danica's Nationwide car, and doing another one of Erine Irvans rides

I was joking George

Um , yeah , I knew thats what it was, just forgot to post it

I would rather see a trailer full GL's , then a trailer full of donks , unless the trailer was heading to the crusher

Very nice, I can hear the Ateam theme song in my head now, where did you get the wheels from ?

Now that is cool, very nice

I got parts today for my 1:1 car today as well on Wednesday, today picked up both Cats for the car, and the alternator on Wednesday

I agree with about the AMT COT kits, I think the big problem with those are two things, one, it was a basic snap kit, and two the pre painted bodies, I think that if they would have made them full glue kits, even with pre painted bodies, I think the sales would of been better. I do think that if Revell steps up and does do glues kits, one, I think they are going to be kits of the new 2013 cars, they will sell, maybe not like in years past, but still sell better then AMT kits. One of the other reason's is, say 99% of all the after-market NASCAR decals are 1/24th, and AMT's COT kit was 1/25th. Kevin, please forgive me, I was not trying to come of as bashing you, sorry if you took it that way, not my intent

The problem people are having, is because Revell is thinking of tooling up something thats not from the 70's or earlier . I am sorry you non NASCAR fans have a problem with or the series, well guess what, the kits are not aimed at you, you dont have to spend your money on them, but for NASCAR fans like myself, I welcome new NASCAR kits, and will support Revell 100% if they do start tooling up some new NASCAR glue kits

Please go check your facts, they do not run the same blocks, each manufacturer use their own block, per NASCAR rules, if a manufacturer wants to run in the series, they must make a engine block.

Oh my god not another general lee thread ( OMGNAGLT) Just kidding Danno

Got more work done on the BMW , here it is after being clear coated Chassis finished Here is the new ride height Getting the trim painted on

Almost done with this one, I am not happy with how it looks, but I learned something for the next time if I decide to do another Camry conversion

Trust me when I say a therapist is not going to help :lol:

OMGNANGLT But yes, for you Dan, that would be a nightmare, I had one too, that everyone on this forum got along
