I dont think I want to know the movement he is talking about

Mike- you gave me an Idea for the trunk area, thanks for the extra work my friend , I was just going to grind down the speaker ports, but I think I might just do what you said. I was going to use the brakes, but for now I am not sure , it just depends on what wheels I use, None of the wheels I have will fit over them . Well Agent, doing what you said would fit in some area's of Phoenix though , couldnt you have had a better flashback

Well I used the wheels in the frist pic on my ferrari 360, but I think you guys are right that they do look good, so I might just have to order another set. Mike, yes that's the look Iam going for kind of , did you change the wheel wells on the chassis?. Yes I did glue the doors shut, I can not stand scissor on cars other then super sports car Here is where I am at so far I primed the body, did some sanding to remove mold lines, and to see how the door handles look, not 100% happy with them at the moment , and I painted the on piece chassis and here is the interior piece , my next step is to remove the speaker ports

Local shop closing - Sad days indeed.
martinfan5 replied to Qwit Pushin's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It sad to hear about another LHS closing its doors, I know alot of people are against buying online, I want to try and point out a few things that a lot people may not be thinking about . 1. Not everyone has a LHS that is within a reasonable distance to them, so that leaves online the only other way to buy kits. 2. A lot of people dont have a lot money to spend on this hobby, or have to make their hobby money go a little further then others, and when most hobby stores are selling kits at or above MSRP, that makes it hard on some of us. 3. We are in a new era of how products are sold, like it or not, its not going anywhere, in some ways it good, and then on the other side its bad. I do support my LHS, but not for kits, I like to save money if I can, so I find the best deal for the kit I want, who ever is selling it the lowest gets my money. I do buy everything else for my LHS or hobby lobby. I dont always have the time to make a trip to the LHS, so buying online is my other and only option. I think the LHS need to find ways to stay competitive right now, think out side the box maybe, I mean maybe the LHS should offer a online store, or find ways to offer better prices. I dont know the answer, but if the LHS dont find ways to stay competitive, then I think we are going to see alot more LHS closing their doors. -
