  1. Jeff, I bought this kit about 2 years ago, when it came out as a die-cast(Loved the fact that it was Pre-painted!) It went together SO easily an well, I told myself I'd buy another if it came out in plastic. It has, but NOW i CAN'T FIND ANY!!! Oh well, I LIKE yours, an I'm DEFINATELY NOT a tuner fan, but I DO like nice lookin cars. It looks much better WITHOUT all the silly wings a spoilers an whatnot the kids put on them! I like YOURS!!!!
  2. i can vouch GREATLY for both Porky's castings, AND Kenny's too! I purchased BOTH of Porky's 64 442 resin, and 64 Falcon, and Bandits 70 Plymouth GTX casting. BOTH of them are TOP NOTCH bodies, among the BEST out there! You can buy from BOTH of these EXCELLENT resin casters an be SURE you'll get your values worth!!!!
  3. Geeze, from the size of that Nitrous tank, it LOOKS like this truck could outrun the Great Humoungus from the Mad Max movie!(I saw that cool avatar someone has) Good thing yer garage has plenty of spare engine blocks!!!! Your truck came out GREAT!!!!
  4. Harbor freight is a real good place for the modeler! I bought a VERY nice cut-off tool, a little gircular saw the does a GREAT job ot cutting Copper,aluminum,and styrene tubeing, and a nice vertical /tiltable disc type sander i paid LESS that 20 bucks apeice with the coupons I cut out of my car mags. Join their club, and they'll send ya weekly/monthly flyers with the coupons in them. Those tools are great if your NOT gona use them for HEAVY DUTY work.
  5. Mike, embarrasingly, I STILL haven't gotten the hang of posting pics(even WITH my fellow Marine Clay, AND Kenny tryin to show me!) But here's the website as printed on the package: http://public.fotki.com/HobbyDrop/ Give them a shot, you WON'T be sorry!!! .......Like I am about not posting pictures!
  6. Ed, that motor is 25th scale, but I hafta agree with Chris and Kennedy Jr. that the engine in Monogram's 64/5 Mustangs are probably the BEST ones to use. Very nicely detailed.
  7. Fella's Not meaning to start nuthin, But one of the guys at the forum I happen to mod on has told us all there, that HIS computer got a VIRUS from frequenting Modelers Haven, and ANOTHER member ALSO said that that forum had been haveing Virus problems! I'd be VERY CAREFUL about going there if I were you's!!! BOTH of these members are ALSO members in GOOD standing here, so I believe them, and I'm staying AWAY from MODELERS HAVEN!
  8. Chuck, they LOOK like they might be outta the ThunderBolt kit.
  9. Yeah, Clay them'r Ford Big blocks, FE's ta be exact! Too Cool lookin, but then again, EVERYTHING out yer Garage there IS!!!!
  10. Guys, I just got my turbo's from Shucky, TWO sets, one LARGE set for a Pro Mod Camaro or Mustang i'm wantin ta build, and a Street sized set for whatever. At least if somethin comes up, I'll have 'em. But anyways, these rascals ARE NICE!!! You SHOULDN'T be afraid to order from him, He's FAST gives ya GREAT communication, and the Turbo's are a work of art! NO bubbles or excess flash anywhere, and they come in two seperate peices, so you can clock them in any position you need! If his other stuff is this nice, he dun got him a STEADY customer! Check him out guys, you WON'T be sorry!! I'm not!
  11. Haa Haa Jonn, ya sound like yer BACK to yer ol NORMAL self!!!
  12. Like Mike-O is sayin, Just listen to your Pt and put your all into it, an you'll be back to normal before you know it!
  13. Well, Gary, I think it'll happen, cas he wouldn't have posted coming soon if it wasn't in the works. NOW, just how SOON we see it is ANOTHER question, but yes I DO believe it IS coming! An I'M gonna be gettin one!
  14. RMR makes some REAL nice stuff! I got his 41 Chebby chopped coupe, mastered by our own Steve Zimmerman, The Z man, and it's PERFECT! I also have purchased their Excavator, and it was a VERY nicely cast kit! I've only purchased these two kit from them, but if they're any indication of the quality of their work, I'd Buy from them without hesitation, they're THAT nicely done. AND I WILL be getting that Pontiac Can-Am once it becomes available, caz i'll turn it into a GRAND -AM!!!!! Oh YEAH!!!!!!
  15. Nice job Rod, I like the way you put the "Hemi" re-enforcements on the front of the springs. it's little things like that that make it believeable! Also like the tinwork on the doors! I built mine with a Hemi, single 4 bbl an a six-pack hood scoop. Didn't come out too bad either. I like where yer goin with this'n!!!
  16. HOOO Wee, an I thought the KIT was complicated!!! Just be careful caz that etchant solution IS MEAN!!!!
  17. Greg, I have the Micro-Mark kit, but it seems kinda complicated to use. That may be entirely MY fault, but it seems rather involved to do. It's pretty complete though, you just need the wherewithall to DO it! Me, it just seems ALOT of work to go thru to make some photo-etched parts. Check out Micro Marks website like Mark said, and check it out. Be warned though, There IS alot more to it than some may think!
  18. Excelently done! Just beautiful!!!!
  19. So, after rereading the entire thread, NOWHERE does it tell me if it's built on the Neon Platform or not. Some guesses I imagine, but NO definative answer. Is it, or isn't it???
  20. Marc, I LIKE the way it turned out. I REALLY like the look of the amber turn signals! NEVER cared for the ugly Engine Compartment, as that year Cuda DIDN'T have those nasty rounded wheelwells. I'm in the process of modding the ones off the 70 Duster to see if I can make them fit. If it works on the fastback I'm workin on, THAT lil coupe is next!!!
  21. Rick, I found that same kit, built, at a garage sale. Since I'm not really into convertables, I cut the roof from the old Rat Packer kit, and turned it into a coupe. Wasn't hard to do at all. Came out pretty good, if I say so myself.Painted it Competition Orange, Like my high scool buddy's lil Nova
  22. Jim. I used Testors gloss black enamel. I just made sure the chrome was stripped off, and as clean as i could get it.
  23. TOOO cool, Virge, I like it!!!
  24. Where do you guys get the Spaz stiks??? I have the Alcad, it seems to work ok, but I've never seen the spaz stik stuff. Do you guys mail order it? if so, from where??? Thanks.
  25. X2, ya can't go wrong with Ma's tires!!!
