  1. l had a 1:1 '75 Postal Jeep years ago. Had a friend with 1000's of AMC hi-po parts. Our plan was to make a mini rail drag/show car out of it & call it "Goin' Postal!". l sold out to him & last l heard he had abandoned the project. l think it would be fun to build in 1:25 as well! lf you did, the roof wouldn't be too low, lol! Bart.
  2. Nice build. l like metallic colors-silvers & grays-it looks good on this one. The '55-'66 fenders give it a "real world" look. Nice, understated engine bay. Keeping it real! Bart.
  3. Go Cragars!
  4. ......Takes a little over $40 in gas to go get one. l can handle postage, Thanks.
  5. Very nice! Clean & SHINY! lt looks like it rides a bit high? Maybe a bit more rake, but could be just my tastes. l really like that color for a scoot. l wouldn't have thought of it, but it looks sweet. What did you use for leather? l have a 1:25 l need to fab a seat for, wondering lf what you used might work? Tasty work! Bart.
  6. Thanks, guys. This looks like exactly what l want. Now for the BIG ? Anyone have an old one with a couple blades they can get rid of? l'll put this in the wanted section also. Bart.
  7. Can someone explain/describe a razor saw? l have been using a Dremel, which melts more than cuts, & a hacksaw, which takes away more plastic than l can afford on my current project. How thin are the blades? Thanks, Bart.
  8. "The Lovely Bones" was one of my 10 yr olds favorite movies for about a year (from 8-9?). lt bothered me for a while until l realized it was strengthening her spiritualism & self awareness. Sometimes reality sucks.
  9. Very nice choice, Mike! l had a '69 back in '81 before they were unattainable by mere mortals, lol. Mine wasn't a Judge, but still fun. l'm looking forward to this build. Please, carry on, sir. Bart.
  10. l couldn't resist another look, Jim. l believe l recognize that console? l assume you had to do some serious grinding to fit it to the tranny tunnel? Are those also your Nomad buckets? l have to say the whole interior layout is fantasticly beautiful & functional as well!
  11. Oh yeah! l'll be checking in on this one, for sure!
  12. .......How fitting. l should have thought that through. The V-10 l have is actually from Revellograms '96 RAM VTS pickup! So theoretically, l should be all set?
  13. l'd LOVE to have one!
  14. lf you haven't found a Rat Fink decal yet, l have one that measures 5 mm high X 4 mm wide. if that works for you, PM me your addy & it's yours. Bart.
  15. l've got almost all the parts gathered to build a Dodge L-700 car hauler. l want to use a Viper engine for a cool custom touch & was wondering how practical it would be for torque/pulling. l'm sure l can get it to fit, just want it to be reallistically viable. Thanks, Bart.
  16. A work of art, lra. Excellent from start to finish. You have inspired me to slice & dice yet another one-off custom of my own. You are truly teaching us how fun & rewarding this hobby can be. Thank you, sir, for that! Bart.
  17. My favorite car (as of now, lol!). You're right about the brittle plastic! l broke the cowl in 3 places on one body! Yours looks nice in red. Good to see another '63 built. l hope to have one finished this year, lol. Bart.
  18. Very nice surgery so far. l love the shorty vans. There were SO many of these around in the '70s. To bad most are gone now. l'll keep in touch with this build, should be groovy! What year grille are you gonna use?
  19. Awesome look! l love the modern upgrades with the factory body lines. Nice color combo & tires & wheel combo. Classic AND classy! Bart.
  20. Man, this thing is in the weeds! Looking good so far, Jason. Keep up the good work. l can't wait to see some color on it! Bart.
  21. Wow! Just.......wow! l'd like to see some sunny pics as well, but this is beautiful even in the dark, lol! Awesome paint work. Bart.
  22. Wow! Your builds are getting trickier each time out! Wild interior & l love the Magenta, it really sends this one over the top! l'd like to try water bourne(?) flames sometime. ls it the same basic process? The antennas rock! Very creative touch. I really like the diversity of your builds. Never "stuck" in one genre. Except the SHINY of course, but that's cool! Bart. Wow! Your builds are getting trickier each time out!
