‘99 Chevy Silverado
espo replied to JFLV's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking paint and interior finishes. Like the engine and chassis detailing. -
1978 Dodge Sno Commander
espo replied to Rade8boy's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking truck and snowplow. Looks showroom fresh. Alway fun to build a model of a vehicle that has been a part of your life. -
Great paint job, just like the old gel-coat metal flake jobs of old. The driver's seating on this kit looks a little tight, but your interior looks good along with the exhaust and the rear skid plate.
-
The body portion looks well done.

I have never been able to get out of a ticket. I in fact have gotten tickets when I wasn't even speeding. One of the draw backs to having a Hugger Orange '69 Camaro at the time.
-
Great looking paint and decal trim combination. Like the factory rally wheels.
-
Man, this has been a great journey watching your build. Your Barn Find looks beyond saving, just as it should.

Dor you think you could have pulled that one? I'll bet your pretty wife would be the only one to pull off that ruse

Like the red inner fender liners. Olds only option, wonder if they would fir a Chevelle? I know they would in or scale world here.

Great engine idea. Always wondered why more haven't thought to use the Pontiac OHC six. -
1972 Chevy C 20 stepside
espo replied to leafsprings's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking pickup and like the unusual long bed Step-side. -
Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Like the engine and chassis detailing.
-
Like the dark sinister looking color and finish.
-
Beautiful looking color and finish with the stripes. The Cragars always look right on Mopar's.
-
Great looking paint work and like the bright color. The chrome body trim all looks well done. Nice detailing on the engine.
-
Great looking show. So many interesting cars and stepsides. That red Plymouth with the 413 reminds me of a car a neighbor had back then. That car should never have been street legal. Whenever he would drop the hammer on that car, he had to be sure he was pointed in the right direction and be ready for it to try and turn on him without turning the wheel.

Revell 1/25 Formula 1 speedboats - anyone know more?
espo replied to robdebie's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not sure about the Formula One Boats, but any of the faster Drag Boats have required a drivers capsule in case of the boat flipping. I would think that these would as well, but again I don't know that. Would depend on the sanctioning body and their safety requirements. -
Another mention about manual transmission vehicles. We ordered a new '09 Wrangler with a 6 speed manual that we intended to go off road on a fairly regular basis. We attended many Jeep Jamborees in several central and eastern states. Something we noticed was that most people were buying Wranglers with the Automatic Transmissions. While I did see where they could have an advantage in curtain off- road applications one thing that tickled us was after negotiating a very difficult obstacle was the reaction from other drivers when the realized we had a stick. We had a 4-inch suspension lift, 33-inch BFG KM2's and when we sold the Wrangler at 130k miles it still had the original clutch and drive line with zero breakage. Who says you can't have fun crawling over rocks, running through streams, playing in the mud, then drive it through a car wash and drive it to work on Monday.

Today is a special day in my life with my lovely wife, this is our 39th anniversary. I have been in love with this woman for half of my life and I'm blessed that she shares the same feelings towards myself. We have faced the good and the bad in life even the sickness and health bit as well. We have always been there for one another when moral and emotional support has been needed. I would hope that each and every one of you here have a similar relationship in your lives.

Hope you are recovering is going well. The two-tone colors look good together and the rear wheel well opening changes the side view in a good way. Like how you did the interior.

STRIPPER with LOTS of PICTURES * repainting a Beetle
espo replied to Edward Gore's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Makes you wonder what type of masking tape he was using. On the large container for the pond. I have the same issue, but I just put a scrap piece of an old 2x4 under one end and that makes the other end deep enough to cover most model bodies. I do like the container you ended up using and now I have to find something like that.- 21 replies

Something to consider with a C-Pap machine. There are a few different head gear options. The main thing to look at is how the breather positions on your nose. Some of these put a lot of pressure against your upper lip under your nose. Over a period of time this can affect your upper front teeth. The constant pressure over time can and will often push your teeth back some. This can affect your bite in that your lower teeth will strike or rub against your upper teeth when you close your mouth or eat.
