  1. That looks like a show winner to me. Beautiful truck.
  2. I got a pack of these silly things. I really only wanted the one with the girl with the surfboard because my daughter who lives in San Diego has just started to surf. I want to build it for her as her as a surprise. I was able to get all these for the same price as just the one with shipping costs. These were shipped free.
  3. Carl, another heads up ! While I was thinking about the best way to solve the wheel problem I decided to tackle the decals. They split into pieces like decals do sometimes. The decals will need to be coated beforehand to save yourself that headache. Good luck with yours. I may not even finish mine.
  4. I bet they they take bathroom breaks. Sounds illegal to me. What do they want you to do, wear a Depends ? That's not right.
  5. Hey Carl. What I found with this kit may be just mine I don't know or maybe me. I found some parts bent or warped. Some parts do not fit well. Parts need a lot of clean up and if you don't modify the front track the tires will stick out too far. Ya know, just typical model stuff you run into from time to time. This one is just for some reason giving me fits. Just had to walk away from it so I wouldn't turn it into an airplane. : ) Will let it just sit for awhile as I decide to how best fix the tire issue.
  6. Ditto. Love your work. Keep em' coming. You just can't have too many Cobra's ! : )
  7. That's different. I like it !
  8. Nice Cobra. I did the same thing.
  9. Oh no you don't ! : ) That would be all kinds of wrong ! : ) Not sure you could modify that short wheelbase without putting the rear tires in the interior. Maybe a gasser but I'm not sure how you would do an AWB Cobra. More power to you if you can.
  10. Very nice clean model. I may have to get me one of those kits.
  11. Fun project. I did one several years ago using a Rat Packer chassis. I did not move the front fenders however. Looking forward to your progress. Good luck !
  12. My BIL bought his used. Black on black. White bumblebee type of stripe. Had a 429 if I remember right. What a car !
  13. Very good looking model.
  14. Your interior is CRAZY ! : ) Oh ya, the car looks good too.
  15. I bought the stock version of this car many years ago to do a replica of the car my BIL had at the time. He still has it to this day.
  16. That's different. Looks to be very well done.
  17. Very nice, cool color.
  18. I agree, very nice !
  19. Looks to be well done !
  20. How true. They must think everyone drives a Mini Cooper. When I had a Corvette I would park way out where nobody was. When I would go back to my car there would almost always be some nimrod or two that parked right next to me even tho there were closer spots.
  21. Let me begin by saying that in over 50 years of model building I have never built a Nascar style model that I can remember. I do like the older ones ( stock cars ) but don't care for the newer ones. Anyway, as I like to sometimes build something different for myself I threw this one into the mix. I am sure when done it will probably sort of resemble what it is supposed to be and no where as good as you fellows build them. So far I have found the kit to be a pain. Could be more me than the kit. : ) It features some black parts which I never have been fond of in any kit. Although the body is pretty nice I found many parts bent or warped and there is a ton of clean up that needs to be done.
  22. I think I know what his go to word is. : )
