  1. Very nice work.
  2. Nice. I really like the early Chargers.
  3. Hi guys. Can someone tell me where is the best place to look for 1/16 scale big and little tires and wheels ? Actually they don't have to be resin. Looking for something like the wheels and tires like you would find in a Revell 1/16 funny car kit. I have the Lindberg 1/16 Bull Horn kit and it could benefit from better rolling stock. Thanks
  4. Very nice !
  5. Well the second paint job came out a tad better. I decaled it and set the body on the chassis for a look see. Tomorrow I will shoot on some clear. Then I can finish up the body details and go on to final assembly. Looks like I forgot to remove the wipers. Oh well too late now and I guess I will have to detail them. Seems like I always screw up something anymore,
  6. I think I may give it a try too. What is it about it that makes it so good ?
  7. Nice job Pete !
  8. Nice work !
  9. Unless it is a Cobra kit I buy for my collection it gets opened soon after I get it home. I have many sealed Cobra kits and none have any damage................ so far . : )
  10. Add me to the list of those who like it.
  11. You just grab a hold of the mirrors with your left hand and swing your leg up ! Oh wait, no mirrors. Your slipping Harry ! : ) Nice truck James !
  12. That's a looker !
  13. Sweet !
  14. I would worry that perhaps as I go along parts packs would not be available to allow me to finish the build. Maybe nothing to worry about but that's just me. I would only buy if I could afford to buy all at once.
  15. When we going to see some color Ira ?
  16. The re-badging of cars also fools a lot of people I think. For example my SIL has a Pontiac Vibe. When I mentioned to her it was a Toyota Matrix under the skin she did not believe it. I also know a guy who dislikes Ford but purchased a Mazda Navajo who didn't know it was the 2 door Explorer. I would bet this happens all the time. A lady where I used to work had a Jeep Liberty she hated. Traded it in on a Nitro. Same thing , no ?
  17. Won't be long now. Do people still bother installing snow tires in the winter ? My first job when I lived in Oak Lawn Ill. was at a service station and I put on many a snow tires for people. Most didn't even bother to have them on a rim so I had to dismount the "normal" tire to install the snow tire plus balance. The old time bubble balancer . I actually enjoyed doing that. Got a pocket full of tips.
  18. Isn't that still the case with some vehicles ?
  19. Felt like doing some building today so I just about finished up the chassis. I have the body back in primer again and may and try and paint it tomorrow. Fingers crossed. : )
  20. Looking good John. What's your method for opening trunks and doors, back of an xacto ?
  21. Paint looks great ! I also love your paint stand. : )
  22. You nailed it ! Very nice work !
