  1. Nathan friend, do you have any mechanical inclination at all? Is there a tech school you could learn some mechanical basics from? Stuff like brake pads and oil changes should be basic maintenance........ The only way to insure that something is done right is to do it yourself! Especially nowadays......
  2. Just finished another endurance race on my driving sim/game........... 1000km of Suzuka Circuit! I averaged about a minute-54 on most laps, with my best time being 1:52.020. Over five-and-a-half hours of driving.........
  3. Guys, I have these wheel sets I could barter with.........
  4. A little 273 would be cool............. With some decals, it could be a Formula S!
  5. Wet dogs smell worse after the bath.......
  6. Hygiene is a concept kind of lost on the hippies.........
  7. That would be awesome, Thank You............
  8. It does need to be clean, your substrate, or else you'll get fish eyes...........
  9. Best save room for dessert, as Thanksgiving is just a few days away..........
  10. That would still leave the axle on the ground......... I have some things that might interest someone to trade, if anyone has one of these laying around.
  11. Deer meat is good for you, as there's not any fat in it.......... When it's made into burger, the butchers usually add beef fat. Soaking it in vinegar water not only removes the gamey taste, it tenderizes it too! Deer hash is really good, just browned in a skillet with some onion......
  12. Down yonder on the Chattahoochie, it evidently gets hotter than the hoochie-coochie...........
  13. Hello, guys! Sorry to bother y'all again, but I have finally found a chassis for the ol' Dodge I'm working on...... The only thing is, the front axle is a dropped axle. The frame is from the '55 Chevy street machine kit. The axle has too much drop and is sitting on the ground. I was told the Cameo pickup most likely had a stock axle for the front, but I don't have one to reference...... The pic shows my problem........ So, does anyone know for certain that the Cameo axle is what I need? It can't be a straight axle, as that would raise it too much......
  14. The rear bumper will compliment the fins quite nicely! This is looking really cool, Les......... I think the rectangle headlights will be the way to go......
  15. The full Supermoon we're having was pretty spectacular last night.......... Had perfectly clear skies to see it.
  16. So do I........ Once in highschool art class, I wanted to build a kit as a project. The teacher said, "There's nothing creative about just building a model kit"........
  17. I had trouble with the same thing when I built mine, Mike.......... The kit is made to where you have to put the buckets in the front fascia before it's attached to the body. Once the fascia is on, then on go the lenses.......... Lots of opportunity to make a glue-bomb mess!
  18. Mike man! Tell me that you've built, or at least plan to build, a replica of your Turbo Coupe.......... It's a really good kit!
  19. You, Bill, are very wise..............
  20. Sounds like Bender from the show Futurama............
  21. I think before spam, there was this meat product called Treet....... My Mom used to cut the Treet up into chunks and brown it, then mix it into an egg noodle and cream-of-chicken soup mixture for us kids..... It was quite good!
  22. Reading around on this wonderful and very inspiring forum, I notice that most kit requests are for cars that, maybe, that person grew up with, or a car they may have owned in the past......... Some guys, however, ask for things like hyper cars and such, the types of cars that you'll usually only see on television. I like both..... cars that interest me are of the type that I know some about, AND those that I may never meet in person. In fact, I'm working on both a Coyote X replica (from the old TV show), and a Dodge pickup that resembles one I used to own........... I'll never be around a genuine Coyote X (I think there's only one 'beauty' car left), but the ol' pickup I'm pretty familiar with.......
  23. WolfMother! Good band............
  24. The D100 I used to own, the fuel tank was right behind the seat! You could hear it sloshing around behind you..........
  25. Carl, man.... I just saw him make a few posts.
