  1. I've done that before, and just primed over it with DupliColor primer without it harming the glue..........
  2. I really like this build.............
  3. One is the..... wait, should I do it..... nah, not this time.
  4. Bill, that last one made me giggle............
  5. I look at craigslist a lot for the SoCal area ( that's where all the cool cars are... ), I see a bunch of them Mini'd there.... or worn out, like you said.
  6. Coolest Mom ever...... Mine didn't mind me having them. There was also a magazine called 'Cracked', that was similar to Mad, but was a bit more "vulgar" and not as much "tongue in cheek" humor as Mad....... Mad was so much more well written.
  7. The best little truck I've had was an '83 s10 single cab short bed with a V8 (it was a 305...). It would have eventually gotten a 350, but I ended up needing to sell it...... They can be found pretty cheap here, since there's so many of them.
  8. Cool, Greg man.... Thanks for that link! From what I can gather, the transfer case would have to come from an Astro van, they're single speed..... There's other minor differences, too, it seems....
  9. Hey, guys..... I've got a few questions about the S10 pickups. I look at the ones for sale on Craigslist a lot.... There's as many 4WD ones as there are 2WD. Generally, I don't really care for 4WD, as I have no real world need for it. So I tend to pass over the ones that aren't 2WD. Then I got to thinking, the Syclone that GMC put out was "AWD", and was quite the performer. It being turbocharged was mostly responsible for that. They handled really well, also....... So, my question is..... could I take a 4WD S10 and make it perform like the AWD Syclone? Minus the turbo, of course. The handling would be what I was after..... The truck would eventually get a SBC engine, so I would most likely get one that had the 4.3, so the conversion would be that much easier......
  10. Thank you so much, John! I did do a WIP thread on this one...... here's the link to it.......... It shows that the work put in was a better quality than the finished piece ended up being......
  11. ........ and may all your Peeps be yellow!
  12. Thanks a bunch, Fellas! It does look a bit better in person than in the pics.....
  13. I'm almost ashamed to even show this one! This build kinda fought me in pretty much every way it could..... Not my finest moment. The dash popped out of position once I had it pretty much together, meaning I had to take it back apart. The clear didn't stick, so everywhere I had to trim foil on the body, I lifted the clear when removing excess foil..... Anyway, after a failed and redone paint job on top of all that, this one can call itself done!
  14. I'm sure he's still reading on here, even if he can't really participate........ At least he knows there are folks who are concerned........
  15. Album collecting as a hobby is still going strong, with many artists releasing things on vinyl.
  16. I'm like that with every new game I get! Especially anything driving........
  17. Cheeses like smoked gouda are really good with pastrami...
  18. Police it like you do alcohol and you could make it legal everywhere.
  19. Happening kats are what ruled the era of funk......
  20. Cousin in law is what folks around here should call each other.......
  21. Say that five times fast! (that, that, that, that, that.....)
  22. Are you implying that not everyone deserves a trophy?
  23. Here's a version of Pipeline I'm willing to bet you haven't heard........
  24. Les, man.... I FINALLY got around to ordering Gran Turismo 4 for my PS2! Ordered it yesterday, it should arrive Thurs or Friday. Can't wait to try it out........
