I got nuttin. words escape me right now

Momma taught me , if you cant say something nice. Say nothing at all. I'll shut up now

Any casters already make said part or willing to make some for me. ?

Something ive been pondering for some time now. Seems most mopar kits produced come with a Dana rear axle. And most of the kits i like to build had the 8.3/4 axle. So....... How would a newbie go about making copies of say maybe the rear axle from the amt 1971 Charger as an example . I think its the widest one avail so can be narrowed if the project needed it.

Looking real good. This kit is easily my favorite kit to build. as far as opening the hood vents is really not as hard as you might think A dremel on low speed is all thats needed, I did one several years ago , then used some scrap door screen I had around to fill the opening.

me to

Sweet, I used to do some work on one of these a few years ago. Neat cars for sure. Ive got the Heller kit of a similar car

Now theres an idea I never thought about. Ive been wanting to build his Comet flopper using one of my extra AMT Comet kits . Might have to build one chassis and switch bodies from time to time

Very VERY nice. especially the color combination. One question, But Im pretty sure the Challenger Deputy have fixed rear 1/4 windows

I built a early 30s kit several years ago for a friend. Used thread like this. Run it across a candle to take the fuzz off of it and it actually looks very accurate I have a 33 Chrysler Imperial kit I have on my short list and plan to do exactly this all over again , very soon

just in case it matters to you. but the T-Bolts had a black rubber floor covering , not carpet

Those look like a very nice option. Thanks for that. http://www.carneyplastics.com/home

An Excellent choice Probably my favorite kit to build. Ive got 6 of them done.

I went to the HL closest to me. Nothing was marked down. And said shelves were packed full of kits

Believe me. Ive given that some thought. But until we become empty nesters. Im out of other ideas. The cases im interested in are lighted. Plus I can run some auxiliary lighting there as well if needed. Im not so much concerned with seeing them up close. But more so get them out of boxes and displayed the best i can . At least for maybe a couple more years untill my girls leave home. After that one of the spare bedrooms will become office/ car room.

Back about 1979 or so. I worked in the lawn and garden dept and a local retailer. One day had to go load a couple bags of mulch for a customer. We walked up to a dark green Vega hatchback,,,maybe a 72 or 73 maybe .. I commented about the 5 lug rallye wheels and he just smiled. So we talked for a few minutes. Guys parents had bought it new and it was a hand me down to him with a very tired 4 cyl.. So he decided to turn it up a notch for a street toy. Turned out the car had a smog motor 454 stuffed in it. I remember he told me the car actually handled fairly well for being that nose heavy. Was actually very decent on gas. But,,,,,, was quite the handful if you even barely leaned on the gas to much,,. he said you better have it pointed where you wanted to go because you were gonna get there quickly. weird part is there was no huge tires under it ( maybe a G60-14 ) wasn't real loud when running. And just a small hood scoop to clear the carb and air cleaner.

Ya got me. Ive read thru the thread and Im still lost.

Ok, who can make me the decal to replicate this hood

The ledge in question. Locking it is of no concern to me A- its 7 ft above the floor B- no one will ever open it except me

Yes, the area I have avail is right at 4+1/2' feet tall. Ive been up on said ledge painting it so I'm confident it will handle the weight no problem

Ok, With us being in the new place. My old 5 ft tall cases are not going to work, as I simply do not have the floor space for them any longer I have an area above the family room ( I'll call it a ledge so to speak ) I was thinking either build glass shelving with glass front or buy some nice wall mounted cases. The area I have avail is approx 4.5" tall and maybe 20' in overall length. I'm thinking something like this as an example. Not cheap by any means . But I think these would work perfectly . And it doesn't have to be lighted. But I'm not against it either Based on this size , I need 2 ,,,maybe even 3 of these https://www.displays2go.com/P-33996/LED-Wall-Showcase-Locking-Doors

Luckily i had the opportunity to meet them all. Ronnie sox was my idol since i was a kid. Both Ronnie and Bob were very easy to talk to. Grumpy. Maybe i caught him on a bad day. But......he earned the nickname

Nice. Good color combo. I have a couple original issue SMP 61s on hand ,,,for that someday project

i know of a couple people that have met him. And all have said. he is a VERY down to earth. been told he LOVES to talk cars. no matter the year or brand He has been to several shows Ive been to at same time but never got a chance to meet him in person

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other what these buyers do with there purchases
