Little T, big wheels

[CB]

Oh u want to know how to saty away from the hobby shop. There are 2 ways. One let the air out of your cars tires or 2 look at the stack of models u still have to build . Thats how i stay away from the hobby shop. Just look through my collection and think why buy another. But if new nice kits comeout or i get old kits offered then i will buy those.

Thanks buddy! , but since I can't imagine either one of us lettin the air outa our own tires --I'll do yours and you can do mine! Deal? (at least that way yer old man can't get mad at you!)

well boyz & goilz, since Jairus was so kind to

give us all a root tootin tutorial on makin Zoomie

headers, I figgered I oughta give em a try.

Now I likes my heavy metal & hardcore real freakin

loud , and aint no way I gonna have no Zoomie

inkerferin with my musak, so I made these headers

to be collected into a big honkin (scale 8" )

straight pipe what's gonna hang from the headers

to the rear end

and then just for giggles I decided to open up the

grille shell and detail that a bit--big mistake!

Guess I keep fergittin that this is 1/32 scale .

At least I'm keeepin to my wantin to gluebomb it.

I did clean it up and 'welded' the radiator to it.

Pray that I get the other set of headers done coz

I perty sure I can start paintin then

and get this thing done!!

Well it's about time!,Yeeesh, I leave fer a week an you fall asleep! See how much you need me? Jus fo the limitless amounts of high energy enthusiasm fo this lil buggy build! The headers look GREAT! An now that you runnin a magneto you gots the ignition sistem near done! A really cool organtic purple color an you can call it da "Purple ######'n person Eat'r" I likeses it! You got any o' dem shrooms left?

[Guest Gramps-xrds]

You're gettin there bud. The headers are lookin pretty good. 1/32 is a small scale to try all the things you're doin, but you're doin a great job so far.

I got to hold the little dude when he was just bout 8 hours old. He looked at me, & I looked at him and we both said "WHOA!!!" Yeah, his mom, my dottr in law, won't even let me babysit him

coz she knows we're bad news when we're togetter

methinks it's one o dem Chinese Buicks George

[CB]

trimmed up the coat hanger headers coz I was thinkin

of usin some corrugated 'pipe' to direct the Caddy smoke

out back, but once I seen it up close like , I decided on

usin just big honkin straight pipe

started cleaning up the body more serious like and natcherlee,

just had to start some other little detail--a master cylinder fer

them 30'' rotaters , and since I'ma gonna be sprayin and brushin

differnt colors on that little body, I needed an edge fer the firewall,

so's I whacked a hunka .010 styreen and welded it in place, kinda

like the body wrappin itself around the firewall.

While it's settin up, I gotta go mow

[george 53]

worked my butt off today trying to make some

progress on this here Li'l T.

(sure didn't start out this way )

found a couple old ball pointy pens what looked

like good headlight buckets, so I whacked em

gotta get this done and move up to a bigger scale

almost sanded my pinkies off scratchin these here

head eim off lights

as ifn that wearn't bad enuff, just had to put little

curlycue brake lines on the scratchy master cyelinder

after setting the bug eyed rad shell in place, seen

it needed a hose, so grabbed a hunka sprue and

started carvin

then while tryin to work with the first set of headers,

they fell apart on me , but worked out fer the bests

coz I comed up with a mo better header systiem

fer makin the other set.

Man, I hopes tha's bout it fer the little old details

--I wantsta start paintin

[george 53]

Great idea fer them headlites ######'n.See how them shrooms kinda open up yer mind to new an wonderous ideas?The rad hoses look pretty good to, your onna roll ######'n, FULL SPEED(NOT THAT KIND!) AHEAD!!!!

[84vanagon]

OOH, better headers ######'n! But you'd better check the aim on the headlights, it'll never pass a state inspection that way!

[CB]

Got all excited this morning, coz I be finally

sprayin the Li'l T--

MAN, what a differnce paint can make!

after squirtin the chasssis, I reached for the board

with the wheels, ragtop, and body, on it so's I could

squirt them, and &^%**$ $#^%!!!!.....

I dropped it! breaking the windshield posts---

&^%**$ $#^%!!!!.....

might just hafta chop it.....
