I have been working on this for a few weeks now.

1/16 Minicraft 31 Ford Roadster building it pretty much box stock except for a little engine detailing.

This is my off and on project which i'm still gathering parts for.

1/16 Minicraft 31 Ford sedan, i cut 1/4" out of the roof but not sure if that was enough yet i might cut it apart and take a little more out yet.

Plan is for a Hemi, a suicide front end and drop it down in the weeds!

yes, great kit.... but the resin doors are too small, and one was slightly warped, so I have some work ahead of me

also, got the supercharger, fuel rails and air intake mounted. in the home stretch now!

Did you make the supercharger? , I am going to try and do twin turbo set

Hey, I didn't even notice the tank when I was looking earlier. I've got a 10 gallon saltwater in my hobby room right now. Like cobraman said, what kind of fish you got???

You having good luck with a 10 gallon salt water tank ? Salt water normally is a lot larger than a 10 gallon is it not ?

It is, this is just a quarintine tank with some weird black slug sort of thing that came from the live rock, I've got a 90 gallon I'm setting up in the living room. There are a lot of people that have small salt tanks like this one, but you have to stay on top of taking care of it, changes happen fast with that small of a tank.

90 gallon is a nice size tank. I work at a Petco store and spend a lot of my time in Aquatics. I have a small 16 gallon bow front that I still need to set up. What fish do you plan for the 90 gallon ? I bet a Yellow Tang is on your list. Those are so cool.

its a 20 gal freshwater community tank with 2 bala sharks, 2 leapord angels, and 4 mollies. i also have a 5.5 gal seperate tank for my crowntail betta. the running water and model glue keep me serene......LOL the angel fish are named bandit and snowman, after my favorite movie SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT!

I would love to get a yellow tang, I'm still debating on if I have enough room for one in a 90, some say its ok, others say you need 120+ for one. I definitely want a couple clownfish, a purple firefish, possibly a couple yellow headed jawfish, and I don't know what else. A mandrin fish would be cool, but that ones gotta wait for awhile.

Hey, if you guys want to come over and get your OCD impulses out on my hobby room, that would be cool. It needs a serious straightening up!
