Are you planning on building the Lightning stock? Cuz I could really use the rear bumper!

I'm not sure what I'm doing with that one just yet and I haven't even opened it yet to check it out yet.

Hmm, destroy the Taurus for a movie car. Could it be "Road Trip" when the car blew up??

[Jordan White]

Actually I was thinking of making it the Taurus from Days of Thunder when the guys were beating up the rental cars

Pssh, convert it into a wagon so you can make the Griswold's car from Christmas Vacation!

Just got back from a shopping spree - picked a can of Duplcolor Chrome paint, .062 rosin core solder for headers, and a 4 pack of Perfect Pearls. And the rest of the paver bricks just arrived - we're refinishing the inside of the pool and covering the deck with the paver bricks.

Also got a call abck from the Census Bureau. Looks like I'll be starting to work for them part time next week.

That would be the next level. I can turn what I have into a CNC, which has been a consideration. I need to use it a while and get a guage for it's limitations.

You can turn pretty much anything into a CNC now days, with a set of steppers, a controller, a PC and some software.

Just picked up the Revell '72 Hurst Olds 442 drop top and the AMT '62 Cat SD421 "Farmer" reissue, and I just ordered an IH Metro from Motor City Resin Casters!

[rustybill1960]

The Tijuana Taxi from Johns Hobby Shop last week and a resin 2010 Firebird from Jimmy Flintstone just today, got the donor kit, the concept camaro, a couple of weeks ago.

I am thinking of heavily weathering the taxi as if it were a daily driver. Read about a '70 Firebird in Hemmings Muscle Magazine a few months ago that would suit the '10 perfectly.

I am getting itchy for some plastic, later guys

[Blake Rogers]

Highway 61 diecasts are really nice! you definitely got a sweet deal there too.

Dave

thanks dave some goof ball at the LHS asked me if am taking them out of the box i looked at him and walked away
