Gar, Color me "d'oh" as well... :freak:

I'll have Robin steal a fin outta my wallet and send it!

I forgot mine at first too, but I remembered before I sent the package... so I cut a slit in the botton of the box and lid it through, then resealed the box. I hate packing somthing up nice and tight, only to reopen it because of my "cheeseheadedness"

Thanks...I don't feel like such a mooch now. It's soooo embarrassing. :freak:

not a biggy guys, don't worry about it, if you forgot you forgot.

Hope no one forgets to put the car in the box. :freak:

Great, I got shipping for Christmas, guess i can save it and use it for next year's car swap. :devil: rr

Gary,

Dave

Those are all very cool! Is that a Mad Max car? wow.

"Black on Black" (actual name of car)

Main Force Police- Pursuit/ special

73' XB Ford Falcon

"Last of the V8 interceptors"

Resin cast I found on the bay a few months back...blower and pipes from a hot wheels nash metropoliton funny car donor...blower mounted through hood properly..not glued on...

Chassis is a Super G+...been broken in...and been broken...but it's fast as hell..seemed appropriate....couldnt picture a pursuit special on a T-jet....heh..

It has the SG whine that almost sounds like a blower....

I used a full clip to mount it to beef up the body a bit...the body can be taken off...but be very gentle...and really....it should run forever any ways...

I did forget to put a new set of pickup shoes on it <------ dummy...

The paint is rough as I only had brushes and some model paint to work with...

No glass...(couldnt get it to look right)....

I was pretty happy with the results all in all.....there is no mistaking the car for what it is if you've ever seen one...

Some of my racing buds got quite a chuckle out of seeing it...

She dont corner so hot...but she's fast as hell...dont be afraid to play with it...

I have another body...just waiting to come across the right donor... :cool:

Too cool of a car not to do again... ;)

Oh my, this is going to be a great Christmas!

:thumbsup:

Merry Christmass whom ever gets it! :wave:

Mine is the PT Cruiser. It's all plastic body and it sits on a customized Bachmann chassis with silicone tires. It's fast, will kick the butt of most T-jets. The body will also sit perfectly on a t-jet chassis, should the owner want to swap it out.

Merry Christmas!

Jim

I see 16 cars in that bunch. Nice looking bunch of Zilla snack waffers they are.

Joez look a pink Willys Convertible! A mullet dude would fit right in there along with some hot Hooters Babe also.

An-tis-the-pation.....it's making me way-way-way-wait. Going back for another looksky...Oooooooooooh soooooooooooooo pretty Ooooooooooooooooooh yeah baby!

Ooooooooooooh Nooooooooo here comes Godzilla to check them Out....he is hungry for fresh paint -n- plastic! Run...................run...............run everyone!

Bob...zilla

..Snip....The pickup and surf boards... Oh my, this is going to be a great Christmas!


This is a resin Bodied Tjet. It is based on the Hotwheels Deora with the Penn Valley silicone tyres. The chassis is new and fresh from the box. Though is it speedy, it could use the usual massage to the drive-train. Merry Christmas & have FUN! :thumbsup:

wesjy - tyco ultimate police car painted in neon green with "hemi hauler, hemi, black stripes and #9 decals - should know better that most of you dont collect tyco like i do.. its sitting on 440x2 tyco with yellow good year lettered tires. if you have extra rooflight lying around - there is two holes on top untouched. i didnt have any left.

Hope someone here is a mopar and a tyco guy that will receive this car .. merry christmas!!

Wes

Mine is the yellow Corvette C5R right under the Sizzler package. This is my own resin design. I don't think anyone has done the C5R yet. I did this 3 years ago. It is mounted on a Tyco Pan chassis with Pattos decals. This was one I did for myself and has been in my case for a few years. Thought someone would appreciate it. As a detail, it has BBS photoetch wheel inserts. I think it looks cool. Hope someone else like's it?

Gary

Hey, Ed!
A bunch of us were chatting last week (wed night) a bit about our christmas cars. Which one is Boss9s? He wouldn't say too much and any of several could be his. It is driving me nuts!

Which one IS from Boss?...

Mine is the NSU TT and it was cast by Claus Heupel. Its on a tjet chassis that had its gears lapped, has JW DF aluminum press on hubs, Thunder Brushes, BSRT shoes, Penn Valley rears, .350 JW washer fronts, and all copper components are polished. The bod itself is something new to me, due to the fact that it does not utilize a rear post. Claus casts this one with a tab inside the rear of the body that inserts into the gap between the top gearplate and the bottom chassis. All in all its a pretty well behaved tjet. nuther dave

you see, this is why I didn't want to post early pics.
Boss car arrived saturday morning around 11am (about 1-1/2 hours after I posted the pic). First class, with a beautiful "received damaged" sticker on the busted up box. They must have felt the need for a soccer game before sending it.

:( .... I hope the contents are okay... I have such issues with ALL of the delivery entities. I always have high anxiety as I hand off a shipment to any of the carriers. IMHO overkill and redundant packaging is a must. nd

I have seen this problem before, whenever you do a custom car that has glued on pieces, strapping inside an autoworld jewel case offers no protection, it is still subjected to jolts and hard hits.
I had a Dragula car from Gearbuster come to me in 4 pieces.
Light packing on the car itself helps, I will pack the Boss car in cottonballs to make sure it makes the trip to ___________'s house safely . ahh the mystery.

Ed's trying to be sneaky eh?... Who is in the exchange AND has a name that ends with apostrphy "s"? .....We could figure this out I think!!! nd

Well, Crap, Ed! The postal service sucks sometimes but you could put the bits back on with some more glue and take a pic, yeah? :thumbsup: Just add the pic to the same post!

We all know how cool Boss9s stuff is, especially when in CHAT he bandies about words like "over the top" and "neat effects" and "accidental brilliance".

Come on! We want to see his piece too! :thumbsup:

Mine's the creamy yellow stock AW GTO. Hard to part with!

It sits on on an Ultra G Chassis. The clown gear drive has been replaced with brass t-jet goodies and lapped in. The armature is the best of the batch I had...a nice naturally ballanced unit. Wobbler rims were replaced for good straight ones. Tires are trued PVT's all around. P/U shoes and springs adjusted for stutterless operation up to 22 volts.

Now a joy to drive...even harder to part with!

And Joez, I'm a step ahead of you. I have Boss's picture in the camera downstairs. I'll post it later on.

I miss the Nomad already....Cry....Whaaaaah.....whaaaaah....

Hope the new owner likes it....Those sparkles are glitter and the first Glitter paint job I ever did. Whaaaaaaah.......whaaaaaah

The decals are from a 60s vintage Green Hornet 1/24 model kit of my Dads (I got all his old decals....Yes) Some still work and some just fall to pieces. I don't know till I try them.

The base paint is Metalic Red and then the green, silver and gold glitter was applied over that with a final coat of Transparent Candy Apple Red. Decals are sealed with several coats of Future.

These steelie rims are from a JL pull back White Lightning chassis and are molded in white plastic. Then rears were drilled carefully and put on AFX axle. Front rims were left on the JL axle.

Detailed the pipes and headlights and stopped there before I messed the darn thing up.

Big Boss car

OMG! :D :D

That car is freaking awesome!:thumbsup:
Coolant leak and ....tranny fluid?.....oil?...Tyre marks!..... :D
Eddy.....look what you've done to your race car!

Boss, it looks like it was a "masking" nightmare, but so cool!


The song "Panama" comes to mind!


Uh!
Oh yeah!
Ah-huh!

Jump back, what's that sound?
Here she comes, full blast and top down
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Model citizen, zero discipline

Don't ya know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her!

Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama

Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the movin' parts clean
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue
Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom

Don't you know she's coming home with me
You'll lose her in that turn
I'll get her
Uh-oh!


Panama, Panama
Wow!
Panama, Panama
oh-oh-oh-oh
Woo!

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off
You know what I'm sayin'
Ahh, I reach down between my legs n' ease the seat back

She's runnin', I'm flyin'
Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

Panama, Panama
Panama, Panama
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Panama, Panama
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Panama!

Sacrilege! That be the archrival of Porsche, a Ferrari 512!

JL XT chassis with matched magnets, buffed gear train, gel claw rear tires, and staggered fronts to offset a slightly warped chassis. one of the fastest Xtraction chassis I had after tuning over 50 of them.

Hey Wes,

Knew that was your car right off the bat. I like some Tyco cars (for display & running) and that one looks fun! :woohoo: Have a bunch of them that see track time on my layout. Like to launch them some times also via pull full throtle....he,he,he

Mopar...yeah I like Mopar! First 1/1 car was a 72 Duster and later on had a Yellow 74 Dodge Dart with the half black vinyle top, sunroof and black swoosh stripe. Did I mention it also had a 360 that came from my Step-Fathers Mopar crazy racer friend. 1974 was the first year the 360 was offered for a car. Before that the 360 only saw Pickup trucks and the sorts. Vroooom, Vrooooooooooom, Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeatch!!!!

Dang quad-ra-junk carb stuck and my Dart was left stalled on a main road with the hood up and Hazards on. Went to call a tow truck as even my trusty Screwdriver could not open it up this time. Heard sirens on the way back from making a phone call for a tow. Dang VW bug rear ended it on a uphill incline and totaled it out. Rubber skid marks all the way up the hill. That bug must have been flying....why? Was just getting ready to put a new Carb on the thing....oh dang. The frames on those cars were not that strong and the back end was crumpled like an Aluminum can. :cry:

Funny thing was I also had just sold my 72 Super Beetle a few months back. Ended up with a 51 Willys Pickup with a Ford 289 and original rear gears. Top speed was about 55...whining all the way. My Dad helped me get a 74 International Pickup with low miles because he didn't think my Willys would be very good transportation as I was just getting ready to start HVAC trade school. My Grandfather and him painted it up real nice Metalic Blue center stripe and white on the top and bottom. Dang....I was ripping through vehicles back in the 80s. LOL

Mopar....yeah I like Mopar, Chevy, Ford, VW....why limit yourself to one make of car. Yugo...Bleck!

Bob...zilla

All cars where mailed out yesterday (monday) around noon, shipped priority.

It's a Bachmann car, similar to a tjet, but a little faster.

oh ok .. its new to me - i ll try it on my track and see how it goes.. thanks man!

Wes

Wes,

Never had a t-jet...................WOW! Well I never had Piper-Cub so, O.K.

Bob...zilla

(I got all his old decals....Yes) Some still work and some just fall to pieces. I don't know till I try them.

Bob...zilla

Hey Bob,
I saw this on the Modeling forum awhile back. For older decals, try a coating of clearcoat over the decal sheet. After they setup, use them as you normally would. Cut/trim out the decal of choice, give it a soak, then apply. Once set up on the model//car, you can clearcoat again. The poster cited the enamel Krylon clearcoat as his coating of choice. Others also stated that they had used others such as the cheap one from Wally world. I have tried this on some older Patto's decals that went south and had great sucess salvaging the remaining pieces on the sheet.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Dave

That Bachmann is no regular Bachmann... I opened that baby up big time. It should CRUSH all tjets for mles around. The body also sits perfectly on a t-jet chassis too.

I got the pink cool Willy's Rod... sweet!

Thanks!

Don't worry, Bob.
I'll take great care of it, hey! (I've had a spot saved in my jebus case, right next to Coach's 962 since the last Christmas swap. )

This Nomad is a real beauty! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I hope it doesn't get too scuffed up when I run it, Bob.
It is just too cool to not* run!

Thank you for building such a beautiful piece!

Merry Christmas! :wave:

Very Cool!! Thanks for this very cool Neon Green Charger #9. I love it! Merry Christmas to all.
