Those aren't censor markings. They're OSHA mandated safety goggles in Safety Gnarley Black. It's almost as hard to find as Dupli Color's Orange Mist spray paint. Used only at the coolest of workshops... :drunk::hat::freak::dude:

Here's a Cobra Kit Car cruizer with a few modifications. Done a little detailing on the windshield, drilled out the sidepipes, cut the bumpers down for nerf bars, etc. and of course it had to be yellow!!! ... RM

That is a Cool looker as usual man. The painted window trim and removing all that bumper goobley goop in the front realy makes this look so much nicer.

Runnin' the yellow cars on yer yellow lane of coarse...nice!

Thanks again guys!!! The boys done a little work on this Charger. We added some round tubing to the bottom edge of the body to create some ground effects. Kinda added a little pazazz to it. Found some more Hot Wheel's chromes to fill in the gaps. Sorry Wes, I didn't have any Lime Green...RM

This one goes down in my "trickeration notations" list. I got a nickel that sez Randy thought the new Mopar was showing a bit too much of her panty lines.

Nifty trick for dropping the hem line Hilltop!

Tubular skirting...nice contour, cheaper than dirt, and easy to work with. :thumbsup:

Wes, The tubing is just white plastic styrene rod tubing made by Evergreen, I picked up at Hobbytown USA. They usually have a rack of various plastics. Try the 1/16 or 1/32. Makes great roll bars also. Just sand the bottom of the body for grip, prebend the tubing, then glue in place. The wheels are from a Muscle Car Garage Mustang I picked up at Toys R Us. RM

I've been tossing around the idea of doing the skirting thing too..but with colored fiber optic cable. I haven't tried it yet, but the lighter colors do leak a bit of light out the sides. I think a "neon" glow would be cool under the car!! When I get to this stage I'll let you know if it works... Of course, neon will look funny if it's the only thing lit up....

Used a little foil on the Blazer headers, to add a little bling, and a little flat black, to dot the exhaust opening. AFX 55 is running a T-Jet setup for a little weekend ground pounding. "Hey neighbor, could you keep the noise down a little???" ... RM

No doubt about it Hill.

I love the AFX style fiddy fie on the t-jet platform. Getting the meat tucked under and the butt dropped ever so slightly really looks sharp!

Thank you muches guys!!!

Bill, The trailer is an old kit from Racing Legends. Rich, the 55 is an AFX with standard issue blue tint windows, same as the hood scoop. You need to venture out, lol. TYCO's are great, but... Heads or tails Bob...always bet on black...zilla??? Shake the can HoJo, shake the can!!! Same here Sltman, what was AFX thinking with the butt all up in the air, although in the 70's that was the 1:1 style. The Nomad has a much better stance...RM
