Yes, I think Tyco has sold more Corvettes than GM.

You're way more organized than I am!!! I'm working on what little space i have left on my computer desk!!! And I don't dare straighten it up... I have a "system"!!!!! Until I find out the kids rifled through it looking for as they say "nothing" when I can't find "something"!!!! Hard to believe a little box like that makes such big phographic magic!! Lookin' good!!!

The shop is neat lots of detail like the fridge.. And the way some of the cars have that burning the midnight Oil look to get them fixed.
or in my case the 710 look a blond thing .. l.o.l.

The trailer park is neat.Lots of imagination on this thread.

Thanks Folks,

Big Al had a bad night at the track.

He backed it into the wall on the front straightaway on the last lap of the main.
Needless to say, he had a few words for the guy who helped him get there.
He was third in the points.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/56/92740da9360c4dd0b786afce175eb5af/l.jpg

He wants me to fix it. I don't really want to, but he hauls a lot of stuff for me.
He'll have to pull out the ol' Nova for this week.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/28/658248f6833841f29e864c984b1a3faf/l.jpg

The back end is all tore up. The frame is tweaked, his cheater rear end housing is cracked, the cheater gears inside are chipped, those are connected to his cheater tranny and motor with a cheater intake(man, it 'looks' stock). It's not really cheater because all the other guys are running the same stuff. They never really policed the parts well at that track, but, for some reason, the police are always needed there!

Sorry to see Big Al's car all smashed up. But, I think "Sparky" will cut that tweaked sheet metal off and have it all shiney and new in no time.

Keepin it real Rich!

Yer shop is the groddiest...luv it! Looks like home to me.

Poor Al!!! At least he has the tool time road show van there at the shop loaded with every possible tool needed to fix his ride!!! And cook himself a nice big juicy steak on the built in grill!!! That was an awesome episode if you missed it!! And the shop (other than Al mis-adventure) is looking great!!!! Looking good!!! :thumbsup:

Guess who stopped by the shop today for a tune up? AWESOME BILL :woohoo:

This was a custom I did in 96. It's seen alot of racing and crashing.
The waterslides are a little chipped, but, one coat of Future, and it's lookin like a new car again!

Fall is here getting cool so made a shirt for your guy.:)

Thanks for the shirt Pearl!

Well, the season is winding down and the Outlaws are coming to Devils Bowl near Dallas.
So I brought out my sprinter to see if I could enter it on this stop.

http://a3.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/28/3ff2ca14230e42568aa48b04d73b6b23/l.jpg

It's an old indy car that wasnt the right shade of blue to be a petty car, so I chopped it up to make this sprinter.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/24/9dab6eb1d507494fa720b56eda64da2f/l.jpg

I guess it was some sort of mistake by the factory to make it in dark blue,
or maybe they didn't have the rights to the color that year or something. Anyways, it runs pretty good now.

Rich,

Ha,haah,ah,ah,ah,aah Pearl is making shirts for you now...that is to funny.:lol:

Love coming here to see all the neat shop pics and cars you have. The Indy Sprint car is just plain Kewl. The flames on the red with the white stripes just say drive me and make these knobby tires kick up some dirt.

That Neon yellow guy looks sweet also. Don't let Al drive em'!

Bills Coors car is old school racing back when race cars were race cars not Clone cars.

Bob...pretty soon you are going to need a stocking cap also...zilla

the dark blue stp indy body made by tyco - it was not a mistake .. its the most rarest indy body of all!! last time i saw on epay it was like 500 bucks for it.. i am not trying to make you feel bad.. if the body was already broken then whew..

WORD. Those are very hard to find. Guess you have the world's most expensive Indy / sprint car custom. :lol::eek:

It's supposed to be the Gordon Johncock Indy car from 1982 when he just pipped Rick Mears for the win, by the way, not The King's car.

I bet the competition's eyes drop when you bring that out on the track!!! That's one expensive dirt tracker!!! RM

Rich,

You should sell it man & then with all the DO-RAY-ME you get from it you can buy more stuff to build with.

Or just keep it?

Either way it is very cool man. I don't know beans about Tyco cars worth and could easily chop a Rare one up myself.

Now AFX colored plastic I know a little about. :)

Bob...blue by me too...zilla

Man, that's what I love about HT. Everyone gets in on a joke!!! Ya'll ARE kidding right?

Rich

HaHa - 'fraid not Rich. You screwed the pooch on this one, unfortunately.

I'm glad to see "Sparky" is finally wearing a shirt.:) Guess some of those pieces of hot metal coming off the grinder finally singed his nips.:rolleyes:

Well, my wife says she likes MINE better!!!!

(I think shes just trying to make me feel better :( )

Rich, You have a cool and very unique looking sprint car. Yeah, you could've gotten some bones for the original body of fleabay but then you wouldn't have your killer spint car. You dared to be different and it turned out good. Rock on and forget about what might have been. Tyco! :drunk: :hat: :freak: :dude:

Well, I'm willing to part with it for HALF PRICE, so send me a PM. The first $250 gets it!

Rich

Uh, You take half a check??? RM

I'd almost have half a mind to buy it, but my other half wouldn't let me if I could!! :tongue: Do you still have the "other half" of the car and has anyone come up with blue tyco goop yet??

NutherJoe

Well, Al took his Nova to the track this weekend. He took third overall at DFW Friday night, and won the feature Last night at HighPointe. He just HAD to bring it by this morning to show me what a winning car looks like.

Rich,

I love the pics and noticed that your air compressor lines even got wrapped up later on.

Those Camo #5s are a nice touch. You shop diorama just makes for Super Cool pics. :cool:

Bob...Novas Rule...zilla

Thanks Bob,

Al's Nova ran so good this weekend, it made him wonder why he built a new car for this year.
He said it was like an old pair of sneakers. This one just hooks up better in, and off the corners.
Funny thing is, Sparky was already done with the Chevelle.

http://a3.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/59/70c49ccdc9a5428f87e35ee2f65cb31a/l.jpg

Nice job straightening out the chevelle!!! You'd never know it was the same car!!! Now that Big Al has two raceable cars maybe he could put Tim in the spare..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=370097553621

That's if you can pry him off the super mower!! It's always cool to get a peek into your shop!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

UtherJoe

Great repair job on the Chevelle Rich. I too, am amazed at Sparky's work!!! Unbelievable!!! RM

Nice Chevelle :thumbsup::thumbsup: Tell Sparky "GOOD JOB" and to put his shirt back on LOL.

It's nice to see sparky is still hard at work!!! Hope Big Al loaned him a flannel or two!!! It's gotta get chilly even in Texas!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

It that the type case you referred to as in the "pressing your nose up to and dreaming"??? I'm sure I would be!!

UtherJoe

Rich,

Nice Parking garage and Monte stocker. Was thinking that if you put a 57 instead of 51 number on that red Monte it could get the Heinz 57 Sponsorship treatment. I love red & am thinking to much. Nice joby!

Bob...Lots of cool cars in that lot...zilla

Thanks guys!

These Monte Carlo bodies are out of Wisconsin. Thanks to Doba Engineering I can make my 78, 79 Nascar dreams come true! When I get done with this set, I'm going back for more. So, Doba, I saw in another thread you are experimenting with clear resin. How's that going?
