    Go back to the thread, click the edit ****on, go down to the "Go Advanced" & click it.
    You should now be able to edit the ***le.
     
  5. I think only a Moderator can change the ***le. I know I have never been able to do it.

    On a brighter note, those are some very nice builds. Are they chrome door hinges on the 39 coupe, and that first Chev man that is just perfect!!

    Doc.

    EDIT;
    OK, Don't listen to me, I am pretty good at being wrong!! Thanks for putting up the right answer Boldventure!! One day I am going to get my **** together.....one day......

  6. Well, it's easy to post up words and opinions so I guess I better post something to prove I know at least a little!

    Br*** ch***is with a 32 body made from the roof of a 3 window and the body from a 5 window. Not sure on what the power plant will be, just toying with a crank mounted blower.

    Here's another scratch build 1/8 scale sprint car I am finishing up right now. This will be the car Brady Short drove this year and won a bunch of races in. All the cars I build are from scratch, 100%. It's a fun way to spend my retirement time.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Great talent show folks. Someone mentioned details, you guys seemed to have found most of them.

    Old Sprinter the only thing missing is the flying dirt. You make some incredible racers.

    Really enjoy seeing the killer stuff you guys build. This is a 1/8 scale sedan that I am working on and someday will decide on a color and finish.
