Re: What Type Of Nylon Is Used On AE Vehicles?

Im sure modern materials have advanced, but back in the day Daryl said they would mold a few different materials and take the wheels out back to the dumpster and chuck them as hard as they could to see if they could get them to break.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

My bearings arrived today in preparation for my Schumacher C2 Works build. You really can't appreciate how small they are until you see them in person.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?

Not 100% RC, but half lol. Decided to rearrange my collection cabinet. Until I gain an office back through a kid moving out (jokes on me I guess, we got one back from college instead!) :lol: So for now this is my allotted square footage for toy displaying! I added the 10L, Halsey and Nova Fox, so ex...

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!

Here is one of my better financial decisions. Bought this 1991 F150 2wd back in 2016 for $1500. Has 5.0 EFI, AOD Auto, 80K mi, porno red interior, and zero rust on anything. The 91 is the last of the F-series sporting no-airbag, no-ABS, and hi/lo dimmer on the floor. It was built with union pride i...

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!

That’s a nice truck, my dad had the long bed tan and brown version of that same truck. I want to say it was an 87 though. The build sounds like fun. Hard to find short beds at all, non the less rust free!
