one of my "if i was rich" items

70% scale p-51d mustang replicas are teh sex … omfg yea

thats cool but I would rather get a real one with the V12 Merlin in it.

I would never feel safe depending on a big block chevy to keep me from becoming hamburger

I like the proportions of the Full size P51 much better

The 70% repro looks kind of gimpy…

makes me feel like this:

id go new school instead of an allison or merlin, theres a few v12’s that would probably leave you with a more realistic sound … jag, lambo, ferrari or bmw …

or this i guess is an option : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUGATTI-EB-110-QUAD-TURBO-V12-ENGINE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46093QQitemZ4594349447QQrdZ1

an aircraft motor is not a car motor… I would never stuff anything designed for a car into a aircraft…

mmmmm, WWII fighters…

how about a brand-new FW-190, german made?

slide show on restoration, very cool

holy shit i loved that show

when they brought up one of the guns, strapped it to the snowmobile and peeled the 55 galon drum open with it from 50 fet away, hell yes

p51’s are such a secksy looking aircraft

I’d prefer a heavy bomber…B-17 preferably…but i’d settle for a B-24…or even a lancaster.

as for fighters…give me a corsair

a corsair would rock, as long as the wings folded like they should

and since this is my “if i was rich” thread … ill say this

i wouldnt keep it air an airfeild, id build an extra tall garage at my house, make sure the plane fired up FAST … and only only it in or out at 430 am :slight_smile:

think my neighbors would figure out that the black marks on the street were from a fighter plane landing ?

My neighbor has a plane, over the summer they were doing some engine work and chained the plane to a tree and powered it up. It got quite windy behind it…

lol that would be sweet as hell

Pipe dreams…

Shit, I just want to build one of those personal helicopters in the back of popular science/mechanics magazines…

5 horse Brig’s and Strat BiTcHeZ!!

the slide show was pretty kool :tup:

F22accordvtec’s moms bf is building a plane in the basement

omfg is so sexy w/ its shiney aluminium wings

i so want to steal it … but dk how the fuck i would get the fuse up the pasement stairs alone … lol

See, its like I’ve been telling you guys. Mustangs are the shit…hehe

little known fact - the car was originally named for the plane, not the horse.

luckily its none green, i remember you saying something about the green mustangs are junk

dude, if i was gonna build a flying machine thats powered by a 5 hp brigs, its not gonna be a personal heli … jesus tap dancing christ

5 hp engines belong in 1/4 scale rc planes !

and i knew the car was named for the plane :slight_smile:

the horse on the cars grill is also running the wrong direction from a racetrack grandstands perspective if i remember correctly

Yeah only faggots have green Mustangs. Stupid shit dicks!!!

82% scale F4U-1A corsair in the works
