Spike Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) started workin on this rambler not too long ago too, doin some off the wall custom stuff on this it came with the hole in the hood, sure i coulda takin the easy way out and filled it, but wheres the fun in that? so im makin a clear one did the gas tank in chrome and i thought since i was doin a clear hood, why not do the trunk lid too, so to hackin i went again just gotta round out the edge n itll be done BTW anyone have taillights for this thing??

Spike Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 nother project im workin on, dodge monaco goon/joker car. was thinkin bout makin it a police car but i decided not too since i didnt like the chassis or engine bay, i found out a 70 super bee chassis and engine bay fit perfect, but i didnt have the firewall, radiator support/radiator or a rear axle, so Zuk sent me a parts car 68 road runner that uses the same chassis and engine bay as the 70 be so im using them parts from the RR and ive been slangin some plastic today too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 You're welcome, SPIKE. good to see them put to good use. You got some great builds going on. I can't till which one i want to see done first,. I like them all. The clear hood/trunk will be interesting. The Convertible GTX is cool (I got the diecast one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 thanks Zuk. the hearse will probably be done 1st as im buildin it for a buildoff on LIL. still tryin to figure out exactly what im gonna do on the bomba, its gonna be lime ice green from the testors laqure line, but im not sure if i should do the fenders black or a darker green, and have the motor the same color as the fenders or the main body color, i also wanna add a conti kit, so i gotta figure out what im gonna do there so the trunk will still open, and im thinkin bout opening the doors, but dunno if i will or not and if i do if i should have em open regular or suised,,,so many ideas!! and the rambler i think im gonna add t-tops and maybe a 70 super tail panel if i cant find taillight lenses for it. the drop top gtx will be good build. ive seen the die cast ones but didnt like em cuz of the lack of detail and they dont have the correct rims, i know that could be changed but itd still lack detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 ok i went and got some half round styreen for the vinyl top trim on the hearse, not sure what size would look best. top piece is .040" and the bottom piece is .060" also got the color for the bomba today too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 ive never liked the look of bombas on hubcaps, always though they looked best on spokes, or steelies wrapped in fat white if its got the "rat rod" theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 ive got the basic plan on how im gonna do it, and i got a chrome one that i had gotten a while back im using for mockups right now. beto has 2 that i want and i think ill use one on the plymouth. i think im gonna extend the bumper mounts and make the filler piece between the body and the bumper bigger so itll fit and look correct or close to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
