Danno Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The fact that this has 3 pages is retarded. Who cares? Getting defensive and arguing about something so petty is ridiculous. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to scratch paint my model bashed Mustang II street rod touring dragster. Whose opinion are you calling retarded? Besides, these are models. What does timing have to do with anything? There is no 1/25 scale gasoline to run them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Don Koolkat Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 First time I ever heard the term was via the IPMS. I never heard it back in the fifties/sixties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps2u Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'd love to jump in on this one, but I'm too busy kitbashing my scratch-built rat rod model kit. David G. Oh now you went & gone & stirred the pot! To your corners! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) There's another old term from the model RR days, kitmingling, means the same thing, never really caught on, and I don't like it any better than "bashing". When you build a 1:1 hot-rod out of unrelated, junk-yard parts, it's not called car-bashing or junk-bashing.

Jantrix Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 "kitmingling" Sounds kinda dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps2u Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I picked up the term "Kit bashing" from back in the 1960's modeling magazines. Heard it so much and stuck . Now I R one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarf Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This is a kitbash... I used the JoHan Heavenly Hearse, the interior parts, and custom body parts from a JoHan '66 Cadillac convertable kit, the steering wheel from the Elvira '58 Thunderbird kit, added the tubs, tires, and rear suspension from the Revell '67 Chevelle Pro Street, the wheels and front tires from the Revell '55 Pro Sportsman. that is one sweeeet kitbash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Me? I'm more of a parts box build kinda guy! I remember when I was a bit younger and someone would describe parts on their model as "from the parts box" and I'd wonder how they didn't remember what kit that the parts were from... now I get it!
