magicmustang Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Still have a SAE mag from Oct 1990 with Doug Whyte's build of a 1969 NASCAR Dodge Daytona. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=264141 Edited September 6, 2021 by magicmustang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I know most everyone in video so it was a treat to see them all. Doug’s intent is to record folks in the hobby for the future. Unfortunately his prophecy came too quick, Ted Chopper Lear has already passed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Payne Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I saw Doug's 1953 Studebaker at the NNL Est meet. I also bought a second copy of Scale Auto with this model as the center fold, which now hangs over my workbench for inspiration. Not only is it one of the most amazing models, I would love to see a full size one. Doug's podcast is great- I look forward to many more!

I need to find pics of that again so I can look it over again! What is the podcast called? I did a quick google but didn't immediately find it...

1930fordpickup Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I may not know the names but many of the faces from the Toledo show I do know. I am glad we have a chance to see Ted now that he passed. What a nice man he was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 I’m looking forward to the Ted Lear episode - I always enjoyed seeing his work and wish I’d had the chance to meet him. Meanwhile, new episode! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Another great video. Jim, I meet Ted in Toledo in the late 90's. He was very helpful, even though he did not know me from Adam. I had no idea who he was until I seen the name on his car that I told him was awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been hunting for pics of his work, but they’re hard to find, sadly. I guess he posted mainly on Scale Auto, back when that was a thing. If anyone knows if he had a Fotki or a Photobucket, I’d love to know about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I had no idea we could sand blast our models. After seeing it done you wonder why I didn't think possible long ago. Great information watching him on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been experimenting (casually) with a kid's rock tumbler that I got at the Goodwill for a couple of bucks to do a similar thing (but with less mess). Seems to work ok, but the motor is dying on it so I need to find another to continue my experiments... I love that metal front axle he'd put together! Way cool!

SCRWDRVR Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I need to watch that video when I have a chance, I have a Paasche air eraser that I have had for years, I've always used it to etch glass but never thought about using it for models... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I know both Doug and Rick, in fact I just saw them both in September. I remember at the last Toledo NNL when Doug and his son were taping the interviews for this new series. I watched the interview with Steve Hinson with a tear in my eye. When we saw him in Toledo, we had no idea it would be the last time. I'd see Steve at national events like NNL and GSL, and we'd talk NNL issues. So sad to lose him. And this is why the work Doug is doing now is so important! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
