Dr. Cranky Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Feeling a bit nostalgic this year about being away from the West Coast now for almost 25 years of my life, away from the car scene I grew up in and the surfin' scene in Southern Cal, so I am thinking a thread where we can post all things SUMMER would be cool. Of course, bring on the models, in particular those of you who've done surfing vehicles, but it could also include Dioramas, etc . . . Can you smell those burgers cooking? It's time to get tanned driving around that topless jalopy on the way to and from the beach . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've got nothing model related but this is a subject near and dear to my heart. How about my smoker I built ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartster Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) This should be a great thread, Doc! Hopefully it'll bring out some great woodies. I have one near completion & one on the drawing board. Surely there are more woodie fans out there? Edited June 6, 2012 by Bartster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 LOL, this is headed in the right direction. My 20 year old smoker has finally rusted through, so it is time to get another. I love cooking out and I don't do it often enough, and EYEGORE needs more BBQ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenrat Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Looking good. What's up with the paint on that Charger Junior? I've built a '68 which has cracked under the clear and looks similar! And while you're all enjoying summer bear us in mind down here please as we slide into winter. 13 degrees C today but it appears to have stopped raining. Strangly identical to Londons current summer weather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisdonm Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) I had thought of making my 39 Sports Wagon a surfin wagon. That will be another version. My mate in Australia made these surfboards for me. They are in transit right now. I am a Kansas City Barbeque Society certified contest judge. Tomorrow I go on safari to judge, and eat, BBQ Friday and Saturday. Edited June 7, 2012 by wisdonm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Nice boards. l'm from K.C. originally, wish l were there now! Not to fear, though. l brought all my recipes with me! Teaching Texans how to do REAL BBQ now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
