Hey folks, I've been thinking about starting this topic for a while. Seeing some more of you guys' incredible work lately has spurred me on to actually do it. I've searched around, and so far I haven't found an existing thread, but if there is one already I apologize.

So rules are:

1. Post images of parts you've scratch built, be it an oil filter or an entire car. A short description of each part would also be helpful

2. Have fun

3. Please refrain from debating about the scratch built/kit bashed thing here

4. Have more fun

5. If you believe your part to be scratch built, then please post it

6. Have even more fun

7. If you believe a particular part to not be scratch built, then please smile, scroll on, and enjoy your day

8. You're not going to believe it, but you need to have more fun

Sorry about the lengthy list of rules, but it really is important to have fun :D Enjoy the eye candy people :D

Can't wait to see all the amazing things you guys have made :)

Okay, I'll play. We should see some cool stuff in this thread.

SM465 and NP205, all scratch'd with the exception of 2 small considerably modified bits of kit parts on the transfer case (you can see the leftover chromey bits on them). Just to be clear, it's the stuff behind the bellhousing.

GM Heavy Duty steering knuckle and axle housing (3rd member is a kit part).

72Blazer_Dana44_HDknuckle_01-vi.jpg

Everything out to the backing plate is scratched on this one...axle, spindle, steering arm, rod ends, etc.

Red41Willys_04-vi.jpg

Everything on (and including) this frame, except for the 3rd member. But you can barely see that sticking out in front of the housing, so we'll just say the whole thing. :D

Dodge_Flip_RearEnd_22-vi.jpg

How 'bout a scratch'd pickup box for a 1/8 '32?

1_8_32Ford_49-vi.jpg

Or an interior for the same?

Or some injection for a 409. Technically this isn't entirely scratch'd...it has 3 PE pieces. :P

The center cross member was all scratch built with the exhaust also being done. Each of the exhaust clamps was also scratch built and bolted in place. 387863_4481601571929_580310307_n.jpg

The spline rear swaybar and rearend is all scratch built, The center pig was put into resin so it could be a better working part with the brass and plastic to emboss the work. The only thing on this model so far that is a (Kit) part was a frame, Windows and interior tub. Every thing els is being scratch built or put into resin so it can be changed and then made to what is needed on the car.

You can go over and see it being done under "Runt"

The Intake Manifold and Throttle Body for my '66 Mustang Pro Mod project. Built from Styrene tubing and sheet styrene.

P9290011-vi.jpg

The Scoop for my '59 Simca Gasser, scratchbuilt from sheet styrene. Otherwise the engine is NOT scratchbuilt. ;)

P7240201.jpg

The Pro Charger and its pipings are scratchbuilt from Solder and plastic (Plastic is used for those welding-seams). Also the headers are scratchbuilt from solder. That engine will be in Fox Mustang.

I'll add to the mix.

This chassis is scratchbuilt from styrene tubing with a few small aluminum pieces thrown in for good measure.

DSC04495-vi.jpg

Same build has a scratchbuilt wheelie bar assembly, made from styrene and aluminum tubing and four link rods and front brackets. The remainder of the rear suspension is resin cast, kitbashed parts and ballpoint pen springs.

DSC04936-vi.jpg

Another scratchbuilt chassis for a second build. This one also has some added photo-etch pieces attached.

DSC00505-vi.jpg

Same build also has a scratchbuilt wheelie bar setup made from styrene tubing and small sheet pieces. The rear end itself is more resin.

DSC00518-vi.jpg

This chassis is scratchbuilt for a wheelstander project.

DSC01247-vi.jpg

The wheelie bar assembly is also scratched minus the kitbashed crossmember piece.
