am73grand Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 This is one of the coolest rods I have ever seen. Beautifully done!!!
Speedfreak Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 That needs to be in a magazine (Harry?) And a kit for purchase. None of the modeling companies seem all that creative these days though. Do they even have 'in house' designers these days? Really inspired work David!
Chitown Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I can honestly say, with no Uncertain-T, that is one bad rod. Awesome!
ToyLvr Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Very creative - and sick! Yup, definitely unsafe at any speed! Great job, Dave!!!
blunc Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 reminiscent of 70's contest winners, excellent work! have you been hanging out with Ira...?
Modelmartin Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I usually don't look at the Under Glass subjects but I am a Model T aficionado so I clicked on it. When I saw the first photo I started smiling. Very clever, very original and very well done!
bobthehobbyguy Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Love it. Always enjoy seeing your creations.
DumpyDan Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 WOW! You have done an unbelievable job, this has to be one of the nicest I have seen in awhile. I question. How long did this take you to build?

How long did this take you to build? Thank you. It took 2 months to build this. reminiscent of 70's contest winners, excellent work! have you been hanging out with Ira...? How do you know Ira's not hanging out with me? Actually I met Ira on another forum and this build is for a contest we are both entered in, I'm going up against his Fire Frog.

TooOld Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Hey Dave ! Looks like you've hit a home run with this one , congratulations ! Maybe if a notice for the contest had been posted here we could have had a few more entries .

Maybe if a notice for the contest had been posted here we could have had a few more entries . You didn't do so bad with Bandit 1 yourself Bob. It see to be quite a hit. Usually DW's don't seem to get much attention on this site, but you've kicked up quite a bit of interest. I don't think there are many people on here that are into Showrods, but we might have picked up a few. Maybe next time. Edited April 3, 2014 by Psychographic

Psychographic Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 Wow that is wicked Dave, I always like your paint work. The air ride setup look's really cool. Wow..! Very creative.. excellent craftsmanship..! Love the fingernail polish paint work..! Again, thank you all for the positive comments. Unfortunately the pictures don't show it but the paint is all done with pearl nail polish. What you will see if you look, is the giant fish eye right in the middle of where the door would be. When I was in the drugstore looking for a white pearl, I was being "stalked" by an attractive employee, she was trying not to be obvious that she was watching me. She finally came up to me and said, "I gotta ask, what's with the men coming in and buying nail polish?" I explained what I was painting and told her my options are go to a hobby shop and pay about $6 dollars for the same amount of paint, of which there are no really nice colors that come close to what's available in NP, or go to my supply house and pay upwards of $60 for a pint of paint and that does not include the reducer. She told me I was the third guy in there looking for NP, one needed to paint something on a scope for a rifle, and one was touching up paint on a carb for a lawn mower. The cool thing was, when I told her I build custom models, she didn't look at me with the "Why is a grown man playing with kids toys?" She actually helped me find the pearl white and then broke out a box from behind the counter of stuff that didn't fit on the shelves and helped me rummage through that looking for unique colors. Now that I think about it, I wonder if she is single,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

crazyjim Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 When are you going back to find out if she's available? We need pics of her too.
