    Awesome kitbash, storyline, and weathering !!
  2. Sam I Am
    What a beautiful survivor !! I agree with the stripes, they really make the model.

    Every time I see a nice Bison, I change my mind on how I want to build mine.

    We do mainly collision work, but always have at least one old car on the go as a time filler. This is where my first love lies. In the five years that I have been there, we have done a '72 Suburban, '70 ElCamino, Two '70 Mustangs, '73 Roadrunner, '63 Fairlane, '70 Impala, '73 Eldorado, '86 Chev Short box and a 1951 Ford 8n.

    Speaking of Mustangs....we just finished this one up at the Body shop I work at. Its an Acapulco Blue 1969 Mach I with a Dual Quad 428 CJ pushing over 650 hp.

    Ditto....
  7. Sam I Am

  8. Sam I Am

    I work at a body shop and this is one of the latest jobs. Its a 1976 359 Pete that has a 25 foot 9 inch wheelbase, and custom panels to cover the frame,as well as fenders, bumper and other bits. It will get blown apart, and painted. Matching front fenders are still in their packaging as well as a new rear window panel. We are going to pull the cab to make it easier on us. Hopefully i can reproduce it in miniature after its all done. Oh, and the drive train is much newer.
  10. Sam I Am
    That is a wild as well as huge undertaking. I will follow along for sure.

    Just got home from a vacation to SoCal. While I was there I was able to attend the Keller show. Between that show and a friend who lives there, this is what I brought home with me.
  13. Sam I Am
    Thanks, its a 1972, and dual carbed. Sweet running old car. Needs some TLC like they all do. lol

    That is such a nice haul, I had to go check my stash and see if mine were still there. Oh, and found a set of later model BMW wheels made by BBS for the old Bavaria. Just what we wanted, classy but not too mdern.
  15. Sam I Am
    That is sweet....
  16. Sam I Am
    Now THIS I like !! Back when I was a teenager I attempted this same conversion....lets just say it did not go anywhere near as good as yours.

    Ok, here is what I had trickle in over the last week. A guy I know is having to get out of the hobby so he made me a deal on a number of nice kits plus a huge box of supplies. I traded for the big rigs, a 1/12 1967 Corvette, and the Yellow Porsche. The wheels are five spoke cragars with wide whites. The resin engines are both early Mopar Wedge engines, and the parts pack 283. The super Clean Olds Chassis will be used under the Ferrari....

    I appreciate it. Oh, and I bet she beats your butt on the Wii.

    Just some basic measurements that can be taken from the finished model would be nice.(bed and ramps) That would give me an idea for when I build my own. I have one of the "Racers Edge" kits, but that is more for a dually pu, and while I was going to modify it for a big rig, maybe it would be easier just to scratch one. Hope I am not causing any trouble, and do appreciate all the input. I have a Bison started and just cannot figure which way to go with it. Car Hauler, log truck, dump truck...

    Ok, ok, I will let you know that the finished product is perfect, other than some people I noticed said there was not enough orange.
  21. Sam I Am
    While the finished product is stunning. I find I learn more in the WIPs. Next time, make some templates so you can scan them and share them with people like me.
  22. Sam I Am
    I'm going to have to keep an eye out for BMW wheels...
  23. Sam I Am
    So here is where another one of my kits ended up huh? You must have a pretty big bench.
  24. Sam I Am
    So did the Skymaro distract you from this one?
  25. Sam I Am
    That is a sharp looking bed. Do you happen to still have the templates?
