International cement truck
Sam I Am replied to happy grumpy's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That is one cool mixer. -
I still have the blue '32 as well. I am sure it will need a few parts also.

This is what many would call a true survivor. With the two piece tires, I believe it is an original issue. It is also a community build. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it took a forum to build a car. I traded for it from Modlbldr. It was in pieces...and missing pieces. Thanks to him, thatz4u TruckerAl, and ewetwo for donating the needed parts. The ob layed down a gold basecoat followed by transparent red to create a true candy apple red. All I did was lightly polish it after thoroughly cleaning all the parts. I added wash to the grill, the engine came from the parts box.

Un-be-liev-a-ble !! You have vision, and combined it with flawless execution to create a drop dead gorgeous car that will be the envy of any show you bring it to.

Rough Terrain Freightliner
Sam I Am replied to BIGTRUCK's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That is awesome looking. Definitely following this one. -
That is beautiful. I butchered one as a kid. I just recently picked up a rebuilder and hope to do a better job this time around.

Beautiful build. As someone who is a fan of Mustangs, I see a few old friends in your lineup. Having owned a 95 convertible I can tell there is something off about the model, but a beautiful build non the less. We have owned an 83, 85 convertible, 95 convertible, and currently a 97, also have a 66 project that I am seriously considering putting the 5spd, and 8.8 disc brake posi in out of the 97.

Here is my in-laws Sunliner. Running an early 70's 351c/C6.Taken in Oct of 2005. Funny how things have changed. The whole family is in the pics. Two oldest boys are now married and mom-in-law is no longer with us. Car is waiting for me to install its new distributor. If you need any detail pics, pm me. -
Let's See Some Glue Bombs!
Sam I Am replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Here is one of mine. I am going with a pre-runner style since so much is missing. I already started on the hood. It had the blower hole cut out and I had an extra scoop. -

Keep the roof Roger, it's a classic. I will be following because I have a 62 sunliner kit that I plan on using that same chassis under. -
Thanks for the bump. Turned out great. Really like the paint and stance on this one.

Had a great trade with 440 Dakota. Thanks again Ron.

I also have used techniques from model building on the 1:1 as well. My favorite was the instrument housing on a 63 Fairlane. I thought I had pics of the actual cluster but this is the best I could find. Let's just say that it is a little difficult to source parts for a 62-3 Fairlane. We were rebuilding this 63 for a customer and the housing for the instrument panel was in really bad shape. Originally chrome, it was dull on the places it had not worn through to the plastic underneath. I told my boss I had an idea... I disassembled it, dunked the housing into everyone's favorite paint stripper, primed it with tamiya ,wet sanded with 600, and painted it with tamiya silver leaf. I also cleaned the instrument faces with a cotton swab soaked with novus #1, and polished the clear plastic panel that goes between the housing and gauge panel with novus products as well. In the picture (which does not do it justice) , the panel to the right is factory aluminum with chrome trim. It really looks good and blends well.

ECTO-1 to 1959 Miller Meteor "closed side" hearse conversion
Sam I Am replied to SawgrassRaven's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Watching this one, that's for sure. I have this kit in my '59 collection and am wondering how to build it. -
Love that color, and still amazed at how well detailed and accurate that 312 is. You sure are making it "pop"
