Custom Hearse

Looks great J.T.! I've been trying to find an Italeri VN770, but they are few and far between, and the prices are out of my price range. It's kind of a shame they didn't add an engine to the kit. That's interesting that the trailer is not correct. they need to correct that...

I finally got one. I opened the box and felt that old feeling that I wanted to build something again. It's been a long time since I've built anything without losing interest in it. So far I've made a couple of corrections to the body and front bumper. I have a picture of the last truck I drove, and noticed some differences between the kit and 1:1. I've already got most of the truck cab painted, but still working on filling in some panel lines that weren't on my real truck. I'll post some pictures of the build in the morning, it's time for me to hit the hay.

I'm working on a Moebius International ProStar, and so far, I've had to correct the door windows, a couple panel lines that are not on the actual truck, filled in 2 marker lights on the body, and completely redo the front bumper. I have to agree with Harry that it would be a lot more enjoyable if the kit was correctly designed to match the vehicle we try to model. Even though I've had to make the corrections on this kit, I'm still excited to build a copy of the last truck I ever got to drive...

Still waiting... Nothing outlasts the energizer...

Always chew 12 times when eating your McDonalds milk...

Thanks Casey. I was still trying to wake up when I posted the thread. I got to meet her 1 time when I went to the museum She was in the gift shop, and was a really sweet lady. My condolences to her husband and family... A truly sad day. R.I.P. Pat.

Make sure you served it with red wine...

That was my fault Matija. I was not offended. I had mis-worded the original post. Please accept my apology.

A sad loss... Article from 2012 http://www.nhra.com/blog/blog.aspx?BlogAlias=dragster-insider&BlogPostYear=2012&BlogPostMonth=08&BlogPostDay=28&BlogPostAlias=pat-garlits-the-great-woman-behind-the-man&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

Where's that "puking" smiley... I need it!

Looks great! That was one of my favorite kits to build when I was younger. Keep going, it's going together perfectly!!!

I put the TV on the channel for the Superbowl, but they were showing America's Funniest Home Videos... Hmmm... Maybe that was the Superbowl.

It's sad to see someone so talented die because of an addiction. I had only seen him in "Twister", and knew his work from that movie, but he was an excellent actor in it. R.I.P. Phillip Seymour Hoffman...

Did ya find the pidgeon that her and I use to send messages back and forth?

Best known to me as Dusty in the movie "Twister", died today of a possible drug overdose. https://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-news/breaking--philip-seymour-hoffman-found-dead-at-46-184225678.html

Here in West central Missouri we got about a 1/4th to 1/2 inches of ice. Just helped a neighbor lady up after she slipped. Fortunately she wasn't hurt, just a little shaken up.

I'm still working on this S-10... Trying to fit the corvette rear suspesion on it. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j310/customhearse/Custom%20S-10/029.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j310/customhearse/Custom%20S-10/032.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j310/customhearse/Custom%20S-10/034.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j310/customhearse/Custom%20S-10/036.jpg

Good luck with that...

Sorry... She told me that if I feel that you aren't continuing on your build, that I was to send her a message and she would take over. And I have to do what she say's... I can't argue with the young lady!!!

What she is asking is will you share your interest with her. She wants to be part of your life and to bond with you. It may not be the most exciting thing that you can think of, but to her, she loves to spend time with you and she wants to be part of your life...

AWESOME!!! That is great detail work.

HEY HEY HEY!!! Where's this promised update? Am I gonna have to get your daughter to work on it for you AGAIN?!? SHEESH!!! If you don't do some work on it I'll text her! I WILL!!!

This is turning out wicked cool!!! That's the nice thing about models... You can customize them any way you want! Looking forward to seeing more of this build.
