Custom Hearse

I got an e-mail from John Greczula this morning that made me a happy camper!!! Hi Marshall, Thanks for your support - we've only announced the first half of 2010 - there's a lot more than that coming later! John GreczulaXenolab Design / Retro Hobby, Inc.Representing Round 2 - AMT, MPC, Auto World Tel: (519) 533-1915Fax: (519) 533-1547 Oh happy days!

I've figured out what I'm gonna do with it... I'm gonna build a rat rod farm truck! What do ya think?

AWESOME Wayne! I hadn't seen the A-100 before, that is cool! So... When are ya gonna start the next diorama? I enjoyed watching this being built, thanks!

Thanks Dave! I'll give this a try on my next paint job. Is there a chance you could post a couple of pics of the 2 piece holder you mentioned?

Same with the 1/20th kit I'm working on... Detailed engine, hood doesn't open. Go figure... The side and rear doors open, but the driver and passenger doors don't either. Well anywho, I'm looking forward to seeing more of yours as you work on it!

Yeah, it would've been nice to see a nice custom interior in them. I'm working on my van kit as much as possible. Yours looks great Janne!

That looks great! I grew up in SoCal, and you got the look right on!

The grill looks great! And I think the penguin agrees with me!

Congratulations! Ya did good!

I got this today...

Thanks! I have several things I'd like to use it on.

You're doing a heck of job on it! I like it! The interior is really nicely done. How did you do the wheels gold like that? Keep up the great work on it, I'm a big fan of custom vans!

DITTO!!! BIG TIME! Those are really awesome! Nice work!

Thanks Lyle, and thanks for the link! It looks like they have a lot of stuff that would be fun to build... I have a feeling my banks gonna wonder what I'm buying so much of!

That is simply AWESOME!!! I love it! I just wish I could paint that well.

You'll definitely have a head start on everyone! That sounds great!

Actually that would be a good build off also! I built a '71 Superbird that that would have been good for. Maybe you ought to start a build off like that!

I wish I rode in a bus that looked half as cool as that one! Nice work Lyle!!! Is it a complete kit, or do you have to use another kit to build it? Interior is great! Looking forward to seeing more!

Gregg, is the U.S.S. Arizona going to be issued, or is it something someone put together? What scale is it?

COOL! If it came from the factory with a turbo, it would be allowed... If not nope. If you walked into a Honda dealership and ordered a brand new car, and the dealer handed you an options list with special options like different wheels, turbo, body cladding, custom interior, and a custom paint job, that would be allowed. The main idea here is to research and find out what options were, or in your case since you want to do a newer car, are, and build it as if you ordered it. The fun part is figuring out what parts you would add to the car that came from the factory, and to do that, you go online and find what options you could actually get. In your case, you could build it as if you went to Japan, and ordered a car that was not allowed to be sold in America. One of the rules is that you have to document what you added to it was available from the factory, With a link, or a copy of the options list from a dealership.

Cool Travis! I'll probably start this next week. I just need to get all the details ironed out. I'll post the rules and such then. Thanks to all who want to join in!
