Baugher Garage

Cheapo necklace chains readily available at most garage sales, spray painted dark gray and misted with red oxide primer make great tow chains.

Nice job!!

Very cool!!

NIIIICE!!

Daniel - you saw this same diorama for sale at a toy show? I sold it on ebay to a guy in Albany NY in December. What are the chances?? I live in Kansas!

Amazing detail!! My dad's got an old Wheel Horse he uses quite frequently for mowing, etc. Not nearly as nice as your model though!

HAHA!! Thanks Rob! Tulio, it looks like I need to add more dirt!!

Wow! How did you do that vinyl top?? Was the body already textured or did you have to craft that yourself? Looks awesome Mike!

Nice job!!

You really oughta be working for the sci-fi movie industry!

Hydraulic garage lift?

You're going to drive some purists crazy! Love it!

I always KNEW the Magnum would look so much better with a 300 front clip! Boy was I right! That looks fantastic!

Outstanding! Interior detail is first rate!

Man, this is amazing! I've never been into race cars much, but seeing the amount of work that has gone into this build, I'm blown away! Nice work!

Stan, I just realized you're the one also building the white wagon. That one's looking great too!

You said y'all... Texas has rubbed off on you Bart!

TOO MANY CHOICES! TOO MANY CHOICES!

Here are a couple of pics with cars. If I build another one of these (sold this one on ebay) I'll probably place graphics on the side panels too. The gravel's a bit too large ...

I'm dyin' to see what's going to attach to those hinges at the wheel wells! Frog legs?

The '40 Ford is one of my faves!

Thank you all! I'm hoping I can wire the distributor with some small gauge wire I have. I experimented last night, but it wasn't flexible enough and kept popping of... not the end of the world if it doesn't work out, but I'd love to add that detail without purchasing a prewired dist.

Yea, it's pretty oily Chuck!

Nice interior! I still can't get over that crazy paint! Looks so good!

Thank you Stan! This is the first time I've tried flat tires. There are a few tutorials on here and I tried their techniques. I'm sure I'll get better at it. I started by sanding the tire to get it rough and worn looking. Then I used a small hand saw to cut two vertical cuts into the tread along the inner and outer sidewalls, not quite all the way through. The with a small razor knife, I cut across the tread to remove the section between the cut lines. After than, I held the tire over a lit candle to heat the rubber, and pressed it onto a hard flat surface to flatten the sidewalls. This took several attempts. I ultimately headed the blade of the knife and used it to shape the rubber to spread the sidewalls out so they would stay in place. Kinda like frosting a cake. I'll try to get some pics of the process next time I do another flat. The result is more like a tire that's rotted from sitting, rather than simply gone flat from a leak. Your abandoned Impala is looking really great!
