Is the Holmes scratchbuilt?

A truck, some paint, some tubing and an engine.

I like taking my stuff outside and working on the deck. Today when the wind threatened ti pick up I took my stuff and went to go inside. As I was going through the gate a gust sent the gate crashing into my tray , spilling the coffee cup over everything and sending the model body I just finished cleaning up to the ground in a puddle of coffee.

Thank you gentlemen.

Diecast, found on eBay or Amazon. I think it is made by Norscot or something like that.

Thank you Jeff and Bruce. Most of them come from eBay from kit breakers. I missed some great ones the other day which shot up over my limit just before the end.

Been there, done that. OOPs is part of modelling.

And I prefer the long one.

Thank you Carl.

From now on, I add them as I build them. Enjoy.

And that, is the end of the built ones. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy building them.

Allis Chalmers 25000 "Big Al". Diesel OHV 6, 844 cu.in./ 450 hp. I attach a photo of a real one here too. This was scratchbuilt using a DAF engine as a base and installed into a Dodge Bighorn at the suggestion of member Brian Smith (Driptroit 71).

International Blue Diamond. OHV 6, 241-269 cu.in/ 240-264 hp. This was scratchbuilt and installed into an International R190.

GMC Twin-six 702: OHV V12, 702 cu.in/ 275 hp. This was scratchbuilt to go into a GMC B7000. I attach an ad to show the real thing. There is a company called Thunder V12 which purchases 702s and restores them to whatever you want, hot rod, marine, etc.

Pontiac 583 V12; This was scratchbuilt from two of Mickey Thompson's Challenger 389s. I installed it in my 1970 Bonneville pickup.

Lincoln 430 with Stromberg six-pack. this was the hot rod engine in a Model T kit. i used it in my '34 Ford project.

Supercharged Studebaker R4: This is a "What if?" engine I built for my GT Hawk based one one built by a Studebaker specialist.

Ford V8 with Frenzel supercharger. The motor is from the junk pile, the heads are by Flat32 and the supercharger is by Pico Elgin. I understand those are rather scarce. It is certainly unique.

Rolls Royce Phantom II: OHV 6, 467 cu.in./ 120 hp.

Thank you gentlemen.

Thank you. glad you like them Marty.

It loks alright, and then some.

1928 Lincoln: L head V8, 384 cu.in/ 90 hp.
