It is mostly done now, only a couple tiny paint details left. This was built in the 70's, poorly, and resurrected using a donor body and lots of "diving equipment" from the parts box. Krylon Bronze body, Testor's root beer top.

Nice!!! I have some, but they are all being "used" on other cars...I can make a rack but three longboards would be super. Thanks a ton. That is a site I will send to my friends.

Converted from a crusty old relic into "Malibu Divers, Inc" Still searching for those surfboards.

I love...... !. Old kits 2.. Wierd subjects 3. Small scales 4. lotsa Details. This Matchbox 1939 Citroen Legere Coupe is all four at once. For a 1/32 scale kit, the engine and chassis detail is really well done...glad i have a magnifying light at the bench. The wheels are smaller than the quarter in the first pic. And the tiny engine parts almost made me lose my composure before i got them to set right!

It is pretty much done. This was a glue bomb body and a reissued chassis; Jada wheels and a '53 vette 6.

here's the engine I decided on...a '53 Vette 6 without the ignition shield and Weber carbs. Just so you aren't left asking "What engine is under there?"

Yup...part of the "Expresso racing team" along with a '62 vette pulled by a C-600 hauler.

I also discovered if you do not add text before posting, you apparently cannot. I tried. So this is basically an old 30's Cadillac limo glue bomb cut up and pasted together and stuck on a Hot Dogger chassis. Lots of fabrication, but also a lot of fun to build. The body was cut into six pieces, narrowed, shortened and chopped..Somehow it all lined up.

I didn't set up the "photo area" as usual...I couldn't wait to post the finished project. I will take better shots later.

Pearl white and ready to assemble.

Painted and ready for assembly

I usually don't build "Snap-Tite" kits, but this one is a hoot. The hardest part was the paint job, and it was a nice diversion from my other projects that take a long time to finish. This was fun. AMC Metallic Silver and Ice Blue lacquer.

Quite a few changes made on Model Monday...actually finished interior fabrication and changed the wheels and grille 3am Tuesday.....almost done with the Fabrication...

Hey! I didn't expect such a great response...I posted that photo as a joke, thinking it would never get seen, but maybe the Ohanas got the joke. I have been censored by the "BLAH<BLAH<BLAH a few times, and wondered, WTF? Now I know to keep it clean! Sorta like the New Playboy which I cancelled my subscription the moment I laid eyes on the new LAME mag...glad nobody hates the "New politically correct Bonehead".

I am stumped so far on color; but it has a LOT of work to be done first. The idea will probably come to me at 3am om a Sunday morning...

Just for kicks. The 'Dogger has a crazy chassis and crazier body so I cut up a junk box '33 caddy limo by taking1/2" out of the width and 3" out of the length so it fits. Just mocked up tonight but this will keep me up for hours. The fabrication is what I enjoy most.Spent Monday fabbing the interior...and Tuesday chopping the top.

Well...one at a time!

It is important when starting a new project to have all the proper supplies!

I have pondered this from the beginning...WHY did I do that? Answer: I was 20-something and very ignorant about a lot of stuff! I think I may remove that pillar.

I'll say it myself. "Nice work, Bone"

I built this in 1974 according to the date on the bottom. It was painted with AMT lacquer and took 2 1/2 cans of Easy Off. It had stupid wide Indy car wheels and treadless tires, with a Rochester injected 454...I was young, right? So I got another Nomad kit and spliced in the body panels to eliminate the ridiculous radiused wheelwells, and am returning it to mostly stock, with a proper engine and wheels this time. It will have four doors and three bench seats. And perusing the "on the workbench" and seeing the Cuda printer project among many others, it is small wonder to me that nobody is impressed with my lame kit-based restorations and bashes... Sorry I am not a Supermodeler...just Ol'Skool glue putty and paint with all kit-based stuff. So don't strain yer brain making any comments that are not deserved. Also in central Washington there are NO clubs, No contests, no hobby shops except Hobby Lobby...so considering the motivation and drive to build, it is all my own super power. The Bone stands alone.

Suspension is in, now it is time to prime and paint.

409!! Cool wheels...nice so far. Mine was a glue bomb body. Another panel i have was also rebuilt;my brother in law built it bone stock unpainted and ugly. I pro-streeted it. Cheers.

I built this awful mess many years ago. Paint is full of runs (no prep or primer back then) worn, scraped, dusty and ugly hand-painted graphics for a local bike shop long gone. I only had the body and interior for a '32 panel, and put it on a '32 Ford chassis, with a flathead that has a Chevy 4-barrel intake, rear distributor and 409 headers...I was young and dumb. I sacrificed a 1977 issue '32 roadster kit , and using the chassis, better suspension, 18" and 20" Jada wheels, and a newer 6, maybe a '53 Vette...it will be stripped, repainted, and returned to ALL CHEVY! The rear axle is '62 Vette, the front is '37 Chevy. Posted finished Under Glass.
