Is that Testors Emerald Pearl Mettalic? I love that color
-
Sounds Cool! If only I had the skill you had! Im only good with rats and beaters.
-
I've been contemplating getting this kit lately, How good is it? Any major difficulties?
It's either this or another 240z kit.

That HE-51 B Float Plane is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
-
The Hong Kong phooey hotwheels look like it could easily be made from a speedwagon kit
-
Here's a picture of the car. As built by last owner, I'm guessing sometime in the 70's?? Nothing anything close to modern on the car
it has a 440 and a Dana as installed
sounds like I'm gonna have to find something just similar to the tire, dug through all my parts bins, I think it's gone for good
-
ill say it right now, not sure where to post it but it's related to models
I am fixing up a built up 49 merc, but it's missing a wheel and tire, but the tires are very strange...
one side says Goodyear blue streak.
the other says M&H Racemaster...
the tread feels like what a record feels like.
plus I don't know what wheels they are...anyone know
-
Looking great. The only car model that I can recall building that was similar, was a silver and red job, but the name of the driver eludes me right now.
Was it Dick Landy??
-
Lookin Good Anthony!!
BTW whats the MSRP, or just what they are going for?
-
I like it, you have some good fabrication and paint skills! just wish I could get rid of orange peel to make it look like your cars!
-
Thanks for the tips skip, really the sedan was to clear out just one of my parts drawer to make space for a project. I just through it together for fun.
Starting on the roadster soon, still unsure what to put under the hood
-
We'll figure I might as well upload my progress so far on these. 1 gasser, 1 rat rod, 1 salt flats car.
sedan just needs a distributor and the drive belt, and headlights put on.
just started the Vicky, put some lettering on it, first time I've ever hand lettered a car
roadster isn't started
-
well got the roadrunner up and riding. plus my sister got a trike project. pics later today

That sucks. Mine was also stolen. Teenagers from another block saw the thief with my bike, beat the living cr ap out of him and brought the bike back to my house.
wow, that right the is a good story!!
When did these become "muscle bikes"? I've heard them called Stingrays, banana seat bikes, 20 inchers and other things, but never muscle bike. I was a pre-teen or teen during the years these were popular. I never had one (I had a 26 inch 3 speed), but my brother and many of my friends did.
Ive always called them that, mostly because (at least with bikes that apply) have bigger wheels out back, smaller in front, and slicks, and sometime the stance mimicked them too
-
That's me, Christmas 1969 with my new Raleigh Chopper. I had this orange one and when it got stolen it was replaced with a yellow one.
that's a nice looking bike, wish I had a Raleigh chopper now!!
I think a bug may have bite me, because I'm diving Im head first into these muscle bikes!!
-
Very cool. My first bike was an Iverson Roadrunner, in orange with the two piece handlebars and banana seat. Man, I loved that bike. Since I got it for my 5th birthday it was likely a 1972 or 73 model.
I wish there was more info on the web about Iverson. Rumor has it that Barris did some design work for them on some models.
Barris designed the chain over on them. Didn't get a tire but I did wash it and got a patina'd bolt that way the new hardware wouldn't stand out. I've got a fascination with rat rods and patina, what can I say... ha ha.
rode the schwin down to my neighbor that is of buddy of mine, talked to him about cars, and told him it was my birthday 2 days ago. He gave me a model box FULL of anything and everything 32 ford.
Expect a build thread here soon!!
-
That's a nice bike Kerry!! Hopefully my schwin will be like that when I'm done with it
-
I know most of us have had, or still have one. I've got a Schwinn Stingray, but its a repop
but yesterday I bought a 1967 Iverson Roadrunner, in all original condition for a grand total of $47, it may of cost me my first johan, but lately ive been wanting bigger things I can sit on/in.
Tommorow im going to the local muscle bike expert to get a rear tire and a carriage bolt to make this beauty all vintage.
I will get some pictures soon,
But in the mean time lets see some of your bikes, Full sized or scale!!
Oops!!! Sorry mods wrong thread!! Just realized this should be in off-topic.
-
Well guys, I sold the kit, but to buy that Iverson roadrunner, the thing is all original!
im definitely keeping it for a while
-
Just looked up the movie, I want the 62 fury wagon!!!
hopefully I find more good deals in the morning
-
That interior looks good, but I'm going to just use the kit interior just so it keeps all the original parts together.
Tommorow might yield another good haul from the swap meet.
ive got my eyes on a all-original Iverson Roadrunner bike from 1967. But time will tell.
thanks for all the input guys!
-
I'm going to save this model from the grips of the evil styrene trees.
im thinking a slight lowering, in a light mist blue metallic, with a white interior
oh and some white walls, anybody know what engine is in this, looks like a poly but not sure
Sorry for my messy couch haha -
Well I have got my first Johan!
its a 1962 fury that's not built and untouched for $20
im debating on building it or not so give me an idea, if you got pictures of a built kit please show me thanks
