Just finished this. I scratch built the chop top on a Revell Big T body and robbed a few parts from my stash to build it. Hope you like it and thanks for looking. More detail pics here http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/old...Tall%20Boy%20T/

The bike is a diecast Vance & Hines Top Fuel drag bike. Yessir, it's all 1/8th. I still have a lot of trim and detail work to do but it's coming along. Here's the front with a couple more bikes.

Just playing around in my dio.

Finished !!!!!!!!!!!! Detail pics here http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/old...20Scale/Bantam/ .

She's done, now to finish the diorama. More pics here. http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/old...Parts%20Chaser/

I have no patience so I put both unfinished models in front of the unfinished diorama just to see how they would look.

Here's pics of the Lindberg 1953 Ford I built for a club project. I shortened the body and top by one quarter inch to fit a Revell 2006 Mustang frame, runnung gear and interior. Thanks for looking.

Here's a little something I've been working on to go with my garage diorama. It's not finished but is getting close. Build pics here. http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/old...Parts%20Chaser/ Link to Diorama post. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5656

Finished the engine bay. Had to move the radiator back a little for clearance but still managed to fit the fan shroud in place.

A traveling dio, now that's just neat.

That's my house Barbo. I'm building the dio in my garage. I made a sign and got bored waiting for glue to dry so I did an interior mock up. Still LOT'S to do.

Interior paneling in progress,

Painted, sanded, ready for clear. To muggy, it will have to wait. Mock up with bumper & grill set in place just for the pic.

Excellent work and detail as always Andi. VERY realistic.

Removed the splash pans and modified the Mustang frame to fit the 1953 body. Also trimmed the inner fender wells for clearance. Mock up.

I want it to look stock except for the wheels. But a closer look will reveal the 'stang interior and undercarriage. I also had to modify the 'stang interior and shorten the convertible top to match the body. I haven't decided whether to use the top or boot. Here are a few more progress pics. Modified interior Int mod Int with boot Int with shortened roof

First off let me say that this is my model clubs same kit project that I MUST do. I don't usually build small scale cars so I wanted to do something off the wall. I will combine a Lindberg 1953 Ford Convertible body with a 2006 Revell Ford Mustang chassis and interior. I started by cutting 1/4 inch in length from the 1953 body to match the wheel base of the Mustang. Next I installed a dash to firewall extension to eliminate the gap. I'll post more as it progresses. The kits Body cut Extension Extension in place

Small update. It now has a paved parking lot, concrete interior floor and siding in progress.

I LOVE sedan deliverys and this one is looking great. SIX BANGERS FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since I mostly build large scale I needed a place to display my stuff. I've been collecting odd's & ends for a garage dio for over a year and think I finally have enough. I was given some lumber and sheetrock this week so I decided to start the project. It's 4 ft X 8 ft with scale 12 ft walls. I bought some OSB for wall framing and cut door & window openings. The walls will be covered with scale pine siding for a rustic look. The interior floor will be concrete grey and the street will be simulated asphalt or gravel. Here's a pic of what I've done so far.

Ryan, Guess I had a senior moment. I fixed it. Gregg, Rick Gondeck in Maryland created the master and has the bodys for sale. You can contact him here, www.largescalemodeler.com

Thanks Ralph. As the old saying goes "Seek and ye shall find"

Started this last week. Resin body, modified Lindy Exterminator frame. Build pics here. http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/old...20Scale/Bantam/
