The other 3 Mama Kittie (long hair) Nova and Miss Hiss on her couch

Not much done lately. I've been sick so no ambition at all. All I managed to do is work on the grill more straighten out the 1 fender and play with the hood.

Thanks Jim I'm tryin Greg I wish I had more🥴 Thanks Jeff Thanks Zippi!

Tom

Advertised as "could be junker" but just a plain kit.

Well, I didn't get too much done but I did fix the curve in the windshield, cut out the new back windows and worked on the grill more. Everything needs more work but it's getting there.

I wish I could Al but I wouldn't even know where to start with something like that. Not too mention, I doubt it's going to look that good. I think you have more faith in me than I do!😉

Late 80s early 90s I had a 70 Fairlane with a 351 W and a 3 speed on the floor. It was an automatic originally but someone put that old 3 speed in it. That thing was fast, my friends 69 GTO couldn't catch it. I got it from another friend who got in too much trouble with it. He bought an old 74 F100 that he blew up so we took the engine out of the Fairlane and put it in the truck. These are the only pics I could find of it, when we removed the engine.

Yup, I like the oddball ones like these myself. Thanks, I'm still thinking on the engine, those are great options. I've got some nice 3d printed 440s but never built any before. Maybe a diesel? Too early yet. Thanks John! Me too, they're very overlooked trucks. Thanks Jim, I guess it will all depend on how bad all this bodywork turns out.🥴 Nothing covers up bad bodywork better than a weathered or patina paint job. Trust me I know, about 90% of my models look like junk.😁 Thanks Greg, This my favorite part of building. It seems like after the paint goes on it turns into work, just boring assembly stuff. Thanks Charles, well I was hoping nobody would notice that until it was too late, but of course now everyone knows. THANKS ALOT! All kidding aside, yes, I was just working on that last night.😁 Thanks Jerry, I appreciate it.

I'm using a 1950 Ford pickup cab, (part of) Foose 56 Ford pickup fenders, 50 Chevy pickup hood and a lot of styrene. This is what I have so far...

I've been trying to work on the hood for the 53 International. I've cut this Chevy hood so much I think it's more glue & putty than plastic. Anyway it's closer, not good or right but closer. I filled the back window in so I can make the 2 windows that the International has too. Slowly but it's something.

Great build! I loved watching the WIP thread. I'm not a GM fan but man I love this truck and that license plate is perfect.

Started turning a 50 F-1 into a 53 International.

Great old clock Peter. I'm not sure if I would have the patience for that kind of work. Nice job!

Here is a bar I built from some live edge wood I got for $4 each. I have a bunch more, I just haven't figured out what to do with it yet. And this is an old 46 Ford Doodlebug my father & I are building. It was a dump truck with a 10 foot body on it. We took that off and junked it, then moved the rear up for a shorter wheelbase. We changed the engine because the old one was locked up, got the transmission unstuck and last week we wired it up. I'm going over now to see if we can make it run today. Wish me luck, I think I'm gonna need it!🤪

Thanks David. Definitely get some pics on here of those guitars Dan. We would all love to see them for sure! And the deck & pergola too, I'm always looking for new ideas to steal.😉 Thanks Alan, I built that for a pregnant stray cat to live in with her kittens. BAD IDEA, now we have 4 cats because nobody would take a kitten. Of course they don't live in that house anymore, they're in MY house.

There might be another thread of this but I couldn't find it. So, what else do you like to build? In the summer months I hate to be inside so I don't do much modeling. I do like working on old cars, gardening with my wife and building stuff out of old wood, leftover scraps, old deck boards and pallets. Here are a some things I've built, lets see some of yours!

Not today but about a week ago I had to break down and buy a new mower. After 20+ years the old one is pretty much shot.

Thanks Steve.

Thanks John and Carl.

I wish I did, but I could never bring myself to spend almost $100 on a kit🤑. The Ollies kits are more my price range. What can I say, I'm cheap.😁

I got 3 Ollies kits and an ebay 3d printed 68 AMX body. Is it me or is this body a lot smaller than 1/25? Next to my Rambler it looks tiny.
