  1. Thanks! Yup, it's from the Midnite Cowboy kit but I cut off the fender flares & made my own wheel wells. It made it look a little better I think.
  2. Thanks everyone, I got most of it done. I'll add more pics under glass soon.
  3. My father found this in a barn over the weekend with 2 trailer loads of Model A & T parts. It's all been in there for well over 50 years. It's a Model T Ford that they used on the farm. We put some gas in it & a battery but the starter was dead. I told my father I'll crank it by hand, after a spin we heard the coils buzz & about 4 cranks later she came alive. It sat there & idled like a new car, it was still strapped to the trailer so we didn't check to see if it would move on it's own. Maybe next weekend we'll go for a spin.
  4. That is weird! But probably the coolest Impala I've ever seen! Any pics from the front & rear? GREAT WORK!!!
  5. Thanks! I'm not sure, I never called the number before. It's funny, I've used the # before on other builds too & usually nobody picks up on it. I see that "JTPlastic&Paint" has it on his truck too. AWESOME!!! The Ms PacMan game is a great item but I kind of hate having it too. The scale is perfect & it looks great in my garage diorama but I keep taking it out to play with it. Yes, it works just like the real thing with all the boards & everything, just without the real tiny quarters. I found it in Toys R Us a few weeks ago & had to have it. I've seen them on ebay too. The box said TINY ARCADE on it & they had other ones too. Like I said, they're great but don't keep them on your workbench or you'll get nothing accomplished.
  6. Hi, trying a patina paint job on this truck. Lots of layers of paint, then sand, nothing too complicated but fun. Here's what I got so far...
  7. I picked these up at a car show, some built some painted but the price was right.
  8. Thanks! I don't mind at all. If you have any questions about what I did to make it, let me know.
  9. Thanks guys, I appreciate all the grate comments.
  10. O.k. a couple of mine. The one on the back of Cooter's tow truck is one I built when I was a kid. The last one is my 1:1, hopefully one day to look like the "General Lee"
  11. Thanks, It is in the "on the workbench" section but some of the pics are gone. They were lost on an old computer that quit & I didn't back anything up. Here are a couple I found of it being built. & Thanks to everyone for all the great comments!!!
  12. Thanks, I didn't take pics of the Caddy being built but the truck is on the first page of "on the workbench" & "under glass" in the truck sections. I'm not sure how to add a link, I'm not a computer guy at all.
  13. Just a quick 4 day build from an ecto1 kit. I filled the rear windows & rotted it out. One more for the junkyard.
  14. Sweet! I love it!!! Rancheros rule!!!
  15. Very cool project! I'll be watching for sure!
  16. Thanks everyone! A few more pics of it at work. Just pulled this old hearse into the garage to work on.
  17. The bus might not be what you mean but I did a little on the interior. The slide in is scratch built & empty, no detail, but it was done probably 15-20 years ago.
  18. Thanks guys, I tried to get a pic of the pto, 4 speed & other stuff but I just can't seem to get a good shot.
  19. Thanks, no resin here. It was an ebay glue bomb that someone tried to stretch. After removing the paint & seeing what a mess it was, it was easier to cut it off & start fresh with another cab.
  20. Well here it is, finally done. I used 2 cabs & interiors & lots of evergreen styrene. Everything behind the cab is scratch built along with lots of other stuff. Thanks for looking!
  21. Thanks guys! I made some running boards, found some tools & a few other things so I think it's finished! I'll get some more pics posted underglass after work.
  22. What a piece of junk. It's perfect! Nice job.
  23. Slow but steady. Made the bumper, tow dolly parts, lights & sling. Still more to come...
  24. My wife found this & thought it would work in my garage diorama. She's right (of course) it's the right size & even works. She picked it up at Toys r Us.
