  1. I may have split the bed at the rails like you did the front (which I like) cant wait to see where you go with this. As a guy that does custom metal work, I wish flaring a set of steel fenders was as easy as it is in Styrene haha
  2. it needs those moon caps and whitewalls or the piecrusts and americans..Stance is spot on, chop looks killer...
  3. We use to get a steady stream of people stopping by (i assume they still do) so we decided to start chopping it late one night so we wouldnt get disturbed. Everyone stopped the next day and jaws hit the floor when it was mocked up haha
  4. LOVE IT!!! Im an early custom fan in both !:1 and in scale and youre hitting all the right boxes. It says Valley Customs to me so far
  5. The first photo is of Rob Gibby and his teams roadster. Ive known him for years and its a very fast, cool piece. The Coupe was built for George Poteet by Rolling Bones. It was being built while I worked there. I have quite a few hours of fab time on it Model looks cool!!!! I have a few of those bodies
  6. is anyone else having issues logging in? it wont accept my password on my computer, even after I change it.. works fine on my phone. if not allowed, please delete. thanks guys
  7. I LOVE IT!!!! I may need to buy the kit for the custom pieces too
  8. its a killer car..in both scales!

  11. I FORGOT all about that article!! I have it here on the shelf as well!
  12. Tim, I sent some photos over, via email. Let me know if they went through whenever you get a chance!!!
  13. If you have questions, or need some photos, I should be able to help some (my father is a FORD drag historian of sorts, and I also have a bunch of literature). Interesting fact, the pro stock Mavericks/Comets had Dana 60s in them and factory bench seats when delivered to make legal weight. My father also has his 73 Comet he bought new, and a 71 Maverick he bought to turn into a period correct pro stock tribute car

  21. this was the other roadster I was a crew member for. Car number 2321, Rolling Bones xf/FR
  22. If you look up "Rolling Bones High Speed Division" Im sure youll find some stuff. The car number is "8892" ...the numbers are the bith years of the 3 partners in the car. Bill and Donnie were born in 1948, I was born in 1979, the car being a 32. It started life as a 32 5 window east coast hot rod in the 50s and then was put back on the street by Bill in the late 90s/early 2000s. If you send me an email address, I can send some photos over as well in this photo, Good friend Derek is on the passenger side, Im behind the door with Bill behind me
  23. i was a member of 2 race teams though I also helped a few other friends while out there. I was a partner in a 32 roadster with a small block chevy in it. Went nearly 147 with a hurt sleeved 283..My personal goal out there is 250 in a car/truck I build.
