For the last 5 years here in PA we have had a great show put on at an old dirt track called the Jalopy Showdown. What makes this show great is that everyone that comes to show gets to make some hot laps around the track in the mud!!! This is what greats everyone at the show.. MUD!!! Only the true rodders come out to play at this show. And now for some hot lap pics. Here's the link to all 370 pics.. Enjoy http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd211/O...down08/?start=0 Later

Like I told you at the show, Beautiful !!!! Later

Started this project 2yrs ago, the paint went all wrong and back in the box it went. With Mid-Atlantic NNL just around the corner and the theme being Shoebox Fords, I thought i might just try to get it done... So after cleaning up the body and preping for paint, every thing went well.. Enjoy the pics. Now its time to polish and add some foil. Later

Just finished up this T for the NNL East theme table. Enjoy the pics, I know I enjoyed building it.. Later

Gregg, I would like to be added to the list also, Mike Dube. And you can also add Jonathan Lutz aka "dub". See ya in 48hrs. Thanks

Thanks Greg, I'll be joining in on the fun also... Getting to the Ramada sometime on Fri.

Another super slick custom form Cruz.. Very nice... Can't wait to see it.. Man the April meeting is going to be good with all these pre NNL East builds. Later

Thanks for the comments guys.. I used up a whole sheet of BMF on this. Next to the 60 Starliner I did' this is the most foil i have ever used on one car.. Later

Looks really good Lyle Those wheels do look great on that car. Later

Just put the finishing touches on the beast. Enjoy... Just so you can see how big this car is. See ya at NNL East.. Later..

Wow this thing is big, it used up 3/4 of a sheet of BM foil.. Its really turning out kool looking. These are the wheels that are going to be on the whole car. They have been sitting on my bench for 2yrs now waiting for the right project and this is it. It should be done before next weekend so watch for it Under Glass. Later........

Well I wet -sanded and polished as much as i could till i was afraid to go threw the paint. Still need to foil and wax this beast out, glad i bought more foil... The wheels are going to the billets from the Rivera kit on one side and the steelies on the other. It gives it to different styles on one car.. Yea The hood is kinda pointy but i sanded mine down some to take some of the pointiness out of it. Interior is almost done still got some small details to do yet. Thaks for all your help. Later

Some answers for you guys.. "What chassis are you going to put under that bohemoth?!" This kit is only a curbside so it comes with a fuul pan that glues up under it nicely. "is that front bumper stock or custom?" I didn't but the bumper on it yet, thats the side of the grill you see in the pics. "Are those reverse rims (wheel #2) the Modelhaus ones?' Yes they are the chrome rev. with the seperate spider caps. Makes it easier to paint the centers. "Man how many gallons of paint did you use. " 1 1/2 cans of Testors Fiery Orange and a whole can of Black Gold HoK Kandy Spanish Gold. harrypri thats a really nice illustration you did. BTW Modelhaus also has a 49 Cadi Fastback custom to build that.. Later

Started a new project for NNL East, a 50 Cadillac Custom from Modelhaus. Man this thing is BIG.. Trying to get better at laying down some smoother paint so I polished out the primer before paint. It worked out great, but still needs to be wet-sanded and polished. The wheels for this project are undecided at this time, but i have some ideas.. What do you think? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Thanks for looking. Later Mike

Forgot the interior pic, smoothed out the dash and made a center console. Painted black with the flames on them also, mini tubs out back with a gel cell battery in there also. I built this to try some new interior and painting technics that I have never tried before. Later And thanks Jonathon...

Built this about 3yrs ago before I knew how to foil and polish. Started with a 77 Chevette promo, smoothed out the body and also made L.E.D. taillights. The chrome was in poor shape, so all of that got a coat of Alclad. Paint is HOK Black Pearl with th Alclad prismatic paint for the flames. Building crazy things like this are all about the "what if" ideas that run threw my head. Later

Wow Tom, that color looks perfect on there. Can't wait to see this in April.

What do you get when you mix a 90's era Toyota pickup with a 60's era Kustoms? I give you SourApple. Complete Impala interior. Fun quick build i did a couple of years ago. Thanks for looking. Later

Looks Killer Matt Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks for the comments guys. The wheels and tires are from Modelhaus. Tires: T-120 front / T-130 rear Wheels: W-120 front / Amer. 5 spoke deep rear. Hope this helps.

Well the 32 is off the bench and made its way to the shelf. Enjoy the pics. Thanks for looking. Later

Cruz, all I can say is WOW! Can't wait to see it at the meeting..

Got some free time to do some painting. So before i polish out the paint I did a quick mock-up. Thanks for looking.

The engine for this build has been decided on and painted. Also did a quick mock up of it in the frame with the car sitting on its own wheels. Thanks for the comments. Later

Well cracked open one of my new 32 kits and its really nice. But, the only thing I need for this build will be the body. The rest of the kit will be used another day. Started with a parts box frame and layed out some guidlines. This is what the first mockup looked like for today. Motor is still up in the air, but I know its going to sit back under the cowl a bit.
