  4. Thanks for all the comments. Jim Bob makes bad decisions, with the profits from last winters snow plow jobs he spent it ALL on Air Ride, Big Wheels and Street tires. its called White Trash Wrecker not prudent business man wrecker
  5. Finished this one last week... The wheels are Baker Scale Replica 3D - The Tires are Pegasus The Jim Bob Decals are Speedway Decals The Snow Plow Decals I printed. The Ratchet Strap is from Highlight Model studio. I cut the molded in Engine out of this Kit and used the 396 from the 67 Chevelle Kit with a few slight modifications to the headers, intake and air cleaner.
  6. this is awesome.. super realistic. Great work!
  7. Finished this one last month. I hadn't had a chance to post up the finished pictures. z-Man Wheels, Wired Engine, Aluminum pulleys, Hairspray technique using vallejo paints. vallejo pigments and washes used to weather.

  13. I finished this one recently. Custom decals, Zman Wheels, MCG disc brake rotors, wired engine, weathered and wash with various Vallejo paints
  14. Here’s another 50 Chevy I finished. I used nascar chassis components on the stock frame. V8 engine from the 65 Chevy stepside kit. Custom aluminum drive shaft, custom tilt hood, aluminum steering column, aluminum air cleaner, BMF on bed rails, wired distributor. Hand painted door logos, Vallejo paints. Hope you like it.
  15. Looks awesome as usual. Well done my friend!
  16. Tom- your right after the doors song off the Morrison Hotel album. She lived on hill her daddy died, left her no will... to modify the foose frame to fit the 50 Chevy it requires a lot of work. Here is a list- I had to move rear axle to center the rear wheel well, modify the mounting points of rear control arms, make running board mounts, graft rear and front bumper brackets, made cab mounts, made bed mounts. I kept track of my time. I don’t know why I did keep track I have never done that before but, I had 9 hours on the frame conversion. I had 63 hours on the whole build. I had to do a couple things twice on the frame to get it aligned correctly. It was worth it but I did the same frame with nascar suspension and it was a much simpler process. Hope this helps. If you go to my page on Facebook at dentside model car garage. I have shared a video post from another building explaining the steps to convert the foose frame to the 50 FORD F1 pickup. It looks easier.
  17. Finished this one a couple weeks ago. 50 Chevy AMT I modified the on Foose truck frame to fit under. Engine is from 65 impala, as well as front seats, custom center console from 2010 Camaro. I hope you all like it.
  18. Excellent job. Clean looking build. Decals look great!
  19. Very nicely done. I love the colors and your build makes me wanna build one now. Lot of those trucks running around here back in the 90’s. Great job!
  20. Thank you all for all the super nice and encouraging comments. I’m glad so many of you all can relate to this build. I went high school with a bunch of these guys! Ha ha Druthers was one of only two fast foods we had here back in the day. I kinda miss it too. The Spit cut is drivers side cup..the one with no lid or straw...there’s a small dip and some spit in the cup. Levi Garrett was equally popular around here but the Redman logo is so much more recognizable I had to use it..the gas cap rag was pretty much as common as was the “wash me”
  21. Finished. This is the MPC snap kit. This one was inspired from growing up in Eastern Kentucky in the 80’s. Dipping Skoal, listening to hank, eating at Druthers and getting muddy in your 4x4. Hope you enjoy all the details.
