House of 13

I've got the Fred Cady decals for this one as well....plus a fair bunch of other cars!

Much obliged gentlemen.... Being that I enjoy using Vallejo Air acrylics, which would be the best match for the Ford Engine Blue that some engines had?

As it is, while I've got your attention, what is the difference between the Dodge and Plymouth under that beautiful shell....like the colour of the interior, engine, shock absorbers etc., etc....? Jimmy Pardue's white #54 is on my list! As tempting as his red/white one is, I haven't seen any decals for that one....

Much obliged gentlemen! Knowing that I should have a couple of '64 Dodges and Plymouths, somewhere in the stash....to play with, well....

Fellow earthlings, Can I use the frame from Lindberg's '64 Petty Plymouth and attach Jo-Han's (with a bit of tweek I imagine) '64 Dodge Super Stock body to it, to create Junior Johnson's #3 Dodge, or did Dodge and Plymouth use completely different styles of frames?

Beautiful....not only because she's a '13'!

Definitely worth looking into!

Thanks Casey, I'll pick one, or a couple, up this month then! Yip, it's still there Glenn! Too focused on those other things!

While I'm tooling around with, or try to, some other projects that's grounded to a halt (thanks to the workload), I was looking at this '37 again.... As it is, she'll become in the end, hopefully, a fenderless rat rod.... I have no intention of using them there modern thingmajigs in the front/rear end, old school is the way forward sometimes! Which would be the best kit to borrow the front and rear axle from, is there a kit out there where I can get the complete frame (when nobody's looking), should that be easier? Many thanks!

Awesome stuff, thanks! Seriously considering looking for a Milwaukee Road pickup, from about the same era....

Casey, Scott and Michael....awesome, thanks fellas!

Many thanks Richie and Gary, tremendously appreciated! Thought that I snoop around for some suitable wrecker parts as well, while I'm at it....

Beautiful work!

Right.... Being a sucker for old gas stations etc., etc. and having a strong must have feeling about AMT's Texaco Chevrolet 3100 pickup.... As good as it looks in those colours, Mobilgas (Mobiloil) is my big favourite, besides Koppartrans back in Sweden, anyhoo....can you turn this one or any of the 40's and 50's pickups into one belonging to a Mobilgas gas station? If so, did they carry any particular colours as such with AMT's Texaco pickup, haven't had much luck hunting on Google! Those that I've found have been toys....

Many thanks Larry!

Love it!

Thank you very much Jean-Pierre!

Nice one! Probably end up getting one myself as well at some point.... Fully understandable that, nobody likes distorted glass....one of my pet peeves, those molded in exhausts!

My buddy's 300C....it's not his garage here, even though he wishes that!

Cool stuff Bill....and thanks again! Yeah, I do try to keep that wee mojo flame burning, in one way or another....buying more kits/parts being one way! Just bought the '57 Ford 312 Supercharged engine parts on Ebay, thought that I'd try to fit in a '56 Ford Customline 2 Door Sedan, make an old traffic lights warrior of her, that is....if I can still get a resin body! One of the '37 Fords that I'm waiting on, is the Classic Cruiser Sedan....plans for that one: a fenderless rat rod of some sort! Looking at the Chrysler 300 here, one of my very best friends back in Sweden, he owns two '57 Chryslers, one four door New Yorker and a 300C in that almost coffee brown colour, one of 18 I think and with only three left if I remember correctly....

What I'm fiddling with at the moment....the Freightliner is out of the pic, top right corner, she'll be a Consolidated Freighways girl when finished!

Thank you very much Bill, appreciated! Have a few ideas which includes one of these beauties....

Many thanks Richard!

New kid? Not so much a kid maybe, I just stubbornly refuse to accept the fact, that I turned 50 last month....! Greetings fellow earthlings, just signed away my life to join this waterhole, to help get the juices flowing even more in a bit of a situation where the mojo teases and haunts you! As it is, I've mostly tooled around with the 1/72, 1/48, 1/32, 1/35, 1/24 and 1/350 scales and things that goes boom....and I thought that I'd try to be more civilised and dip my toes in the cars etc., etc., pond.... At the moment, I'm playing around with a White Freightliner, a '49 Ford, '51 Chevy and a '57 Chevy, plus I'm waiting for the arrival of three '37 Fords, two Stacey David '32 Rat Roadsters (which I didn't expect to win on the bay) and engine parts....oh, almost forgot, three chopped top '36 Ford bodies is in the mail as well! Also looking to get parts to detail these power eggs, which should be fun....never done that before! Eeerrrrmmmmm....I'm also a bit of rail railfan (huge is closer to the truth), being somewhat obsessed, fanatic with the Milwaukee Road, but that's a completely different story! Love my Mopars, but I do enjoy the other makes as well, all the way up to about -70/71, after that everything went pear shaped, love old school hot rods, kustoms, Nascar....as the saying goes, there's no school like old school! That's enough ramblings for a day, or night, as its 01:56 am here in the UK.... Wait....before I leave, where can I get my dirty mittens on a 1/25 Chrysler 413 Long Cross Ram engine? All the best, Jan
