  1. Hi! Sad news. Mr. White was certainly one of the best when it came to early rods. An inspiration for me. RIP. CT
  2. Thanks David! For it to "pop", you need a white basecoat or primer underneath. Otherwise, it's darker. CT
  3. Hi Mike! Thanks for the pics. Many great paint ideas here, bravo! VT
  4. Thanks Greg! I've tried to perfect this kind of hinges, and adapt it to even the most tight of situations. So far, it works well, even under the hood of 30's cars.See pics below. CT
  5. Hi! Very sad, was there in 1991, and it is still in my memories. CT
  6. Hi Phil! Great deuce. bravo! I like the "etched" side wings detail! CT
  7. Thank you Bill! I try harder the older I get... CT
  8. Thanks Gene! I guess you could say it's a "mash-up pick-up" of sorts... CT
  9. Hi Bruce! Great Cuda, your finish is perfect, as usual. Here's what I did with mine (V10 and many mods, no rear seat neither!). CT
  10. Thanks David! At the NSRA Burlington, about 15 years ago, I saw a 1/1 30 Ford sedan that what subject to the same "flowing quarter panels" treatment. It made a good impression on me! CT
  11. Thanks Carl! You may have seen a few on this forum in the last years, however. CT
  12. Hi! Legend has it that the idea for the car/pick-up hybrid came from Ford of Australia, when banks would lend money only on vehicles that "you could work with". The depression pushed ol' Henry to say yes out of financial savvy. So... Take Revell's Buttera sedan, alternate 29 roadster chassis and grille/rad combo, and Copperhead rolling stock, plus AMT's 32 Ford fenders, and 4.3L V6, all extensively modified. Scratchbuilt: roof, firewall, bed floor, long hood & side panels, interior panels and console, hood hinge, tailights, rear suspension bars, quarter-elliptic front suspension, axle, rack & pinion,brakes. Tamya's Pearl yellow, fully polished. Revell's spray chrome & Molotow accents. Hours of fun with styrene! CT
