Thats one sweet lookin 55!! Sharp and clean! Manny

Hey Thomas, the grinder is sweet! I like the way you made the stand for it. Manny

LOL oh ok then! That cool, it will be a good project for sure. i did a small tutorial on how to make the drop ceiling if interested just let me know ill send you the link to it! Manny Thanks Jim!

Your welcome highway! It would be cool to see your dio when ya get it started also! There so much fun to build. have you planed it out at all? how many bays etc... details details man! lol Manny

thanks guys! that sounds cool highway! The car lift is from the Fujimi kit. I did scratchbuild one before dont know if i have a pic of it though. Manny

Nice paint color combo and graphic! Cool to see the doors and trunk lid open on this too! Manny

Thanks Thomas for the complements! Ony difference between our lathes is older and newer lol. yours is awesome I love that style and yours looks real as well! I agree...I like to scratchbuild my own stuf to most of the time. Manny thanks again

thats one beautiful car! Awesome throughout and detailing! Looks like a real car! Manny

Awesome lathe! That would be cool if you cast it too. you dont see to many older style lathe's available. I know a couple anyway but yours has more detail and looks 100% better in my opinion. Adding some aluminum shavings etc would give it that much more detail i agree! Manny

Hello modelers! I built this dio about 5-6 yrs ago and just sold it last year. Im working on another one now and will get some new pics up soon. Its a little smaller then the other one, however im going to make it bigger as time goes on. Never have enough room though right? lol Well here is one shot from the back of the shop, and you can see all the other pictures of it here: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/club-storage/craig_hosfelds_mode/dioramas/current_garage_diorama/ Some other machines etc: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/club-storage/craig_hosfelds_mode/scratchbuilt_items/tools_and_machinery/ Also most all of the machines, boxes etc are scratchbuilt and made by me. The lathe (newer style) i cast and have been selling for around 4yrs now. kit has around 40+ parts to it with instructions and has, resin parts, aluminum and plastic parts to it. The lathe shown in this dio was the first one I can post a pic of the new one that has had many upgrades to it since then. It comes with doors and aluminum handles, the doors go on each side of the cabnet. Thanks for looking!! Manny

Hey Tony, Sweet, love the wheels. Color is nice on it. I just bought a 09 Challenger kit Sat. and it dosnt have the engine, etc. and was $20!!! geez. Well after seeing yours i know I bought the wrong one to detail so I guess ill build mine box stock now lol. Manny

Thanks Brian! Im thinking HOK Brandy Wine over Orian Silver base when I re-due the blazer. No flames, maybe some kind of graphics.. Manny

Sweet Scout Chuck! BTW: I saw your red pro street truck on old mans thread, that would be a cool restore if you deciede to! Sweet truck anyway like it is! Manny

Hey Mike, After just talking with ya about this, its gonna be sweet! Manny

Hey Joe, your welcome hope it will help ya. PM sent. Thanks Manny

Thanks Joe! The 572BB are from VCG Resins (me) I dont have any pics of the chassis tubs on this blazer but I will when I restore it. This is a link to a 72 Nova I started about 5 years ago, hope this helps: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/club-storage/craig_hosfelds_mode/gassers__old_drag_cars/72-nova-pro-stock/ Manny

Very cool ill be watching this build. Good work so far for not building much! Manny

Hello modelers! I made this blazer around 4years ago. The first pic was just after it was finished and mocked up. I used one of my 572BB engines in it and have changed the intakes back and forth. Couldnt deciede to go with a blower or tunnel ram. Well I thought I should show this before I strip the paint and give it a new paint job and add some extra details and change a few things. I will post all new stuff in the WIP section Thanks for looking! Manny
