That's absolutely insane and I love it. Great job!

<sigh....> Me too....

With some forethought it could be used for almost any build. Frames and wheels always have to be square & perpendicular. I also see multi-piece bodies being jigged too.... not that there's many of those being built or made these days, but it does appear to be useful. I'm an auto technician by trade and know the value of a good tool-jig-fixture-assitance to make your life easier. This is one of those tools. Post away.....

We're hosting tomorrow and are having a half dozen people for dinner. Between the Turkey, Ham, Wine, Scotch, appetizers, soup, stuffing, veggies, salad, etc..... and the baked goods.... I should be in a coma `til Saturday. Enjoy everyone! Have a Happy & Healthy!

I also found a PT Cruiser in storage. Pronto anyone?

You go boy! Looks great with those wheels. Now to splice in the Ford grill......

Wow.... a 2 year old topic gets resurrected! NICE restorations! Those Craftsman Guild contests were before my building years started, but man... some great creations! And with today's colors and finishes they're awesome! Thanks for contributing to this thread!

Saw this at the Garlits Museum a few years ago.....

Nice to see a person with skills....male or female. Her being your girlfriend makes it that much more special for you. Clean and well assembled. If you had any input... ......

And if you do make it out of plastic, you can lay Saran Wrap over the contact points so you don't super-glue your frame to the jig..... I'm stopping at the LHS today for some materials.... I'm curious now.

Nice place to work. I'm hoping to post pictures of my workspace within the next week. I'm off all week and plan on using that time for me. Now you have to post the first build on the bench. BTW: Funny how times change.... When I was younger it was a bottle of Jack and a pack of cigarettes. Now it's Seltzer and an Apple.....

OOoooooh! NICE combo! Talk about having colors POP. Black & Hemi-Orange..... wow. I might use that myself on a project.

BTW: Awesome tip on the radiator. Can't wait to try it in a street rod!

Ryan, this is a beautiful conversion. Please talk to a resin caster and have copies made. Please.... Have you decided on a color choice yet? Personally, I like the two-tone Black over either the deep Red metallic or Graphite. Not sure on the wheels tho`..... I like the polished lip much better. But it's ultimately your build & decision. But have the body cast.... please.

Nice jig. Are you drilling through the side supports into the I beam for the pins? I see countless upgrades and complexity spawning from this idea. Although making it out of brass, or aluminum, so you can solder on it wouldn't be a bad idea....

From certain angles that sure does look like an actual motorcycle. Fantastic finishing and assembling. The seat is an amazing focal point between the finish and detailing. It's perfect. Yet again, beautiful work John.

Speaking of the newest issue...... I opened the sketchpad section and had a pleasant surprise. The first example of customizing a concept car, the Chrysler Atlantic, I did back when the kit first came out! This was also my first model I ever had published too, which was a thrill then, as it is now. Thanks for recognizing a neat idea Chrysler should have done....

I agree with Larry. VERY nice kit.... just too darn big. A 1/25 Split would be great, especially with a Hebmuller option!

Wow.... I just tasted a little vomit in the back of my throat..... Feeble Idiots Attempting Transportation I personally can't wait for the retro Trabant...... I mean, EVERYTHING else is desirable and cute!

They did indeed do a `68 HUG. VERY expensive kit.... if you can find one. It's the one I'm missing. There are resin re-pop's of the Hemi Under Glass body, which was basically a promo body w/o the opening hood. Good luck with your project. Your speaking my language.

Between Ken, George, and Andy's input, I see a scrap of granite counter top with a brass jig attached to it...... Nice work Ken.

Would I do it? $%#@ YEAH!

One thing I've learned when it comes to model building: There is a fine line between WORKING on a model and WALKING on a model. BTW: Dude.... that Citroen engine would look great in a ratty little T bucket.
