I haven’t done any Pintos yet.

Being a Western NY’er, need to do it. Wish I could find some Buffalo Bills license plate frames😂

The Bikini Express is done. This is the Revell Patent Pending Dr. Krook C-Cab kit from the 70’s. It has the Revell Corvair Flat 6 with VCG Resin weber carbs, Ice Man Collections alternator. Pro-Tech sparkplug wires, Parts by Parks aluminum coil, Texas 3D distributor, and Mr. Model Aluminum Mufflers. The crazy wheels and tires are from 3D printed “copies’ of the wide Richard Carroll Tires printed by Ron Olsen (Thanks!!!). Color is airbrushed Testors Icy Blue Lacquer decanted and Tamiya Black and Iron Black. Decals are from the Fruit Wagon kit and Slixx decals. Interior has Iceman Collections rear door handles, Mr. Model Foot gas, clutch and brake pedals, Gofer Racing etched dash, a cool VCG resins Bomb shifter and a 3D printed 8-track player. And a Surf Shark Surfboard and rack. All chrome was stripped and repainted with Revell Chrome or Alclad. Just a super fun cool looking C-Cab Hotrod. Enjoy.

ALL DONE!!! Full write up in under glass....that was a fun one!!!

I’m at a point in my life where if I’m not going to sell it, I’ll build it for the fun and take to shows so people can see how cool these kits were. Also the box was real bad and I know the collectors love the boxes.

Last night of building. Should be done tomorrow evening. I’ll post full pics on Under Glass. Home stretch!

The December 96 issue of SAE has a great article on how to replicate Milner’s. Best Auto on eBay sell license plates for it too

I have the same project coming up next on deck. Yes I plan out several builds in advance and only build one at a time. The Drag City Casting 32 Chop is very close to the actual chop, and Model Car Garage has a chopped 32 Grill, which Milner's had. But a hot rod is a hot rod, if you are building an exact replica of Milners, there are a lot of subtle things.

I know. When I posted the original post I saw I miss spelled it. Could not figure out how to correct it. It’s almost done so when I post in under glass it will be corrected

The Bikini Express is a roller! Now working on the interior, probably another week. Gotta love the 8-track player in the dash!

Just a teaser. First coat of Icy Blue Metallic is on. Home stretch!

Lots of squaring up and taping to the jig to ensure this 45+ year old kit is straight. Ready for primer. Red plastic can be problematic when going to a lighter color. All chrome was stripped and chromed with Revell

I was at a show today and a guy wanted 140 for the T-Bone kit. And it was open and started. It was still there when I left. They are out there. I only paid 30 for this and it was all there just the decals were shot.

Motor is done now on to the frame

Ron Olsen on Facebook has the files and he was printing them last fall. I picked up 2 sets with Cragar wheels for them. The print is great. I know he sells the files for those wheels too.
