Silvercreeker

Those are from Pro-Tech, I ordered them from ICEMAN Collections. They come in 90' or 45'. They are very small, but worth it

1932 Ford Revell 5 Window Coupe is done and in the case. Has a Steampunk look to it. This one might be my favorite to date. The color is Copper Fire Lacquer from Barbatos Rex over gloss black. All the chrome parts were stripped and replated with Alclad Copper. The firewall is an original wall from Dragcitycastings. The motor is a VCG Resins Offenhauser dual carb Flathead. The wheels are also from VCG Resins, Rocket Igniters with Firestone Champ Dragmasters, painted Gloss black with Copper trim rings. The brakes are VCG Resins front and back and the drive shaft is also from them. The front axle is a dropped unit from ICEMAN Collections and the steering linkage is all custom. The motor is detailed with Protech wires, boots, fuel lines and looms and the beehive oil filter is also from VCG Resins. The rest of the kit is out of the box. I do love the early Ford Hot Rods and this color combo make this stand out on the shelf. Enjoy.

1932 Ford Monogram Hot Rod is done and in the case. This is the kit that everyone was getting at Ollies for about 12 bucks. I figured I would give the kit some much deserved upgrades. The color is Mission Model Iridescent Turquoise and their clear coat. The wheels and tires are from the Revell 29 Model A. The convertible uptop is from Drag City Casting as is the stock fire wall. I had to have a Ford Motor in a Ford so the small block chevy was out and a Flathead Ford went in, with VCG Resins 2 barrel Autolite carb, Cadillac air cleaner, Iceman Collections Navarro Heads, alternator, and coil, Scale Model Garage flex fan and detail masters spark plug wires and fittings. A Parts by Parks aluminum Oil Filter and distributor were added. Iceman front Buick brakes and VCG Resins rear drum brakes. In the interior there is a new release VCG resins chain steering wheel (very cool), and doorknob shifter, and Ken’s fuzzy fur turquoise carpet. Custom headers and aluminum exhaust tips round it out. I do love the early Ford Hot Rods and this color combo make this stand out on the shelf. Enjoy.

I was lucky to buy many back in the early 80’s and stash them for retirement. Here is one of my builds, 74 AMX SCCA race car

Just a easy fun 2 week build. The Monopoly Willys car. How it has that 70’s Zinger Show Car feel to it. Changed the rear tires to Section 8 Hobbies 3D printed wrinkle walls. Paint is Mission Models Tropical Pearl Orange with their clear coat. Wired the engine for a bit more detail. Now back to hot rods, drag and muscle cars. Enjoy!

Lil Red Baron Hot Rod is done. Fun quick build. Body seams filled and smoothed. Metallic red lacquer and Alclad chrome. Wheel backs added and interior gauges added. Matches up nice with the bigger one completed last year. Enjoy.

I have a few of those too. Tom Daniel was a genius!

Just a quick (9 days) Halloween build. I had to give this 1/32 T’Rantula the extra attention to make a nice match for the other T’Rantulas in my collection. The paint is candy lime lacquer with Tamiya clear. Red fuzz interior, wired engine and all the chrome done in Alclad. Decals are vintage first generation T’Rantula that I have been saving for years. A bit yellowed, but gave them life on a deserving build. All the body seams were filled and smoothed. Here she is sitting with her big sister. I’ve loved Tom Daniel kits since the 70’s. Still a blast to build!!! Happy Halloween!

Quick fun build. Tom Daniel’s Hemi Semi. I built this back in ‘71. That one was lost to time. I found this one as a pretty good previous build, but into the stripper, and re-built. Loved the wacky character kits from the 70’s! It’s done and on the shelf…
