J.B. Customs

I found them on eBay surfing for parts the rims are resin cast and the slicks are pad printed M&H Racemasters with the choice of 3 different sizes

Kool?

Thanks, This was supposed to be a quick and easy build

Thank You, Turned out better than I thought it would I painted tan and went over with a little gloss black

Trying to finish up the interior still need to finish up making a roll bar and installing racing harnesses and touching up the the things that show up in pictures. Slowly trudging on

Always been something about the image of the death dealer since I seen it on my first Molly Hatchet album in 1978

Well after after making some exhaust modifications using the other motor for a mock up and some minor chassis mods the new 572 sets properly. This is not going as easily as I thought it would

Well trimmed it out with everything that I am not good with bare metal foil, and the molotow chrome pen not quite perfect but I guess it will do for now it did help break up the darkness and did find a picture of a dark blue Monte

Never thought about using a t-shirt(that’s cool) I’ve seen a lot of tutorials using masking tape

Amazingly even with the 572 there is still quite a bit of space between the radiator and engine

Well I was hoping for a lighter blue I am hoping once I get all of the trim work done it will set the blue off its just a little darker then I was shooting for

Well playing with the suspension and the interior unfortunately I have been trying to replumb the headers so they can clear the A arms there’s always something ?

? dang I should have asked sooner Thank You

I have been on the forum for a little over a year now and I have been just building semi trucks last year I stepped out of my comfort zone and built my first fire truck the help that I received from the other members was amazing I’m glad to be a member of the community

I have noticed where someone has answered a question in a post and it shows up below the question ask in the same post how is that done I can not seem to figure it out

I have mini tubed the rear fender wells and widened the front chassis rails to make room for the 572 crate motor

Yes I believe it is the later version I picked it up at hobby lobby off the clearance shelf about 3 years ago for 7.95 I just couldn’t pass it up at that price. I have been hesitant about building a model car after seeing the cars at the model shows with all the detailing done and actually I guess that this is my third build this year I won a 1/32 59 caddy in the raffle at the IPMS Show in Indianapolis last year and I painted it and never put it together but I did and that was my first shot at foiling and this year at the IPMS show I won a snap tite kit so I guess that these kits helped build my confidence to do something different

Building a 1970’s era pro street

I built this truck in honor of my father. The roof and cab back are 3D printed, resin hood, the stacks, bumper, and corner sticks are aluminum, the chassis shortened 3/4”, and a few hand crafted parts and salvage yard parts. My dad started driving truck in the 50’s purchased his 1st truck in 65 he raced the Liberty Belle in the late 70’s into the early 80’s he retired in January 2023 at the age of 87 witch of the last 17 years he drove for Rochester Iron & Metal, he believed that if the wheels weren’t turning you weren’t making any money, you couldn’t make money letting someone else work on your truck, and a real race truck could pull a trailer, he passed away in August 2023

Still have to do some modifications underneath the hood still not tilting back to the cab enough

Just a little bit at a time still a lot of small stuff to do

SUPER KOOL ?

The roof is 3D printed, and it is a 1/24 AMT kit not a die cast. The frame rails have been shortened 3/4” the original batterie boxes revamped and the unused bunk used to make the lower panel’s below the doors and the cabs air ride

Going to take some work
