  1. I named this build ROCK STAR. it's painted entirely with a paint brush. I used four different shades of brown acrylic craft paint and then a semi-gloss black acrylic craft paint and sanded through each layer with sandpaper. The drum set and the flame electric guitar are 3D printed and hand painted to look used. The license plate I custom designed for this specific build. The wheels are Pegasus Sovereign wheels. The was kept chrome plated and painted with flat black acrylic craft paint and then the excess was wiped off with a Kleenex exposing the chrome parts I wanted to keep. The chrome trim is painted with a Molotow Liquid Chrome marker. The interior is painted to look like it's been restored. The engine is completely box stock. The body has been lowered. This was a fun kit to build.

    1941 Plymouth Barnette Hearse

    I named this build HELL'S ANGEL. It has absolutely nothing to do with the biker gang. The "Hell's" part comes from the 3D printed Iceman Collections modern Hellcat engine and the "Angel" part comes from the Kustom Canz Base Pearlz Snow White paint job. The main body of it is a Jimmy Flintstone 1948 Chevy Barnette Hearse resin body with an AMT 1941 Plymouth Coupe front end molded on to it. The interior, the undercarriage, and the frame has been stretched. The interior cab is just the stock front half of the 1941 Plymouth Coupe kit and painted with a Matte Burgundy. The gauge cluster is scaled down from a picture I found on Google. The shifter is from a 1959 Chevy El Camino kit. The rest of the interior is completely scratch built. The casket in the back is 3D printed and painted to match the body. All the windows except for the windshield is made from scrap plastic from some old electronics packages. The wheels are old kit wheels I had laying around. The trim on the rear panel is from a Lindberg 1931 Bugatti Royale Victoria kit. The license plate is one I custom designed for this specific build.

    1960 Chevy Apache Pickup

    I call it TOXIN. It's painted with a Kustom Canz Base Pearlz Sugar Apple. The wheels are from the Fast and Furious Plymouth GTX kit and paint with a Dark Grey primer with a Satin clear coat over the top. The frame is made from scratch. The custom airbag suspension is also completely scratch built. The airbags on the suspension are made out of two rubber o-rings I got at my local hardware store and two Eyelets I found at Hobby Lobby. The fuel cell is 3D printed. I had to cut out the rear wheel tubs and certain spots in the bed in order to get it to sit low. The frame and suspension is painted with a Rust-Oleum Aluminum color. The engine is a 3D printed Iceman Collections modern LS Corvette engine. The engine wiring is done using bead wire I got at one of my local craft stores. I even added a dip stick tube made from a piece of brass tubing. The drive belt is a rubber hair band I got at Walmart. The racing seats and the fire extinguisher came from a diecast 2010 Chevy Camaro kit. The seats are painted with a Matte Black color. The floor mats I designed myself. The shifter was just a part I had laying around. The license plate is one I custom designed for this specific build. I built this for a SEMA themed build off on Instagram in 2020.
