Very cool... Loved those cars back in the day!!!

Old MPC Keep On Truckin' '32 Ford sedan delivery street rod kit, from the 70's, given the 60's gasser treatment.... Front suspension modified with tube straight axle from IMC's rare VW gasser , mounted to the MPC kit spring, to get that gasser stance... Wheels and tires are AMT Parts Pack.... Injected small block Chevy was pieced together from stuff I found digging through my many parts boxes... Running boards were removed for a bit of "weight reduction", while front fenders were bobbed to clear those cool exhaust headers... Paint is an Evening Orchid enamel, that a buddy of mine got for me from his local job shop... Decals from Fremont Racing. Since this kit finally been reissued by round2, y'all could build one of these of your own, if you're so inclined!!!

Moebius' outstanding S/FX Plymouth kit, with an OLD set of decals, from Fremont racing, that I've had laying around for a decade or so, of local racing legend, Lee Smith ....
-
AMT's old Orange Blossom Special pulling truck for the cab, bed and fenders.... Chassis from Revell "Big John" Willys coupe, stretched to match the pickup's wheelbase. Engine is supercharged big block Chevy, pieced together from several sources... Paint is Tamiya Orange... Decals are Slixx.

Hi all.... Been a long time since I last posted here. Maybe I'll start checking in more frequently once again... Maybe even share a build or two.

It was GREAT meeting you at Les' place, and seeing your models in person, Ken! Kerry is absolutely right.... Pics don't do this model justice..... I was blown away by it, at the Build n Bull, yesterday!!!!
-
WOW!!!!! That is truly GORGEOUS!!!!!!
-
Oooohhhhh!!!!! You gotta keep goin' on this one, Raul!!! I too am really diggin' that interior..... The body mods and color seem to be workin' too. The only things that I would change would be to drop the rear a bit and go to a more traditional spoked type mag.... the Camaro wheels actually make it look a bit dated, IMHO.
-
Oh yeah!!!!! That does work!!! Thank you very much for the input, Raul!!!!!

Revell's Impala snapper given the "Nitro Marty" treatment.... Shaved, slammed on "Hoppin' Hydro's" 20s, smoothed and two toned!!!!! Rear spoiler is from Revell's '06 Mustang.... Paint is Shimmrins Pearl Black and Candy Red. As always, your questions, comments and concerns are welcomed!
-
Here's a real quick slammer style "what if" that I threw together when the AMT Camaro kit first came out....... Cheap dollar store enamel paint, Competition Resins hood scoop, Fred Cady decals, Steve Milberry wheels up front on Revell tires and "Creepy T" wheels out back on Satco slicks No interior, no chassis, no drive train.....Just Fun!!!!!
-
Perfect!!!!! Color, stance, finish...... I really dig everything about this car!!!!!
-
Here's one that's been together for a decade or so years........ JoHan's old '62 300 kit was shaved, smoothed, coated in Testors "50s Aqua and Metallic Black and slammed to the ground on AMT Chrysler Concept (Copperhead) wheels and tires. Oh yeah.... And the reason for the "V" in 300V..... As always, your questions, comments and concerns are welcomed!

NICE!!!! You've gotta finish that puppy!!!!!! BTW.... "Mommy Mobile"??? I like that!!!!!!! LOL

Somtimes I just want to build something that is simple yet unique.... That's when I start lookin' at my stash of promos. Promo models from the 80s and 90s (even a few from the mid and late 70s) are cheap and plentiful and can be a real hoot to play around with! Here's a couple of examples..... I started with this..... And wound up with this..... This '88 Taurus was inspired by a co-worker's son's everyday high school cruiser... It was lowered and wears a set of 20" wheels by Hoppin' Hydros... Paint is Duplicolor automotive touch up lacquer. Here's another..... I started with this..... And this is the final result....... Once again, this Geo Stormwas lowered... Wheels, tires and rotors are from some forgotten source.... Revells' PT Cruiser perhaps? Paint is Tamiya Candy Lime Green over Tamiya Gold Leaf. I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I sure have fun building stuff like this!
-
VERY NICE!!!!! I built an AWB Nomad a couple of years, but it didn't turn nearly as nice as that one.... I'm REALLY diggin' it!!!!
-
Cool concept!!! I'd really like to see more pics of it taken in better lighting too please! Did you scatchbuild the front airdam??? I really like the looks of it! Also... Is that the stock hood in the backgroud and if so, does ot fit? Would look really good with a cowl induction style hood, IMHO.
-
WOW!!!! That is truly gorgeous Bob!!!!!

Thanks for all the compliments guys!!! This car, the "Telstar" Challenger that I posted a few days ago, the "Chi-Town Hustler" Charger, The "Ramchargers" Dart and Beswick's "Boss Bird are all cars that impressed me to such a great degree back in the day, that building models of them all has been a real goal of mine for most of my life.... Slowly but surely I'm gettin' there!!!! BTW, Andy...... I picked up one of your "Bug Zapper" VW F/C kit and I'm planning on using it to build a "what if" version of the DuraChrome Bug!

This is my favorite model that I have ever built.... I fell in love with the real car when I was a kid of about 8 or 9 and had wanted to build a model of it from that time I started construction on this some time around 1989 and worked on it from time to time until I finally finished it last February. Please note that this is not a resin body (none were available when I started this project).... I made it by modifying a Revell VW. The chassis was made from two AMT Gremlin funny car chassis and all together, parts from more than 20 kits were used by the time I was finished with it. Paint is DupliColor rattle can and decals were made by Billy Gooche.... Hope you like it!

Oh Yeah..... I really like that!!!!!! Those red scallops look fantastic on a black car!
