  1. I really appreciate your help on this! At the time I was searching for hot rods or customs that people are doing in other countries I'm from America I grew up in the beginning of hot rods in America I have seen or read about American car and personally I get bored reading about the same things Time after Time with people post and collecting photos in Google search. Google thinks all I want to see is American hot rods even when I put cars from Sweden that are customs or hot rods they give me American hot rods I finally through digging hours ran across some of these cars. But I like see foreign cars that have been customized or made into hot rods rather than American cars that are in that country the other people have done.
  2. I really like that style of Volvo I just thought they were the same but thank you for the knowledge I have for it so that if I start looking it up again as a reference I'll go right to it maybe.
  3. This is a first for me a kit I was going to make almost stock but modified as a board track racer like you would see in it's day. It seems AMT repackage the old 1925 model t kit this is what I'm using three issue when I was young I made the bucket ts with a big blown motor never a four banger so now I'm going to attempted with this project.
  4. Thank you for the offer but I think I'm going to leave it as it is and use it as a prop for another project I've started on another project.
  5. Hi folks the body turned out beautiful except for the decals. But the car had a accident it's tow truck material now or garage repair material I broke the windshield in half and I didn't assemble the right side of the front suspension correctly in the wheel leans badly like it hit a curb. Talk about bummed so I put it in the box to punish it until I'm ready to shoot a final photograph of it and post it so folks you'll have to wait but it was a beautiful looking car. Thank you for the comments Stanward
  6. Sorry about my misspelling but the concept car that I was talking about they didn't make a kit or somebody did and here is what it looks like
  7. That's awesome I think I bought this kit years ago the TR3. I knew somebody that had a first year TR3. The Anglia worked out great for this build.
  8. I ran cross this question myself on styrene plastic I've tried Evergreen plastics and what glues will work at the time I was working with HO C channel Evergreen plastics I couldn't get anything to really stick of course this was back in 2000 I had a 32 three window I was building and 53 Ford u/p. I think I better check in on this company it's not too far from where I am.
  9. I like what you are doing. Nice story Pegasus hobby I like the airplanes that's coming out of the front of it. I know Joe in the model I remember when they were in Glendora but a little but they have it one of the times.
  10. Now that all the bright work is done. Now I can put the windows in it step 28 also done.
  11. What are the dimensions are you working on. I have a space problem and storage problem to.
  12. Now this looks like fun as a build ?????
  13. What was the dimensions of your diorama just out of curiosity. I really enjoyed looking at it.
  14. I couldn't find the photo
  15. It's a Morris Minor coupe ?? and he was right the one before was nice I just couldn't find the photo ?
  16. So you like the the megaphone exhaust system let me tell you I was about I was a little kid in 57 a friend of my dad's gave me a magazine sports car in that magazine there was a photograph of a car going around the corner in a road race they mentioned all the other cars except for one the car with the megaphone for years I wondered what it was and I have to thank Stacey Davis and Dennis Gage for making it possible for me to know the car Jay Leno has one it's ouglier than hell.Look up the lane museum the car is Tatra 603 this is a very interesting company it's out of Czechoslovakia in fact Jay Leno had this guy on a show and Jay was really interested in this Tatra he flew out to this guy's museum just to see the car which Jay didn't realize the guy shows up at the airport in the car so Jay gets a ride by the time he left and on the plane he told his people to find one. What's going to blow your mind is the engine the Tatra 600 that Jay got had 85 hp I can't remember when the last car was produced but they managed out of the same motor get 302hp this is real interesting reading this company not only do they build cars but they built commercial trucks too so look up this company but on YouTube I will give you something to put down to watch. 7 Best Vehicles Made By Tatra the orange car is the one with the exhaust. In Czech they are putting these motors in Moto guzzi motorcycles I wonder when Jay will do that at the watering hole he could brag about that and then BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. Kanye West has a video called runaway in that video they have one of the last I believe it was called a MDX there was only four of them built before the tragic incident happened but I'm not going to tell you all about the company you're going to have to read about it yourself and it's going to blow your mind.
  17. I've donated photos to him and sometimes used him with sites I'm a digger for old customs I remember drags remember and what other people are doing in other countries. Do you know what this is what kind of car?
  18. I meant to tell you also are you familiar with this site; georgeklass.net he has a lot of photos and there'd be good for references or you might find something you want might want to build from his collection he's a nice guy.
  19. The first photo is a photo of a Devon the guy that owns the simca retired it because they were closing that class and he didn't want to cut up the simca anymore than it is the car is too valuable as it is but the Devon was built to take the mayor of City of industry Sam Preparion record his AAM/SP class. The magazine cover that particular magazine if you can find one has a story and photos of the simca the roadster was my brother's. If you Google search for the freedom fighter Simca you may find more about it the Devon was stolen and never found.
  20. For the 1965 fall Nationals NHRA Doug cook from stone woods and cook came over to borrow the extra supercharger we had for the final against Big John. We were at the timing booth we just finished our race and one where I was able to watch stone woods beat Big John. We were running a simca sport 9 with a blown Chrysler in a four-speed hydro.
  21. Is this the metropolitan you're talking about I had video of them warming it up in the pits but I can't find it I have to look through some of my SD cards
  22. I was trying to find the old 2 door sedan with the twin port Chevrolet in it with kelty Hayes Wheels it's bitchin. I have video on one at the Moon Christmas show warming up a metropolitan. Here's some of my Wow cars
