started hackin on the ponyack offd half da roof and slid a big heavy armor plate down the middle of the tub, covered the opening after mounting a swivel gun mount base. couple hatches for maintenence, ammo, etc. gonna try some usin some "Cool Foam"(craft item from Michaels) a piece of foam sheet just a hair over 1/16" thick when not squished. the two hatch coversare cut out of it. Gonna see how it works. This was just a quick mock up after I whacked the roof half off, the 'gun' may be differnt, coz it is PONY-ACK ACK ACK, not Pony-WhooshWhoosh Whoosh gotta keep yinz all guessin I be likin what all ya'lls doin too, cant wait to see some more

Dude.........what kinda gun is dat? a beergun? you gonna intoxicate us all? that's cool looking Diymirage, looks like we gonna be seein some interior details, and that gullwing, cool--me like. As fer me slappin glass in the Ponyack, it's just there to be covered. gotta get my torch out and start cuttin-- half dat roof aint gonna be therer just aint enuff room for a roof, an a big gun, if ya knows what I means

Wowser, Flo!! That is lookin freakin awesome! Yer doin the HOK thing on dat aint ya? what colours? why don't ya just drop outa school and get that thing done? Just kiddin dude, it's me, rmember? Sriously, can't wait to see that thing togethre

Well, comrades, heres what's been happenin to my Pony-ack so far, since I got it in the shop, gettin it sorta stock so I can do the mods-- aint gonna have no passengers gun room HEY! watch them stray .50s guys!! this'll look good somewhere .......ack, ack, ack.......

Yeah Jaffa, major bummer, that. I'd love to slap a couple .50s on top of my 06 Caravan and then 'hit' the rush hour idjits I gotta slide yer plow into me PS and put some armour on it or yer gonna be hurtin

Manomanomanoman, Bernard.......I caint say much more than Raul has already said, but you just keep pumpin out these incredibly stanced rods . Since I caint be driving any of em, I gots to do something with em Lookin at yer pics of this got me thinkin......'your' 40SD, as you posted up looks so much like a real rod in the works and being a daily driver while yer gettin the bucks to do more to it, and 'my' version of 'your' 40 could be ifn I stoled it and dropped it an........

SWEET! Nuttin like a Nomad! I used to have a yellow wagon too, almost just like this --cept it didn't have no hemi in it, nor rallye's & big meats--just a problematic straight 6 AMC Sportabout with 4 doors that I had to constantly be replacing/rebuilding the carb coz it were poorly designed-- but it were a yellow wagon!! way cool job Dave

Amen to dat, Jantrix! The perfect forum for gluebombers, eh? Yeah, this is remindin me of when I was a young punk kid just startin with the models--a 62 Rambler American I believe -- some DeathRacer that would make (maybe a jeep type ) Great name for yours btw

"Ok well I've decided to run a 1962 Pontiac Catalina 421 SD. I'll edit this post and add the pic tomorrow because I can't figure out how and my wife is asleep. The 421's name you ask? DISCOMBOBULATED CORPSE TERMINATION SUB-URBANIZATION GOVERNMENTAL-IDATION EXPLOSIVE MONTEZUMAS BLASTING BOWELS REVENGE..................... Just kiddin. She will be called DEKAPITATOR -Will" "I almost picked the 62 Cat also. If I get the GTO done I may do a 62 in old school 2000 guise. Great name by the way. I may have to amend mine." GREAT! Looks like we got a Pontiac Platoon formin up with Pony ack ack ack, Dekapitator, and our little bro, GTObliterator

Hey Dave, that do look better, but now....... about them fins It's almost lookin like a natural that a door handle could end/start that fin. Kudos to you for lettin us all critique this design stage of your Chebby. Good thing it aint a 1:1, but I guess that's why God made patternmakers, huh?

Thanks fer all the tips, Aaron, really cool ideas-and inspirations, but.........."Larger round tubing makes a good exhaust port..... " We're makin DeathRacers, not tuners

Hey Doc, you wanna be "###### Blaque", and I'll be "######'n Cranky"?? or vicey versy? I'll bet Kasteer is doin dat on purpose, usin pssychological weapons on us

yo Rodney I believe you'd have a front row seat of Dirty Harry emptying his 44 at yer perfectly angled windshield right before he 'dissappeared' from view--thump! as for defense, check this out guys-- ifn any of yinz are thinkin of scratchin some weppons The M134 Gatling Gun by Dillon Aero: http://www.dillonaero.com/ I'm thinkin my Pony ACK ACK ACK would look good with one ridin 'shotgun'

WOW! SUPER PICTURE. AINT NO MISTAKIN IT NOW---IT'S A FITTYATE

tha's why dey calls me "######'n"

Know the feeling dude, just caint put a good thing down-- curb feelers would be way cool--how bout radio antenny too?

Lookin fine dued. love that engine compartment. looks kinda pearly--whatre' ya doin fer paint? puttin yer shop name on it? can't wait to see it haulin some parts

Hey Dave, nice to have you n yer AWB roadster back wit us. Lookin goodly, but.... I wonder ifn ya blended the leading edge of dem BIG L O N G fins into the body just back of a line drawn straight up from the leading edge of the real wheel opening. I were eyeballin it perty good, and sompin just seems to be a wee bit outa balance. Mebbe it's coz it looks kinda sexy and dat reminds me o some of dem wimmen I've dealt wif ..... ....I better go do sompin else now

Thanks tons guys. Sure was fun, and I'm glad I did it--NOW. Don't know when I'll do another 1/32, but I aint afeard to now, and I'd encourage anyone else who might be thinkin of tryin one to just do it. Like Factory54 and Dub have said, even buildin this kit outa the box would be cool. Really suprised me the details molded into that little Caddy engine. I always liked them old HAWK, Lindberg, and Pyro kits with no chrome, just 'silver' parts instead. I do gotta say, too, George, you had me wonderin there for a spell with yer callin me yo son --Geezoman, George! I aint right ta beginns wiff, specially wondrin ifn Gramps is me pap??? so's I checked yer birfday---April Foosl day!!! 1953!! ---WHEW! coz far as I been told I popped in 52, n efen I knos me pappy caint had beend borned affer me!! (right? )

Don't worry bout Evil takin it the wrong way, Ken. He can take it. Man, Evil, that's a really sweet color, and dat outdoor lighting and the BMF really set it off. But like Ken says, (an my bein the ######'n , I knows ###### when I sees it......so yeah), wash dat grille with some black. I aint tried it yet, but a aeroplane model builder buddy o mine uses black poster paint (aka tempera paint) to get the same effect. He just paints it on almost full strength, so it sticks coz it's water based, lets it dry then just rub it off the raised parts. It dries flat and looks way real. BTW, is you sayin yer buildin is evolving or you is evolving??

I be startin with this big ol Pony-ackk and this here Merc probly gonna be 'found on road dead' all shot up
