Geezerman

I get your point, James. However, it's done. Dude will just have to drive careful. Thanks

Another build with a story DPMCC member Greg sent me parts of this old Lindberg 34 PU. Greg typo'd his name and decided to keep it as his online ID. GERG. As I reworked this old body, the name came to me 'Regergitation'. Anyway, here's the result. Chopped, channelled, scratch and bash, as usual. BTW, I scratched this Hilborn injector for flatheads, and CVG Resins used it as a master and cast it. I don't think he is doing that anymore, concentrating on a hobby store he has. He was quite involved with Detail Master.....so maybe, if anyone is interested.....?

Thanks, everyone. Highboy didn't look too bad, just those awful front tires. I do like the way this turned out. though

Nice lineup of racers. Ambitious project, should be a winner.

Early in the decade, as I was getting back into model cars, I bought three 32 3 window kits. This one I chopped and did a lot of detailing leaving it as a fenderless hi-boy. I was never satisfied with the kit's WIDE front tires, so, early this year when I had no kits or bodies to work with, I decided to change those front tires. I had built this too well evidently. Things started breaking rather than separating, so I tore it completely down and took it in another direction. Even xchanged the engine for a flatty. Headlite shells are custom recessed buckets from something or other (probably the Merc) The ugly front axle is homemade because I broke the original

I was going to reply anyway, but thanks for the diversion. Nice work on the model!!!

I suppose they all look the same, but I had a couple of Mad Magazine FC's several years ago. One I used for parts, and the other one I built just as you have yours, sans body. After I raped the first one, I bought another because the chassis looked so kool! I later modified a 41 Plymouth to fit it. Nice way to get back in business.

Oy ! I thought for a second there you were going to drop that GTX over the funny car frame.

Do it , Ryan "Down n' dirty makes it purty !!!!!!!"

Thanks, george. As a side note, I spent my early and teen years (40's and early 50's) in the Van Dyke and 9 Mile road area. that means I was a punk hoodlum. some people still refer to me as 'messed up"

Thaty's a beautiful model! Super clean and neat work. Nice job !

Spyder, Definitly not to be embarassed. I did not imply that at all. Rather you should be commended and proud that your skills (and determination) was able to let you pull out a great model from the crappy material you had to start with. Your Ford looks great!

Nice lookin material.

This is a resin casting By Drag City Casting. AMT 60 Starliner for a doner kit. Starliner's frame totally reworked to accept the dual Hemis from the Too Much dragster kit. Wheels/tires were from Perry's resin. Lot of scratching and bashing along the way. Build fotos in DPMCC Fotki: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc...ord-ranchwagon/

Nice 'n clean. great color and well detailed. Good work !

Great looking model. Engine is sweet !!!

Great job, MJ.

Thank's, everyone. ddonaca, That's Revell's new 32 sedan lurking back in there. I ain't really happy with the result, and when I run out of stuff to build, That is scheduled to be taken apart and 'Geezerized" properly

I think it's major Kool, SR. Too bad the DPMCC police busted you That was trivial !!!!

Thanks, Kurt. Peter gratz ???? Mlast name is Gratz.

Nice model.

Thanks, I only build in 1/24.

I'm getting a whole lot of deleted photobucket notices, but what I see is awsome. That's a great level of modeling skills, Pancho. Nice work.

Fellow modeler in TRaK that goes by the name 'Outlaw', builds hot rods for a living. He has a beautiful model A that was in the stages of being completed. He mayhave painted it by now, but it was a beautiful 'beater rod'. I told him I wanted to base a model on it and all thru the building process as I posted WIPs, I kept the engine hid, prompting all kinds of guessing. Outlaw has a Chev engine in his 1:1. They all were taken aback when I unveild ny model sporting a Nisson 2000 powerplant. Outlaw, especially, wasn't all that pleased. I had modeled his car perfectly, down to the plywood roof, except for the engine! Hence the name "Outcast" What a fun hobby !!!!

This build is several years old, when I was just getting back into building. Didn't have a lot of 'junkyard' stash then. but it came out pretty good. I was most pleased with how the flathead turned out.
