That looks wonderful. Love the bullet holes. Lots of details to admire and ogle in this one. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing the eye candy.

Hum, I gotta swing by with my cupon!

Oh man, the minute I read the title of this thread, I ran here and Surprise, SURPRISE! Yes, it's a Zombie roller machine. Love it. It's a monster all right. Tells more about your plans for it. How are you going to do the paint? What else are you adding to it? Oh, this one is going to be fun.

I keep coming back to look at your wonderful engine.

That's beautiful. The color is right, and eveything about it reads HOT ROD. Congratulations.

I thought it'd be interesting to get a discussion started about what YOU think your weaknesses are as a builder. God knows we all have them, no matter how sound and practiced your techniques are . . . I will speak for myself here, but I am entering my fourteenth year back in the hobby, and almost a hundred builds later, I find that no matter how hard I try I still hate to foil trim and windshields. I don't know what it is, I just don't enjoy it like other parts of the hobby. And I suck at it. Another weakness I have (among many) is the fact that when it comes to engines, I know nothing about how they work, how they should be plumbed and wired. The ones I do I pretty much have been paying attention to what you guys do, and then follow along . . . Math, another impediment for getting things right. Here in the Lab-RAT-ory we uses eyeball engineering . . . I have never been able to keep anything mathematical straight in my head. Electricity . . . well, I have yet to add lights to any of my builds, and I regret not being able to do it . . . The list goes on and on . . . I hope you guys will chime in and enjoy the discussion . . .

Thanks, Danny.

You are hitting homeruns here, buddy. Great details and the color is just wild enough to really make this one get noticed! Eat a couple of scrapple sandwiches and keep it going.

Thanks, Ron. Your work also brings a smile to my face and it makes EYEGORE salivate!

Well done, very striking in the red and blue. Excellent.

Thanks, Joe. Yes, I am still tinkering with a few things, but I'm also gearing up to build now new (I mean old) 41 Willyses! I just love that kit.

Thanks, Dan, here at the Lab-RAT-ory the CREW always strives for WRONG whenever possible! LOL. Of course, by all means, use it, and please email me a copy when it is done for my scrap book! THANK YOU!

Derrick, don't forget our daily allowance of eye candy, please!

Oh my, that looks beautiful. Can you share more pictures of it with us, please?

Thanks, Jeff. LONG LIVE RUST!

Thanks, everyone. We'll keep on building and sharing the builds here cause you guys keep feeding me energy through your work. Nate Greco is fabulous. I really like his stuff, and someone should do his infamous DISTURBING THE GREASE Caddy Hearse.

Amazing. This build just keeps getting better and better. I can't believe you hand-painted the wheels and they look so good. What are you? A brain surgeon, what steady hands. Keep it going.

Adam, I appreciate the the suggestions, and the instructions. I agree, it think it's going to give it even more to look at. Thanks, buddy. Keep up the styrene addiction! Cheers, DC

Love this one because it is so over the top! Love it.

Thanks, CRANKYHEADS! You are all styrene addicts! Sure.

Thanks, Harry.

Thanks, everyone. Terry, yes, I am already lining up a few more projects.

Nice color, it looks like if you use decals or graphics they are going to really stand out. Nice.

Thanks, Tony and Jim and everyone who tuned in . . . I appreciate the support.

Once again, I have to give thanks to Nate Greco for the illustration that sparked the momentary insanity!
