ok fellas, i know you think im nutsm but this build(s) has been in the works for the last few years, and now that the kit is out i have to build two of them, one for my Brother, and one for myself. this is the car driven by by Woody harrelson in the movie "kingpin", one of my fave movies of all time........very funny!! its a 1972 oldsmobile cutlass convertible, but it is all beat to hell and back! here are a few shots from the movie, i have plenty more of these coming tomorrow.... this car is definetely beat down! in the beginning of the movie, he has the car, and its brand new, and much like his life it all goes down hill!! LOL stay tuned more to come bryan

that sounds good mike! mine is going to be white exterior, with a satin pebble interior and vinyl top.. ive been sittin for a couple hours diggin up parts, and it will have several machine guns in the trunk along with two "briefcases".......ill leave it to your imagination to whats in them! LOL i also have a couple six packs of beer (cranky ale) for the back seat, and a styrofoam cooler for in the trunk....plus a ton of other stuff. when i finished lookin for that stuff i got back to the display case, and the doors are being stripped as we speak! well, i am shot mike im outta here. have a good nite everyone, cheers bryan

Rob, that looks absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! and i mean that in the nicest way! keep `er goin buddy, its lookin crusrty n rusty, just the way i like them! cheers bryan

ok fellas, this is how far i made it......... i got the left door grille rusting completed......... here it is compared to one that isny rusted and again installed back in the cabinet.... i used mostly mig powders, thinned out with mig reducer......i also used some doc obriens, and my special bottle of "real ground up rust" ( thanks to mike napoleon) tomorrow i will get some paint stripper, does anyone know of anything other to use than "strip ease" its a tad expensive, and im workin on a budget here...........any help is welcome...... one last shot of the door, and thats it for tonight, please lemme know what you think guys........ it still needs some "staining" and "runs" on it here and there so it looks like water has been flowing over it... while the white paint on the wooden part is being stripped i will be starting on that caddy build, im gonna use those caddy hubcaps and wide whites, a 59 caddy engine, again any suggestions you guys can come up with will be greatly appreciated, just keep in mind that im not gonna get into any crazy body work........ LOL thanks for lookin, i hope you have enjoyed it! cheers bryan

i have some smaller things i will put in there too, like some gas pumps and stuff like that... im workin the door grilles now, stripping about 100 coats of paint off of them!! LOL like i said, if you guys have any ideas you think i can use please let me know...........i dont know a whole lot about distressing wood, but i am gonna strip it bare, and go from there........ thanks again! bryan

ok guys, my girlfriend and I went to a yard sale yesterday, and i got this thing for $3.00! thr grilles in the doors will be rusty, as will the hinges and knobs. im also gonna add some glas to the doors.... and another shelf so it will hold three builds. im working on the grilles now, i have to find my palm sander to do the wood.......im going to add some sort of background to it as well behind the cars. any suggestions you guys have are very welcome...........lemme know what ya think........and throw any ideas my way please! cheers bryan

ok here comes my 2nd attemp to post this project............stay tuned! bryan
