Got the interior finished today and made the frenched headlights by using aluminum tubing and the lenses. Getting closer. Work on the engine next. Later-

I've been working on this one for the last month. Converted the woody wagon to a panel. Airbrush painted it a pearl yellow nail polish. Clear is also nail polish. Wood is Krylon Matte Coffee Bean with the kit decals. The interior is done with the exception of the seats. I used the Caddy Sombreros from the 49 Mercury Sedan. Just installed the glass. Hoping to get this done by the end of next week. Later-

I had this Jimmy Flintstone body years ago. It was combined with the Thom Taylor 34 Cabriolet kit. In the end the body fit the fender unit like garbage, but that may be because I put it in my dehydrator. Since doing that I have found that Flintstone bodies don't do good in my dehydrator. I had a 53 Ford wagon that slightly warped and now I realize that the 34 Ford may have done the same. Anywho, with the help of lots of superglue and activator, it turned out to be a decent shelf model and I'm glad to have it finished. Later-

I finished this thing up a couple weeks ago. This did not turn out as well as I wanted. The body did not fit well with the kit fenders but I got it crammed together with lots of super glue and activator. At least it will look good on my shelf. I call it "Shades of the 90's" since it looks like something you would have seen in Street Rodder magazine back then. Later-

Yeah, I want that! I got your PM. Later-

So, nobody has anything like this? Later-

Anybody? Anything? Later-

No it wont. It's a different design. Thanks though. Later-

I need a hood for a 60 Invicta or a damaged body that I can cut the hood from. Anybody got such an animal? Later-

PM sent Later-

Sorry. I haven't been available for a while in order to respond. Thanks! I found what I need. Later-

PM sent Later-

AMT would be best since it's 1/25. Going on a scratchbuilt project. Bed and rear fenders (since they are seperate) Later-

Looking for the bed for any issue of the 53-56 Ford pickup. Don't need the tailgate. Have stuff to trade. Later-

Not yet but I have wanted to for a while and I keep getting closer to doing it. Got the 41 and I have a 48 body that someone poorly started sanding the detail off. I need to find a clean, fresh 48 body first. Later-

Bit of a mock up on my latest project "Shades of the 90's". Later-

I don't remember where they came from. I've had them kicking arouns for years. I would luke to find some more. I sanded the backs of them so that the spokes are open. Later-

Thanks Sam! Yes, I'm hoping to find something like a thin (maybe 1/16 inch) lime green or light green stripe in my stash of decals. Later-

Wow Steve! I haven't been around the site much lately so I missed this one. I just now sat down and read through all 5 pages! Now I'm run ing late to get my running done but had to say what an amazing tribute build to Roger. I really loved seeing Roger's builds and chatting with him. He was a superb builder and an even better ambassador for our hobby. Always willing to share his knowledge and skills. I moved to western Kentucky in Feb 2022 and wanted to meet up with him to visit. Unfortunately he passed before I could. And what a shock it was to hear he had passed. I was really enjoying his work he was doing on his GTO wagon when he passed. I'd love to get ahold of that to finish it but...oh well. I think he would have really enjoyed seeing your work on this tribute. I know I like how it is turning iut. Glad to see you made it a unibody and are using the Suoer Stallion engine. I'll be watching. Later-

Thanks! I was just thinking this morning of calling it "Shades of the 90's". It reminds me of looking through the old Street Rodder magazines in the 90's. Here it is mocked up after I painted the upper body last night. Unfortunately it has a bit of trash in the paint on the roof. I'm afraid to mess with it because it will be a bear to blend in. Got to lower the height of the radiator a bit. It's making the hood sit too high. Now to find some light green pinstripe. Later-

I bought this body years ago from Jimmy Flintstone's site. It is some sort of fictional sedan delivery. I am using the Revell Thom Taylor 34 as the parts kit. I lowered the suspension and it is completed. Paint is airbrushed green nail polish. The white is Rustoleum White primer with Pearl White nail polish airbrushed over it. Thinking I'll do a light green pinstripe between the two colors. I still need to scratchbuild some interior panels for the cargo area. Later-

Thanks evwryone. Finally took some outdoor shots. Don't know if they are any better but.... Later-

Thanks everybody. As soon as the liquid sunshine gets replaced with real sunshine I'll get some better pics. Later'

Just finished this tonight. Got the primed body and chassis off of a guy on FB. Airbrushed it with some color shift nail polish. Added an engine and tires/wheels from the parts box. Decals are from the Revell 57 Ford wagon and the PE emblem was taken from a sheet for a PT Cruiser. Later-

Still plugging along focusing mainly on the 41 Plymouth. Havent had much serious build time lately. Been working on the chassis and interior of the Plymouth. I have the ride height set. Those big wheels really make the body look short. Later-
