I started this project recently. The body was already painted a nice shade of green when I got it but I haven't taken any pics of the body yet. I will do the interior in something close to Buckskin. I started detailing the wheels and painting the chassis and engine. Got the chassis assembled tonight. More pics on my next bench session. I was in need of the white decals since mine are damaged. It looks like Duane Garner has come through for me. Later-

I am in need of the white decals for the Revell 70 Pontiac Firebird. Mine are damaged. I have stuff to trade. Later-

I built this for a build-off on a FB site. Started with the Revell Woody wagon and filled in the rear side windows. Airbrushed it with a base of yellow nail polish, topped with a pearl yellow nail polish. The wood is Krylon Matte Coffee Bean and kit wood decals. I then cleared with airbrushed clear nail polish. I lowered the suspension about 1/8 inch and frenched the headlughts using aluminum tubing. Interior is Krylon Warm Caramel with Krylon Matte Coffee Bean misted over it. The seats were covered with Riesen candy wrappers glued on with wood glue for a worn leather look. The engine is box stock except for plug wires. I swapped the grill, bumpers and Caddy wheel covers from the Revell 49 Mercury sedan kit. Hope you like it. Later-

Finished it last night. Headed to Under Glass. Later-

And, you get to eat the candy..... Later-

Thanks! It is a process that I copied from someone. Use the wrapper from Reisen candies glued on with wood glue. Very simple, but effective. Later-

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-
