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-

Plowboy 1941 Ford coupe
Modlbldr replied to thatz4u's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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- -

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-

41 Plymouth Panel Delivery

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

Thanks! Yeah, that's why I didn't get worried about it. I've already brushed on some primer and a couple of coats of paint. I'll give it a few days to harden and then I'll sand it down and see where I'm at. Later-

Thanks Michelle! Later-

This was built because of the engine. I inherited this engine as a started idea from my buddy when he passed. It was kicking around in a parts box for a couple of years before I finally settled on what to put it in. I added the pulleys, belt, exhaust, and wiring. I think this would be quite a hairy ride!

This was built for a 2 month long FB contest using the 64 Impala as a starting point. Figuring most would go with a lowrider or restomod I wanted to do something different. To me, the 64 Impala doesn't lend itself well to a variety of styles. So, what to do? I went with something I had never tried. I used some parts from the Pontiac Banshee and made engine thruster pods from two Apache helicopters as well as parts boxes full of dodads for the underside. I weathered it just a bit. I won 3rd place with this entry. Later-
