'Dr. Cranky' timestamp='1336822882' post='693560'] Wayne, close minded people exist in all hobbies, all walks of life . . . that's how it goes and you can let them get you discouraged. Period. It's a great big world out there with room for everyone, so yes, I agree with you, we must keep at it. That is why I enjoy the club I am in, we all think out side the box--some are WAY out side the box but we like it that way, and we are not "rivet counters" . This is a hobby where you can express your self in your build. and I want to say all of you are doing some great work, please carry on Thank you for the eye candy

Thanks Mark, I used the 426 because the kit "small block" was just--- too small, HAHA, and to drive my purest friends up the wall,

Thank you, had to take a small break from this one but will be back with up dates this week end, and as for the mopar power??? it is me poking fun at my friends who put small block chevy motors in ford hot rods. I also have a build thats called "40w440" which is an amt 40 ford coupe custom chop top, lowered, cycle fenders up front and a 440 wedge for power,

Thanks guys, hope too get some more work done on it soon, but we are re-arranging the model room soo it may be a few days

Hey guys, Small up date, just finished scratch building the front and rear seats, and I had to reposition the seat risers on to the pics Thanks for watching

Count me as a Cranky Head, Thanks to the good Dr. and "the old man" I am back to the enamel side of life and loving it.

Thank you for the kind words guys, I had to take a break after the show but now I'm back to the work bench and hope to have some up date pics later today, been carving some seats so not much to show but lots of styrene "snow" on the floor , Thanks for watching and comments always welcomed

thats a very good looking old kw, and the bull wagon looks perfect behind it

Small up date, She's ready for the show tomorrow,Under construction table let me know what you guys think---good or bad

Thanks guys, Glen, you are right sir. I prefer the look of the sedan so I "butchered" it , and I think it looks much cooler now. Michael, You just have to try my friend, I have been doing this for 40 years, maybe in 40 more I can win at a show, Ken, the 55 is favorite of the tri-fives, I'm trying to get this together for our club contest Saturday for the under construction table, OK enough gabbin small update with pics The heart of the beast and the door comparison Thanks for watching, will have more updates after the show

Thanks guys, I have a lot more work to do, I hope to have more progress pics soon as my camera died after these pics. I am only using the body, frame and dashboard from the kit, the engine and rear axle are from the Don Garlits rear engine dragster, trans from the parts box, and rest will be scratch built.

That is the "S'cool Bus" by monogram, and you'r doing a great job

This is a long term project I'm working on, The "plan" is this will be a custom hot rod, Custom int. "blown" 426 Hemi, ladder bars, tubbed, and low, I started with an old AMT 1/16 scale 55 chevy and a wild idea,, I have corrected the door jams, scratch built and moved the fire wall back about 4 scale inches to have room for a 426 Hemi engine w/4 speed, I narrowed the rear frame, made wheel tubs and trunk floor, scratch built a new floor pan. Let me know what you think Thanks for lookin

Those are way kool, very nice work, would like to see more of your wood work

Matt, that turned out great, I thought you were showing us a 1/1 Thank you for the eye candy

Ken, Your work is fantastic Sir, Thank you for the inspiration, and the eye candy

Hey Doc, Looks like you had a great time, lots of inspirational stuff, Thank you for posting all that gret eye candy, now I am inspired to get back to work on my builds.

Open it up check it out, tell the wife its not for her stash, hide it in my small stash, tell wife its MINE again, and check every day to make sure wife didn't creativly aquire it for her stash, till I can figure how I want to build it

Well I'm kinda in the same boat---I have 2 kids, 3 step kids, 2 adopted kids, and a grand total of----(Hope you guys are sittin down ) 16 grand kids, 8 are from our oldest Daughter,,from 1--15. The "kids" call me pop, the grand kids call me grand pa--or poppa,

Those are Kool, I would like to see them "lit up". BTW where did you get the "mad magazine" graphics ??

Hey Billy, Hope to see you there, I will be the "old bald guy" in a Ed Roth t-shirt,

Thank you Bill, I just want to add that we have more space this year and more FREE vendor space, and we will have a "under construction" display only area---(the only way Iwill have any thing at the show). Thanks for looking

Those are off the chart cool, But the FED Cad looks like Elvis has gone Drag racing and that is too kool

Matt that is one sweet looking bike, makes me want to start on mine again
