Wanted Jo-Han 1961 Oldsmobile 88 4 Door Rear Bumper
Drag Monster replied to Drag Monster's topic in Wanted!
Still Looking! -
Condition of chrome not important. Much to trade!

Been working on this for some time, had to straighten several parts but missed the warp on the chassis. I had to add some blocks to get the body parts sit level and line up properly, but overall I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome. Question, did any of the moebius truck kits have decals for the hood lettering, I'm looking for a fool proof method to chrome the FORD script on the front edge of the hood.

Drag Monster replied to Drag Monster's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
unfortunately there has not been much progress on this project since the last post. I had to pack away all my projects due to having to relocate but this in on the top of my list to complete once I'm settled at the new Location. -
Sweet Build, Stunning!

These are some older customs I did about 15 years ago. Hot Wheels did a feature article on their web site about my customs. I wonder if they got the idea for the recent gasser cars they have been producing from these.

JoHan 1970 Javelin Funny Car Restoration

I started restoration on this some time ago, several pieces were missing or damaged during the disassembly. Some of the parts were replaced by members of this board or replaced using a MPC Dyno Don Cougar as a donor. This is the first JoHan Funny Car with this type of chassis I have built, it's a very finicky build. This is the progress so far.

AMT Red Alert Chevelle

I just purchased a lot of kits and there was a AMT Red Alert Chevelle in the batch. I inventoried the kit and it is missing the radiator support (shown in the instructions) but the body in the kit has the support molded in. I have searched the internet and every 70-72 chevelle body I could find does not have this piece molded in. Any clue what kit this body is from? There are no numbers or writing molded in the underside of the part. The chassis hood and interior fit perfect.

These kits were a great concept but the fit on the parts were the worst. It's a real challenge to produce a decent looking finished product. I thought this would be a quick out of the box build, was I wrong. I must have used a half of tube of epoxy to hold this one together.

The 63 Vette Gasser is complete minus graphics. I'm still looking for some appropriate decals to finish her off, Suggestions welcome. The color is actually more of a eggplant color in person, I need to take some photos with better lighting.

Starting to see some progress. Most of chassis and interior done, paint on body is cured enough to start working on detailing it.
-
Most of the paints were mixed using Model Master and Testors. They might not be 100% accurate but they looked close enough to me.
