hahaha...thanks BoogieMan

My name is James and I have Model Building Issues. Welcome to the club..LOL

Love all the updates..that profile shot is my favorite.

Great save on the moDoor..the top on the AMT does look like it was given a slight chop. At least now the glass is guarantee to fit. The amount of body work is killer so far. I got back burner builds myself..don't rush it.. James

Back on track..Kustom track not the Street Terror track...hahaha Shaved off the door handles and side scripts, also removed the tailgate round thingie... Added the spears to the skirt openings I made them with half round .040" styrene sanded them to a point with a sanding stick. I'm making an orange and white tear drop shifter as soon as I get some orange styrene. Close up pix of tear drop shifter..taken by G.H. This pic taken by G.H. at a RAMS club meet. James aka Joker

Stunnner !

This is what happens when primer is applied.. The black Dupli-Color primer looked sinister.....so I broke out some pinner white walls and stash box rims just for a look see..not too shabby..maybe for my next El Camino ..I'll go Street Terror ! LOL James aka Joker

Thanks Y'all.. Here is Jim Heller's evilbay link..he's from Richmond and a slot car nut ! He dosen't have a web address yet..he is working on one tho. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Hot-Rod-Scallops-1-24-1-25-Waterslide-Decal-511-/221006324790?_trksid=m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D404869475660759055&_qi=RTM1084481 Thanks for the suggestions..but the killer skirts and the two tone metallic orange and white lightning color scheme are set in stone...LOL Might go with some Ben Hur style full wheel covers ...hahahaha

Thanks..the record player came out of the 63 Impala. Built the display table out of styrene and color matched the AMT "Rock-ola" James aka Joker

This build is for another forum (H.A.M.B.) build off,but I thought I'll post it here too. It's a AMT 59 EL Camino. Going to add bubble skirts with 3 spears in each opening. Haven't decided on rolling stock yet. Keeping the original grill and tail lites.Getting rid of the door handles. and the Chevy scripts.Thinking of a two tone finish for this build. And of course ...some scallops This pic shows the 4 Fred Cady decal sheets I picked up from Jim Heller here in Richmond. Got a white,red,gold and silver sets. James aka Joker

Thanks again.. Have a safe holiday celebrating Americas Birthday !

The chassis plumbing work made my brain hurt. Thank goodness it has a flip up body. I'm just ....floored ..flabergasted..in awe..

Thanks Y'all... I appreciated it

To boldly go where no DOC has gone before !

For me...it's Chesterfield Hobbies and my buds in the Model club.

73 Caddy El Dorado ? Jo-Han ?

Dude.. After the EPIC dyno build you are jumping in on a Willy ! mumble grumble...sigh ...suscribed

Rich...if it's just custom paint..don't over think it..just make your choice. If it's body modification..google custom (insert car make here) and look at the images.The H.A.M.B. forum has lots of kustoms and a really good source is Rik Hoving Fotki Page..all makes and builders,painters..etc. Rik's link...http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/ Bookmark it for future use.

a few more... James aka Joker

Dave..I kept the fire wall holes..the only thing I did do was make the opening smaller so that the hood hindges would work. As far as the side hood gap..good ol' styrene will work. Place the hood on the car and you can see how much styrene needed to fill up the huge hindge openings. Keep up the good work

Well people... The solution to my scallop dilema came in the form of Fred Cady Decals.. This pic was taken at a club meeting by G.H.

Here's Chuck Millers truck converted into Eddie Munsters C-Cab with a matching chopper from the Class Action Monte Carlo.

hey Jeremiah..just wondering where you at on the 56. Maybe you are out fishing ....lol
