i really like TXRAT's and Steve Hinson's cars! i have not owned an old car since my daughter was born in 1999. i used to buy a new car every few months as a project , get bored with it and sell it to buy another one....these days i drive an '04 Ford F150 Heritage series single cab, 4speed with manual OD , v6 4.2liter and 2wd. had 24k on it last year when i got it, has about 28k on it now. very clean, low mileage pickup. it's gonna be around for awhile as a daily. i will eventually get another old car cuz that is where my heart is! besides....MUCH easier to understand and work on the old ones. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki wife's car '05 Ford Focus SE ZX4, this year they jumped the HP and did some other stuff, not a bad little car. ignore the wife's finger, it's haunted Hosted on Fotki

I agree with Tim's statement. However , i wanted to toss something out there. Everyone knows the NNL events are the largest and most successful gatherings. I think most of the shows that add "NNL" to their show name just want to attract more people.....even if they are giving awards. These days it's getting harder and harder to bring people to shows. Price of gas is not helping by the way. I had this discussion with Dave Neighbors and Steve Kohler (friends of mine) , who have been doing shows together in Omaha for many years. I was handed the contest portion of the Spring show in February. Now that i am in control of what happens at the show, i have had more thought on what can be done. I really would RATHER do an NNL show instead of the trophy/judging thing. However, i was told that it would never work....that nobody would show up, because they all want a trophy to take home....not really there for social gathering etc etc.... To me, this is not impossible. I want to change it to an NNL. I don't like to stress over raising $600 for trophies and don't look forward to spending two-three hours with several guys picking people's models apart.....that is not my idea of fun. What IS fun to me? I want to see many modelers come together, enjoy themselves, show their models and SHARE the hobby. That is what i go to shows for, whether they are judged or not.....i never care if i win....and i don't go with the intent to kick anyone's butt. I would be more than happy to listen and learn if Tim or anyone has advice. What can i do to make the show worth coming to......and still keep the NNL comradory?

At this point i have three coverages to get done.....i am so dang far behind with things, but i will get them to you soon! Sorry about the wait Greg.

Ed, if you want to see what i did to mine you can click on the photo and see the rest of the pics. sorry they are all out of order though. i used the AMT chassis to get my wheel base so you can use one of them chassis to put under a full body if you want. i however only used it as a measurement and pretty much scratched mine.

elco looks sweet! galaxie is nice too! that elco is making me want to paint something like that!

only 48 hours Robert? ###### you really DID kick my butt! i still have my engine out LOL

Bill, i have seen your work before and well....your user name fits you very well! This kind of detail work actually gets me motivated to detail my own models, thanks for sharing your step by step builds!

OH BOY! This is something i can relate to and enjoy, great topic! I can't decide which is my favorite, but pretty much any thing that came before " retouched photo of actual model" on the bottom corner RULES!

I tell ya what.....this stuff is so cool! Bob has these other prints for only $7 a peice , or you can buy 4 for $25 and that's shipped! I got these 3 , so sorry i don't have the 4th one available to show. Contact me and i will get you the info to order yours before they are GONE! I plan to put these in frames and hang on the wall in my hobby room....can't have enough cool , nostalgic model art! These are original art prints from the Revell 1/32 scale kits! (cropped slightly from my scanner) Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki and if you didn't get THIS one...it's $10 shipped and signed! Hosted on Fotki i am not selling these.....i am simply giving a heads up so you have a chance to get some before they are gone!

lol yep! hard to believe...and yes i have seen her younger-self. glad you guys liked the pics! it was a great weekend!

yep, it's Kandy Organic Green by Black Gold sprayed over Silver Metallic by Dupli Color....both are spray cans. The metal flake sprays realllll nice! thank you sir!

i think this looks SICK! i am not partial to the squiggly lines on the sides, but the paint color and finish, plus the wheels and stance gets an A+ in my book!

thanks, glad you like it!

monster trucks? Hosted on Fotki

Let me start by saying this was my first time at this show. it's more of a 1:1 car show that has added a model contest in it's 3rd year in a row. the show is 28 years old and is all about the "old school" rod, kustoms, drags, bonneville, jalopy.....HEY! , it's just like what we build here on TRaK! ;D When we arrived to Salina, my wife , kid and I hooked up with Mitch Capps and his wife to go out to eat. we had a good time catching up (Mitch and I have known each other a few years). After dinner, we decided to see if the "drags" were going since it rained earlier. when we got out to the old air strip, the cars were running like crazy! It was awesome to see old sleads, rods, gassers and more all running against each other. yep..it was "run what ya brung" , so there was muscle cars and pro streets as well as a rail too. My daughter had never been to the drags with me, so she went and was right there with me and Mitch where they were burning the meats up before lining up. i can't exactly explain how the drags were....but i can tell you this.... a few hundred people, a few hundred cars and the smell of nitro and rubber in the air! After the drags we went to the hotel where i took some pics of cars in the lot. i kid you not....every place you went there was more than 10 old cars, gas stations, hotels, restaurants, streets driving....EVERY WHERE. Saturday rolled around and my wife dropped me off at the show which was held outside in a park with lots of trees. the model area was under a tent with aluminum framing and had very nice looking benches/tables to put the models on. Model Cars Magazine representative , Allen Schmerczech? (sorry i don't know how to spell your name buddy) was taking photos of model cars. I walked around with Ellis Kendrick a good friend of mine from the KC Slammers and took pictures of cars i liked (warning , some had billet lol) there was over 700 cars. all cars were hot rods, kustoms and anything you can think of that was old school..it was awesome! I met Gene Winfield and when i told him about "how i was supposed to be his ride" , he laughed and we got a picture together, it was great! I met George Barris and shook his hand and he asked me where i came from, i said "omaha, ne" and he replied" well that's a long way" etc etc... he said "hey would you like to come back here and get a photo?"....i said SURE! but before that, John D'Agostino asked me to take one of him and George together with me camera....so i did and then John took my camera and took a pic of me with George! what a cool couple of guys! I met Eldon Titus which i had previously spoke with on another message board about going and let me tell you, he is one of the most laid back cool guys i met! we talked a little about how he is trying to get his "Vibrasonic" project turned into a resin kit...so be looking for it! We got a picture together by his car and later on, i ran into Jerry G. from the Coffin Corner and we had a good chat, then he told me he was the one that built the Skeleton by Eldon's car and i took pics of that. we discussed about getting into the car to see how it felt and i said "Hey Eldon, can i get in your car" and he said "yeah you can probably get into it, but you might not get out" .... wahaha!!! he was NOT kidding! see pics in the link below.... Wes Campbell was there with his two beautiful mostly scratchbuilt models. This guy can build some amazing stuff out of aluminum and plastic. he spends over a year on a model, but it's full of details that he makes at home and his engine actually has working parts, very cool! Mad Fabricator's Society Bob Bleed was there. i ran into him at the model tent and said "aren't you from the MFC? and he said yep, i said "i knew it was you! , Bob, my name is Bob etc etc....he had a SWEET '55 chevy with scallops and laced roof (see pics in link) Steve Kohler, Dave Neighbors, Eddie Fickel and Terry Andrews were there for Star Models....one of the only two vendors that showed up. Steve said he did good, so i am sure he will come to the next one. There was several bands there, some comedy also. They held an auto art auction in which some very cool one-off peices sold for good money to donate to MADD. There was guys pin striping in a tent, guys pin striping other tents... they had a garage with some guys by Winfield's booth , chopping the top for an audience. John Milner was there and a "better than the real one" replica of his yellow '32 Coupe. Mitch and I were leaving the hotel and just happened to get behind it at a stop sign , so i took a pic of it through his windsheild...."who can say they were behind MILNER at a stop sign? LOL! way cool! Mark Moriarty had his car there, wow is all i can say! the El Matador was there and so much of a breath taker it is! ######! I am sure i forgot to mention some names....but wow, what a day! towards the awards, i watched Mitch Capps get an award for "best clone" for his Cadster. at that point i had heat stroke and could not stand to be there any longer , went back to the hotel and without describing it....did what a person does when they get sick. I didn't win anything, but i sure a great time and got personal compliments from George Barris on my 60 Desoto , 55 Nomad and 64 Marauder! that was super cool to me! If you didnt know it, or think about it.....i was right in the middle of what could be a once in a life time chance for me.... all of these great all time kustomizers and cool modelers on the same day! omg...i will never forget it! please let me know what you think of the photos and enjoy! PS....there will be more photos coming from Mitch Capps and video from the drags as well as the show SOON! http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc...m-kemps-of-ame/
