hi all, sorry i haven't been on in a while, but i thot this site was hit by a big virus and shut down, the truck is coming along just fine, i reshaped the rear end, still kept it rear engined, i've designed my own panels and so on, should look stunningly kewl when it's all done rob

pics soon to arrive!

very VERY kewl!!!

yes,i love the gt40 that i grafted onto it

i ended up cutting the vette rear end off, and replacing it with a much more suitable clean flowing rear section, i went through many new models to finally end up with what i was looking for pics up this week

NEW PICTURES TO SHOW UP SOON!!!

WOW, everyone here is so helpful, and really knows their stuff too, i'm glad i joined this site, and have already made a few good friends here, this gives me more information to think about while shopping for an airbrush, i'm not too worried about the cost as i'll be having it for a long long time, and i mite even buy a single and a dual action and work with both of them, i didn't even think about having a water trap, but what a great idea to keep it all clean, and since i built a super clean, and bright spray booth with ventilation and pre and aft filters, i want to keep everything in my favour for when i do my spraying, anyhow, thank you soooo much everyone, rob

Hi all, I'm looking to buy an airbrush and a compressor. But I have never been out shopping for one before. I know I want a dual action unit, and one that is adjustable in air and paint settings. So my fellow modellers, please give me information to help me choose, and any recommendations on what you are using, and if you would recommend me getting the same, and where can I order one. Thank you so very much guys. Robert. p.s. please check out my truck in the 'on the workbench' section, thanks. Robert...

this one has a 3 port exhaust in the last picture. and did you notice the little flare style rear fenders? Robert Hosted on Fotki

well, what i have is the typical revell '41 willy's street rod, but, i think up alll of my ideas and then photoshop them up, and then i build them, i'm not building a metal car, but i am building a plastic one, i use my small bandsaw to slice things up nice and neatly and use alot of new donor models to build each one, ya they end up costong alot and taking a while to finish, but they look amazing when done up. Robert

thank you so much, it's funny how you find just the rite picture, and you get a little carried away with it, haha thanks,,, here's another one i'm working on to start building after i'm done my 56 ford truck kustom. robert.

hi mike, i like your idea, thank you v ery much! rob

thanks everyone, i've been building models like this all my life. i have used up to 14 models to build one single model taking as long as 4months but i end up just putting them back in a box to be hidden away in the closet, i guess its time to start pulling them out for some pictures. thanks everyone! Rob

hey casey, i think you are right about the tail gate section, about how if i make it resemble the back window it will look much better, complimenting them to each other, thanks for all your comments too, always welcome the feedback. Rob

that's a deadly start, to a killer truck! me likey! Rob

WOW, what a great idea, now i know why i took time to join this forum, it's the only one i've every joined and i'm glad of it, everyone is great, gets along very well with others, and everyone is willing to share all their tips, tricks, ideas, and projects with pleasure, a far cry from what it used to be like,,, where no one shared any secrets, i love this site!!! Rob

OMG, i just read the post on how to post pictures properly, and i got it right, i love it, even tho my pics don't look at great i like that i am now able to post the same size pictures as i like to see on everyone else's posts, yay me, haha rob

This is my 1956 Ford truck, chopped the roof, tilted the b-pillar,sectioned the cab and hood, replaced the box with the back of a corvette, cut out the vette sides to fit in the box rear fenders, the rear fender is just sitting in place not lined up or anything, the rear window surround is also not in place, the engine area is now in the back, as i have my gt-40 engine/chassis set up to fit neatly in the rear, using gt-40 suspension front and back, and floorpan , the interior is also gt-40, the tires i'm not sure what i'm using just yet, but will be proportional and tidy, not overkill, i still have to decide weather i'm keeping the rear of the vette or to change it up with something else,the rear window of the cab is also curved forward and not just tilted forward, giving it a smooter more round look, i still haven't decided on the grill either, lots of ideas tho, i've never been one to think inside the box on any of my models. i'm still trying to figure out the camera I bought, so, please bare with me... Thanks for taking time to look at my truck.... Rob. . and thanks to MikeMc,, I think I'll be moving the front fender openings and tire's/suspension forward, mite seem alot to do for such a project, but the final look of the project that will benefit from it all. thanks again. Rob.

very nice job.

Hello from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, in the center of the great lakes! And i'd love information on web sites that you all buy from and trust so i can do the same. thanks Robert

so since i'm new here, how do i go about ordering tires and matching rims, not just these but other ones as well. Rob

I've never worked on a resin kit of any form but have always wanted to, but after doing so much reading and seeing how they are quality wise, i think that for now with my caliber of building models, and the fact that i usually buy a few of the identicle models because i chop/stretch/widen/shrink/change them so much, that i'm going to stick with the good old plastic ones off the shelf, but i have been keeping my eyes open for a special one that may catch my eye, especially a Pantera Detomaso. thanks Rob
