Yes I have stayed away from reliable resins for years because of all the copying of other products he does. I could really go off here and list a bunch he has copied but I'm tired of hearing and reading this. I must say that I am really surprised at Darin!. Also, good stuff is gone and reliable comes at him like he did. No,No, Jarius you need to ban that guy. Keep whacking plastic and I'll just keep doing my own conversions. Thanks guys for letting me know who you really are!

A few new cars for NNL East (1st posting)
ratrodder replied to Peter Lombardo's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Peter, that 300 with that top grafted on, the Bentley grille and the headlights is on of the sharpest 300's I've seen yet. Chrysler should take note. I also like that VW. Great builds and thanks for the tips on the flames.Awsome builds! -
Man, I love that Lasalle grill on that 32. Now that is style and that conversion has never entered my mind. Thanks for the idea and I love the car. ratrodder doug

Nice work! This is a very nice kit to build. There are so many ways you can actually build this truck,and I like your style. ........ratrodder doug

payhauler 350
ratrodder replied to halfpint33's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Maybe a stupid question. Is that an international engine or what brand? -
Just a cool looking coupe ,Matt your rubbin
ratrodder replied to B.Beachum's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Is that the wheels from the37 ford panel, widened in the rear or what are they. I like your build. Looking great. What are your finishing plans? ratrodder doug -
Looking good. I hope to try weathering one day.

56 Ford C-Model W.I.P
ratrodder replied to Twist67's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Yeah, I think the hood needs reshaping a little in the front but man, a great start on a hard project. I started a 41 chevy coe about a year ago and I still can't come up with a hood that looks right. Back in the box till I can think of something else to make it out of. -
I definitely think te 27 body is right on instead of the bantam body. Your model, just my 2cents. I love that engine. The chassis is fantastic, the brake lines and all. Did you make that header? Great craftsmanship!
-
Man, I'm coming to Germany! You guys are awsome builders. I love the paint. If I was going to change anything it would be to lower the bed top a little but don't get me wrong, I love that truck and the chop job is just right. Beautiful work. :roll:
-
I like it very much. You guys really know how to build a street rod model. I like that rear-end treatment also, the tail-lights and license plate frenching and all including the widened fenders.

swap meet and show at Cookeville Tenn.
ratrodder replied to ratrodder's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks man but I talked to Dave Bowers yesterday and I'm too late for a table. I kinda thought so but my work won't let me make reservations too far in advance. Thanks, we will try again next time. -
Great deal at Salisbury model swap meet
ratrodder replied to rudimen's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yep, Salisbury was a good kill. Prices, I thought were great and the amount of models was unbelievable. First biggie of the year in the Carolina area. ................ -
You know? I have all those articles on Mark building the dream truck photocopied if you need a set. Just e-mail me. There are a lot of pages though. Mark never left anything out. Super super build-up of a famous Rod and Custom in our history. While we are on the 50 chevy truck; What year did they not have the peak in the top at the windshield? I hate that look. dgharrell1@yahoo.com ratrodder doug

Too much on the bench ANOTHER 32,A 29 AND A VETTE!
ratrodder replied to Tom Kren's topic in WIP: Model Cars
:oops: I'm sorry, I guess I had a senior moment there. I thought they were both the same car so you don't have to answer that question about how they sit on the chassis. I like the 29 sittin the way it is. -

ratrodder replied to Tom Kren's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Ah, a new painter. As I said on the other board, Sharp looking 29! Are you going to channel it like one pic shows or ride on top of the deuce chassis? Beautiful either way. ratrodder doug -
This has to be one of the sharpest 32's I've ever seen built out of that 3-window kit. My hats off to you brother. There's not one part I don't like. Nice job duplicating the one in the pic also. Did you know the guy that built the real one? I know he would be proud. Superb build! ratrodder

Is this true..Ricky Couch very ill??
ratrodder replied to Tom Kren's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
To all who have posted, WELL SAID! A true legend in the modeling world. He will be missed greatly ! He has been a friend and modeling buddy to me and all of us in the Carolinas for 20 + years. We will be thinking and praying for Karen and the whole family. God Speed! doug -
Is this true..Ricky Couch very ill??
ratrodder replied to Tom Kren's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes, regretfully speaking, this is true. Kennys brother, 34, passed away in his sleep leaving a wife and 4 children behind. Also, K-Dog passed the info about Ricky on to me and he is in a very grave condition. Myself and K-dog have been friends and live in same area and have been modeling together for years and years. We have both known Ricky for over 20 years. He is a real modeling friend. We all go to the same model shows in our area. Keep praying for a miracle! ratrodder -
lowering my snap 359
ratrodder replied to pete359driver's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Try putting a lip on the edge of the front fender. Also you can lower the suspension a little but the lip around the fender will really change the appearance. ratrodder
