  1. Google Ed Roth & Rat Fink... !!!
  2. Thanks for the kind words John!
  3. REALLY BIG HELMET!!! I added a length of half round plastic strip around the opening and sprayed on primer/filler. I did some test fitting and decided that the Helmet & Fink Head were too large. I laid 2 strips of 1/4" masking tape on the helmet, one from front to back, the other from side to side. I traced the 2 lines, removed the tape and cut the 2 pieces out of the helmet. Then I glued the 4 sections back together. This should be the perfect size...
  4. WILD INTERIOR DAVID!!!
  5. LOOKS GREAT DR.! Perfect Paintwork....
  6. Thanks for the kind comments and suggestion Jason! I have been thinking about that roof line. I am concerned about clashing with the vertical sides of the rear window. Haven't quite figured it out yet...
  7. Nice Details!
  8. Thanks Jim, I think I will probably fill in at least part of the fender bottoms...
  9. Thanks for the kind words Chris!
  10. WHERE IS HIS HELMET? My wife Dolores gave me this container, it held nylon stockings. The plastic toy containers in gumball machines would probably work too. I cut an opening just about wide enough for the Finks Head...
  11. MONSTER BODYWORK: I reduced the width of the smile by adding a little putty on each side of the mouth.
  12. MORE FINK BODYWORK: I found a couple of plastic half circles for eyes, I think they were from a crafts store. Added a little more putty...
  13. BACK ON THE CUTTING BOARD!!! I cut the rear edge of the fenders up on about a 30 degree angle... Side View:
  14. Thanks! I was surprised when it worked...
  15. Nice Start!!! All the Right Stuff!
  16. Taking a Break....
  17. GREAT PROGRESS DON! I like it!!!
  18. MONSTER BODYWORK: I only need the head... Cut off all of the extra plastic above & below the face. Looking for some eyes now...
  19. MONSTER FINK BODYWORK: Didn't like his smile much, either... I turned him upside down and added more putty to his face...
  20. MONSTER FINK BODYWORK: Started the Monster Driver with the Fink from the "Robin Hood Fink" kit. Didn't like his eyes...
  21. WE NEED BIGGER SLICKS!!! I added a 3/16" piece of strip plastic to the center of each Roarin' Rail Slick. Then smoothed them out with a foam file board. A little putty and some more sanding and they will be ready for paint!
  22. Thanks for the kind words Don!
  23. Great Photos Len! Thanks for sharing.
  24. Thank you Dr.! Here is one, and there are more in the Contest Section!
