ARTEMIS1759

Sweet car man.

Just for the record this would be a 1947.5-1950 Chevy as in 1951 they put in vent windows and push button door handles. This one has the flipper style handles.

Thems some monsters there. Those T-66s or T-88s? Lookin good though.

Before I saw the race pic I was gonna say looks like Fast and Furious Car. I ove the Mopars they got. Lucky enough they have smartened up and get junk cars (rusted out peices of ######)when they need to wreck them. Still does not justify but at least they are pretty much ######. They said it is hard to find the 68-70s since so many have been totaled in TV and the movies.

Maybe when I get back into modeling when I get home. Looked for a kit though and can't find one. Wonder if there is a resin body out there?

Why not go for the Ferrari Quad Turbo W12 motor? Not a bad start. I personally hate all supercars except the Koenzig because of the power and handling and it looks remotely cool. But an Aston Martin would be my pic for style. I can't stand the looks of the Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.

Nice color. I want to build one in sunburst orange. I think you over-petinaed the ford a little though. It does look good. Got pics of that one? It looks sweet.

Much better pic.

Just for curiosity sake. Haven't delt with a COE in years. Should the end of the cylinder not go between the two tabs? Therefore making it stronger? Just wondering. Awesome build though.

Sorry, I had planned on posting some close ups. Must have got lost in the batch. Here are a few:

So is the GTO next. I guess I neverknew the GTO was not a judge. NOT a Judge, but a standard GTO 455, painted Orbit Orange, with the "Rally II" stripes and spoiler optioned in (these items were standard on the Judge, optional on regular GTOs). Note that there are no "The Judge" emblems behind the front wheels.

58 and 59 Chevy 4 door sedans and hardtops and maybe a 58 wagon would be sweet. 42 Chevy 4 door sedan.

Good ol'country ass whuppin'. Thats all most bullies need. And I say it is fair since they ganged up on you to fix a few problems with a Louisville slugger even if they are alone. Swing away mate. Had this kid in high school who always hacked on me and then one day he wanted to fight and whupped his ass. No more problems for anybody after that.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you gus I got this Kodak C340 Easy share and it does everything from closeups to scenery to video and works awesome. Not sure how old it is so it may be obsolete but I got it from a guy on deployment here and it takes awesome closeups. a FEW EXAMPLES:

Awesome rig. Nice colors. So what you doing for a heavy haul trailer? You should do an under chassis pic. I am curious how you guys set up the tag.

You know, I checked out that sight yesterday and after looking at all the model truck, trailer, farm equipment and construction equipment kit pics, I realized how few of the trucks my dad originally had that he has now. He had at least one if not 2 or 3 of everyone of the kits made before 1985. Until someone took his beer trucks, mail trucks and cattle haulers when they were in storage plus losing all but 75 of them to a windstorm when they were in a storage shed. Sucks.

Know what I would do with this unless you got plans? I would build it into a race car hauler or drag truck like some of those 70's model kits.

Well, I found the other kit I plan to use in this build. I have started it by using this as the base truck:

(Hey guys. Not sure if any of you are still looking for kits. This guy has older kits to include a 61 Ranchero and not bad priced plus odd ball resin kits.) Sorry about that guys. Here is the link: http://www.modelroundup.com/amt20002.html

Ok. I can't believe it. But there aare no pics online of this tanker. My dad has a couple but his house right now is about 6000 miles to the east lol. I am 100% positive that this is a Gulf oil fuel tanker.

Wow, I drew a car like this on a Sunday when we were finished with everything in basic training. Same paint and wheels and same car. Lol.

Wow that is the first factory Xperimental race car that I have seen that does not say "Do not lean against the fenders" because they were made out of Aluminum.

Since you shaved the handles and filler are you going to do some kick n' pull selenoid buttons under the rockers? Say like the merc on Gone in 60 Seconds. Not sure if you are hinging the doors and trunk but if you are I would move the gas filler to the left rear (driver's) corner on the inside of the trunk. That is where they put most of them. I love customs so bombs just fell in place for me. I love Artillery wheels though with wide whites versus wires. Just a historical side note the original reason, use and material for hydraulics were on bombs. they used actuators from airplane struts because then they could raise and lower the car when the cops were around as there were strict laws in California reguarding height.
