Smart-Resins

Thanks for the kind words.jarheadndn I guess I should change that hey. We had lived there for 2 years, but we just moved to Upstate NY a month ago. I miss it already. I certainly loved it there! We fostered a blue heeler from Cookville!Jody

Thanks guys for the kind words. I am working hard right now at finisjing the plastic work on the body so I can through the spot putty to the frame and the body.Hopefully by tonight both will be in the first coat of primer?! Jody

Alright this started life by a cab I got in a trade. Later I got a Thames chassis. I decided to mate them for life. I then found a extra 29 truck bed so the project bega. I z'd the frame and dropped it. I origianlly started out with a TRAK style in mind, then I found these really cool rear tires and threw the rims in them.Then I got a grave Digger mill in and it just looked too bad, so that is what I am staying with. Here is some mock ups of the cab on the chassis and of the chassis now.Ready for some spot putty, then primer. The doors will be suicide style and the bed will hinge up. The interior will be aluminum and tuck n roll. I will be spraying the body with a metallic smoke grey and adding some killer flames. The chassis I am debating chrome, bright red or fiery orange? The interior I am debating classic white or fiery orange, or both(along with the aluminum floor. Thanks.Jody

Thank you for the compliments. The motor is out of a Grave Digger kit.Very boss motor! Set up simular to a RE/AF. Very many mods to the chassis! kjadud0667 very cool car there! I like them like that a ton!! Esp. trucksters!!! Jody

Here is my current truckster project. It will be a rat though not old school, but mean n nasty.

Fordsixty, that looks like the one.Jones_clayton, not at the moment, but maybe I can get my dad to get one next weekend? Thanks.Jody

My grandfather has a old Beetle bug that was custom made into a panel by using the back half of a old english car. The problem is we do not know what car! He has a broken tail light lens and needs to identify what it came from. The numbers on the lens has 56 so we assume what ever it is, it was a 1956 model. I thought maybe a anglia or something, but can not get any info.Any help would be appreciated!!

Still looking forward to the short blazer!! I want one bad!Jody

Very nice looking truck.I love them that way!!Jody

To your group.HEHEHE

I am liking where this one is going. How is the short blazer going? I need to stop back by the site again if I can find the darn link.After being mostly off line for the last month putting a couple trannys in my van, then moving back to NY and then my wifes grandfather passing.Maybe now I can slow down a bit??Jody

I am old enough to have forgotten, yet too young be able to remember.LOL. Jody

A friend of mine sent me the link 2 days ago. I was blown away by its detail! Just awesome!Jody

Those kits should be by alumilite.They are a good place to start. A lot of poeple use them. That is where I started.If ya give me your email addy, I have a real good tutorial that someone shared with me that I can pass along to you. Planning and practice is the two big things! It may cost you a bit to get going and fluent with it, but I think its worth it.Jody

When I signed up for photo bucket, it was unlimited.I have literally thousands of pics.Jody

Amd here I had thought of cloth screen.Nice idea there.preferably they were not used.LOL. I am sure there are other things that can be used as well.Jody

Bored,so I clicked in here. Glad I did. Your hamock gave me a idea.I know what I could use, but what did you make yours out of? Jody

Another nice little diorama!

Thanks very much for that list! I will be not far from Corning, so these are all a big drive for me Glen Modeling I used to be a member of when I was in school! I will have to save the list and see what happens. Really wish there was one closer to where I was living, or a couple of poeple from that are5a2 ho would like to start up a new one. I wouldnt mind heading that up either. Thanks for the info!! Jody

Thanks for digging that one up. I saved it all in my puter for future reference! Nice article there for the basics. I know we have had a few poeple ask the same questions over and over. Here it is to answere them! jody

Heck with that. For gas reasons, I want a VW powered trike. Well a trike at the least!!

Another thing you can do is spray down a wet coat and dust on some fine grit sand.When dry, brush the access off then paint. A black base is good to start with. then after adding a charcoal color or color of choice, use you hobby nife and make some distressed lines where the asphalt has cracked.I like that old what is it, desert road diorama! Very cool!!

Anyone????

Is there any updates or new info on this club?? Jody

Another thing you can try is stripped telephone wire. I believe detail master also sells interior cloth. I have thought the leather and stuff was too thick of a appearance without having to scrape the back down. A pain in the rear end I think. If you want to add a leather texture, there is one kind of paint in the stores that comes in brown and black that when sprayed, looks like leather. You can also use a textured paint, then spray your color over top of that.
