  1. This kit was originally the rat pack AWD but I modified it to stock and replaced the engine with a stock factory engine which was a 283 ci.
  2. Here I have built another diorama project its a 1970 Pontiac Firebird with a blown engine with connecting rod out the side of block and on the hoist being pulled out of the car. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=050-1.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=051-1.jpg

  5. Hey guys here is some of my rat rods.I had to do some dusting here older builds.
  6. Hi Tim thanks for some of the website info a great help.
  7. Hello I have a question for you where do you get your parts for you trucks? Someone from here sentme this site http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/kitsparts.html I curious to what you think of there kits? Also I was wondering if you knew of a site that sold light duty truck cabs something like C60 chevy truck for example? Oh by the way I'm a huge fan of your work.
  8. Here I built a 0pel blitz medium 3 ton which was a fire truck kit.I replaced the tank with a flat deck and deck sides.I also made the hood open as the original cab the hood was solid with the cab one piece I mean.I also added to the hood and fenders so the truck looks like it has a set back axle.Some of these trucks had set back axle according to my research.I also made this truck a 4x4 and some trucks were 4wd too.I added a bush bumperandmadethe truck look rusty .Here are some pictures. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=006-2.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=010-3.jpg Engine bay http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=009-2.jpg
  9. Hey guys I figured I'd put up one of my latest builds can't stay away from building too long.I build a 1978 Chevy pickup crew cab 1 ton daully 4x4.I used almost 3 kits for parts for this build.I also added a big block 427 from a corvette kit.I kinda made look like a fishing and camping truck.The truck still needs some more work but its coming long.Still working on finding a boat too to complete the build as well I have camping trailer to for this unit which I'll be posting soon too. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=001.jpg Front view http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=002.jpg Engine http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003.jpg
  10. If been wanting to build a replica of my 1975 Camaro.I spent lots of time on restoring this car and many long nights.There was a few add on to the 1:1 scale car I did I added a hood from a 1980 Z28 camaro put in all new interior.The body was rough at the start but that got rebuilt to prefect.The drive tran is 383 ci with over 425 hp and borg warner 4 speed and 4 .11 gears .Just a super fun car.So the replica model is pretty cloose to the original car .So you guys be the judge and tell me what you think. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=001-3.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003-10.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=006-5.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=007.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=008-2.jpg
  11. I guess I should put my face on here too http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003-9.jpg
  12. I don't why some of you put up a stink about some truck kits.All truck kits have some little issue but its only plastic and it all can be modified.Someday there isn't going to be any of the classic trucks we all love to build.So the guys that complain should shut up and suck it up.Thats my 2 cents.
  13. Hi guys here my 1937 ford sedan.Its a monogram kit all I did was added some stock wheels gives it a hot rod look. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003-8.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=004-2.jpg
  14. Hi Mike thanks for the info yeah this was my first older truck mod.I mostly build muscle cars and semi trucks.I do plan on building another f800 tow truck in the future and a 55 chevy 3 ton.
  15. Well I have custom built a 1955 Ford F800 it turned out pretty good.It was alot of work since I used 2 kits to build this on.I also used a dodge L700 frame and stretched it.I used most the 55 ford kit to build it.Well everyone have a look. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=001-5.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=001-6.jpg Some more pics http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=002-4.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003-5.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=002-5.jpg The finished truck http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003-6.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=001-7.jpg
  16. Hi there you still looking for a K123 I have a few coming in this week message me if interested.
  17. Hello there what I used for the hubs was a piece of 1/8 inch round styrene rod.I had to custom make all hubs its pretty easy.It was a pretty good model.I have a few other 1/25 scale semi trucks I'm going to build as day cabs some day.
  18. Hey there guys I have a nice picture of my Mack R day cab build.It was a sleeper model from a Mack r conventional 1/32 scale kit.I looks pretty cool.I added my own touch to the truck. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=001-3.jpg
  19. I love the 1968 El Camino SS 396.What about the rest of you guys?
  20. Hey there you should also look at lindberg too.
  21. Hi ad2191a thanks for the picture it looks correct I believe.
  22. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what engine would of came in a 1955 Ford F 800 and was it a valve cover engine or flat head?
  23. Hi the best way I think to paint raised lettering is to put a thin coat of paint on a flat surface like glass or cardboard and place the tire on the paint .Then press lightly on the tire.It takes a bit of practise but it works great.I use acrylic white paint and then paint a coat of future over the letters on tire.Hope that helps.
  24. Resin 1 Ton daully rims for GM,FORD,DODGE or other makes of vehicles.The rims fit 1/24,1/25 scale model tires.I'm selling them for 10 bucks or trade for something of interest. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003-3.jpg
  25. 1964 Dodge 330 factory stock .I added a few details to look factory stock and some race options like exhaust cut outs .I added a exhaust system to the back to.Still doing some minor details.looks kinda neat I think. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=001-2.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=002-2.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view&current=003-2.jpg
