old ford shop truck,

That thing is super neat! Love the weathering, wheels, everything. What color did you use to paint the spokes of the wheels? -
That's gonna be neat!

Gorgeous little coupe Mike. The extra effort to fix the errors that Revell didn't made all the difference. Excellent job sir!

1969 Camaro Pro Mod.... updates 11/12/13
665@213 replied to tyrone's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Tyrone, that thing is killer!! The Yenko stripes definitely set it off. I was kinda thinkin the same as Kerry on the front wheels, but with flat gray or magnesium spokes, like an original Torque Thrust wheel. -

Pro Touring El Camino

That wouldnt have been my 1st choice to do a pro-tourer out of, but holy BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH that thing is killer!!! Like everybody said, there's no part that doesnt look out of place. great great piece. -
And here's pics of the exact same car getting paint & bodywork completed at a shop here in Virginia. This was taken before Kenny bought the car from the builder , also from Pennsylvania. Aslo note that the car was originally a twin turbo with a 632.

You mean this car that's in his avatar that really belongs to Kenny Doak of K & K Advanced Door Car Technology??? Yea I have pics of Kenny's car. It has a 526 with a screw on it. Its for sale in Pennsylvania.

I love the photoetched emblems! How can I get a set?
-
Great job on that old Chevy!!
-
I love this Falcon!! Im working on 1 myself right now, doing a pro-touring look. I would love to get my hands on 1 of those hoods & some of those emblems. Do you offer the fender badges in SOHC or just a 427 version? Again, great falcon.
-
That was actually my first thought on this car. I have a set of the GMP chrome Torque Thrust wheels mounted on Goodyear tires, but when i was mocking up the suspension, i used wheels similar to what is on it now. Plus at the time, I was drooling over a '61 Starliner that Bobby Alloway had done for George Poteet. Here's that Starliner: I had no choice but to do my Galaxie this way!!
-
I actually didn't paint this Galaxie myself. A friend of mine Jimmy Riddle painted it for me. I knew that if i painted it black, i would screw it up pretty good. lol
-
I know what you mean. lol If you look down the side of the car, the body has a curved shape too, kinda like how a top fuel dragster arches downtrack? You cant see it looking right at the side of the car. A black 63 & 1/2 Galaxie with red interior is my dream car. I'd love to have a real one, but this will hold me for now.

Custom emblem decals on the fenders, trunk & hood, along with personalized tags. Front wheels are rears from a 1:24th scale Maisto Pro Rod, & rears are fronts from a 1:18th scale Maisto Pro Rod. Worked out great!! The car still rolls just like it did originally. The hood & engine were robbed from a Sunstar 63 Texas Thunder Drag Car. All comments welcome!! In these pics, you can see what I started with, and the finished product.

Here's a few pics of my 1:18th scale 63 1/2 Galaxie I finished a few months back. Started as a boxstock red on red 406 tri-power car. Now its a R-code 427 4 speed. New paint, wheels, & stance.

Thanks for the kind words everybody. Its not done by far. The truck only has some self-etching primer on it right now. i have the paint for it already. It's 2 factory Ford colors. The bottom will be 1961 Desert Gold. Kinda reminds me of Chevy's Butternut Yellow, only a little paler. & the top above the trim will be 2007 Ford Performance White, a very bright white. Not exactly sure how to do the floor inside, flocked or aluminum. Maybe a mixture of both, flocked floors & aluminum trans tunnel & inner firewall. Hewre's a pic of Don Hardy's 61 Ranch Wagon in Desert Gold: I think it'll look pretty neat in those colors. Thanks!! The truck is 1:18th scale.
-
Thanks for the compliments. The engine is from a 1:18th scale top fuel hydro. the inner fenders, radiator support & bottom of the firewall are all scratchbuilt with styrene. Scratchbuilt bed floor & wheeltubs, battery box, & battery charging posts.

Hello Folks. This is my F100 Ive been working on for about 3 years now. It started as an out of the box Sunstar 65 F100. Now this is what I have ......... All comments welcome!!

The number of posts that I have made in a year is not important to this topic. I am close friends with a staff member of RPM Magazine, a logo in which you have duplicated. I hope that you have recieved permission from these companies that you have logos of. I have no reason to question your ethics, however, attornies for said companies may. I am just giving a friendly piece of advice. With the business world the way it is these days, I wouldnt be surprised that a lawsuit could come of this. I've seen things much much smaller & less important get blown way out of porportion. I think the decals look great, and applaud you for creating them. I would just be cautious about presenting them on a public forum. I meant no harm in posting what I posted.
-
I sure hope youre not trying to sell those. if you are i sure hope you have permission to use those logos.

Nice wheels sir! I was wandering if you'd be interested in doing a one off set of wheels for a 1:18th scale diecast? Ive got a set of measurements & no one really makes any good wheels for those cars.
