  1. Thanks Scott I was figuring it had been done and figured a stiffer rear spring and the V8 it might be OK I figure with the Camper over all 4 wheels it might even be bettr than a conventional pickup
  2. Thanks guys The more I think about it the more I like the Camper on it lol I do wish there was a Ford version available too
  3. Just finished up this Box stock Build of the Dodge A100 Aside from the doors this truck went together fairly easy.. Last pic with the camper looks right just dunno if its possible lol
  4. This Datsun was a Simple freshen up. Bought it as a built up tore it down freshened it up and swapped on a Stake Bed
  5. Finished up this 65 Mustang. It's built box stock and as close to factory as I could out of the box except for the paint. Don't remember what the red is since it's been painted over a year.
  6. Thanks Guys Lee is right its the Revell kit Scalper yours looks pretty good too Mines just Testors red heres the only pics I really have of the shop Based it somewhat after this shop
  7. Built this 57 pretty much Stock. It was gonna be black but decided that wasn't lookin right and went red. Kit went together real easy only issues I had were the instructions not having the right colors and stock pics being hard to find
  8. no issue here with photobucket Matter of a Fact I just not 5 minutes ago took pics and uploaded them to PB from my phone and then got here on my puter and posted them to this board
  9. Heres My 29 RPU I thought I had posted this truck but a little search Shows I never took finished pics. That's why you my see some dust in these cause it's been done a while. I started with an old derelict Blue Beetle Kit. Knocked it apart Did some channeling and put it back together with wheels from the Revell Merc. I think the Exhaust Manifolds are also from that Merc too.
  10. this 62 Bel Air was a simple repaint and rebuild. This car was badly damaged by engine enamel. The paint and glass was ruined. Cleaned it up resprayed it back to its original Honduras Maroon. Replaced the glass and got it back together before after
  11. Thanks guys Chris its a basic old style Amt chassis
  12. Here’s a quick build I threw together. It’s the AMT 69 Torino Cobra . Sprayed it in Honduras Maroon … I know a GM color but I think it looks good. Built it pretty much box stock with the exception of the wheels and breather
  13. This is Diecast 04 E series van. Was a simple Pull down and respray. except it took over a year lol. Van was sprayed last year sometime but I was never too happy with it since it had a few bad spots. Well looking at it yesterday I decided it looked pretty good for a work van. I pulled out a Sharpie and got at it. Used as Sharpie so I don't have too much in it if I ever decide to respray it.
  14. This ones been done a while but I guess I never took any pics of it. Built box Stock into your basic everyday....... Plain white van
  15. I wouldn't callthat a rat They clearly took time and skill to do. And they didn't make it look like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH
  16. Here She is all ready to rile up the Masses and cause Hysteria among the Concours crowd. Got her channeled the height of the frame then I lowered her about 2 scale inches. Most of the car is out of its kit box just Modified to my liking. The only parts added from the Rod Box are the 4 side drafts, the steering wheel and the tail lights. The Rear Windshield is chopped about 2 inches to put it more in porportion with the fronts rake. The 4 side drafts come about just for the look. It was supercharged but I decided to do away with that for the look of the carbs. I decided to keep the kit exhaust because it looked "hot rod " enough. The front spreader bar is modified fro the kit spreader and retains the center driving light the original had. Ok time for me to shut my face and show ya the rod. These pics are indoor I'll get her outside and do a few outside shots soon.
  17. Wow Forgot all about this post Looks like I even missed a few posts back when it was current. The Wheels were made with a set of rims and swampers I bought I cut the centers out narrowed the outer rim fit the center back in and put a new center cap on Truck still sits on the shelf but has a load on it now Daniel to answer your question you should find the AMT kit It represents the body you need. If you do choose to use this truck it builds up fairly easy but you will need to solve the wheel problem it has. The kit comes with 5 lug wheels
  18. Little beginning Progress. Got the frame together and the engine block in so I can start setting the tub. Cut the Lower seats cushions out and set them aside they'll go back in later. Heres where I Stand on it now
  19. Got ahold of the Monogram 34 Duesenberg today this'll be one of the few builds I keep track of so here goes. Her are the required box shot and a few parts shots Here's the body and roof. Original builder put a decent color on em May leave it alone .Wont be needing these.......... bwaaaaaaa haaa haaaa !!!!! If ya haven't figured out where this is going yet .... I'm gonna Rod the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH outta this thing lol Channel Maybe a light chop lower the suspension !!! It's ON!!!!!!
  20. Here is my 30 Phaeton. Only non kit parts in this one art the front seats and wheels and tires. I channeled the body down over the frame tossed the fenders and chopped the top approximately 2 inches then put it all back together again. Top was left removable but I think it looks better with the top on
  21. Here’s the finished pics of my 32 Five Window . It has the flathead and wheels from the sedan kit. It also has the suspension from the monogram 32 roadster Gave it a good channel job. Gave it a the entire exterior of the car a good coating of Testors one coat. Was a pretty simple build overall First pic is the look I was going for
  22. You'd need more than just a front and rear. The whole body is different. The Motor Max one in the picture is an 07 And looks pretty good I think I believe it has the wrong front bumper but other than that its ok. Even looks good alongside my 97
  23. oh forgot to post All the beauty of no spoiler. Behold the Unspoiled looks!!
