Word of warning guys, Dont get the Beatnik Bandit kit unless it's for parts or you have the patience of a saint becasue it is a %&$^ to put together lol

My camera is a brand newby and is actually quite good. I have very poor lighting in my hobby room so perhaps some shots outside when the weather clears up will be a good idea.

Oh bugger, i've done the reverse a few times, hotrod becomes rat rod lol

"Well up in the back woods down in the holler, ol'd boy's swingin' like a dog on a collar, keepin' that chain pulled tight, waitin' on Saturday night. Put on the smell good put on Skynyrd, head into town like a NASCAR winner, cruisin' back and forth to the Tasty Freeze, everywhere you look, all you see is......." HILLBILLY DELUXE

it could be done, only issue is the foose wheels.... you wouldn't be able to get them spot on obviously.

I'm in, "Monogram F250 Gluebomb" I'm thinking Hemi power, dumped on big rims maybe? hehehe!

And the finished product: More detailed pics soon.

A few more of mine. (more detailed pics soon)

I have plenty more images to post up, i just need to get to it i think.

Could be a Chevelle? or a Cuda?

Great progres mate, i'm off to a slow start, sourcing a 53 beetle, let alone a beetle is damned hard to do in my hick town lol

Cheers guys, i got onto scae dreams and yes there site is a bit strange to navigate..... we'll see how we go, I need large rims for my 53 beetle build, otherwise it's a trip to the lazercutter co make some custom ones, which actually is still on the cards. PVC sleeves, rubber sleeves and custom cut centres so i can set the offset wherever the $&%^ I want it I'm even thinking of getting into brasswork on this one to give me something to do at uni next year so i don't have to abondon the hobby entirely.

You know what's funny mate, i was in a toyworld store the other day and there on the shelf was a Kenworth truck and trailer with American flags coverring it. No offence intended to our US members, but the company that made this have got there minds off in space. Kenworth Trucks are manufactured in Australia using drivetrains imported from Dana and Eaton Fuller in the us. Therefore the Kenworth brand is Australian owned. My source: Kenworth Sales team leader - Brisbane truck show.

Sick lowrider Rom! I gotta get a 6-4 one day and build it up, hmm trip to a hobby store soon methinks. I think my LHS has one but I'll need to read up on hydro mods coz i want the arse dragging and the front sitting high

No worries mate, for me sometimes if i get sick of building hotrods, I'll build rat roda, and if i get sick of cars that are slammed to the ground.... I do a stupid thing and buy a "donks" kit lol/ Keeps the flow going anyways.

Hey guys. I've been thinking about trying to source Pegasus wheels within Australia for a while however haven't had any luck thus far. Has anyone found a dealer within Aus or is it just as easy / safe to order from the US? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Aaron.

hey guys, quick update. I have fully prepared the chassis and the engine and headers are installed in my '59. When my health picks up I'll get to work on the multi-piece body. I am ambitious about this but will approach it with caution.

Definately the icon mate

Sounds sweet man, I'm going to uni myself soon so i'm just gonna stock up on kits and resin pieces and go nuts when i get back down here.

Oh man it was a properly engineered Drift pig! I reckon he spent $700 on the intercooler and radiator piping just to get it both look and flow right. He was so into this car that he knew that if the pipe bends were off by just s tiny bit that it just wouldn't run right and the dyno proved that! I'll get pics soon.

Don't stress mate, it's good of you to build a nic truck for your dad. If I'm to be honest it usually takes me about four hours just to prep a chassis for paint and detailing! Kudos to you mate!

Cool, out of the 13 kits I've bought this year I have made around 11 or 12 complete cars using parts mostly. to date I have built: 32 Ford Coupe 32 Ford rat Rod (was the coupe) in collection 36 Ford Coupe 36 Ford Rat Rod (again, was the coupe above) in collection 32 Ford Rat Rod in collection 70 Mustang in collection 80 Bronco in collection 53 Chev Corvette in collection 49 Ford in collection there's probably more there but i can't remember lol! 49 Mercury Utility Custom 69 General Lee Ford F250 Super Duty Aussie Ute (now in bits in the parts box

Hey guys! I got my '59 today. Openned the kit and it looks as though all the pieces for the body are straight so it should go together well, just having issues finding pics of my mates car.

I just got the kit today and will be replicating my mates galaxie he had imported to australia. Getting a start on it today and will be converting to a hard top. He has a subwoofer in the trunk too so this will be fun to source!

Cool Jose, I look forward to it
