Very cool Mark. I like it a lot. It`s refreshing to see something different.

"Will run". Cool, but who`s gonnna crawl into that interior and start it? Cuz it aint gonna be me! Looks awesome Mike!

Thats a killer Eric! Super slick, super fast and super nasty.

Congrats to JF Launier from JF Kustoms for snagging the Ridler. His Riv was insane! I`ve been following that ultra secretive build as much as I could since he announced it a few years ago. He usually has his cars at a few local BC shows. I`m looking forward to seeing it in person this summer. Thanks for the photos Tim .

Thats really cool! Nice build.

I hope they wash the bar grips before they ride it.

I`d say you redeemed yourself Peter. That is wayyyyyy tooo cool!

I`d be scrapping the drivetrain and suspension straight into the back of my truck.

Done ...and done well!!!! That thing is totally bit...............chin

Cool build Boban. Your little guy looks pretty proud of it.

That is one slick looking machine. Nice work!

This is a great thread! Honestly one of the better threads I`ve been part of on any message board. It`s good to see that no matter where you go in this world, race, creed or color, when it comes to doing dumbass things were all universally stupid.

Finally got around to dealing with the sidepipes. I wasn`t too keen on using them because I just didnt like the way they looked and was thinking on what other type of exhaust to do and then it struck me. I didnt like the exhaust outlet, they were to small and just blah looking with no depth. So I fired up the Dremel and fixed them...now I can sleep at night

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the comments. I`m pretty happy with how it turned out. I`ll give some dullcoat on chrome a try one day on something but this ones gonna stay the way it is, the only way those wheels are coming apart is if it hits a wall at full speed. You gotta build one Carl & Larry. You`ll enjoy it. You get a lot of optional parts to play with.

Geez, tough crowd . I actually thought the same thing about dullcoating them but have never sprayed Dullcoat straight onto chrome before and didnt want to risk screwing up the chrome.

One more...

I love the old fastback Torinos. This is looking awesome Tony.

Very cool so far Bill. Its gonna be a killer.

I finished this quite a while ago and thought I`d finally take a few shots to share. I had a good time building it. I have a good time building all my rides but some models are just more fun to do and this was at the top for fun factor. Its a Manx, how could it not be!! Got a few mods to it as per usual. Re-shaped the fender edges all the way around to give the body a cleaner and subtley more aggressive shape. Chopped the windsheild 5mm. Freched tailights, Lowered the suspension, gave it big brakes and bigger rubber. The Centerline wheels are from the awfull awfull MPC Supercharger, the Webers from an old AMT 63 Vette, modified seats from a Lamborghini Reventon and the Exhaust is inspired by an old Matchbox Manx I had as a kid and scratchmade from some Aluminum tubing. As I`ve said before I build every model the way I would if I had the chance to build a real one and I would looooove to terrorize the town in something like this.

That is utterly amazing!!!!!!!

There really in nothing nastier looking than a black Charger. Looking forward to the end result.

Very cool Teddy! The small town I grew up in was full of nasty old trucks just like this, no mufflers included. I like the nod to your Dad as well.

Cool job! They look terrible, and I mean that in the most complimentary way. The rust on the small one looks real.

Reminds me of my most memorable bicycle crash. I was ten, it was close to 37 years ago now, and to this day I remember it as clear as if it happened this morning.....and I can still feel it if I think about it enough. My buddy and I were riding to a friends house on our bicycles...racing actually. I had a CCM Rebel ( like the red one in the picture. Coolest bike ever. I could jump that thing like Evel Knievel....bad landings included) I was standing up, pedaling my heart out for all it was worth when BAM!!!! The chain came off, both feet flew off the pedals into the dirt and I went straight down into the cross bar. My legs were shorter than the crossbar height so my boys took the full impact hitting the bar before the tiptoes of my feet hit the ground. I hit the bar, flew forward and smashed my chest into the handlebar mount losing my breath, then lost control of the bike and slammed into the dirt road with my junk still in full contact with the crossbar. The palms of my hands and parts of my arms were de-barked, I couldn`t breath, somehow my nose was bleeding, I was covered in dirt from head to toe and my two best friends felt like they had gone through WW3. My buddy stood there with his mouth hanging open and said nothing. Usually we would ask the usual,"You allright", and if all systems were good, start laughing at the guy, but he said nothing. Just stood there with eyes bigger than Bambis. I just layed there, curled up in a ball (pardon the pun, but you understand) holding them. I was in so much pain I couldn`t think but there was no way on earth I was going to cry. After what seemed like forever I gathered myself up, got up and inspected the bike, straightened the bars, put the chain back on and we carried on to my friends house. All my friend said about it that day was, "I think your chain came off". Years later we would still talk about that crash. I loved the 70`s.
