Austin T

Very cool Ira,as always you never cease to amaze me with the things you think of.Great job, and great build.I hope someday my body work will be a smooth as it is on this model.

Will this be out in time to slide under the tree?

Well I will honestly say that the idea of this never crossed my mind,I don't know whats in your coffee but I think I want some! Man that is cool.

You could make a prison bus out of it.

Pretty cool,anymore updates?

Did yo use an exhaust pipe as the start for your mirrors?It looks very cool.

That looks like a pretty nice deal there.

I'm excited about this one,gonna be pretty cool.

Amazing looking foil work!

I saw that one and the others there,they were REALLY nice ans shinny.I had the Hudson Hornet police car,didn't get anything with it but enjoyed the show.

Amazing builds,I remeber them very much from the IPMS show,I'm actually in the club that hosts it. I have been trying to get the guys who run the club to have more specific catagorys than automotive,so that way it evens the playing field a little better.This was by far my favorite build there,the amount of work that went into it is jaw droping.

That drag bike was truely amazing,I think he said something about building two more of them.

Very cool,I like your builds they stand out.Do you have a page with pictures of all of your rebuilds?

Well thought I'd join in with a pic I got at the ACME show this past weekend with someone you guys might know... It was really cool to meet Dr C,great guy

Thats cool Danny,which model did your son enter?I probely saw it there.

I enjoyed the show,lots of cool models and people there. Was pretty cool to meet Cr C,some of the member on here and chopper.All of them are really great guys that do great work.I will hopefully be back next year.Now who won what?I had to leave early due to the drive home and missed awards.

I can see some differances in my resin body and the one you posted. the hood bludes are a big bigger on mine, yours has the leather roof on it,the copper peiceon the side that says barris kustoms is entirely different with mine,and the front grille on mine is very incorrect.But then again those cold have been changed by the builder of the model you posted or the guy that had the one I had before me.

Let me try again with the Pic's.

Well I consider it my find of the day,I snagged this for 16 bucks.All I know is that it's based off of George Barris's "Kopper Kart" one of my favorite kustoms by him.The vendor said he thought it was made by R&R Vacuumform and that was all he knew.I have heard rumors about a resin company in the 80's that made the "Kopper Kart" but was sued by Barris.All I neeed to know is what do I have. P.S. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of little details are off.

Well thats what I was afraid of,thanks for the truth.

True Craftmanship right there.

Pretty cool,Very interesting inspiration.

Just got back from the show,Dr C was a great guy to meet and had some really nice builds out there.This was a great show and I would recomend it to anyone. Did anyone get Pic's of the show, we were half-an hour from the house this morning and remebered the camera was at home.

Is that paint job from Mattel?The Playboy bunny on a hotwheel?

I saw where someone used a shampoo bottle as the base to the trailer to get the oval shape that the real one had.
