Nice job on the paint ! I like them both . . . but I've never been a fan of those pipes .

I've been thinking about buying this kit for a long time and these are the first pics I've seen of one built OOB . You did a great job , and convinced me to buy one . Thanks .

That's pretty neat . Is it a Morris ? What scale is it ?

Looks great ! Did some body sneak in and clean the windshields ? They look pretty clean !

This going to be a wild Deora ! Can't wait to see more .

Hi Rudimen . My brother-in-law is from Zephyrhills , Fla . Back in the early 70's I'd drive up there from Tampa . We spent many evenings hanging out at Buzzie's shop . Good memories . Great looking modified !! It needs another 0 on the door .

Nice Caddy ! '59s just look cool .

Hi Lane , It looks like you are installing a Mustang engine into your '32 . I've never done it but it should be no problem . I would forget the stock air filter and make something that is mounted to the Throttle Body . Why don't you ask some questions about what you are doing . Everyone here is more than willing to help . Good luck . It will look great when you are done ! BOB.

Take some photos of the stuff and post it in the For Trade section . Be sure to give some idea of what YOU are looking for . You'd be surprised the repies you will get ! This is much easier than trying to sell it .

Here's a few photos of the runs at Bonneville . The last color photo is the Daytona at speed ! BOB. And the restored car at WPC Museum .

Wow ! It turned out great ! For a Box Stock build the detailing is incredible .

Beautiful Hemi Dart ! Your detailing is incredible . The Torq Thrust wheels are a nice touch.

You're correct . On Nov . 24 , 1970 Isaac set a 1 lap record of 201.104 at Talladega with this car . A few months later at Bonneville , Isaac drove this car to 28 Land Speed Records , including 4 World Records . After Bonneville it sat behind Harry Hydes shop and was never run again ! It sat there for 5 years until it was moved to the museum at Talladega . My build represents the way it was painted for the Bonneville trials . The names on the stripe are the crew members that built the car . Harry Hyde put the lightning bolt on the wing . BOB. Isaac was the 2nd driver to exceed 200 mph in a stock car on a closed course . Buddy Baker was the 1st .

Thanks guys . That was built more than 25 years ago . My hands aren't that steady anymore and my eyesight gets worse all the time . I doubt I could do that kind of work today . I still look at it occasionally and think about spraying a nice clear on it , but then I'm afraid of ruining it ! Thanks again . BOB.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I agree , some pretty nice Deoreas here . I guess I'll dig mine out of the back of the cabinet and put it in front where I can see it . That way I might come up with some ideas .

Looks " Right " to me ! Very cool !

Oh yeah . that's sweet looking ! You better post more pics ! !

I followed your WIP and am glad to see it " Under Glass " . It sure turned out pretty ! Very cool build .

Great color combination . That Wet Look Clear is nice stuff .

Very nice , clean Willys . I love the color !

The grille and headlights look good . And I vote for keeping the visor . . . it looks cool !

Welcome to the forum Rob . Did anybody tell you that some kid stole your dune buggy ? Looks about 4 feet tall ! Seriously , I like what you've done with the suspension . Can you get any closer pictures ?

I got one of these a few months ago as a glue bomb . With a little detailing the engine and Art Morrison suspension could look great ! But that body is just plain UGLY ! I played around on the computer trying different ideas and came up with a couple body mods that look pretty good . They include sectioning the body at a slight angle to give the illusion of a lowered front without messing with the suspension . I'll post the drawings if you are interested . I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with as it has a lot of potential .

I like what you're doing here . Pretty sharp ! I was at my LHS today and they had two sets of those rims . One chrome and one gold . Now that I see them on a build I might go back and grab them .
