Any of you guys ever heard of this band? They've got some good stuff!

The last car above is a '50 Pontiac......

I chose that Merc because it was one of the few customs that I could find exactly what kind of car it was.... all of my search parameters are flooded with Pinterest results.....

It's a '67 Belvedere II, flat hood and trim down the side.......

I'll give you guys this one, it's a '47 Mercury...... sorry it wasn't that interesting of a choice. This one should be better!

Wow, Dan..... You went from the Dead Kennedys to the Goo Goo Dolls......!

Yes, that car is called "Truly Rare", and is based off of a '50 Buick....... Here's another one to guess at, what is it based on? (body work isn't that great, but it is still in primer......) I hope you guys will enjoy this game as much as I will hunting for guesses

So, I've come up with a new game! I was looking at inspiration pics today of custom cars and thought several times.... "I wonder what that started out as?" This new game will be seeing if you can tell what these custom cars started life as..... Here's the first one........ Can you tell what kind of car this is? No need for PM's, just post your guesses below...

Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9............. Last night I dreamed I ate a Huge marshmallow....... when I woke up my pillow was gone!

I resize my pics in MS Paint...... just open the pic, click on "resize", then put in the percentage of the original pic that you want the new pic to be. I usually make the new pic about 55% or 65% of the size that my camera works at.....

You guys wanna show some of your favorite album art that's auto related? Here's one of mine.....

Here's something funny for you cat people...... https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/ric/6881185958.html

I found that I like using the Krylon "cover maxx" acrylic clear....... However, my latest attempt to use it failed. I was doing some foiling and lifted the paint that was under the clear..... I'm wondering, if the acrylic doesn't get as hard as the Perfect Match clears that I'm used to? I get a little heavy handed when trimming foil, I think that I cut through the clear and caused it to lift... If it's not a very tough clear, I'll just go back to the DupliColor....

I believe that this bus is/was gonna be built.... I'll be on the hunt for another guess for you guys........

Mike, I tried to PM you but it says you can't receive any messages...... could you send me one? I wanted to chat about something.....

This place is in Fayetteville, NC, which is a little further than your 2 hour specs (not much, tho.....) and is suppose to be the Bomb hobby shop......... http://www.hayeshobby.com/tour-the-store/ My Sis used to go there for her son's train collection.....

What do you guys think about this one? Is it real, or illustration?

It's real... Here's another pic. another tiny tiny pic.......

What do you guys think? Is this one real, or not? Sorry for such a small pic........

I really like these wild one-off car creations.... Anyone have info as to who built this one? What is it called?

Thanks..... Well, I had a bit of bad luck with my paint. Tried to do some foiling, and some lifted..... Fortunately it's only on one panel, so I'm gonna try to touch it up the best I can.

Got the interior all done! I'm working on getting the floor pan and chassis together now.....

The '80s weren't all that terrible for some car manufacturers, I've always had a thing for the aerocoupe Thunderbirds...... If I could round up a pre-facelift 'Bird, I'd build something along these lines....

That '58 Impala isn't painted, that's all done with etching! Awesome stuff.......

I thought it looked "doctored", but that's a real photo of a car for sale on Craigslist here in NC...... Charlotte area I believe...... I'll try to find you guys another pic to guess on soon!
