  1. This is really cool Bryan! Just the right amount of weathering. I really like this. I can almost hear "Surfer Girl"!

    67 CAMARO

    For all of it's issues, you did a "killer" job on it. Looks like a "Barris" creation!
  3. As usual, your attention to detail and level of skill is unsurpassed! This is REALLY coming together nicely!
  4. This is a killer Merc! What a great collaboration of two builders and both of your visions. Great paint by "Cranky" and a great finish Bryan!
  5. This is awesome Mehmet! You've captured the "used" look to a "T". Great "Patina"!
  6. Very nice build Dario! I have to agree with "rmvwguy" and "crazyjim's" statements. Very "old school". Almost looks like something out of the magazine "Hot Rod Deluxe". Great job!
  7. Pretty "Ratty" Bryan! I love the "southern" body work on the roadster, and the "Hemi" sticker on the gas tank is a laugh!
  8. Nice lookin' "Hi-Boy" Rickard! Got any more photos?
  9. What a fantastic build! Great attention to detail. These are really 1:1 photos aren't they? You're just trying to fool us!

    70 IMPALA

    I've got a sweet spot for mags and they look great on this Impala. I had a '70 convertible with a slightly altered 350. Sure wish I had it now. Great custom work on this Mike. Nice job!
  11. Beautiful car! Fantastic paint scheme! From the wheels right through to the engine bay! Really nice job!
  12. Nice build Matt. I love the stance, and the detailing and weathering are right on. Great job!
  13. Joe, this is awesome! I love the "Blue suade shoe's" look! The wheel and tire treatment is pretty cool as well. Nice job!
  14. This is lookin' real good Shane. I love the color combo. What are you doing with the interior?
  15. I have a feeling that this Willys is going to be one fantastic build when you're done John. At this point it looks great. Does the actual car have the roll cage?
  16. This is really cool Mike. You did a great job on it. The added photos give a great view at all of the work. You may want to check out, ACME License Maker, this is a website that you can create license plates for your models. I use them all of the time. It's free!
  17. Hey Mike, NICE! For 1/32,..... that looks like 1/25th. Where did you get the motor? One other thing. I wonder if we're related. I've got some family down in Texas.
  18. This is going to turn out to be one good looking hot rod truck Ryan! I love the "tuck 'n rolled" interior. Very cool!
  19. This is a serious attack on this body. I kind of like the design concept of a chop to a four door. Think of all of the possibilities, wheels, interior, paint. Since you've added the custom pieces....keep it going. This will be very unique!
  20. What I great idea to build some feeling of self accomplishment into a group of young kids. I'm positive that they "love, Mr. Allen, and he's my favorite teacher". I'm also sure that those Chargers are proudly displayed in their rooms or on the fireplace mantel. Hopefully they will keep at it.
  21. Since I started this back at the end of April, I've started on two other projects and, well although I can multi-task.......I need to finish this one up. Colors have been decided on, along with wheels. Exhaust has been built from aluminum tubing and is ready. Dash is done, and am now working on the interior. I wanted to add some head rests to give the interior a little more of an update. As you can see in the photos the headrests are white. In fact they are in the oven right now. I use a polymer clay product called FIMO and have included a photo of the package. I have used this on another build for seat cushions on a '32 Ford. The stuff is very easy to work with and if you don't like the first shot, you can roll it up a start all over again. Once it comes out of the oven and cools down it is easily sanded and painted. I bake is according to the instructions at 230 degrees for 30 minutes on an old 4" x 4" tile. Try it....you'll like it! As soon as I get a bit more done, I'll update this build. Thanks for lookin!
  22. Very "COOL" looking rod Steve. Love the uncovered rear-end!

    Salt Rod

    Awesome build James. I love the stance, low 'n lean! The "up-top" adds a lot of character to it. Love it!
  24. Outstanding! Too bad they closed the Filmore! Look-out Paige, Satriani, Bonomassa, Beck, here comes young miss Stiles Keep at it young lady! Oh Yea! Keep modeling. There are some great "Rock'n'Rollers" out there who do it. check out what Rod Stewart does to relax!
  25. Another great looking build Tony. This is very cool! I guess they didn't require "wheelie bars" and "chutes" back then!
