spencer1984 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Mostly a combination of AMT '32 Phaeton body & seats, Revell '32 Highboy chassis, and MPC Firebird engine. The headers, blower, and carbs came from B-N-L Resins; valve covers from Calnaga Castings; and PE from Model Car Garage. Also has lots of scratchbuilt items including the shocks, air bags, radius rods, radiator braces, fuel/brake lines, pulleys, belts, throttle linkage, ignition wires, and compete exhaust system.

Hubert Rollins Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 That is awesome. Like, totally rad man. Also my favorite VH song (and video, wonder why?????). I do think you should add the hand lettering though, as that is what really identifies this car. I have wondered if the actual car is still in existence? Did you come across it in your research? You do very awesome work. I got it bad, got it bad, got it bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olschoolkid Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Very nice build. It makes a great combination of hot rodding and rock & roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Great build and detail! Nice snout on the blower. Did you lay down the graphics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmodelbuilder Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Great build! Pretty sure that was the late Tom McMullen's "Tom's Tub II" project car they built in his Street Rodder magazine in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wondered if the actual car is still in existence? Did you come across it in your research?I really, *really* considered it, and may still in the future, but until I'm 100% sure I want to add them I was keeping them off...Did you lay down the graphics? They were something I drew up in Illustrator and had printed as decals. Joseph at Fireball Moedlworks did the white layer, and I printed the colors on BMF decal stock.Pretty sure that was the late Tom McMullen's "Tom's Tub II" project car they built in his Street Rodder magazine in the 80's.That's my understanding. I heard that it's still around, but a little worse for wear after so many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Very cool. Was not familiar with real car but you nailed it. Plus you do not see Phaeton's hot rodded very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrindy77 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I believe I read somewhere that they pretty much trashed the car after the video. Somehow they managed to backfire back through the blower and destroy it. The "Hot for teacher" painted on the side left a ghost image after it was removed.Dings and knicks in the body and paint. I thought I had read that in an old issue of Street Rodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the burnout was an unscripted and unwelcome stunt that wasn't appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
