New On-Line Tutorial - Hot Rod Hints Chapter #1

[tim boyd]

I recently developed a series of "Hot Rod Hints" articles, brief "how-tos" on relatively easy steps builders can take to personalize your traditional hot rod model projects.

The first "Hot Rod Hints" shows how to add real wood bows to the open tops of your coupe and sedan hot rod model projects.

Your reaction (primarily the number of visitors and views at the link below) will determine whether I continue this approach in the future. so please notify your other hot rod building friends and ask them to take a look too.

Here's the link....nine images and captions for your reading and building enjoyment....

Thanks for looking checking this out, and I hope this inspires a few new traditional hot rod model projects. Check back soon for Hot Rod Hints, Chapter Two. Thanks for your interest....TIM

Thanks for the wonderful tips. Collectively, we all have tweaks and tips to share that may benefit others. Personally, I have learned quite a bit from the board and am grateful.

Thanks, Tim.

Great idea, Tim.

Probably nobody has built as many good-looking hot-rod models as you have over the years, and you know all the kits inside out.

Lots of info to share in one place.
