nother project im workin on, dodge monaco goon/joker car.

pics004.jpg

pics006.jpg

was thinkin bout makin it a police car but i decided not too

pics022.jpg

since i didnt like the chassis or engine bay, i found out a 70 super bee chassis and engine bay fit perfect, but i didnt have the firewall, radiator support/radiator or a rear axle, so Zuk sent me a parts car 68 road runner that uses the same chassis and engine bay as the 70 be so im using them parts from the RR

You're welcome, SPIKE.

good to see them put to good use.

You got some great builds going on.

I can't till which one i want to see done first,.

I like them all.

The clear hood/trunk will be interesting.

The Convertible GTX is cool (I got the diecast one)

thanks Zuk. the hearse will probably be done 1st as im buildin it for a buildoff on LIL.

still tryin to figure out exactly what im gonna do on the bomba, its gonna be lime ice green from the testors laqure line, but im not sure if i should do the fenders black or a darker green, and have the motor the same color as the fenders or the main body color, i also wanna add a conti kit, so i gotta figure out what im gonna do there so the trunk will still open, and im thinkin bout opening the doors, but dunno if i will or not and if i do if i should have em open regular or suised,,,so many ideas!! ;):D

and the rambler i think im gonna add t-tops and maybe a 70 super tail panel if i cant find taillight lenses for it.

the drop top gtx will be good build. ive seen the die cast ones but didnt like em cuz of the lack of detail and they dont have the correct rims, i know that could be changed but itd still lack detail

Posted

ok i went and got some half round styreen for the vinyl top trim on the hearse, not sure what size would look best. top piece is .040" and the bottom piece is .060"

also got the color for the bomba today too

if you gonna do the bomba in that kind of color.... put some fat whites and hubcaps slammed for the custom look.... or go for OG colors on spokes.... :o

ive never liked the look of bombas on hubcaps, always though they looked best on spokes, or steelies wrapped in fat white if its got the "rat rod" theme

ive got the basic plan on how im gonna do it, and i got a chrome one that i had gotten a while back im using for mockups right now. beto has 2 that i want and i think ill use one on the plymouth. i think im gonna extend the bumper mounts and make the filler piece between the body and the bumper bigger so itll fit and look correct or close to it

well the ones beto got are more late 50s-90s style.... u want period correct, the AMT 36 ford kit has it included.... even the 37 chevys had a similar style OG rear spare... B)
