3 Finished In 2021

[Dennis Lacy]

I only finished 3 models this year but I’m very happy with them. I was also beyond surprised to see a prominent feature on my ‘27 T Touring in the last issue of MCM. The ‘29 Surf Shop truck was done as a tribute to Tim Boyd and a how-to article that he did in Street Rodder Magazine’s Modelers Corner column back in 1990 which showed from start to finish how to kit-bash Revell’s 29 Pickup into a modern street rod. The ‘57 Chevy was built from the old tool AMT kit and is my first attempt at a full custom with grill, rear fin and taillight treatment of my own design. 

See you in 2022!

Only three but by the looks, the three best done models displayed on any site I've seen today..Unbelievable quality and the Chevy, just can't describe the workmanship..Excellent and super well done..

@Dennis Lacythree completes at that level beats mass production any day of the week. Your attention to detail with your hot rod builds is inspiring. 

[FLHCAHZ]

Those look great.  High level of craftsmanship no doubt.

[PappyD340]

Three outstanding builds!

[AMT68]

I agree those are three outstanding builds and that monochromatic, modified '57 Chevy is such a one of a kind masterpiece.

Hi Dennis!

Three superb models, bravo! 

Do I see the door panels from Buttera's Tall-T in your A-Pick-up, or is-it a scratchbuilt component? Just curious...

That '57 is smooth!  Well done, thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Claude! You are correct, the door panels and front seats were used from the ‘26 T Sedan. If you go to the link below there is extensive build coverage of this model and several others that joined in with their own versions.

Beautiful looking builds. I really liked the way you Kustomized the '57. The Pink components on the Surf themed pickup are a surprising touch.  Congratulations on the Touring car and it being pictured in the magazine. 

[Draggon]

Three like that is plenty enough Dennis! ? Meticulous work as always. I love that T, most deserving of being in the magazne!

Happy new year brother!

Hi Dennis!

Thanks for the infos and the link.

If I may, one more question: What is the provenance of the chromed grille insert bar on the Chevy? I'm finishing a custom these days, and it would be a perfect addition... Thanks!

I made it from the stock grill bar. I cut away the big center crest area then added material to the ends and shaped them to make it the full width of the opening. The “chrome” is Molotow pen.

Look great Dennis, not a big fan of customized '57's but you're rendition that one is cool?

Thank you!

I should have known it was a custom, because I nerver saw anything exactly li it. The Chezoom by Coddington had a slim single bar, but it was much more straight, and would not fit my needs. So, I guess I will scratchbuild one as you did. Hope mine turns out as good as yours...

Masterfull work!

Super nice. Fabulous work. That custom 57 is so cool. That touring is great. So is the pickup.

[Koellefornia Kid]

Great rods and the ´57 looks just kool!

[Limeyglue]

Great builds Dennis. Love the rear lights on the 57.

[Dragonhawk1066]

[slusher]

Wow, thank you so much! Very generous of you to say. 

[TooOld]

All three are beautifully done !  Really like the T Touring and the '29 Shop Truck , congrats on the magazine spread .

[Bernard Kron]

Hi Dennis,

A subtly impressive year from your bench. The full custom is the standout to me, and quite the debut in this style from you. But your interest in a more modern set of decades in traditional hot rods is fairly unique and offered up some mighty fine modeling, too.

All the best in 2022,
B.

The '57 Chevy...???????

[Zippi]

Great looking models.  That 29 surf truck looks nice.
