Foxer Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Mine would have to be the cars I've owned .. guess that "almost" factory stock.
Agent G Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 First: Police cars I have driven in my career. Second: Police cars based on time period. 40's 50's 60's Third: ANY hotrod/ratrod/dry lake racer. G
sobpinstriping Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 i cant build any thing stock, its just not me, with that said, customs are by far my favorite thing to build then old show cars (mainly roth) then hotrods cheers mat
Jon Cole Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Here is what I tell anyone when this subject comes up (and it does!)... I am a CAR SLUT! True that! I love them all! Well... maybe all, except donks. Life... is a span of time waiting for the next model to be built! I am still waiting to build a: lowrider big rig 50's custom 60's custom rat rod weathered beater funny car gasser rail vintage Nascar model T ...and so much more! There is so many styles of models to tap in to. Sadly, I am getting slower at it. I also want to start building models of cars (& trucks) I have owned.
Jared Roach Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 What I like to build: mini trucks full size trucks muscle cars(new and old) customs junkers factory stock lowriders(sometimes) It ussally depends on what I want to do to the kit and my ideas I have been thinking about for it.
Foxer Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Um, what's this factory stock you speak of? Factory Stock is the raw materials we make OUR stuff from! ... like hot rods, customs, junkers, muscle .. etc. etc. ANYTHING but what we started with! Edited August 8, 2010 by Foxer
Eshaver Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Well, cause my builds focus on Resturants , service stations and an occasional older house , I focus on Replicia Stock . Then I might do an occasional wrecker as I am now , followed by a rarely done streetrod . Ed Shaver
Jeff Johnston Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I mostly build Factory Stock, but I like the occasional exotic, junker rust-out or non drag race car. Never been into Drag Racing...why I don't know.
diymirage Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 most of the kits i build are late 60s to mid 70s muscle cars, there is just something about the lines of those cars you cant find anywhere else most of them come out looking like a street machine i guess but it really depends, sometimes i build a car based on a paintscheme i have in my head like this nascar converted to a lowrider i had the vision for the hood and it only seemed fitting to be on a lowrider so thats how that car came to be this hemi cuda on the other hand was build around an engine i had the log mani with the 8 seperate carbs left over from a 396 desoto firedome hemi and i build the entire car around it...so i picked a body i thought it would work in, added rims tires and a wing i could imagine to go with the engine and went from there and sometimes its my big mouth that gets my in trouble like this 65 vw beetle converted into a front engine (GTI 1.6L) rear wheel drive pickup truck i jokingly said to enter into a truck buildoff where the rules stated it had to be a post 1970 stock bedded pickup truck with at least a V8 which i was then called upon to build (should really finish this some day) but as a general rule, i like them like this: street cars running from mild to wild and from 16 year old kid working on his first car to all out pinks racer (this sardine challenger was mainly build based on the inspiration i got from seeing a camaro on here with a gorgeous lace job) this challenger was build based on a diecast my father in law has, the idea was "what would the car look like that inspired the concept challenger as it was build in this diecast?"
Danno Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I start just about everything but I don't finish much of anything. I guess I'm just a collector of partially built kits.
Harry P. Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 When I was a kid I built them all... stock, custom. drag, you name it. But nowadays I've settled into factory stock.
The Modeling Hermit Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 My favorite is big rigs, but I also build factory stocks, an occasional custom, and dirt track stock cars.
diymirage Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 My favorite is big rigs, but I also build factory stocks, an occasional custom, and dirt track stock cars. seem a great looking big rig pull up at my job today, tons of custom stuff on it, lime green everything pete'
Dragline Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 If it burns Nitro, I'll build it. The occasional Muscle Car thrown in for good measure. Bob
impcon Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Old built ups rule!!!!!!!!!! Building straight from the box is fun but there is just something about reviving something that someone else built years ago and tossed away as being hopeless! Factory stock is my preferred style of build.
my66s55 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I build basically factory stock. About the only exception would be a t-bucket rod.
