Nick Winter Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Looks like you're all set to go there, Nick! It seems like most of these cars I see have the typical "Smokey & The Bandit" S.E. gold on black color scheme, so I'm looking forward to seeing it in Sammy's red on black! Not that gold on black is necessarily bad, just that I like some variety. I've got 3 T/A's Currently planned with SE graphics, can you guess which years ('77, '80, '83) He could be building it for the song east bound and down, or Texas bound and flying! I thought of it, then deceided I liked Trans AM better. update: found some neat parts, and started paint work, laid out a Silver base.

Nick Winter Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Just read this: "True story..Sammy was stopped on Rt 95 in Rhode Island back in the 80s in a Black 1980 Trans Am,The State cop who stopped him let him go after busting his B@lls about the color of the car(Not being Red),The cop was a big Hagar Fan and got his Auograph too."

horsepower Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 wow when that first riff hit chills just went up my spine! i and im sure of most everyone that watched that final race remembers it like yesterday! it sounds like to me it might be a guy named "Tim Wilson"! "The Ride" was originally done by David Allan Coe, it is a country song that was a pseudo tale about Hank Williams Sr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveM Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I know I'm jumping in a bit late, but I have a fun idea for a music build. I would like to do one of the vehicles from C.W. McCall's "Convoy". I just got a Revell T1 Samba model, and now I need to hit the bay for a few sets of Tamiya's Campus Friends, and a few driver and mechanic figure sets. Anybody got an idea which one I want to build? (Boy! This one isn't going to be easy!) I'll start mixing up the flourescent green and yellow paints tomorrow to see if I can come up with the right shade. (About three steps brighter than "Sneeze Green"!) Now if somebody builds a Dynamite hauler, we can display them together! I hope that I can have fun with this build, and that you all won't laugh too hard at my follies trying to paint and modify eleven figures and stuff them into a VW bus! Mind if I join?

CorvairJim Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Everybody's welcome in the build, Dave. The more the merrier! Consider yourself down for one "Chartreuse Microbus"... I was thinking about one of these as a second entry, if I ever get my first one finished, that is!

Nick Winter Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Well been busy, but I'm moving forward on this one. More to come. Nick Edit: Gotta finish the engine, and I do know about the scratch on the Quarter panel. The shiny spot behind the drivers seat is some clear glue, had to touch up the flocking after a boo-boo Edited September 10, 2011 by Nick Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 I like all the little details you're adding to this one, Nick: The C.B. radio, radar detector and extra gauges especially. The Pontiac "Arrowhead" on the back window is right in line with the song too - It looks like something Sammy would have on HIS Trans Am! The jacked-up rear suspension looks like it will have the perfect "Bad Boy Attitude" for the car in the song. The lettering on the tires is better than any I've done in the past. Keep up the good work. (I just wish my '64 "Little Old Lady" Dodge were so far along! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Wow. It's been nearly a month since anybody posted to this CBP. Is anybody still out there? I finally have the Little Old Lady's Dodge in paint, and the interior is nearly complete, but with other commitments I still have a ways to go on it otherwise. On a lighter note, I've been thinking about a side project to go along with this one. The song? "The Little Old Lady From Pascagoula"! Never heard of the song? Here's a taste of the lyrics: Well the Little Old Lady from Pascagoula, Lives in a tumble-down 40-footer, And parked in her muddy old weed-choked yard, Is a dented-up, rusted-out, primer-gray Ford... Ane everybody says there's nobody cooler, Than the Little Old Lady from Pascagoula, She drives through the mud and she drives over rocks, or she did until her four-by-four went up on blocks, She's THE LITTLE OLD LADY FROM PASCAGOULA!

W-409 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hey Jim, if it's not too late, I'd like to jump in with another project... No one has song 409 from Beach Boys? So I'd like to jump in with: '32 Ford 409 the song is of course Beach Boys - 409 If it's not too late. ...And oh, here are the lyrics. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/beach+boys/409_20013984.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Well, Niko, I guess you COULD interpret it as a guy buying a "Brand New 409" engine over the counter and installing it in his '32 Ford hot rod, but I've always thought he was meaning he bought the whole car from his local Chevy dealer. (To me, it was always a dark blue '62 Bel Air bubbletop.) Hey, personal interpretation is what his build is all about, so what the heck, go for it!

But my idea is to install 409 engine to '32 Ford 3 Window Coupe. Maybe with some NOSTALGIC speed parts, or then just Offenhauser style valve covers.... I'm not 100% sure, but it will be nostalgic Hot Rod. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
