Custom Hearse Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 And you know sometimes that's enough. I don't know if this happens to you folks but sometimes I just want to build something simple and with less parts. Quite often to tell the truth. Every now and then I just want to build a straight out of the box build. I was just surprised that it was so simple, and yet called a full detail...
Dr. Cranky Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Marshall, you have reminded me of another factor (and perhaps another one of Doctor Cranky's confessions). Sometimes I pick up a kit and it says over 150 parts, and it turns me off. I say to myself (or to EYEGORE, if he's not out chasing another fire hydrant!): Do I really want to get this involved with a kit?
Custom Hearse Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Chasing fire hydrants? If I see a fire hydrant running from Eyegore I'm gonna be checking myself into the happy hotel... 150 parts? Yessiree bob!!! Every now and again I do like those easy, low count, 0 calorie kits... Keeps me from becoming a postal worker...
Danno Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Love the GIF, Marshall. It looks just like I imagine Agent G looks at work! LOL.
RancheroSteve Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Here's a full detail one I did a few years back. Just as it came in the box except for a little BMF on the sides.
Dr. Cranky Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 I hope more people pay homage to their CHEZOOMS here! The more I look at these beauties the more I get inspired to build another.
Danno Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 That's nice, Steve. It's even the proper Chezoom Teal. Kewl.
Trae Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Nicely done, Virgil! The flip-flop paint really "fits" this car. And the Ricky Couch version you mentioned is still around and in good hands. I'll try to get some pics when I get the chance.
Trae Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 As promised ... Ricky's Chezoom, even on one of his display stands.
Dr. Cranky Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Oh yeah, I love it. I was lucky I got to see that one and a whole bunch of other of Ricky's great builds at the show in Birmingham, I think it as 2006 or 2007.

DiscoSpud Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Thank you. Actually, the build is box stock except for a couple of little details I put on the interior, like the mesh covering the speaker grills, etc . . . Like I said, it's a beautiful kit, but I think it's hard to find. Also, if I'm not mistaken, there are two versions. One with an engine, and a curbside. It also reminds me of how much I enjoyed the Boyd Coddington show a few years ago before he died. He had Charly, the painter, who did these amazing paint jobs . . . I think he's working for Chip Foose these days . . . I can confirm that for you mate, he works for foose along with a couple of the other guys. Foose is my idol. I wanna build a replica of his truck
Mad Slammer Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 I have built a couple of these and I like them...
ea0863 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Now you've got me excited to pull my curbside out of mothballs and try my hand at it!
