This truck was inspired by an article in a magazine. I built it about 10 years ago. I would not call it a glue bomb, but maybe a paint bomb!!!

I chopped the top of a Lindberg '34 and mated it to everything else from a Revell 3 window. I was really proud of it back then, even though it has clear coat pooled up everywhere. I still have not decided if to keep it as is, for testament of the past, or to take it apart and restore it to proper standards.

Here is another Phantom built around the same time. It is far from perfect, but it is one of my all time favorite builds. A Dan Fink Speed Wagon converted into p-up, sitting on top of the AMT's Phantom Vicky frame and suspensions. The sides and the floor of the bed are balsa wood. The wheels are from Detail Master with American Satco rear tires and prowler seats with the headrests cut off. This was also the first time I used "hot paint" on a plastic model. I don't remember the name of the color, but it is Pactra paint for RC bodies. I got a kick out of building this and it still brings a smile to my face.

I need to put a new mirror on it, as the original one that was on has disappeared. The model appeared on the cover of the 2003 Contest Annual, photographed at the NNL East. ( I lived in New Jersey at the time)

Heres my hot rods. A couple of 37 Fords. I love these cars. Just need a humpback and a conv to complete my 37 stable. The green took a best in class and the red one took a second in class.

I'll throw my Hot Wheel in. It's been posted Under Glass. From the Bone Shaker to a Rat. Stripped telephone cable for wire, ground the front end. Made an intake and breather from plastic sheets. Whittled the block into shape. Painted with red primer, water soaked, sprinkled salt, flat black, sanded. The hubcaps are thumbtacks. Fun little build.

My contribution to this thread, though I suspect this probably belongs in the 'Under Glass' forum.

[Qwit Pushin]

...., it's late. Just realized this IS the UNDER GLASS forum. Time for bed.

[CEKPETHO BCE]

Those 2 are amazing

[Qwit Pushin]

Thanks, Andrew. The Deuce took the most time and remains probably my favorite of all my builds.
