Wheel(s). The tire is kit sourced, the wheel including valve stem and core is 100% scratch.

How about a can of tire sealer? The bottom of the can has the code printed on it and there is a core in the valve too.

This project has been stalled for 10 years!!! It started out as a 1/12 Roush Racing IMSA GTO Cougar. I have failed a number of times to build a body I was happy with....so here it sits.

Chassis is all Evergreen and Plastruct plastic. Some Grandt line NBW castings. Suspension works with working coil overs. Engine started as a small block Chevy with all detail removed from block, re detailed as a SBF and new heads and valve covers made and cast in resin. Lots of turned aluminum pulleys etc.

I NEED to work on this again....... :(

A mundane coolant cap...

A gauge set of Auto Meter Ultralite series. Everything is scratchbuilt including the lenses. I created the gauge faces and the needles are parts mounted on pins, not decals...

Three row radiator. Mostly made of aluminum, some brass, some steel for the core. 67 pieces make up the shell, core, core support, fittings/hardware, cap and petcock.

Steering wheel. Around 20 parts. Mostly aluminum. I broached the splines into the receiver so they match the splines on the column. The red button on the right is for the nitrous. Even made a plastic wire guide to keep the switch wires from dangling loose, yes, that's a phillips head. (Note the stitching on the faux leather grip.)

Here some of mine...

This is a Fiat 643N Fire Truck, that my dad had in his Fire Station in Italy. It is 1/24 scale and it is all scratch built except the wheels and tires, that I mold and casted in resin using tires from a kit.

The ladder move all around and goes up and down. The wheels turns.

Here's my scratchbuilt stuff, a full wooden bed floor made from Basswood, some styrene strips for the reatining straps, tiny little bolts for the straps, and some straight pins for the fender bolts. Next are the scratch made tail lights with straightpin "Blue Dots", and a gas filler neck and cap made from aluminum tubing and some sprue.

The entire bed floor (Top and bottom) is all wood, I made a duplicate of the plastic bed floor for the bottom side with all the proper mounting tabs, cut strips for the top side, stained it all and put it together!

The new tail light lenses are some Red plastic I got from an old motion detector I replaced at work one day....

This is simply two different sizes of aluminum tubing fit together for the filler neck, and the cap was the same tubing with a piece of sprue shoved into it and shaped. I added a very fine piece of wire to the cap and ran it down the filler neck so the tiny little cap wouldn't get lost on me!

I love the fact that the VW bug camper is modeled after real 1:1 cars

Thank you Derick, when I saw the real car close to where I live, the first thing I though was to build one. :)

Some of you have seen this in action up close and personal, but here's a completely scratchbuilt working top frame for a '64 GTO I was building years ago. I've since abandoned the model as there were other issues that would involve totally taking the model apart, and I just lost the ambition.

I used an original shop manual to get the hard points made..............then just shrunk the details down to suit things for 1/24 scale. I probably won't ever have this in the model if I ever rebuild it-------just wanted to prove something to myself that an in scale working top frame can be done. ;) BTW, I still have the top frame, and it still folds up as well as it did when I built it back in 2003-04.
