Another New Guy From Michigan

[Rudy]

Hello all, My name is Rudy, I live in Howell MI, I am 26 and have been building on and off (mostly off) since about 8ish. I was paralyzed in a hit and run motorcycle accident 4 years ago, after which I got back into modeling because i've always enjoyed it and my options for stuff to do can be pretty limited at times, especially in the winter! I just fifnshed a 1:1 87 Mustang Notchback, with a supercharged 2003 Mustang Cobra 4.6L engine, C4 Trans, 10 point cage (with swing out door bars so I can get in and out!) Yada yada it's fast..... I went 9:50s off the trailer at Milan Dragway this past summer. ANyone who is local, me and my car were featured in the detroit free press on the thursday before the woodward dreamcruise, it was kinda neat. I will post a few pics of it. Looking forward to making some friends on here, and I see that there is a downriver model club. I was looking at a webpage from a guy by the name of Pat Redmond and I saw the level of the cars there, they looked great. I also noticed in one of the pics there wasnt a single young guy there! Maybe they will let me sit-in on one of their meetings so I can see how it is done. Working on my first chopped car right now, a 26 Ford Model T sedan, and also a "Gas Rhonda" 69-70 Mustang funny car.

thanks for having me, Rudy

Pics of my REAL car...... I still have to put the interior back in it, but it is coLLLLD in the garage and I am sick. No ###### room in a 1 car garage either.....

I hate this hood, I never even drove it once with it on, I have a new smaller hood.......

And I have about 10,000 photos of every step in between.......

Awesome Mustang Rudy! I belong to the downriver club you mentioned. Email me if you like and I can send you any information you might want about it. You would be more than welcome to "sit in" on a meeting. I also belong to a small group of guys that meet in Flint if thats closer for you.
