Hey Zed, Looking cool as always. One question, Where do you get the WWW & wheels/hubcaps you use from? I am gathering parts for a build & need a pair of sombrero caps.

 

thank you wheels and tires came from the Modelhaus

http://www.modelhaus.com/

tires are T-270, and hubcaps are 49 caddy

 

Von Francos Eye Gone Wild-Very nice kit to assemble.

 

Another unfinished project and kind of a bitch to build. Gotta make it look like the real thing,ya know. Header bluing a bit overdone. Pure Hell.

 

Where is everyone today? Watching football. A small but mighty collection of cool models!

 

Another kit I had on the shelf.Enjoy!

Badd Ass Car Zed! Were did you find the Fairlane model?It would be cool to build one for my girlfriend.She has a 55.

 

Still plugging away at this 32.

 

Here's a few I recently got together:

 

And a few WIPS on the bench.

 

I know it looks kind of tough now, but it has a story. This '55 Nomad kit was given to us by a family friend who had it chrome plated in a LEGG's pantyhose factory. It was the first kit that I remember my dad and I sitting down to build "together", although I probably was mostly there for the comedy relief. At any rate, I have some good memories about that.

And speaking of model kits, I did another story that has a bunch of old ones, including this one. The title picture is actually my Avatar here! Click if you dare. http://www.examiner.com/x-10974-Kan...1950s-and-60s--Who-builds-these-things-anyway

Some of you guys are really great model builders. I'm jealous!

 

Here's one I just finished, I'm calling it an A-bucket!!

 

Hey Lyle, nice to see you over here. Here is one of mine.

 

Some of my favorites. I bought them done already. I quit building models. Dont have time to work on the real thing let alone a model.

 

Nice models! Cool history on the plated Nomad.

Nothing to add this week. The A roadster's at a stand-still- hope to get back to it later this week.

 

Ok so I was looking at one of my favorite kits, AMT's 1949 Ford coupe kit, I love this car and have built this kit several times, this time I thought I'd try sectioning.. with absolutely no idea what I was doing I attacked it with my dremel tool, here's where I am with it so far..





Not sure if the fins will stay it was a whim and I'm not sure how much I like them.. still have a lot of sanding to do but I'm diggin' it

 

It's an amt kit, i believe you can find it easily and cheap on ebay

 

Slim, do you ever sleep? Gary

 

Slim, I was wondering the same, but I love your builds.

 

Good looking stuff haven't done models in years seems like if I have the time I spend it on the real thing.Looking at these pics make me want to go start a kit man they were fun.

 

kicks ass man! I sectioned one this weekend too, I had to do it the 'traditional' way with the razor saw... we both seemed to make similar cuts too....

I need to figure out a grill and what to do with the tail lights, maybe lose the windsplints.....

 

HERE IS MY CONTRIBUTION

 

I am guessing that is Revell's 32 three window... Is that front axle and brake drums from that kit ?

 

Thought you guys might like to see this .....

 

This is fricken sweet........nice job

 

In the shop workin' on the real thing! HRP
