Anyone here into large scale (1/8) car models???

Did you make these yourself?

 

No I did not they are from a kit. But I don't know what kit.

 

I forgot to mention they are filled with foam to keep them from going flat.

 

Hey anyone looking to buy the Jesse James 36 rc car? I have one I'm willing to part with to help finance my new 1:1 34 ford. Just PM me.

 

Those look like they're from the Revell-Monogram "Big T" or "BiG Tub" kit....

 

Its been a while since I last posted, I have been super busy. Thanks again for the bids. Here is a pic of a new project I started a few days ago. I am going to make it a highway patrol car out of it. I bought a bunch of paint with no idea what I was going to do with it or the primer Ford. I was looking through them and came across flat white and black and got the idea for this car I thought it would be cool to have a cop car to chase down the bad ass hot rod. I am going to make some flashing lights for it, just not sure what im going to use yet.

 

I will be listing a 1/6th scale Batwing air cleaner on FEEBAY this weekend if anyone is interested. It was mastered by Jeff Palmer. This is the only one I have. It is 3D printed so it has a lite sand cast finish. Some high build primer & a lite sanding is all that is needed to get it smooth. Depending on how well it sells I may have more made. So this is kind of a test. I hope it does well. I'd like to offer these...Just don't know if there is a market for it.

 

Here is some pics of my first rust job what do you guys think? I also tinted the rear windows.

 

Bump for the weekend. I listed that batwing air cleaner if anyone is interested.

 

Hey Jim! Have you cast any in 1/8 scale??? I have a couple of regular 4-bbl intakes and carbs from the old (1960) 1/8 scale Monogram engine kit....

 

I'm working on it as we speak.

 

Cool!

 

Gettin close with the help of a great friend Jeff Palmer.

 

These intakes are from the 1960 1/8 scale Monogram Chevy engine kit.. It's a damn shame they don't make these anymore.. Except for the Edelbrock 3 deuce intake which can be found in any of the Revell-Monogram T bucket kits...

 

I think I have a couple of the hilborns.

 

So do I... One of those I reemed out the holes too 5/32" and planning on using some aluminum tubing for stacks..
I'm also going to scratch build some linkage for it..

 

I have a $hit load of copper tubes as well. They are flared at the top. They are parts my company makes so I grabbed a couple of handfuls.

 

I flared a couple of pieces and they look perfect... Hope I can make the rest of them match...
No biggie!... I can always cut up more pieces if I have to..

 

I'll post more pictures tonight of some other cool Monogram parts from the engine kit..

 

BIG-JIM, I believe these were available in the Monogram 1/8 scale parts packs by the pair. Of course they were in the kits as well, but I think most used slicks in the rear ...except for the Big Deuce (which had two sizes) and the Big Jag. I don't think the Big Vette had wide whites? Just thinking out loud..

Just finished a 1/6 scale bellytank

The Monogram Vette and Jag both had the wide whites up until '76 release..

 

wow! Great looking bellytank rick

 

In a couple instances I have picked up the original version of the blue 65 vette only to find it had 4 of the large 9.00 series wide whites, instead of the 5.00 series used on the fronts of all the other "T" kits. The rear tires in the 9.00 series were issued in the orginal big deuce kits and are very hard to find.

 

You can make a man-a-fre out of the 6 deuce intake, I made a corvette 2x4 intake out of the 1x4 one.

 

I thought those deuce biggies were 8.00 wide??? I gotta look at mine a little closer..

 

Here is a couple of pictures of the new Willys im working on. It still has alot of work to go, but I think it will be cool when it's done.

 

Anything new going on in BIG scale land???
Thought about starting a BiG T build this winter with an old (1962) 50 year old Monogram kit..

 

That looks damn good Ace!! I love it!

 

Wow, anybody???..
