DePalma Does Dave's "Death Doorstep" as Deuce,.. Deliberately ?

Sorry about the ***le, but couldn't help myself ,......

I get emails from Sunny DePalma from time to time,... He builds all kinds of strange and wonderful things and is a outstanding artiest,
Today I open the email, and he built a 1/8th scale Deuce coupe,...
but it looks kinda like a car we all know and love, one he seen at the Detroit Autorama,....... No,.. it's not dead on,.. but you can't deny the similarities or where the inspiration came from

Here's Sonny's link
www.sonnydepalma.com

I sent these pictures to Littleman earlier today,.... but just had to share them with all of youz,... It's hard to believe he paints everything by hand !

 

Wicked........Thanks for sharing that with me earlier.........Littleman, I really need to finish that car, but some have beat me too it...

 

There's a guy in N.Y. that resin casts the 3 and 5 window body to work with the monogram 1/8th Deuce kit,... but I don't think this is one of them,... Sonny even made the garnish moldings,... lot's of 1 off stuff built for this car,... If you want to see some amazing stuff go to his web sight.

 

link didn't work for me.

 

Thats how dave wants to finish his...ahaha Iron Cross Rat Rod er Rific..

 

Ha Ha Ha ........I am still willing to bet that your still in your Pajamas, Littleman

 

I think it's working now,.... at least it did for me.

 

Link worked for me........amazing job in the detail on his models. . The free hand pinstripping is great ,on something so small.Littleman

 

Your somthing Small.. No Pj's just shorts..

 

One hell of an artist.........unbelievable........the painting of the "SHIFTERS" drag coupe is very cool.

For those interested in building a 1/8th scale '32 coupe, either a 3 or 5 window , you can obtain a resin cast body from a company in CA. called eDeuce, which is run by a gentleman named Mike Gratis. ( web site is www.edeuce.com) Unfortunately the gentleman from New York who was previously mentioned and had made the master patterns made for these bodies p***ed away a couple of years ago. His name was George Zurowski, and was the driving force behind marketing 1/8th scale bodies and numerous components for those of us that like to build large scale models. So check out M.G.'s website.
CHEERZZZZ!!!! rdzimm2001

 

That is some really nice work for a model.If that car was here in the real world it would be a car that I would buy.

 

I deal with Eduece and he has a very high quality product. As with all resin, some cleanup is required. Also I deal with Scalemotorcars, which also has lots of bodies, with more coming, also engines...flatheads, arduns, scot blowers, he has it.

 

And who are you??

 

The guy is amazing. Here's another of his works..

 

I didn't have time enough to get a good look at those at Billetproof, I saw he had the JJ RC car there, but that's the only one I know I saw for sure.
