Hot Rods I can afford to build 1

1/8 scale T-bucket with a couple hundred hours of build time.

 

Wow, that's really cool. I wish I had the time to work on some models... I loved 'em as a kid but always followed the instructions. It never dawned on me that it was just a model and I could cut and hack it all I wanted to.

That interior is killer.

 

That's killer Sonny...so if you factor the costs by 8 could you build me a full size one?

 

1/8 scale 32 coupe inspired by Littlemans Deaths Doorstep.

 

Okay now I want this one...killer work Sonny!

 

well ya gotta fix the gas pedal!!!!!!it's on the right side over by the door in dave's car!!!!!!!!

 

Wow!

I'm not even going to ask how your airbrushed the rear end of that thing... it's only a couple inches of room to work with. Amazing detail man.

 

1/8 scale Tall T chopped and turned into a digger.

 

Impressive detail!

 

I would guess its a decal, the sort you can get in auto parts shops.

Dude, I take that back, are they hand painted? I had a good look at them and think I jumped the gun. If so I am REAL sorry. That is awesome work!
Doc.

 

Save your money Sonny and buy and scavenge parts. You have a very keen eye for detail. You will build a nice ride someday. Dream about building the full scale model. Be patient and it will all fall together someday.

 

Yes they are all hand painted, no wonder my gl***es get thicker every year!

 

Awesome!

 

Amazing. You've got amazing patiences and attention to detail.

 

Very nice EVERYTHING.
Some day you'll have a nice full size one for sure,
You got talent out the ying yang.....
Keep it up.......
Thanks for sharing

 

Damn Sonny ... You've got patience and soft hands. I gave up making models because every time i went to carefully glue the hoozywhatsit on the thingamajig.... SNAP! Aww ****!

That's awesome detail painting too. Just the beating of my heart screws up simple details like that ...

 

Man, you need to sell me some of your originals and use the coin to build one in 1:1 scale.

Doc.

 

im pretty good at remembering names and i think ive seen your work before , it was a bad-*** black 57 chevy in a magazine (i think it was a model mag , maybe not) . if your the same guy ive gotta tell you i was a youngster just getting into models and that thing blew me away. either way your work is amazing !
Fink

 

Nice.

 

awesome work man..you sourcing all those parts (like the spindle mount 12 spokes) from other 1/8 kits or is there aftermarket items available for them. I'm sure you scratch built some **** too....

 

The 12 spokes come in the Lindberg Double Dragster kit, it also has 2 Y blocks! Cool kit. One of the better 1:8 places is here,

These are all original castings. Not knock offs of others as some seem to think.
Doc.

 

Sonny your work never ceases to amaze me , thankyou for postin your art ......

 

WOW!! I cant believe the work in those things. AWESOME!!

 

I met Sonny last year at a show at Garlits... his painting and murals are just amazing. I'm also an 1/8th scale builder... when I have time... Gary

 

Great work. I cant work with those tiny parts just to put one togetther much less modify them

 

Dam..i mean really Dam great stuff man.

Now all ya gotta do is move up to full scale and let your artistic juices flow...I would love to see the out come of that.

Nice work
