I don't know Wolfie personally but I stumbled onto his website for his business of building some incredible models, just thought you guys might be interested in seeing his work. His website is: www.wolfie427.com .... check it out!! Mike
Here's my 40 "Rodster" to date....... Playing around with induction, these are not whats going on it!!!!
Also I finished my 06 Pony yesterday. It has a 427 Cammer with 8 carbs on top. It has a Ford Thunderbird NASCAR chassis under it. It also has the "Boss 302 hockey stick" stripes on it. Sorry these photos suck, it was raining here yesterday or I would of taking them outside. Only shot I have of the engine.
Thanks "Thirtycoup".for the kind words....Yes I build for customers whatever they have in mind......{1/25th scale model cars that is!!}.....replicas and or beaten drag,gassers,rats or altered wheelbase.....whatever.....http://www.wolfie427.com/
It's not as nice as the other builds posted.It's an old 1/32 scale from the 50's or 60's made by aurora .Won it on ebay with a registration paper for 32 coupe.I kept the model and relisted the paper. Cool little coupe Repainted in only 2 days
I have a quick question for all of you guys. Is there a regular section or what have you for posting models ect.? Thanks. jody
Hey Jody, welcome to another part of the world. On the HAMB I know some of the guys post on there own personal page. Or in the forum of modelers group. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=105 Not sure if it helps or not.
Thank you all for the kind words...heres some more rides from Wolfies Speed And Drag Shop............ http://www.wolfie427.com/

Whoa. Can anyone say "attention to detail?" What does he do, go out and look at cars rotting away for a long time? Stuff looks real.
Wow! See? This is what I get for not really checking the main board too often. I used to get a bunch of stuff from Wolfie on E-Bay way back when & would always check his auctions...even for the entertainment of it all. Great job!
I have a copy of that pic. Great inspirational stuff for sure. I look forward to watching this one progress! Jody
This might be a good place to post. Anyone know where I could get my hands on a 27 T Coupe model? I haven't seen any around.
Be prepared for sticker shock. May I suggest shopping first them buying from a direct source like HobbyHeaven? Even check in here to see if someone can make you a deal on what you're looking for. I tend to wait for Hobby Lobby to have their sales tho it went from 1/2 off to 1/3 off which barely puts them in the reasonable range. They and Hobby Town U.S.A., around here, seem to have the best selection, tho I'm all for supporting the mom and pop operations, they need the funds. Thank you Big 3 Licensing lawyers.
Just started working on this in-between finishing up a couple other models. It is 1/16 scale and will be a tribute car to the alterds of the early 70s. I also have some aftermarket wheels and engine parts for it, I will have to make my own decals. I might go with a straight axle. The body is sitting way too high, initial measurements for scratch building a firewall.
