Fifty cents spent on a poster board

makes for an outstanding backdrop.

McLoving the direction this thread is going.

 

some more if your interested,don't want to be a thread hog.

 

Finished painting the '60 Ford with a chopped roof.

 

My Grandfather passed away this past year. He must've built thousands of models. I was lucky enough to inherit his hot rods. Bitchin 60s period rods. He brush painted all of them in metallics. Usually did the upholstery in leather or corduroy. I grew up staring at these four as a kid and proud to own em now.

 

Not hot rods, but my Mom built these back when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to inherit them. And smart enough not to mess with them.

 

Sorry for your loss.

Considering the tools your grandfather had back then to build them, he did a great job. They will be keepsake's for sure. The Ala Kart is one of my all-time favorite customs.

 

Some more pics of build ups.





















Just need to place the glass in the Metro and it's finished

 

and I finish up tonight with these,thanks all for looking.

My take on "Jakes' pick-up"

 

'50 convert anyone?

 

This is bad ass Coyote

 

Freshly completed yesterday...still HOT

 

Decided that I really didn't care for the colors that I'd laid down on my Metro gasser project, last week....
So I stripped it and started over with a totally different combo....

 

Usually slows a bit in Spring (top half of the world) as a lot of fellas start gettin' out in their 1;1 rods
Sad, but true

what do you use to strip the paint off your models? I've got a '32 3w with a botched paint job on it that I'd like to strip.

 

I know Marty from another board and he sometimes attends club meetings I put on.He stated he used 91% alcohol to strip the first paint job,myself I use Scalecoat II,it comes in a bottle and has a green tint to it,should be able to find it at your local hobby shop or order it online and wear some type of protection on your hands, if it will eat paint imagine what it will do to your hands.
