[ATTACH] Custom Craft, Nov.-Dec. 1960
Church Key, that rail is looking good! It's great to see beautiful metal work.
[ATTACH] Raleigh Speedway program, No. 3, 1954
I can't believe that I only finished one car in 2014! My detailed build for the H.A.M.B. dragster build-off in the spring went awry when the resin...
[ATTACH] Custom Cars, July 1960 Are two headlights enough? Four? Six?
[ATTACH] Car Model, April 1964
[ATTACH] Hop Up, July 1952 That's a nice lookin' front end.
They look like '63 Buick Riviera tail lights installed upside down. The '63s had a round tri-shield badge in the center. The nearly identical '64...
Although not a real car (I hope), this one has an interesting front suspension: [IMG]
[IMG] Action Comics, February 1939 It's interesting to see how illustrators show hot rods and race cars. They often emphasize movement and...
Thank you, gwhite.
[ATTACH] Here's something a little different. This 1939 street scene in a distant suburb of Los Angeles shows a lot of future H.A.M.B.-friendly...
I, too, disliked the H.A.M.B. board after the makeover. Unlike many, I still dislike it. Those hangy-down things with icons on them look really...
Isn't the point of hot rods to increase performance by, among other things, reducing weight? I don't see the point of making a big deal out of...
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/media/albums/interesting-images-in-magazines.37366/ The images in my posts have been replaced with a little...
Can you get rid of all those little hangy-down graphic things? Are they supposed to look like ribbons or medals or what?
...and then there are the rear-end ratios since we don't include the period when speaking. At least one even made it into a much-recorded song:...
[IMG] 1964 advertisement, publication unknown Although I never bought monster models when I was a kid, occasionally I'd get one as a present....
At the risk of being a "Mr. Obvious," why not sell the sedan and buy a hardtop?
I'd guess that someone with glass experience might have made them for a show-only vehicle by cutting the lenses off of sealed beam headlamps....
Here's one custom that I hope didn't get beyond the illustration stage. January 1956 Rod and Custom
Thanks! My in-progress entry for the H.A.M.B. Plastic Model Builders dragster build-off will benefit from this. I had hoped to avoid including a...
Nicely done. Please post more as it progresses. I like having the clock on the back wall in the picture -- you guys are fast workers!
[IMG] I built this holder to make it easier to spray the late '50s six-cylinder rail that I'm building for the H.A.M.B. Plastic Model Builders...
Thanks for building one that got approved. Here's an idea for coloring: paint the frame a light color then paint the "extra" bars a dark color so...
Here's my HO scale scratchbuilt model of a station in 1939. [IMG] I photographed and measured the actual station in Echo Park (north of downtown...
OK, it's not an image from an old magazine. It's one page from the AMT 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 model kit instructions. It shows the advanced...

January 1961, Custom Craft
These are all lookin' good. Froghawk, that's a beautiful mask-and-spray on the '34 -- not a trace of errors, edge build-up or anything. Lyle and...
