I put this one together a little while back. [IMG] Gotta finish this one before the end of February: [IMG]
Holy shit, THERE I AM! Not sure I'm liking the bald look, but fuck it. I was never that pretty anyway. Thanks for the great race, Paul.
When I saw it cruisin' out of the PrimerNats, it was eerie - all you could see over the top of the other cars was this blown engine moving...

I'm working on a pinewood derby car myself: [IMG] [IMG] Also trying to make a little headway on my PPE: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
dragrcr50 is right - very nice altered-style rod. Gassers have fenders.
I agreed with most of 'em, but his bitch about the peeling vinyl and "unrestored" condition on those import drag cars was just ignorant - those...
There's also a resin chopped fastback Cadi custom that's cast by Freeman Cars. You can contact him at freemancars@yahoo.com, but he probably...
Great stuff! That replica of Death's Doorstep is lookin' tits, and kudos on the Merc score, too. I haven't done anything lately - had to empty...
Great thread, Jeff! I guess I was an "early adopter" with my Koala Pad back in 1982 or so, but haven't had a graphics tablet since. Guess it's...
It's a 1:1 blowmolded polyethylene shopping cart body, actually. ;)
I built one in scale: [IMG] [IMG]
Yep - I'm one of THESE guys. The car got a little thrashed in that pile-up... [IMG] ..but I managed to limp to the bottom of the hill: [IMG]
You guys missed the fun today. Some leftover water on the road from yesterday's rain made this turn interesting: [IMG]
Walt, Awesome work, as usual.
Personal favorites: Metro street freak and the AWB Elco.
Just started throwing together a lil' T pickup. [IMG] [IMG] Think lavender with white and red trim.
I got "the fear" during the making of this very video. Knocked the center right out of my left front Tuff wheel (the one featured prominently in...
As one of the "illegal" guys, and one that ran larger-diameter spoked wheels on my first "car", I can tell you that you'll probably want a few...
Keep the updates coming - love this little car.
I started this one last week... I know it's an American Austin and not a bobbed-off Model A, but I'll bet you can see where I got the inspiration...
Looks like he has it ready to roll! http://exphose.com/albumphoto.aspx?albumid=256&page=1&sortType=9 [IMG]
My lil' bro's '62: [IMG] [IMG] Since the pics, it's had a wheel change to steelies and salt flat discs, and the rear axle seized, so it's parked.
I had my first race this last Sunday. Holy crap, what a blast! I totally misjudged the second hard right (along with everyone in front of me)...
That 'liner is made up from two of the Tetsors re-issues of the old Hawk salt flat cars in 1/32. I flipped one upside-down and used it as a...
Just sprayed some primer on my streamliner: [IMG] [IMG] And this project, although Beatnik Bandit-inspired, has more of a late sixties/early...
It did pretty well the first night, but had to retire when the steering became limited and the coolant system turned into "Ol' Face-full". He was...
One of my best buddies was a marine with an all American indian detatchment that operated in Southeast Asia during Nam. We never got tired of...
Went to boot in Orlando back in '87. Nuke A School in '88. Washed out of Nuke Power School and went to U.S.S. America CV-66 as a conventional...
I haven't been on the SAE site in over a year - funny since I should be promoting the model show we're putting on at the primer Nats, but... I'd...
