Hot Rods IT'S ALL DOWN HILL FROM HERE!

wow-the talent out there! Nice work--make that: Great work!

 

Wow ! Amazing work !! Beautiful... Please keep posting your work !

 

you had my interest at "Corn Flakes box"

 

WOW, you sir have some awesome talent. Glad to see some of your work. Please keep posting, neat to see

 

That's just damn cool!

 

Good onya mate!.
I use things like Corn Flakes boxes all the time.
Their great for gaskets and fiddley little things.

On the Indian the rocker cover flap (that should open) is made from a piece of cardboard from a Corn Flakes box.
I've marked it with a red arrow.



The rest of the rocker box is made from some pine, MDF and PVC pipe.
The hinge is a bit of fun it's made from the plastic ink tube of a pen, and the metal that goes through it is a spoke from a bicycle wheel.
The spring on the flap is made from a twist tie from a loaf of bread.
I don't know if that's what you call it in the States.
But it's a piece of wire covered in plastic!.
I just stripped the plastic off it.

Anyway really glad you like it mate!.

Bad *** Nice work !!

 

Damn, that's some pretty slick work.
Thanks for showing us.

 

Ok.............

















Wow!

 

Mind boggling.

 

Great stuff- I've got a buddy who restores WWII era bikes and he's gonna be on this like a fresh coat of paint!! I don't think anyone else asked- what is your background? Artist, engineer,??? Amazing collection for sure- Thanks a million for sharing!

 

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need a build thread on your next project!! THANX for sharing!!

 

Wow, what a great imagination and Creative talent you have. Very cool indeed!

 

I guess I like to think of myself as an Artist.
But most people seem to call me a model maker.
I used to stumble around a lot trying to explain the how and why of what I do.
Nowadays I just cut to the chase.
I'm high functioning autistic.
I don't standout in a crowd as being different in any way, but my autism is what drives the way I build.
I'm able to replicate the shape of most things simply by looking at them.
I don't use plans or measurements just good old Monkey See, Monkey Do.
I'm a very lucky fellow in that what is seen as a handicap, allows me to build the way I do!.
I really enjoy every minute of it.

Cheers
Trev.

 

^^^WOW!^^

 

WOW ! You have some talent and skills, very nice !

 

I would imagine that when you are in a grocery store you are looking more at the packaging instead of the content,the artistic imagination is evident by the list of materials you have used in the construction and execution of these amazing works of art. HRP

WOW Amazing...

 

Call me officially "AMAZED". and "SUBSCRIBED"!

 

You've done good boy!
That's just amazing. Thanks.

 

x 2. Incredible!

 

so we have tubes from ink pens glued to cardboard and wood and pvc pipe etc... I guess you would be the person to recomend what type glue to use where, right?

 

You've got awesome skills, and a great eye for things. I think it's great when some one can produce such works of art using ordinary items.

Not to get sidetracked from the OPs cool stuff but this sectioned down 56 was at beech bend a few years ago, Its on a 80s chevy sprint (Notice the seam in the center of the windshield where it was cut and the little 4 lug cragars.)

 

A level of talent and imagination that goes beyond awesome.
