Hot Rods Secret Black Widow Shots... H-AMBR Award??

Full Moons still on order.

 

kirk my mom s got dementure she wouldnt remember the size of your weener or if you were ever ther kevron

 

Now, ...that's funny. I about back flushed my nose with coffee. Thanks for the morning laugh!!!

 

Is it life mimics art, or vice versa? Gary

 

I was thinking that it needed some oversimplified chrome box covers over the carbs and other engine parts so that it looks like a 1:1 version of the actual model... just scale up the parts with giant parting lines on 'em.

 

Great idea, really nice.

 

HOLY ****! I can't tell you how ****ing excited I am to be going this year! That thing is awesome and HHR are rulers.

 

That turned out really nice!

 

I built the kit back then and have a NOS one stashed...it was not just a neat model, it taught a lot about the proportions and stance that made this one look good.
I agree on the display...this thing NEEDS a 25X...oops, it's Monogram, make the 24X... tube of Testor's glue and a gigantic Testor's paint bottle sitting next to it.

Whoa...it just ocurred to me...if exactly duplicated, it could be one of the first hybrid rods! Isn't the kit rear platform recessed for an electric motor with battery pack in bed??

 

Meatball...the Widow you show is a well known old rod which appeared in magazines in two guises with different owners...freshly restored. I'm sure Monogram knew of it and borrowed freely.
Other BW is a Monogram kit from maybe 1959...I have never seen in my magazine collection a prototype car, and I have asked about that on the HAMB several times. I would bet there was an actual prototype, likely not painted like the model.
The companion car in the Monogram line was the Green Hornet, a Model T Roadster cl*** drag car based closely on a real HRM cover car.

 

Perfect!

 

Tremendous! Congrats guys and good luck at the show.

 

Incredibly faithful to the original! Speaking as someone who's STILL a modeler at age 56 (How the hell did that happen?) and built the kit at least four times since I was twelve, I love the concept behind this project and the execution is just breathtaking! Congrats to the guys at Hollywood Hot Rods on a fantastic job!

Maybe they oughta do a similarly faithful take on the "Blue Beetle"!

Here's my recent take on the Black Widow, it's a "Wild Canary" though since there're already a few nice resto-builds in black!

 

I heard a rumor that the display will be out of this world with some 1:1 goodies....

 

My thoughts, EXACTLY!!

can't wait to see a giant tube of testors glue and paint...and of course the giant thumbprint on the windshield that I always managed to put on mind when I was a kid

 

I think I made a sticky mess in me pants!!!
That is just ****IN' stunning, Love that small block so much detail.
The more I look the MORE I see, just so much to take in!

Wow, I wish I had the talent that Troy has in his little finger! Damnit!

 

My little finger is not very talented...plus I hit it with the hammer allot!

 

All I want to know is How can I get you to let me take a peek at the Hirohata T-Bird you sly dog you. Is there going to be a HHR open house for GNRS?

 

some of us do baskets,some of us do models j/k don't know if my old hand will let me do models much longer tho

 

good, i was thinking that would look cool

I KNOW THIS HAS COME UP ON HERE BEFORE...

 

The only thing that would make that any sillier would be a bunch of dudes with Sawzalls cutting those pieces out instead of a giant Xacto knife...

Troy is having 144 limited Edition "Black Widow" Tee made for GNRS... they will be available at the HOLLYWOOD HOT RODS Booth..

I think there pretty kick ***...

 

So Piero you are saying if I buy a shirt I have a one 1 in 144 chance of winning the real thing? Oh that's not what you said! Oh well kick*** car and kick*** shirts...

 

I thought the same thing.LMAO

 

Of course I built the model too, and Big T too-and they never left my brain until I saw my T for sale on a car lot - 6 years ago - I always wonder if the model was ever built and when I heard about this - well I just couldn't be happier - please more pics - many thanks to the people behind the build.

 

Thank you guys for all the great responses...I really appreciate it!!! We are in the middle of the last minute thrash, and all that positive re-inforcement really helps the morale! Thank you.

The owner was especially excited that Von Franco & Moriarity responded to the post!

The display is going to be a little different then tubes of glue & paint brushes... the owner had a 1:1 version of the counter top display that Monogram gave to the toy stores built. Also there is an exploded view of the car and all the parts in the original instructions that will be 1:1, as well as the box top. Should be really cool since the toy store display scales out to about 7ft tall! I have yet to see everything together.

AMBR...SHHMM-AMBR, its about the HAMBR!

 

Man this is too cool!!!! Gonna be some great cars in the compe***ion this year

Whatever happens yall definalty nailed this one

Awesome work
