Why didn't AW build em like this??? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: RM

My only thought to that Mr.Hilltop is that they realy don't care how many they sell. AW should just sell unpainted bodies.

Nice Job on the Yellow Charger rr.

Bob...another & another & another AW body to strip...zilla

My though exactly. Would save me alot of time stripping these things! :confused: rr

Hey guys,

Dont forget that Randy said, "to heck with trying to strip stubborn AW paint".
Hilltop now blows some primer down ...and goes to town.

Sounds like sacralidge...but ya cant argue with the results his guys get!

Maybe it's the lead in the paint that makes it so tough :confused: :devil: :tongue:

I don't know but if you want to kill a few days, take the dark blue AW 55 Suburban and strip it. :freak: rr

LMAO! I'm a member of that club.

Back when I ten or so I cut up this Aurora T-jet Willy's Gasser and Moonshine 1 was born. At the time we lived in Tennessee along Kingston Pike...famous for it's Moonshine days. Anyway, I cut the wheel wells off so as to accomodate the Huge Goodyear Knobbies(off of a Hot Wheels die cast car)...they are rubber. It has AJ's Aluminum rear rims and a 'Tuff Ones' rear axle as a front axle. It sits on a 'Tuff Ones' chassis with an 8.7 Ohm arm. I painted it(10 year old thickness!) Metallic Navy Blue, put some decals on it then clear coated it with Polyurethane...it's literally bulletproof! It's looked exactly the same for 28 years now. It handles like you'd expect it to handle...lousy" But, it's fun to drive...lay on the throttle and it fishtails right out the gate as it spins the tires. There is a noticeable 'whirring' sound coming from the knobbies as it rides along. My brother and I still do the Moonshine Run race up against the 1960 Fairlane Cop Car. When I want it to haul a$$ I replace the knobbies with Silicone covered foam tires...the front end jumps up and down then, but stays on with the long pin I use.

I know it's not a sweet custom, but when was the last time you saw a Moonshine buggy on someone's layout?

I think I remember the midnite blue metalic color in a small bottle of testors I used to have way back when. I used mine on a mustang fastback with hop up kit wheels and slicks. Long gone.

Well, I didn't want to do a pink hood so I just did a pink car. I believe Mopar called it Panther Pink. However, this is a little lighter. :rolleyes: Actually used the Exide pink from NASCAR. Enjoy. rr

If you got enough horses under the hood, you can run a pink car. MOPAR has always had the horses so panther pink, sublime green, etc are all good.:thumbsup:

Sweet pink looker there. :thumbsup:

Is that BMF on the headlights?

I think Pattos has a NAPCAR headlight set that would work for something like that also.

New bods look good with the the vintage colors yer shoot'n at 'em... Don't stop now RR. Hey... how about a family picture of all your recent ones?? nd

rr,

You really captured the look of Pink-tackulare, Pink-perfectly!

If Joez painted his track pink he could run pink cars and they could be all stealth like.

Bob...that is bright...zilla

Now that makes pink tolerable!!! Nice job RR!!! I agree a group shot would be cool!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

UtherJoe

That's Hot Pink!!! Several years ago, I remember a 1:1 paint on hotrods called a Pepto Bismo pink, that looks very close. Should be easy to keep up with on the track!!! Nice graffic and detail work!!! RM

Slotcarman , quit your job and do stand up will ya? Your toooo Funny LMAO !

Uther Joe,

You make me laugh...hahahaahhaahah :lol:

Bob...hahahahahaa...zilla

You know, now Joez will be begging you to do this in a custom for him.
(the pink panther car)

Finished one, screwed up the other. :rolleyes:rr

rr,

That looks great! Sorry to hear about Orangy. :cry:

Bob...One out of two ain't half bad...zilla

Better keep that hidden from Wes RR lol..


Nice work though.. should be fast enough to outrun him...


Coach!

Finished one, screwed up the other. :rolleyes:rr

Story of my life!

Nice ride OFD!

Great lookers, RR! ...and hell yes, I love the pink one!....:thumbsup:
...now if I could just find the Pink Panther like in SCM's pic!

Very nice, Bob!! :thumbsup: The ambulance quickly became my favorite, except for that finicky flasher on the roof! This one had me pulling my hair out, I had taken it apart so many times, I didn't think I'd ever get it together. This is equipped with LED head and tail lights and another finicky flasher. :freak: some day I'll make'em work!!


I tried to keep the original pic from Slotcarmar in this reply but I could not figure out how. I bought this a few years ago to promote my ice cream business. About 6 months ago I started a major conversion in which I had the tank removed and I put a ice cream kitchen in the back. I use it at art shows and festivals here in sunny Florida. And YES it is a blast to DRIVE!!!
Here is my 1:1

mmheyho,

Yeah it looks like a blast to drive...Sweeet! Look out for those New tiny Smart Cars...CRUSH....oooops sorry! Here this cone is on the house. :thumbsup:

Yeah UtherJoe is drooling right about now....ooooh pretty flashy lights...yeah

Bob...Get out of the way, Big Fire Truck coming through...zilla

I've been putting off getting another one. I have got the finicky flasher situation beat now. I'm thinking of a "ala zachbuff" (Bless his soul..He hasn't listed much on fleabay in a while) telesquirt with two roof beacons and flashing optic whip fired lights in the grill....oh, and the head and tail lights of course! That 1:1 icecream truck looks like a blaaaast to drive!!! It still have the siren???

UtherJoe

The truck does not have the siren;). That is usually the first question the police ask when they pull me over. I once got pulled over because the officer said the tag didn't match the description. I politely explained that I was in fact driving a red Ford truck.:rolleyes:---The lights work and it even has a "mars light" which is a super cool light that points forward and swivels around in a figure eight motion.

As a side note the truck is rated to carry 35,000 pounds.

Bob,
I hate those smart cars I must take one of them out of my wheel well a week.

If you guys make it to Gainesville sometime I'll take ya for a ride I am always looking for an excuse to take her out.

Beautiful set RR!!! Seeing them all together does make me want to do a set for myself!! If I buy cars in sets of 4 now I can make the kids run on an even playing field, but then they will be fighting over which color they want. i just can't win...:freak:
