After Ice Skating lessons for Bree, picking up Gingers Bowling ball (my 14th Anniversary present to her) lunch and then Bowling at Thunder Lanes we finaly made it back to our driveway. I checked the mail and found this Chevy Chevette in a nice care package with another Chevette body & a dented Ford Galaxie. Oooooooooh thank you so much Greg Gipe!

My Dad still has the 1980 Silver Chevette (with the sport interior package) he got new back 29 years ago with 60,000 some miles on it. lol Why I don't know but, it is in Incredible shape as, he takes care of his stuff.

Greg I can't wait to Phsssssssssssssssssht this up silver and show him.

Bob...zilla

I need a chevette. My Wife and I both got one in 1980. Hers was white and mine was blue. To this day she still talks about that car. I hope Greg plans on selling some so I can pick up two.

Dave

the 57 chevy is finally done, and the most common afx car, the dime a dozen Porshe, done up in some cool colors.

The Hot Lava Special !!!... Funny build. It's a Tbird stocker body from Claus, sanded down and out to within an inch of it's life and then a JL fairlane roof sits on top. Thanks for posting that Bob... Ginger's bowling ball is named Homer.... Zilla. nd

Nice funky orange Mr Ed!!! Looks good on the Porsche! Is that a cage in that 57??? Lookin' good!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aacrincle1.jpg

That's a cool crackle job. Mine never turned out that good, even has a nice fade to it... Cool ragtop also...RM

P.S. Is the C...vette getting a blower???

Orange looks good on the Porsche!!! Looks like your running aftermarket headlights??? I likes the 57 hardtop!!! I've seen a couple of those done, just never got the courage to try it, maybe someday...RM

Cool crackle paint job!!! But the real winner is the flat black 'vertible!!! That looks fast sitting still!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great looking cars, Ed! :thumbsup:

I have had second thoughts. I will NOT be trying the roof swap between the classic chevs. I don't think I could pull it off so well.

Well...atleast I won't be trying it until my godson stomps on another 57 nomad and a 55 coupe!;)

Joez, its not that hard to do, i have low expectations for my customs, but they are always some of my favorites, even if they look like crap.

... Ginger's bowling ball is named Homer.... Zilla. nd

ROTFLMAO......THAT"S FUNNY

Great cars too

Ed,

Bob...who is Shirly...zilla

Looks good OFD...I like them old fords for some reason, should dig some out and redo them too...just added to my should do list...lol


Dave

Looking good RR!!! I like them AFX wheels on her, that's some good looking hogging. Put some narrowed AFX fronts on to match... I likes the red and white package...RM

That is a fun little Montgomery Motors Ford man. Don't you just love it when it just happens like this.

The little letter jog on the FORD name makes it even funner or is that more fun?

Bob...that ain't no Junker now...zilla

It's more funner, Bob!! LOL!! Lookin good RR.. I've been meaning to add a couple of them Fords to my project box... :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

They give and they give and they give. Nice one Double R :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

BTW... Nice deco's Snewb... I use a lot of large scale decals cut down myself. Sometimes even just little tiny portions of them.

Ed,

You know you are driving me nuts with this Ghost Rider roadster of yours. Man that is a great idea to give Bone Head a car to drive too.

:woohoo:I love your new avitar:woohoo:

By the looks of those rear whites you have been having way to much fun...Lucky!

Bob...My favorite Comic Book Hero of all times...zilla

That ain't no blower.... that's a soul catcher!!! Cool!!! :thumbsup: nd

Them panels look real good Hojo!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:Can't wait to get my shakey hands on one!! :lol:

It's been a crazy week due to the older of the temporary kids. He done evicted himself from our house and most of the week was spent running back and forth to his law guardian's office, moving his furniture out, cleaning up the mess he left the best we could and me moving my workshop back into the back room. It's slowly coming together, and just waiting on the postman to deliver the rest of my goodies. The potential for some serious lighting projects are right around the corner, so my fingers are crossed it all comes together.

http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/slotcarman12078/dbadb938.jpg

I did manage to put together a couple cars this week. Nothing fancy.

Slammed Dash 55 Chebby with Vincent wheels.. I can't call this done as I'm still tinkering with the thought of lighting it up. I just haven't come up with the taillight method yet...

http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/slotcarman12078/b1010b50.jpg

This AW Cougar was from a swap with Honda... I already had a lt.blue one, and had just scored a can of duplicolor bright aqua metallic. Shot it over a silver base coat. For some reason, my camera just doesn't like this color and always makes it look more blue than anything. While I was never much of a FoMoCo nut, this body style cougar was a favorite of mine... Especially the sequential taillights.... And yes, I'm working on a concept of lighting these and the JL chargers up too... Ya never know until ya try!! :freak: LOL

What's with all the cake in the containers hojohn??? LOL! Great way to keep your molds fresh...

Love the 55 Joe!

Great stance and the proportion on the Vincents is just right. FYI: Acrylic sticks come in more than clear! Ya could whittle those angular tail lights from red rod stock...or use several coats of dark candy red on the clear stock until it suited your needs.

I'm thinking the whittling route myself.. I have redish optic cable, but it ends up a pinkish color when illuminated. All good things take time, and I got a ton of good things in the works.. What is holding me back mostly is waiting on the equipment to get here. I'm trying to eliminate the sloppy, shakey hands syndrome mechanically. I sure do miss the fine control I used to posess in my fingers. I don't know which is worse... losing that or my close up vision.. I need l o n g e r arms...

Now you'er getting serious Sltman!!! I likes the 55, nice wheel choice. The Cougar looks good too, for a Ford. Put some of those smooth faced Buick taillights in the 55 or was that before your time??? A lighted 55 would be too cool. I know one old fart that would get all excited. I ain't gonna mention that his name is Tom Stum...RM

work bench present projects, thanks all.

Coach, that sweet ride will be running on a 4 gear afx., this was also taken the day before Ghost rider, made his presence known.

utherjoe,nice builds!i am toying around with a "secret project"right now,but it may take me a bit,as i have been dabbling in the 1/32 scale lately.

I see lots of projects in question!!! Just need a little finishing...RM

Well, she's getting a little closer to being finished. Maybe I'll get her wrapped up this weekend. Have some more detailing to do. At least she hasn't blown apart from the stripping that she's gone through. Calm down Wes. ;) Dave

Hey I just sent Wes the Sub Lime PT Cruiser that went bad on me. :freak:

Along with the Little Red Wagon and his Hurst Charger that went good....Wheeeeew!

Bob...They should have called it the TP Cruiser...zilla

Bob,
Think I'm gonna stick some chrome BMF on her and get out a new #11 XACTO blade and go to town. Funny how you run across a body to customize and decide you'll never do another one. :freak: Dave

:eek: You finished the Hurst charger without your camera and sent it:eek:to Wes with out posting pictures:eek:!!!!! What is this world coming to???? :eek:

Oh, and super job on the Tp cruiser RR!!! Looks great!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

SCM,

Wes,
Black bare metal foil (bmf) for this one. Get out a few toothpicks, qtips, burnishing tool (stolen from wife's fingernail repair kit- looks like a clear plastic rod with an angled piece of rubber on the tip like a pencil) and patience. Cut the bmf larger than the area you need to cover. Apply the foil starting from one side of the area and work down onto the surface towards the opposing side. Make sure to burnish around the side edges as you are progressing across the area being covered. The toothpick is a good tool for the edge work. Once the bmf has been applied, use the burnishing tool and/or qtips to smooth out the surface face and go around the edge once again with the toothpick. Once you're satisfied that it's laying on nice and tight, get the Xacto out with a NEW blade (#11), the start trimming off the excess using the mold line of the area you're covering. When I do a project that requires something like this, i'll usually take a couple nights applying the bmf. After about a hour of detailing with the stuff, you'll be ready to quit. So take your time, do it in phases and it won't drive you crazy. :freak: Dave
