Using the back seat area for camping gear is an awesum idea. Looks great all dirty and mud splattered. Very Grungy looking...nice! :)
I built a Hooters Jeep on HT once and the gal I used for the driver had to have some lipo suction to her Super Hero Clix muscles via X-Acto knife after everyone told me she looked Butch. Aaaaaaaaaahh jeep building memories. lol
Bob...should have just used a Wonder Woman...zilla

At least the contingency decals are a single decal on this stocker. Doing some of the vintage stockers where each contingency sponsor is a separate decal gets to be a pain. :freak: rr

My Muffler is Stainless Steel so, it looks like I can afford more beer (not a heavy drinker but, it is getting hot now).
Those Keystone Beer decals also work for Mullet Beer roadrner. The Yellow "beer" gets cut off & then take the "Ullet" off of Silver Bullet and add the "M" from "Meyers".
Bob...just picked up some Busch Light to help my friend from work & me get the garage doors painted Satruday...zilla :freak:<---friend & me ---> :freak:

Wes,
Dare I say, HOOTER's Orange. :devil:
If I ever learn how to do good lighting it might look more like it does in person. ;) Dave
Hilltop Raceway 06-03-2009, 10:35 AM Almost missed this one!!! Looking good RR!!! You need to build a shop so I can keep up, maybe RRR - "Road Runner Re-creations" or "Road Runner Restorations", not to be confused with that other RRR...RM
tjd241 06-03-2009, 11:41 AM You need to build a shop so I can keep up, maybe RRR - "Road Runner Re-creations" or "Road Runner Restorations",

GOTTA have a " FREE BIRD SEED " sign with an arrow pointing down to a dish ! ! ! :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

Randy,
I am currently seeking odds and ends to outfit the shop so mine will look as half as good as yours and all the other's out there. Hope to begin building it this weekend. I will definitely consider stealing one of your name recommendations if you don't mind. I'm thinking the second one has nice ring to it. :) Dave
slotcarman12078 06-03-2009, 01:47 PM Nice birdy RR!!! Keystone sounds good right now!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Good luck with the new shop!!!
ED, them cars look kinda big!!! You sure they're HO?? :lol: Nice job on both cars, and glad to see you posting in the best thread on HT!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

resinmonger 06-04-2009, 08:00 PM Bob Zilla stikes again! I hope his creative juices never run dry! It is always great to see cars that break the mold of typical slot cars. Bob is like a sign beckoning us all to think outside the box! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
slotcarman12078 06-04-2009, 11:11 PM Agreed Russ, and there's nothing like having an unexpected box show up out of the blue!!! Those are the best kind of suprises!!! Nice job B...Z!!!!!

You are very welcome roadrner! This body casted up by Hellen has been sitting on my paint bench (Hellen had already painted the whole thing Orange for the base color ) in the garage for a long time and needed a good home.
I did try to be kinda sneaky and send you a couple pictures of each step of this paint job over several days to let you believe it was still in the works, instead of in the mailbox headed for your place.
Doing this Nascar body up for a great fellow Hobby Talker like yourself was a blast which, at the same time, also embeded a few BOING Bright color ideas into my brain along the way.
Sprayed the Neon Pink first over the yellow sides which gave it a not so Boingy brightness. Then went back and hit it with a white. Then a final Phsssht with a coat of Neon Pink to POP the pink and blend it in with the orange around the top edges.
Bob...Live to paint yet another day...zilla
roadrner 06-05-2009, 07:19 AM Great addition to my collection of customs sent to me from other HTBB members. Those are my true collectibles. Thanks again and yes, it's great to get a surprise anyday. :) Dave

bobhch 06-07-2009, 09:38 PM been awhile since i posted, here are some 1/32nd cars.
Ed,
Those 1/32 white Eldon and Blue Cox cars look great done up with those decals! :thumbsup: They handle just like T-Jets but, are just bigger....zoom, zoom baby!
I believe the white one is a 65 or something Dodge?
Bob...I recognize those...zilla

The green is a neat fine metalic that realy completes this 2 tone paint job. The pictures don't do this beauty justice.

Warhammer is the key word for these and many other decals. Also do a search for Warhammer bits and other bit Auctions. There is a bunch of useable stuff here for us slotters!!
And the price is right too...lots of decals for a great price! Check out the drooling ones also...yeah baby! With a little snip, snip here and there with all the different sheets Warhammer makes you could make some very unique decals with overlay and maybe some hand painting detail to tie them together also.

Just adding to my post what I did today thanks to you roadrner! Very inspirational build rr. Will post pics up of it mounted on a chassis soon. It is getting some rear AFX 4 gear sanded down slot rims and I am going to put some RRR front slots on it also.
Will have to dig through my bodies to find a couple of heads and then some decals maybe? I can put the decals on and then just hit them with a very dry brush (dip and tap almost all of the paint off) afterwards.
The front window was cut out of a JL Pullback Dodge (Fiat) Ram pickup truck & then used the Testors window maker stuff to hold it in and make the front side wing windows. In this picture the window maker is still wet and has not dried but, after an hour now it is all clear.
Bob...Buy plastic cars as they don't rust...zilla
