Wes

Sweet!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks very much for your comments guys. Yes and yes Wes. Green wire armature Curvehugger, goes well!

Finally had some time to wrap this up......Enjoy! One of Bruce's bodies. :thumbsup: rr

She's a beaut RR!!! I'd like a double order of hot wings delivered pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Very ,very nice. The bright work along the sides came out really good. Well done! Love the Hooters decals. Hooray for Boobies!!!!!

rr,

Now that is a Kewl H:):)TERS Nomad!! You can never have enough Nomads to paint up. Bet after you painted it you even felt the loss. One less Nomad to paint up in the future, unless you bogarted a bunch of Nomads...then you will be O.K.

Those rims look very nice in white & make this thing look tough and 60s style baby!

If you ever FEEL the need to make another HOOTERS Nomad Tan and white works well with thier color scheme also. Just saying...

Bob...Always have several Hooters project on the bench...zilla

Bob...How low can you go?...zilla

Bill,

49 today. What a day to have a birthday on.

Dave

Not so...yer birthday was first!

More like....What a crappy thing to have happen on yer birthday.

Just for that I whipped out the Victrola spun the White Album.

Some of my favorite tracks are actually on the back sides.

41 yrs old and refuse to grow up Bill!!!!! Happy Birthday Omega!

Omega,
Next year is the big one! Happy Birthday!! :hat:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Happy birthday Omega!!! You can always be 49 again next year.. We won't remember!! :lol:

We won't remember!! :lol:

SCM,
Remember what?

How true. Thank God for paper and pen. :rolleyes: rr

I'm 45 and about to become a father for the first time... not planned. We tried for yrs and the doc told the wife it was a no go.... then after a few yrs of no protection.. BAM!

Needless to say, she's estactic and I'm freaked. I thought that all behind us.
Is 45 too old to be a first time Dad?

So much for early retirement.
Oh well, if I have a son, he'll be getting one hell of slot car collection.
If I have a daughter, I'll have to sell them off to pay for her dresses and ballet lessons
LOL!

Congratulations VJ!! I can tell you from first hand experience being a first time dad in your late 30's and 40's is a challenge. Kids require a ton of energy and we as "oldsters" tend to be running short of it! :lol: Like you I was blindsided with the news concerning my bundle of joy.. It wasn't supposed to be an feasible... He truly is a Mini-Me, attitude and all!! :D You'll do okay, I'm sure of it! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

P.S. If she comes out a she, she can always be a tomboy! ;)

Omega and Jimmy,

Happy Birthday and Congratulations.

Jimmy don't worry man. I am 45 also and have a 7 year old Daughter and an almost 6 year old son. Kids are so much fun!!:hat: Once you hold that baby you will have a special feeling that you have never felt before. :)

When they start learning to speak it is AWSUM how they start putting words and sentences together. They have no pre-concieved way of doing it which, leads to some very funny and new phrases that you have never heard before.

Bob...girl or boy it will be a joy...zilla

Omega and Jimmy,

"Put me on Daddy, put me back on!!!" Hold on, I'm coming!!!

Congratulations VJ and Happy Birthday to the O...RM

That's great, home grown baby sitters. We stopped at four, all boys. Thank God. ;) rr

"Put me on Daddy"

You have just been promoted to Father and Track Marshall At Large!!! nd

Congrats VJ!
I married late because I cared more about slot cars than women! :lol::lol:
We are hoping to start a family next year, I'll be 41.
You are not alone dude.

Rich

Congrats VJ, I had my first in 1973 I was 21, my 3rd and last 17 yrs ago this WED, I was 40. Its all good.

Just need to finish painting the chrome trim down one more side and she will be done. Needed a break for just a bit so, am posting up some pics of how it looks right now.

I am using SlotRod65.com DEAD END skull and cross bones decals on the hood and trunk but, will be putting LIVE END on the trunk just to mix it up a little with some of Robs newer letter decals. Most of the time both of these guys decals get used my builds together as they just compliment each other. Thanks Phred and Rob.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

This was sprayed in the Turnsignal orange over Testors Silve Chrome trim paint a long time ago. I have talked about this paint combo before but, just realized that the reason one comes out Metalic Orange and the other comes out a sweet Gold is because, one is a laquer and the other is a enamel. Duh :freak: Both of these Testors paints (bottle only) are a MUST SPRAY!!

Will finish this up with a few more decals and a rear plate & post pics of it after the Future clear coat dries. Will be painting the trim on the Black and Silver 55 soon...

Bob...Slacked on this one for a while but, now it is getting done...zilla

That's a sharp car Bob! I love the color. I have a Superbird that wants to look like that.:hat:

man i like the color!! i ll have to get myself one!!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Here's a pony car that one of our "Land HO scouts" found out in the boonies of the Pacific Northwest... We gave it our usual once over. Glassed up the bumper areas (cuz we ain't got no bumpers) and glassed in a chin spoiler. Ripped out the interior except for the driver side and covered the rest with a tonneau. The motorworks are snugged right up underneath that too! It's as low as we dared go!!.... Sure hope this fella gets it of the track before dark....didn't have no headlights either ;) nd

Nice job to the both of you I guess!!!! Is that fuel injection screen I see in the grill opening?? Sweet car!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

nd,

You know I am digging this Mustang! Red detail work is just great as it makes your eyes just bouce around looking all over at it...sweet!

Just like "Short Circuit" #5 is alive.

Bob...there is that nd steering wheel trick again...zilla

Zilla the color on the 55 is a stunner!!! tjd241 very nice job on the Stang. Frontal treatment gives it a tough look! I'm with Zilla on this one, decals and details really catch the eye. Well done!

"Mock up" of the green coupe. Not finished, but close!

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/coupe.jpg

kiwi,

Dang that is great work on that old Ford! That radiator adds amazing detail and realism to it.

Bob...hard to believe what detail can be done with an ho scale car...zilla

Oh my God, that motor is naked!!! :eek: I thought you was kiddin'!!!! That old Ford is looking sharp!!! The motor makes the package just scream!!! Zilla is right. It don't look HO scale!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob, sorry I missed it. That 55 is awesome!!! I'm still tinkering with my AB and actually got it to lay down a decent coat for once!! Still messing with it, and nothing worth showing from it. I'll mess with the big boy paints some day.. I'm just not ready yet! ;)

If you didn't know it, you would think this was a larger scale car...

Thanks Zilla that's the biggest compliment I think I could ever receive! And coming from some one as good as you are at building these little cars just reinforces to me I am doing something right. Thanks for the motivation and encouragement.

Cheers Dave.

Bob...Slacked on this one for a while but, now it is getting done...zilla

I likes that orange flavor Bob...you slacker...zilla!!! Nice work with the detail brush!!! Now, quit reading this and get busy building!!! RM

Zilla- Steady hand there with all that chrome over two layers of paint. Yikes, no coffee before that detail work!
TJD- Very nice work on the mustang. I'll have to bring some of my bumperless beauties back to life with this method vs. $5 for a replacement. The tonneau look works great too. The cigar boxes could benefit from those.
Kiwi- Sweet ride. Love those deep dish wheels. The green really goes well with chrome.
Jim

Not finished yet but ready to run.

It's not? Looks pretty good to me as it sits. Gonna have to find me one of these to customized. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Kinda what I thought too RR, looks finisihed to me. That bad boy is hugging the ground, even the driver has got a little attitude with the facial expression!!! Looking good Ebi :thumbsup::thumbsup:...RM

Nice Vette. Green is sharp for it too. nd

Double ditto what them guys said!!! Other than maybe a finish coat like future I can't see anything else to make it unfinished. Nice job!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
