This Friday is my belly button surgery

Finally getting one, having an extra removed, current one being enlarged/reduced???.. I'm concerned when any surgery is performed on one of our HT members... let alone on Bob...phssssschting all day...Zilla. What gives Bob? nd

Double ditto on the nurses KD is wishing upon you and triple for these sweet customs !!!!!!

They are going to install a Schrader valve directly into Bob's large intestine. This way he can attach his airbrush hose directly to a source of compressed gas and take his show on the road. Of course the downside is that it will be methane powered so there will be no smoking allowed.

I am simply stunned, Bob...didja mail it yet, didja? huh, didja?!...zilla!

The HOHT roadster body looks fantastic! I see it all gleamy and glinty in the sun!:thumbsup:
When we talked about this project, I said "sort of like this, if you can manage it..."
I never thought you would be able to NAIL it! WOW! :thumbsup:
Thank you so much for your efforts, Bob! it has been well worth the wait. :)
The fabled #9 is finally going to see the track! WooHOO!

Your latest rendition of the Shadow is off the chain, brother! Had Aurora produced that piece, I'd have several, I am sure. What a beauty!

The new 55 is slick, hey! The color fits the body and the "ghost decals" are a sweet trick in my book. Tom is a lucky guy in adding that one to his stable.. LOL

You and Fletcher make a fantastic team, ya know that? The Indy looks great!
It is so cool seeing a father-son team crank out sweet customs. When does Fletcher get to run the Airbrush, brother? Heh!

Fantastic work, simply fantastic!

hahhahahaha...no Bill the operation isn't to install a Schrader valve...hahahhaah now that is funny.

Have no fear Nuther Dave, I'm just getting my belly button Hernia fixed...simple simon operation.

It is just like getting a hair cut. I go in Friday morning at 6:30 am. Under the knife at 8:00 am, 45 min operation and then 1 hour rest afterwards and then go home with my loving and caring wife Ginger who took the day off from work to be with me in my time of need. I'm very lucky to have her. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Joez,

Glad you like the way it came out. Will mail it off as soon as it dries completly. Just a little longer man.......................a little more.............just a little more.............................................a n-tis-the-pation......it's making me way, way,way, waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. It is going to look even Kewler with a chassis under it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob...Maybee Ginger will give me a sponge bath :D...zilla

Brings new meaning to the "Flame Job" now doesn't it??... nd

BTW: Bob... getting his innie taken outtie...Zilla , You should be able to get away with at least a couple days of curbside service from the TM for this one. I'd ham it up if I was you and see how far this operation will carry ya. Don't happen often that the shoe gets onto the other foot, so get the attention while the gettin is good!!!! May I suggest a small silver bell??...

For Example: ting-a ting ting.... "Honey, I'm a little thirsty and my incision kinda hurts... can you get me a soda please? I'm all the way down here in the slot cave and it's so far away."

Great, I get the "REAR END" car, nice homage to the starter of the thread. Now you better get that retarded belly button to work and pop me out some kinda flamed car like that hot rod.
Give Ginger a rest, Coach can come over and spongebath ya.

Get well soon, Bob. Hell, with thanksgiving coming up, you could install a tap in the belly button so when you fill up on the deliciousness, you can just go empty out and go for twosies!

Got to meet with CJ today at the truck stop and handed off his Iron Crossed Smasher Mercury before these guys with the Axes got ahold of it.

These both got to slide around in the corners on Las Zillas Speedway earlier today. Have one more rusted sled waiting for it's turn. You can never have enough Mercs.

Howdy: I just finished this up this weekend and thought you guys might like a look at it. I made it from a AMT Model kit the " Digger" Dragster kit. Mounted on a DRS frame kit I built , it has a grp. 20 motor with quad magnets and sonic gears , Pro Track tires . The color is krylon sun yellow. I just wish i had a plce to race the darn thing. Our last drag strip closed 14 months ago and I keep hoping someone else will open a track for us to play on soon. I know most of you guys are HO but I enjoy all 3 scales and work on Ho cars more than I do the big stuff.
Enjoy Clyde-0-Mitehttp://Stardust Dragster

clydeomite,

Hey I love looking at all scales of slot cars. I just can't see the picture. Dang :cry:

Have been working on this K9 Police dune buggy on and off for a while now.
The German Shepard looks pretty mean eh? You should have seen him before.
He was a black wolf. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr get em boy. :mad:

I think all police officers should have Police dogs with them. Gives a new meaning to help take a bite out of crime. :beatdeadhorse: If you can't beat em' then bite em'.

Bob...don't do the crime if you can't face the K-9...zillla

Obviously, this officer is a supporter of D.A.R.E. (Donuts are routinely eaten) :lol: Nice K-9 unit there Mr. Bob.. woof woof... Zilla!! You need to get yer belly button operated on more often if you're gonna produce gems like this while you're "recuperating". :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Clyde, that dragster is slick looking!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

and a State Pooper!

Do the Troopers have to carry sandwich bags on their utility belts?

...or do they have to call for back up and a bio-hazard clean up detail?

Well on the way to the DONUT shop this morning I found this Scooby Doo book for our kids :rolleyes: at a garage sale. Kewl beans!

Mr. Randy the Hilltop racing guy had sent me a few resin bodies in a trade and this Jag was one of them. Finaly had the time to do it up so, here she sits in Candy Apple Red over a Gold Metalic base coat.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcal4.jpg

...SCOOBY DOOBY DOO!...ZOINKS & RUH-0H!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcal5.jpg

Thanks Randy as this body looks good from any angle you set it at. The tires and rims are RRR skinneys all the way around to give it a nice road racer look.

Also opened up the rear window a bit more so, I could see all the loosers behind me at an easy glance. :eek:

I gooped the front window glass in place. It came from a HotWheels car (don't remember which one) and then used some Testors clear window maker around the edges to finish it off. The rear window is a clear piece of flat lexan gooped in the same way.

The decals got set with Microsol to hold them in place before dipping the whole body in Future for 35 seconds and then pulling it out. Shake, shake and then let it sit ontop off its Poster Puttied topped pencil in a hole in a stagging cardboard box I have for drying.

When I first came here and tried dipping a body with lots of decals on it in Future Floor covering it was a disaster. I didn't know about Microsol decal set and all my decals were floating in my ziplock tub of Future. The ones that didn't come off had moved from thier original placement ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

The BONUS about using Microsol is that it softens the decals and you can get them to fit over uneven surfaces and into cracks with a little work and time spent. Gives it that painted on look or wrapper effect.

Bob...I dipped it ND...zilla

I took a body from the S'cool bus and had to chop it up to fit a regular afx lighted car. painted it red, used some paint masks for the flames, them hit it with a little orange and black.
Need finishing touches yet, but I wanted to post it.

I make them by cutting up an old "E" (#1) string from a guitar. Use a new #11 Xacto blade tip to drill a little hole, a dab of super glue and that's it. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

That can be painful if you grab the car the wrong way!! :lol: I use really fine fiber optic for antennae and flag poles, like on the Doba Deckert Ring mascot mobile. Nice and flexible, and it pops back in shape if it gets bent..
