I have been working on some projects .I am not doing any bodies for sale right now .Just playing with some projects and finishing some past stuff too!
I will do a few WILD customs only for the Autofest
First one


Semi Truck And a two car trailer .Both Truck and trailer powered by T-jet style chassis for extra power .Pin hole and metal plates on trailer to hold pins and traction magnets from the two slot cars on he back.

Here is the donor body .I took this photo from ebey as I did not take any pictures of mine till after I started chopping ,cutting and reforming.

See new pictures below

some changes already .On the back my poly jet racer and a tuned restoration of a real junker with 20 coats of paint when i got it.Now a sweet little tjet runner.

Glad to hear your feeling good. That will be a beauty! I like the scale of the truck too. Doesn't dwarf the tjets. Keep on keep'in on. :thumbsup:

Thanx I like the look now too.I cut the top off the trailer and trimed almost a 1/8 off the bottom too.The rig was to tall so off came the roof .getting the new roof ready to install . these mods made the scale look much better.I also filled the wheel wells with skirts to give it a more art deco look.

here is the start to another project for the fest .
The body is one of my resins (sorry none for sale) it uses a hot wheels metrorail for a donor for the glass,plastic chrome bumpers scoops and headers .This will run a custom brass tube chassis with a inline lifelife motor.this should be a light weight package. details to come.

A dead Hot wheels and a dead lifelike gave up their parts for a real frank-n-metro monster. Afx style rims .I will have to tub the rear to get the tires up under the body.

How about some creative use of super glue and quick set .I place tape over the top of the truck sprayed some fast set on the inside of the tape .Glued over that and quickly sprayed more fast set .instance roof. I will be putting on some super clay over that to add a nice curve to the roof. Also better picture of the chop top 33 willys delivery.

Now this pile of parts will be a drag car. It will pull the front tires on take off on the drag strip .Will pull about a scale foot or two then come down .Much like a real drag car. Cut down xtraction chassis .ft axle will attach to body. Notice the front rims in picture .One has been cut down already the other still has to be narrowed a bit. This wwill let the ft rims and tires tuck under the body nice for a very low ft end. A hinge on the rear axle will let the body move up and down..

My metro funny car is getting a automotive base coat/ clear coat by a buddy .picture of it will be coming.

This is a speed stear car with the nose cut down .Not sure what chassis i will run on this one. again sorry for the bad picture.http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/medium/sssslotss0009.JPG

Did you get your Opel GT to the dragstrip ?

Did you get your Opel GT to the dragstrip ?nope we will call it a long term project.

I found this 50 cent garbage truck at the dollar store .great plastic back ,die cast cab. When I saw it I thought .COE Waste removable truck. Out of the project box came one of my COE fire trucks.

Out came the razor saw and a few minutes later bed was fit.

http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/grabge0005.JPG

I opened up the side windows .I was going to paint the cab but the beige cab green bed and yellow rims kind of stuck on me so some black details later and a jl chassis nos truck rims and tires and its a runner.DONE! total time about 20 minutes!
