Thanks,, but I can't take credit for the firebird wrecker.. NOT one of my creations.. Gearbuster built that for the HOHT auction, I was the lucky winner!! It is a well done piece, permanent resident in my collection..

Poiple has always been one of my favs! I have a factory purple henry which is quite nice, BUT the dark purple you chose is really sinister looking!

Great stuff Ceej, always nice to see you get into yer cave!

For the record guyz, I believe that Hotrod is actually a modified ultra rare model murdering edition roadster hiding under a purple hat. Factory records indicate that this particular tub was #9 of the original HOHT roadsters that escaped the final production process due to some technical difficulties.

#10: is secreted somewheres in New England, #11: resides in a shoe box here in the cave, #12: whereabouts unknown.

Shown below is her twin C-113 #2, now residing up the peninsula at Win43's house.

Great looking Coupe, CJ! I Love the whole package! :thumbsup:
...but I am a bit confused. If that was one of the original HOHT Roadsters, where the heck are to hood-sides?

I know that Bill went to great pains in filling in the original Aurora body sides and that was how they were cast.

(Oh...and #12? That one is mine. It is currently visiting Nebraska at Bob...gonna shoot some flames on that sucker...Zilla's house. :D )

By the time the Mullet boyz get down to Cornville they'll be so liquored up they wont be able to make it up yer sidewalk...just shoot'em from yer porch and drop'em right in yer front yard. :tongue:

Yeah Joez!

I remembered it was in the land of ten-thousand lakes a while after I posted. It was on a dropaxle and due to time constraints also eluded final production.

Never did check to see how that fit on a slimmy...especially now that I have the magnet trick...hmmmmmmmm? Prolly too long but I'm gonna look anyway. :thumbsup:

Thanks Guys ,,
One more for the upcoming race should be coming off the bench here soon...
Bill, Those tires are doing good.. minor sidewall floppage from too many hard launches... (well sort of). The other side was actually loose almost to the tread area..

Well...
After 2 futile attempts to complete this car... (don't mess with TAN)..

Win sent me a turquoise Riv.. for my project... For the record... it started 20yrs ago.. when my Brother in law handed it to me and said "customize" it... that body dry rotted on the bench.. Bill Hall revitalized one and it shattered when it hit the carpet... both tan...
This one will be a shelf queen.. so the Cigar Box chassis is used .. wheels and tires replaced with tjet stockers... and Cadillac Pats' baby moons.. as Win suspected the 3 mm work great in this application..
Now it's off to Va.. where it will live for the rest of it's days... Finally..

She came out purdy CJ!!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

I've got a turq one I've been thinking about doing, but the rear wells were really butchered. I'm pretty sure I know the purple.. What are you using for the silver base?? It looks brighter than the silver I had. Just finished up the can so will be shopping for another..

Bill.
I cheated... I used a silver Sharpie... held it so as not to mark the body and just stroked the chrome back on the body.. The window molding took a couple of shots at different angles to get the coverage... Easier if you don't have the glass in like I did... DOH!
