Bill Hall................. has the # 8 ball

CJ53 ....................has the # 7 ball

Boss9...................has the Que ball (self supplied)

Bobhch.................has the #13 ball (me)

Note: To make this simple (I hope so!) just put what # you want on this thread...first come first serve. If we get more than 16 people involved in this we can start all over again with new #s ...that would be great.

If by some wild chance the stickers run out.....then the Charity Auction is going to be full of slot bodies. I can't afford to order any more decals as they are $5.00 for 20.

I am donating all of these. Amy wants some Die Cast cars made up (by me) as she likes my pics of some custom cars I sent her. Still will have to pay some money out of my pocket in the end for a few of these decals and postage to mail these "Decals" to you is on me folks. This is my contribution to the Peace Players Auction. Coach will refund Shipping for items shipped out by you.....This stops the double shipping. You will just mail out to winner of Auction and will be contacted by Coach or one of his Helpers.

I am also going to do up a custom slot car (Coach has another thread about this Contest) for the Auction Contest and donate that. also. C'Mon everyone you can do both....it will be fun. You don't have to build the most complicated Pool Ball themed body if you don't have lots of time, just make it look nice. Something you would want to keep for yourself....sorry but, you gotta send it to some one eventually.

E-Mail me at bobhch@cox.net with your POOL BALL # choice, name, and Adress please so I can get these ready to ship out after everyone has made there choices.

More on next Post.....please read, Thanks, Bob

O.K. Here is the list so far. If you want to do this just click Quote at the bottom of this post and then add your user name and ball choice PLEASE! :wave:

O.K. Here is the list so far. If you want to do this just click Quote at the bottom of this post and then add your user name and ball choice PLEASE! :wave:

Wes.....................has the #13 ball (Lucky # 13) lol

Bill Hall................. has the # 8 ball (corner pocket)

CJ53 ....................has the # 7 ball (eight...Nine..yummy!)

sethndaddy...........has the #6 ball (daddy "0")

Coach61...............has the #5 ball (#5 is alive)

Joez834...............has the #4 ball (da purple one)

Bobhch.................has the #3 ball (3@me.com)

fastlap..................has the #1 ball (I'll take the #1 with Onion Rings please!)

Boss9...................has the Cue ball (self supplied)



IMPORTANT!!!! These are not backed with white so, Everything that is white on the balls will be clear. Just put on a white car or over a white Meatball....or a white stripe, or possibly paint white (last resort)....sorry but, Amy does not have a printer that prints out white.

I ask everyone to please either use Future or Spray Clear Coat on these to seal the decals....these babys will fall off if not sealed....this is a good time for some people here to discover how great Future really is :roll: . Just be carefull not to crinkle water decals with Clear Coat. A light spray of Hobby store decal brand the first coat and then let dry....this keeps the decals from getting all wrinkled and will set them up for the second coat via light first coat.

Does Decal Set work like Clear Coat...will that keep decals down...never used it????? Would like to here from some one who does use decal set Please.

If you have any questions about the White Issues feel free to ask here or for that matter any questions about any of this.

I have purchased 60...... 8 balls so, everyone will get some of those for sure!

Thanks Everyone, Bob...zilla

Thanks, Ed, Dave, Bill, Chris, Phil, Wes, Joez, Gary! You are all cool Pool Shark Dudes now... :dude:

Does Decal Set work like Clear Coat...will that keep decals down...never used it????? Would like to here from some one who does use decal set Please.

NO, Decacl Set, Does not seal decals, it softens them so they will contour over body curves and lines. I used it alot when building 1/25 scale. However, If someone has something as good I think we should hear about it.
Chris

Wow! thanks Bob! way to get the party rolling! I'll take #5 and get building....I am going to do 2-3 diffrent cars this time around so one Pool Party car for sure..lol.. thanks bob what a great idea and genrous offer.....

Hi gary,

The cars will be part of the HOHT auction system. we do this 2-3 times a year to raise funds for various charities. Last April was the very first HOHT auction and we raised 1,000.00 for the american heart and stroke foundation. In Novemeber you may recall we did the American Cancer Society auction, when the dust had settled from it we had raised 2,215 dollors for them. The next Auaction which the pool party cars and a others will be used to raise money for the first HOHT Basketball tournement for Peace Players international. If you have not seen what this orginization does yet have a look at them. further Information is avaliable on http://www.hoht.net this page also lists our sponsers including Dash Motorsports, Slot Car Johnnies, Neils Wheels, coachwerks, Target, Yogga Mammas, and a few more I am currently negotionaing with for web throughput. ( we used a LOT last time lol). Hope ya join us in this its a good thing and I have enjoyed some great help from the Hobbytalk gang.


Dave

I'll be doing a resin Can-Am. This will work great.

Dave

OK Dave,

Which one do I make a mold for first? The Ferrari, or the Ferrari???? :jest: It will mount to a Tyco Pan without modification to the chassis. I have the feeling I will include the chassis and detail the car out. This way I will be sure all fits OK for a custom.

Which one everyone????

Gary these are both tooooo cool. Great sectioning!

Do both. LOL.

I'd have to flip a coin.

Everyone just post the pics of your cars here when done. Then we can just click and save pics from here...easy huh! To save on double shipping cost (Just keep your car during the Auction!) we just ask that you ship out your car and your shipping will be refunded to you.

I just need you to E-Mail me your address to get the pool balls to your door. So far I just need Boss to E-Mail me his address.

Thanks Coach for jumping in and linking the Auction site. This is so easy to make a Huge Help by just getting the gang together and pitching in. You don't have to be a Rocket Scientist to put on Water Decals. From Mild to Wild.....All Pool Ball bodies are Welcome here!

Thanks everyone for doing this, Bob...zilla

There are still 7 ball #s left so, if anyone wants in c'mon down! I will have some Pool Balls left after all 15 #s have been taken but, will not gaurantee which #s anyone will get after these 7 #s are claimed.

Gary,
Go ahead and do the Ferrari. :freak:

rr

Gary,
Go ahead and do the Ferrari. :freak:

rr

OK, I'll do the Ferrari :cool:

Seriously, I am going to do the 612P first. Mostly becasue I can detail the snot out of it. Engine with injector velocity stackes, rollbar, driver (hope to get a more 3-D drivere in that cockpit), rear wing, etc. The 312PB is cool, but the engine on the real car is closed in.

Taking suggestions for the paint color. I have the #1 ball (yellow). What color will look the best with that ball? I'm thinking Red or Orange. OR....maybe a middle Blue and I can use some Sunoco decals on it? That Ferrari maybe/almost looks like a Lola..... :lol:

OK, this weekend when I'm doing some last minute shopping, I will stop by the Hobby Lobby so I can try to find some detailing stuff for the engine. I already have an idea for resin wheel inserts.... :cool:

Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

Bob,
Sent you a PM in regards to the remaining numbers.
Gar

There are still 5 ball #s left so, if anyone wants in c'mon down! I will have some Pool Balls left after all 15 #s have been taken but, will not gaurantee which #s anyone will get after these 5 #s are claimed. Well fastlap (Gary) does have dibs on the #11 when it comes back around.

Oh Boy! Another Pool Ball gone...who will be next?

Bob...zilla

OK, I went in a totally different direction with the CanAm bodies. I decided on the McLaren. I have already posted (orange) the pic of the sectioned M8B. Here is the re-mastered M8B in it's first resin pour. The lower sides are more accurate as is the nose. I will pour a few of these (this one is good) and start the process of mounting them to the chassis they will come with. Have to get all the materials to make the rollbar, injector stacks, mirrors, driver head, etc. Just to wet your appetites alittle. I'm such a tease!!

Merry Christmas.

Update:

All the Pool Balls have been mailed out to Everyone! A few of you will be getting the Monsters you wanted also.

Joez...you better save your stamp because I picked it out just for you.

I have enough Pool Balls left to do one more round of NUMBERS! Have 4 of each Pool balls left and this will be on a first come first serve basis until they are all gone. You can choose the Pool Ball Number (4 will be sent...don't have to use all 4) you want to use for the body/body & chassis you will be donating and then one more set of 4 numbers will be given to you for your own personal use.

The deadline for getting these pool balls will be Saturday January 5th of 2008. Unless there are any left over and you beg me...har!

Thanks to all of you that put in your orders for these already! This is going to be Fun!

After a few dayz in pinesol my "Car Pool" needed some serious hand filing to repair some major anti aircraft damage. She looked like she had been on the losing end of an encounter with Bob's Baron Buggy.

First order of business was to fill the craters from the bottm side. After a few days to cure all the "through and throughs" were filled as well as the windsheild slot and the weirdo hood vent.

Currently rough profiled in 320, I havent decided on open side or fills for the hood sides. So they are still in their factory lump form.

I did decide on a brass drop spindle shenanigan for the front axle. In the intrest of staying in the period the old school Vibe wheels were chosen for their rugged vintage look. Front wheels have been bored for a bushing insert and spin up like "perpetual motion" now.

Next up is the front frame rails and radius rods so I can establish a ride height.

I like Bills car already!!! Neat-o yellow Aurora rims and a fancy drop axle...Sweet mother of ball breaking pool sharks.

Pool Balls are in the mail and you all should be getting them by Wed or Thurs.

Happy New Year baby, Bob...zilla

Cool Zilla, I'm a sucker for the 30's 40's and 50's cars...so under represented in our hobby. Looks like all that BS about having to get rollin was a smoke screen!...you appear to have a pretty good start going...ya wiley devil.

Looks like you need white goop too! ....so why am I sending you the emergency batch in red?

Spy pics ?...I got spy pics! Maybe get some up tonight. Had some pute troubles yesterday and had to doosh out the keyboard, egg yolk, peanutbutter toast, donuts and coffee...my moose pad went all Kerflunky 'til it dried out. Couldnt load pics using the external moose cuz it's a 1 bung laptop and I dont have a threeway USB doohickey yet...didnt need one til yesterday!

Got the grandyuns running amok this weekend to so were bashin' cars not building them.

Bill,

First of all..."red goop is just because it is my favorite color"...LOL ;) actualy I only have Red left and my White is just a tiny bit of slosh...oh dang! If I only had more time....would have every color goop in nice jars marked with real nice labels (some day)

Drew this picture up a while back at work (yes got paid to do it) and Just took this Resin body out last night and Super Glued the post on. Woke up this morning and Gooped things up and trimmed for the headers and removed the headlights. This thing is practicaly putting itself together....SO MUCH FUN!

Now it is in the 40s and the heater is in the garage warming things up. Going to give this a nice coat of White within' the hour. :woohoo:

The The top will get a red paint treatment after the White dries...den the decals and some clear coat. This is such a FUN build! Giving this to the Auction has gotten easier after meeting everyone here on HT. Good cause and it will go to a good home also.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah by, by cool car. :cry:

Bob...zilla

Here's some progress on the eight ball now that we're 'puting again.

Had to punt on the old school vibe wheels. Thought I had a complete/good set...WRONG! They were Mega Lumpy. So off in another direction we go.

Pic 1; Shows the new rear axle location to run fatty Ansens without goofy fender gaposis.

Pic 2; Topside look with the pinion plate removed for axle clearance. Probably gonna tub the magnet housing and cut the last mm of rim away to get things shoved in properly.

Pic 3; Gives an idea of the gearplate mods needed to jack the rear axle up.

Gear set was de-burred. Comm face was trued and took a few strokes off the gold grey T-jet arm for ballance. AFX standard mags, and the comm brushes are slotted. The entire gearset including rear axle and crown was lapped. She's nice and loose even with cranked up brush tension and a magnet upgrade.

Pic 4; Here's a mock up teaser with a grodey old Ansen and a Lowpro PVT Specialty tire.

Bein' as how the the rear vibe rims were gonged and the rear got Ansens so must the front.

The new front wheels were over bored to accept the same journal insert that had been fabbed for the vibe rims.

Dodged a minor bullet here, but still killed a set of perfectly good vibe rims that wont be used now. :rolleyes:

Now that the chassis is kinda sorted out and the body is headed in the right direction I can fire up the iron and work out the remaining front end parts.

Bill is an Alien from outer space because, not one human beeing on earth could build something like this.

The proof is in the pictures above. Welcome Spaceman Bill to our planet and nice work...Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Bob...zilla

Typical work in non typical form by extaordinary craftsmen.
You guys make me want to cry sometimes. :thumbsup:

You guys make me want to cry sometimes. :thumbsup:

Joez if you cry... :cry: I am gonna cry... :cry: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah baby cry over this...these are tears of Joy because even in January (Brrrrrrr) this body was able to get a bath in some gray primer,2 sealer coats of FLOQUIL Paint (with a mist coating of just paint thinner between coats) that dries fast in this 42 deg. weather via: the aid of a hair dryer and then 2 coats of House of Kolor White....Whew what a relief.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/aferdy1.jpg

This thing is now sitting in Limbo in the basement drying and waiting for its red top 2-tone paint job. Stripped the chrome off some Dash Sprint car headers and rear bumper (now a front bumper) and painted them up also.

Can't wait for the HOT Summer to get here.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Bob...zilla

Knew I couldnt go without a little tubbage on the rears. The big Ansen can be sucked right up to the rear frame rail, so I just got it over with. Just be careful not to snag the slot for the gear clamp with the stone on your way by. I use duct tape as a "no-fubar" guide. Plenty of clearance! LOL

The front chassis pan was cut away to make room so the brass front end can sit low enough. I left the guide pin relief and screw bracket for body mounting. The frame tubes are a tapered impingement fit into small holes that were drilled into the lower magnet housing boss. This registers the frame height. It is secured to the chassis and body using the small frame connector with mounting hole via the front screw.

Floating pick-ups are similar to the setup on my "Yellar" High Boy. For horse shoes and handgrenades it's basically the same car up except for the ride height and extended front end. Nearly identical to the old school wheelie pick ups, rather than kinking them to help produce a wheelie with over springing, they are kinked to keep the nose down with a slight under spring. This allows the guide pin to stay with the chassis by using a relief hole on the tie bracket between the shoes. Final tension adjustments are done at the shoe hook with track tests and by guess and by golly. To get everthing to settle down some pick up shoe "Z" bend was required due to the drop spindles and lower front axle height.

Magnets were changed to Super ll's. (Thanx Drag) The big Ansens didnt have quite the fry out of the turns that I like. She's got a little more squirt.

Now that I have the chassis built, the body will be altered to sit lower. There's a good half mile up front to play with. Once the body sits right the radius rods will be installed. After that it's back to the body shop to smooth things out and begin adding detail nick nacks. Final color will be.... ;)

where these cars supposed to be sent again?
