There was probably done before , but here goes.

Here's a 32 Ford Coupe (Bud's HO) that I put some flame decals on and then gave it a bath in Future. Custom aluminum wheels and a back bumper from a Dash modified. :woohoo: :) :woohoo:

Now your talking... The first one has two other bodies custom fit for it. Hot rods and Fat Fenders always push my buttons.

Hilltop... are those Jada rims?
If they are, a AFX specialty silicone tire will fit on the rears.

great thread... great cars from everyone!

Lovin' the yellow BADMAN chevy and Jack's Hot rod.
Those JL t-buckets kits are an awsome source for custom parts.
Lots of bang for the buck

VJ, They may be the same as Jada. They cam on a diecast I picked up at Wal-Mart they were discontinuing. Packaged as "Blown" distributed by 1 BADDRIDE, www.1 BADDRIDE.com. The websight doesn't even show them.
The AFX specialty silicone tires will work...RM

Saw that one run.. I was really surprised... after reading about the slimlines and how they were good for cruising,, I was surprised to see this one lay it down on the strip...
Drag,, next time .. I am gonna angle the foam at the end of the shutdown so that one bounces in the slot box.!! :) jk

Well that helped me figure out what color to paint one of your Mopars. :)

Sorry guys, I ran out of yellow. Now trying to use up the old stuff. I had enough red/black combo paint to finish this one. Dupont mixed this up for me when I painted the 55. It's called "Half and Half", just pour it in your gun and watch the colors separate as you spray, it's amazing, check with your local dealer...RM

Fer now I guess I'll go with the Aurora HR. Yup diggem!... always have.:thumbsup:

I collect dead HR shells whenever possible and there's usually quite a few less than "minty" specimens to be had ...LOL.

I kinda pick through them and set the plums aside for resto and fiddle with them as I find time ... actually more like finding the coin for chrome.;)

The derelicts find their way under the knife pretty quick....but photoed is a coupla nice box stockers that were resurrected from one tangled Ebay tide pool. Also pic'ed is a very early "pre-goop" chop job with AFX fenders and grill. Albeit crude, this one sorta lit the fuse on my custom binge.

Most of the old dogs remember the "Orange Crush" coupe from a ways back. This car sports side hood fills, a relocated lid, hand cut Woody glass, home fabbed plastuct pipes, and the full side shaved-rear dropaxle chassis. This one also holds a special place in my heart because she wears my first successful styrene over spray cooked from a crappy ole AFX van. There's no clear or future on her... straight off the gun liquid plastic! The cat hair and dust arrived later.

Some of the installments to follow later will be a boring revisit for some of y'all; but for the new gang I thought I'd start somewhere close the beginning so I can keep it straight. One of those I had to tell ya THIS so I could tell ya THAT deals.:freak:
