The boys have been watching the Speed Channnel again. Started out going for the drag strip, but after watching the NTPA ( National Tractor Pullers Association) racing on TV, well you know how it is. This one's running the Mega G chassis, the knobby tires are a little slick for the road, need to find some dirt. I could still add a shute and some slicks for a Sunday race...Gotta thank Miller and US Tobbacco, for coming on board...RM

That was what I saw in my head, Randy...except for the big chromy engine, slick 2-tone paint and big Bitchin' rears!:thumbsup:

(notice how all of the spectators and crew are now hiding behind walls and trees, knolls and grass blades!)

I actually expected to see "Fear This!" scrawled across the tailgate!

Dang Randy, that awesomenarious truck is not only fantabulous looking, it also looks powerful enough to pull a Hutt of the couch! You just keep pushing the creativity envelope, Hilltopper! You've gotten to the point that normal words just won't convey the required meaning so I gotta start making up words.

I just took some styrene and made some pieces that would fit into the side chassis slot on the Mege G, then just glued in in place with JB Weld. Same type mounts as the Indy car body, it came with...RM

The boys decided to do a makeover on the purple 57. After removing the chrome bumpers, we sanded off the chrome molding, puttied up the Bel-Air fins, then resanded. Done a little detail work on the front and rear bumpers. Added a little black wash to the grill. I also blacked in behind the side pipes for a little less body notice. These are the same colors as used on the 56 Ford pu, I kinda like em...I need a new camera, this thing shows too much...RM

Randy, the color scheme is great and I really like the car with the molding removed - it gives the car cleaner lines. This is some fantastic work!

Randy,

The stripe is just zooming down the side splitting those greens on this 57 and all the Chome detail is what cars of the 50s got done up like back in the days (I know because, my Dads old car mags are mine now).

My Dad had a 56 Buick that was 3 tones of green. Man that was a Sweet ride with its' big white wall tires,red painted rims with full Stock hubcaps.

Bob...nice 50s era custom job...zilla

My personaal favorite Tri-Five Chebbie is the 55 but my next favorite is the 57 that utilized the 55's side trim. That version is just too clean! By 57 the car just got too much glitz for my tastes.

Very nice, Randy. You have a great eye for detail. The small subtle things that you add or take away from a particular job really bring it alive.:thumbsup:

How's about this cherry red with a little gunmetal grey. The boys were in a hurry to finish this one up. Shipped her out to TX for Coach's auction block this morning. These deadlines are killing me. It's another purple Tyco fresh out of the package, no mileage on the 4 dot widepan chassis (You listening Rich? ). I don't think the boys even started it up. It's been detailed front and rear. The paint should be dry, by the time it gets there. Hope you guys like it, so bid high for a worthy cause...RM
