Randy,

Now that is just a perfect example :)F C:roll:lors working together.

Bob...that is real smooooooooooooooth...zilla

Randy, I notice one small flaw in your work. The cars don't end up at my place!!! You are the hit man - the hits just keep on coming! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Randy, you should call that '57 "The Intimidator" I wouldn't step foot on the track against that one! Bad look'in car! I mean that in a good way!:thumbsup:

As much as I like yellow, this 57 T-Bird is one ugly duckling in my opinion. This one came out the 2 car set along with the purple 57 Chevy. I'm gonna have to at least change the wheels on her...RM

is that a tyco?

Yep, it's a TYCO. This one came in the TYCO twin pack with the purple 57. Package was dated 1999, has a 440X2 chassis...I got a spare new one, no mileage. Any offers, pm me if interested??? RM

were the rear wells hogged out?

No, This is the way it came out of the package. Hasn't been touched...RM

it could look cool on one of those first Mattel Chassis with the oversized rims.
Maybe some AFX specialty rears?

it's fugly... but I know you'll do something with it that will make us all drool in evny.

Randy!!!! SLOW DOWN......you're making me headspin wiff all dem cars you putting out:freak::freak:

GReat looking 57

Would have to agree with Win. I don't have enough time to do a custom each day. ;) If I'm lucky and in the mood, I might pump out two or three a month. :eek: rr

Hill!

it would be cool with flares to help hide the oversize wheel wells.

The boys finally got the wheels changed out. Not much grip, but they do run smoother than 3RWobblers. Done a little rework on the hood, added a big feather on the back for dusting the opponents. Added some external brakes, and a walking pole for stability. That's about it, oh I shaved the pointed front fenders a few thousands and light wash on the grill for a little depth. I wish the stickers had a little more pop, but I can live with it...RM

Well,,
It's been awhile since anything come out of the shop around here.. Finallly made some headway..
The old shop isn't really accessable.. Too much junk piled up around it so had to run these down to the old station for some camera time...
Thanks to Bill Hall for the Hotrod and the inspiration to get off my butt and finish it.. Hilltop for the wheel ideas... and of course tutone paint..
Chris..

That is one good looking Hot Rod :thumbsup::thumbsup:, Yea, I like those HW 5spokes. Likes the lowered Su-burb too!!! You must have bought the large can :p:p. A combo package always looks good with the same color scheme, gives it that high dollar, I ain't playing look...RM

Slotcarman,

You crack me up. Tattoo too sounds like the guy who says, "The Plane, The Plane". lol I know you are talking about the flying eye but, it just tickled my funny bone that you and Chris both had Matching Tattoos.:lol:

Bob...Nebrasky people have a sense of humor too (or is that also?)...zilla

Thanks Guys!
Glad you like em..:)
Uh ,, Bob.... the eyeball on the truck matches my tat on my rt arm :cool:. :wave:.... have to show ya next time I'm out there.. :rolleyes:

The 55 Bowtie Power Tour stopped by the track this past weekend. A lot of the local 55 guys brought their cars out for the event as well. Everyone seemed to have a great time checking out the cars. The Hot Rod Power Tour shouldn't be too far way, I'll have to check the dates...RM

Bob...loves 55s...zilla

Randy,In the movie"TORA,TORA,TORA"Admiral Yamamoto said of their invasionI I AM AFRAID WE HAVE AWOKEN A SLEEPING GIANT".Well you just woke up Guliver.

Your 55s are fifties-fab, Randy!:thumbsup:
They are simply incredible, but the orange and yellow really grabs me.

It is easy to tell the trailer queens from your custom street pounders, even if you had not made them park in their own row. hehe!

Randy,
Great looking 55s! Some sweet color combos on those paint jobs. Would agree with joez, that yellow and orange two tone is sweet! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Holy double nickles, batman!!!! Now I know whan win43 means when he says "the colors!! :wave: " I feel like a kid in Baskin Robbins trying to pick my favorite flavor... The green/black, red/black, the red/black w/blower, and the two tone green would have to be my picks of the bunch, but they all look great!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Guliver, You remind me of that famous boat, lets see, what was the name of it??? Oh yea, the Tomtanic...You need me to send you an alarm clock??? RM

Sammy Hagar, who says "I can't drive 55"? I'd driv'em all. WOW! What a super line-up Randy. I'd put my bid in for the two-tone green as well, but only if I was forced to choose. They're all top shelf.

News Flash!!!!!!!!!!!
Emergency phone lines have lit up the switchboard in the little town of Tottenville,N.Y.Reports of a man driving a Ford Aurora 65 Mustang speeding through town yelling "The Chevy's are coming,the Chevy's are coming"startled the residents.When the local Police caught up with the driver of the vehicle at the towns only store,Hooters,he was identified as Bob"Tonto"Beers.Tonto aka Mr.Aurora claims to have seen an incredible amount of 55 Chevy's gathering on the highways and byways heading towards Tottenville.He also stated to have seen them coming by rail,sea and air.Upon further investigation it was learned that they were headed towards the BelAir Garage.Police approached the owner of the shop ,one Tom Stumpf,with caution as he was eating one of Chris Sklenar's apple pies.Mr S. told an incredible story of his rise to the top of the HO 55 Chevy collector.Tere was an unprovoked attack by the owner of the Hilltop Garage to take over the Throne.THE NAME RANDY MATLOCK.Don't forget it.Pearl Harbor comes to mind.The call went out to all former and current owners of 55 Chevy's that have graced the BelAir garage.We will spare no expence or loss of life to hold on to the Title.Pictures and updates to appear later.

Just catching up on my viewing pleasure & going to make a comment on the great builds, 57 Chevy & T-Bird then I noticed CJ53 Fantastic Suburban - Hot Rod Combo! Finally blown away, by the Amazing display of 55 Chevy’s!! WOW, double WOW!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: All the cars just look great!!
