How come all the shop mechanics look like Lone Ranger want-to-a-bees :)

Roger, I use a lot of light in the shop, therefore the guys wear sunglasses to cut down on the glare. If you had been paying close attention, you would have noticed the clock always shows the same time also. That is because the camera is set up on an automatic time frame sequence. Hope this helps...RM

Wow! Ya really flog that crew of yours Randy. Not only do you really crank out quantity; the amazing part is the top notch quality that flies out of your slot shop on a regular basis.

HR - good lord!!! :eek: :eek: awesome job man!! keep them coming!! i ll have to try 2 tone colors someday! do you use auto clearcoat or future?

Wes

Did not see this one coming at all... Nice Randy...Very Nice...nd

If you had been paying close attention

BTW: Now that you mention it, that garbage can is getting pretty full!! :D

HT,

This Vette looks great in green and gold with the Kodiac and Skoal sponsors!
SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY....Vroooom!

I was very excited to see what you would go with this vette, too, Randy.
For years mine languished as a lowly but convenient chassis container/protector in the bottom of my box. I thought it had so much potential but for the life of me, I couldn't see what it needed.
Now YOU come along with your star-made team of shop wizards and nail it!:thumbsup:
Wanna do another one? LOL j/k!

The boys appreciate all the great comments from you guys!!! It's been a little slow at the shop, so I decided to let the boys build their own ride. Donner truck is an old banged up 40 Ford Tyco truck. After stripping all the paint off (soaked it in Denatured alcohol, came off pretty good), the boys cut out the glass openings - front and sides, and opened up the hood for a, you guessed it, big block Muscle Machine engine. We're hoping to pick up sponsor and choose a color. Stay Tuned...RM

OOOH This is gonna be great! :thumbsup:

Looks like a GREAT start Randy.

We always need more cool trucks!

Good news, the boys picked up a sponsor, Phillips 66. Naturally we had to go with red. The boys were all excited about the finished product. The Muscle Machine engine dropped right in, bolted on some ProStreet wheels, added the MM wheelie bar to keep the front end down. Just something a little different ...RM

Randy,You're killing me.I better get busy.Tom

Randy,

What everyone else said....gotta get busy...aaaaaaaaaaaaaah how do yo do it?

I LOVE RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man you are on a dinner :roll: Big time.

Bob...zilla

Man, these garage scene before/after buildups are fantastic. The buildups themselves are spectacular, but the garage scene and people just makes the whole thing pop that much more. I keep thinking how awesome it would be if you (or somebody) had the time to do a buildup "Robot Chicken" style. For anyone who has never seen "Robot Chicken", it's stop-motion animation using action figures and whatnot and in my opinion is very funny.

Randy, what's the deal! Don't you even give these guys time for a beer?
They must have burned the midnight oil, the 1am oil, the 2am oil, the 3am oil....ect...and ya don't do that kind of work all juiced up! Give'm a raise! (and a beer)

Slick truck, Randy! :thumbsup:

Randy,
Great stuff!!! Those guys at the shop must be getting tired. WORK! WORK! WORK! But, boy do they get the work done. Better give them a raise so they don't leave and work elsewhere. Can't wait to see what they crank out next.

Hilltop, What you paying your guys? Just need to know what to offer them to work for me..LOL

Nice looking drag truck. Makes the old blue look great with the bars and blower. The red just gives it an extra pizzzazz..:thumbsup:
Dad, can I borrow the truck tonight???:woohoo:

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/DSC03011.jpg



Sha-Zammmm!!! :woohoo:

N I C E !! :cool:

The guys over at Bel Air Garage were taling about all the noise coming from the guys at Hilltop garage..

They had to come up with something

a small block 55 wouldn't do it

Maybe a big block 57 Vette could do it?

This would definitely do it.Blown and injected 38

More nice 55s Tom.

Tom, You trying to start a Shop War??? Very nice 55's, but I'm not going to show the pics to the boys, they just don't need the pressure. I like my shop to run smooth, nice try though, very nice!!! Keep the pics coming!!!...RM
P.S. Thanks again guys for the kind words. The boys appreciate em !!!

man, the work on this thread is INCREDIBLE!

Great bunch of cars guys...

Kinda like getting to a car show early and watching the field roll in.

This ol' chopper stopped by the shop the other day, he wanted to get his bike painted up to match his other ride. The boys haven't built any choppers, but what the heck, there's first time for every thing. I hope this works!!!...RM

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/DSC03026.jpg

I know this is not a slotcar, but I thought you guys might enjoy it. The boys finally got this thing torn apart. I've never seen so many parts!!! I hope they find a manual, to find out how to put this thing back together!!! Things I get into!!! ... RM

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/DSC03029.jpg

Sometimes you gotta have a little faith. The boys pulled it off as far as I'm concerned. Special thanks to Bob...I'm sending you a new customer...zilla for the bike!!! Paint is a dark red metalic, with gold trim. I may have to give the boys some time off. We're planning to go to the St. Louis slotcar show this weekend. Thanks for your patience, but I think I'll stick to slotcars...RM

Sweet bike! (how come it isn't Jasper powered? ):lol:

I really like how the bike turned out:thumbsup:

Where can you get one of those bikes?

Taz, Bob...zilla sent me that bike. He said he picked up at Wal-Mart last year around Easter. I was amazed at how many parts are in the thing, 12 plus 2 screws, that's 12 molds. Made in China of course, these were just a novelty item for the Easter basket I'm guessing...RM

Your bike paint job is very Kool.

Bob...zilla

HT - nice bike!!!!! bob did give me some and havent had time to work on them!! i am so jealous you have time to do it!!!! spring is coming means more house work around arggggghhh!!


Wes

They had to come up with something

Those 55's are hot....

Thanks guys for your patience with the bike build. The build also involved this AW panel truck. The panel was soaked overnight in denatured alcohol. The alcohol softened the paint enough that I could use a worn scotch scub pad, to remove the heavy stuff, thin a stiff toothbrush and alcochol to finish cleaning the paint off. The panel was dark blue, so you can still see the stains. AW paint is stubborn!!! Stay tuned...RM

As Paul Harvey would say, " Now you know the rest of the story". Both the panel and the bike were painted with the same colors. Metalic red and gold paints were used. I added some RRR wheels and tinted the glass black...RM

the truck looks great can you paint mine for me?

Great project, Randy! Color-matched bumps to boot! :thumbsup: (Ain't got enough beer in it though. :lol: )

Nice color combo Randy. Very classy!

Randy, your work is top notch! I can only dream of reaching such heights

Randy,

If I was single and that truck was a Woman a marriage proposal would be in order......I love it!

Two-Tone beauty man and the bike painted up as well to match just tops the wedding cake off.

Bob...I do...zilla

WOOHOO That's a mean truck!!!!

Well the guys down the street saw the Phillips 66 Drag truck, so they wanted their own truck. I think you call it competition!!! Anyways we rolled in another 40 Ford. Since the boys already have the specs on the last build, this one should go pretty good. RM
