Thanks guys!!! I'll try and answer some of your questions:
RR, Do you have my address??? "No returns gaurenteed" policy!!!
Win, Local calls only.
RL, Automatic shop camera takes a picture at 10:10.
Bill & Yankee, The TM allows for playtime on good behavior.
Joez, Uh pushing the bar??? I'm just trying to climb over and keep up.
Sltman, Ideas come from other great customs here on Hobby Talk, Chat, Speed Channel, Car Shows, etc.
Sorry for the drool Wes, It was probably caused by the Mopar logo's.
Thanks again to all, for the kind words...RM

Me and my new painter are going to have a little chat. Not sure if I like his work or not. He got a little radical on this one. I started to have him strip it, but it kinda grows on you the more you look at it, it's different...RM

YEAH keep the painter! What Bill said... Shouldn't those guys be by the pop machine or something. Good thing you don't have a vending machine like we do in our shop. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm what do I want? Sometimes it can take what seems like forever to make that decision.

Bob...my thoughts are that the rear end has room for JASPER PoWeReD decal...just a thoght...zilla

Still trying to finish up some old projects. I decided to take a chance and cut the top. Also gonna give Binks, (my painter) another shot at it. This little Ford had some minor issues such as broken tail lights, chrome wear on the bumper, missing stacks, etc.

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/001-5.jpg


Tried some of Mr. Bill's liquid putty on the top and filled in the side stack holes.

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/007-7.jpg


After seeing RL's inspirational F150 "white angel", Binks decided we needed a "red devil".

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/038.jpg


I rolled the front pan, sanded the tail gate smooth with some inset tail lights. This F-150 is running an SG (does the SG stand for Super Gas ???) Tomy chassis. She's packed in there. I started to add chrome snaps to the bed cover, but I believe I like the black better. I also removed the wipers, side air vent, and gas spout.


http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/033-1.jpg


For engine ventilation, I added some sterling silver pipes.

Can you see the chop difference??? Thanks for looking...RM

Hello Red Devil!!!! :wave: Perfect execution on the chop, roll, and paint!!! She's a beauty, and I'm sure Bob...will need to change his shorts...Zilla will be drooling when he sees her! You know his weakness..:lol: :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Awesome truck, RM, the chopped top is Fantastic!!! The colour is perfect, as is the front row pan, rear tail lights & exhaust tips. The White Angel will have to borrow some styling tips from the your truck. Very nice job on lowering the body!! ..RL

Now that Randy is using goop we might as well pack it up and go home. Check out this perfect chop with finished seam work!

Great stance and finishing touches Randy.

Your a master of both the big and little details. ;)

Inspiring as always. :thumbsup:

I tried to chop one of these about 2 months ago on a crushed bod, just for practice.

Yeah, it didn't turn out too well.:rolleyes:

It's a beauty, Randy! :thumbsup:

This was the red Tyco Pinto in some of the earlier pictures. Just couldn't find a sponsor to work with me. Had to change colors and go with an old favorite...The engine was missing at the windshield so I filled in the gap with a little resin, changed the shute location, blacked the worn chrome bumpers...RM

I love this car. Personaly, I like anything but racing cars, I'm not very interested in "civilian" cars.

This one is really cool, agressive yellow, well choosed sponsors decals. Like the real thing.

BTW, do you run drag races ? here in france it's almost unknown (only few demo shows). Not as unknown as dirt late classes, dirt track, etc...but it's not too appreciated here. I think it's sad, I 've been able to see dragster prototype cars on a car show in france ("Mondial de l'automobile"), it's really impressive.
