Here's a quickie changeover. I ground out the AW mounts and put in some of my AFX mounts for an AFX chassis fit. While still being a Chevy fan, the Super lll Mustang is a good looking body. What the heck were they thinking by changing the mounts???:confused: I'm sure it didn't help with sales...

Added a few race decorations, just to change it up. Change is good or so they say...Amoco was planned for sponsorship, but backed out at last minute due to a space location conflict...A little ironic, RRR sponsoring Auto World, times are tough all over...RM

RRR is sponsoring AW? SWEET!

It is nice to see everyone playing nice together, right?

I think it looks fantastic, Randy! :thumbsup:


Will all of the SIII bodies fit the standard AFX chassis as the wheelbase goes?

Change is good. As far as rippin the guts outta her.... That's the way to go too I think. At least ya can get spare parts and other such frivolous things without having to buy another complete roller. :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

Nice STANG :thumbsup::thumbsup:

RRR sponsoring AW ..... now that's funny :lol:

is that an orange bad dawg vicky??

ahahahahha I couldn't figure what the heck that was. Was looking at the rear and thinking it was the front of a car untill reading this.

Randy does a Pinto that Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiips Big Time! Oooooh yeah baby!

Bob...that Hilltop Super III is super now...zilla

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

TG must be getting to you! :lol: I'd like to drive that one to the ranch.

Nice chassis swap!!!! I've been thinking about them boss mustangs myself. I just found out the wheelbases are close enough for an Xtraction chassis... Lookin' good!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks guys!!! I'm guessing they will Joez. I don't have many Super lll bodies. I've got the Monte Carlo and the wheelbase looks correct. I think just the body mount has a different location...RM

Yes, I have a friend who got a set of S3s and shaved the mounts off of all them to install SWB Tyco mounts. I think they are standard SWB. Great lookin stang Randy.

Rich :thumbsup:

Great Stang and thanks for showing us a new source for bodies!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ...RL

The boys finished up another strung out project. You may remember the Bad Dawg Trick Truck they cut in half and shortened. Didn't really know where I was going with it, but some things just have a way of working out. Plus Bruce give me a good deal on some blems...

Ended up making a cruiser out of it, nothing to radical this time, just short and sweet. The truck runs good with the AFX chassis, two tone paint, naturally, and some chrome LL wheels for a little pazazz...

I filled in the back tailgate area, added twin ventilation ports. Also recessed the tail lights...

Parts Pig started the trailer idea, so the boys got to thinking and one thing led to another. We ended up with a 5th wheel trailer for hauling those hot rods to the track. RM

Fantastic rig!
I am guessing that the trailer is scratch-built, yeah?
So tell us how it goes!

:lol: 2nd pick it went unnoticed... 3rd pic I saw the trailer pin and was expecting to see flames or smoke coming out of it in the next one!! :lol: Nice job with the tricky truck, and super job on the trailer!!! I'm guessing 1/2 bashed trailer 1/2 scratchbuilt.. We'll see where this goes!! Nice job! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

x 2! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thank you guys!!! For those interested, I left the post up a little just to arouse a little curiosity. I'll probably cut it down and make another bed cover for the back section or a solid cover for the whole bed. The trailer started out from some singles I picked up several years back. I cut the tongue off and glued the 2 together on an angle, and let those dry. I cut the front skirt from styrene. Also cut the front 1/2 round top plate from styrene. I clamped the skirt around a socket to keep a nice curve, then glued on top plate amd clamped those. After everything had dried overnight, I glued the side skirts to the trailers. The trailer portion could be made out of flat stryene also. Just use some small strips for fenders as well. To give the marker lights a little depth, I dotted on a black spot, then add a color dot. Toothpics work great for painting. The axels were made from brass tubing. This trailer would be too wide for most plastic tracks, but it's great for display...RM

I know what you mean Bill. :freak: Dave

Oh....I see the money I could have been saving with GICO on top of the Pepsi machine!!! LOL! Hipptops shop!!!! Laughed my butt off! Nice touch there.

The rig is drop dead amazing and I also wanted to say thumbs up on the red Stang...looks just right with it's racing livery!!!

I love coming over here and seeing what you guys do, such wonderful work! Keep it up!!!

That is friggin world class! Scratchbuilt too - couldn't be any nicer. Looks like high end D/C to me!

Thanks for a peep into the fabrication werks! They don't teach that in plastic shop 101.

Too Freakin' Cool for School!

Randy, you continue to simple amaze me! Rock on!

Russ the Droolin' Hutt :freak::hat:

Thanks guys, ya'll keep the boys motivated!!!
Had a emergency call this morning. Fortunately, no serious injuries. The Nomad got a little sideways coming out of the turn, jumped the wall barrier, and nose dived. Progressive agent was on the scene quick!!! RM

http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv333/kwikdeals2/002-11.jpg

After stripping the original, the plastic still showed paint stains, so we had to use some white paint. Chrome foiled the headers, a little detail work, and added some custom made stickers. My GEICO buddy has been keeping a watch on this one :p:p...RM

I guess when you've got a sizable spread like yours, you get your own personal agent to handle the claims. It was nice of you to give him (or her) their own custom ride. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

What lurks in the background? Why it is a tatty Super Pinto in need of your special brand of TLC. Can't wait to see how that turns out. :hat::hat:

What, no Progressive girl to be seen? :eek: Another great little story HT. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I would have to guess the nomad driver got distracted by the money he could be saving over on turn 1!! :lol: Nice story Randy, and glad to see the meat wagon again!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looks like Progressive and Geico are fighting for business. mmmMMMM???? Is that an oil slick in the turn ???? ......... wonder how that got there.


GREAT STUFF!!!!

Looks like you're over insured. Progressive, GIECO and Nationwide.
Which one is on your side?
What's in your wallet?

Rich triple coverage is always better.

That's a slick little Progressive white Chevy Blazer Hilltop! It is looking real nice on those slotted rims also.

Bob...another fine foil job on the pipes as well...zilla

I may be getting hooked on these Pony's, just not sure. Went with a light yellow/orange package, everything else is about the same...RM

I don't think Randy owns any Ford decals. Not one to be found.
I'm betting there's a big block Jasper Chevy under the hoods of them there Pintos.

P.S. Randy, are those pillows on the backs of them cars?
Is that just in case they make a wrong move while being passed by a Mopar?

Rich :dude:
