Great mod to the Charger. Was thinking the samething as NTxSlots, put a #3 on that thing. ;) rr

Thanks again guys, I think I'm running out of ideas, then I get a brainfart (is that a word???) from seeing other fantastic builds posted. One thing leads to another. Rich, I try to take at least a lap or two to make sure a car is functional. For racing, I usually use the old reliables that have been beat and banged on. I thought the same thing about the #3 after painting it. It would look good with a #3 on the top & sides and "Goodwrench" on the hood, sorry Wes!!! Back to the shop time, trying to get another ProMod built...RM

Instead of Goodwreck, how about a big white Mopar with a blue Chrysler emblem in front of it! What if Dale ran Dodge all those years? He could have had that elusive eighth, or even ninth championship!!!!!!:thumbsup:

Here's another ProMod the boys worked up. The boys used a Mead Bros. 41 Chevy body on this build. This one's running a T-Jet setup, polished headers, with a few diecast parts...Hope you enjoy it...RM

Wow-- beautiful, beautiful. As always, I'm floored by the quality and quantity of your work!
Regarding the tuning, you might have the boys try some simichrome on the gears. That should quiet it down a bit. ;)
Mark

Yikes.. Randy...jebus as Joe would say I am speachless.. awesome...


Dave

Thanks again guys. The Mustangs and other cars were some I bought from Craigslist.com. Some guy advertised some old toys, so I investigated and got lucky I think. Ended up buying about 14 total cars. Most of em are in pretty good shape. Gear Buster was kind enough to send me a top for the 62 Chevy Atlas. A lilttle sanding and buffing, Looks like new!!! Thanks GB.

Holy Cow, awecome customs AND a treasure chest lot of Fords and Chevies........ can it get any better?

I'm calling these builds, the Street Rod Series. It's a resin copy from a Hot Wheels, "Mercohaulic", the boys have been working on. It's running a T-Jet chassis, Vincent wheels, with aluminum exhaust tubes. Had to extend the wheel base to make it work. I thought about trying to cut it down, but for what you gain, it just wasn't worth the trouble. If I ever get the casting down, maybe I can try the shrinking process. Oh well, I'll take it as is...
P.S. HoJohn sent me the 53 Chevy on the rack to play with...I mean work on...still deciding on a color...RM

Hill,

Have you done up a panle in Pepsi Colors? Red and blue with a white separation stripe might look sweet. Since the boys all drink Pepsi...

hill - all i can say WWHHHOOOOAAAAA !! i like it!!! :eek:

Wes

Randy, that car is so cool!
Mercohaulic....and it is "hammered", too! LOL!
Your candied paint looks miles deep, man! :thumbsup:

Great classic finds Randy...congradulations! Very clean examples.

The merc looks bad axx...course anything with gunslit winders is good by me...LOL...:p

Always great to see what the Easter bunny has brung. The Easter basket being the rack in the back ground of your photos. Actually Nuther coined the phrase one weds along the lines of, "did I see Randys new easter egg?"; because you always have a treat hiding.

These lurking images of coming attractions are a great bonus. :thumbsup:
Sorta like the puzzle page in the Times where one has to compare two images to find fun and games.

you're the king Randy!

That is one SWEET Merc-a-holic. You da man Randy.

Hooooooly Sweeeet Caaaaaaaaaaaaaandy Red Hot Rods Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob...OMG that is totally-WOW-riffic!...zilla

HoJohn from Century Tire sent this Ol' 53 resin body to the boys to play with. They decided to make a parts delivery out of it. After some body work, a little bondo, primer and sanding, we went with some Boyd's Sunset Orange. Moon tank on the front end to supply needed liquids, added a hood ornament for air consumption, dressed it up with some chrome wheels from MEV. Special thanks to HoJohn for supplying the body...RM

Sweet color on that! :woohoo:

Wow, you can deliver my parts in that truck any day! It looks fantastic!:thumbsup:
As a matter of fact, you guys need a parts delivery guy? I'm available and would love to drive it!

Randy - Another great car. I too love the teasers in the background. Makes me look forward to the next project. With all the activity going on the shop, how do get the boys to stand still long enough to get the pictures?
Jim

Randy,

That 53 from hojohn is El-Fabio man! NY tire and Parts road ripper...Yeah! John is gonna get a kick from this when he sees the picture BIG TIME.:woohoo:

Bob...don't have time to do mine...zilla

Sweet looking delivery truck!!!! 30 minutes or the parts are free huh??

Sweet looking delivery truck!!!! 30 minutes or the parts are free huh??

Is it time for a Domino's Pizza delivery truck?

I like the Austin .The 46 Ford and most of the cars the way you have customized them . Your shop is neat also .Dont know much about slot cars been years since we had a slot car track.I like the shops you guys have might pickup some ideas .Maybe you guys might find the odd thing interesting that i have done, my engine stand is just scrap plastic my own scale l.o.l.If i cant find something i want.I try to make it .

One of the engine hoist my husband made for me out of a old 1/87 scale train part it even moves up and down.

My engine shop..
The buildings i make from sheet plastic.
I cut the drill press down and the workbench.
I use 1/87 scale people .
The reason is they fit in 1/64 scale cars the 1/64 scale people dont.I am not into correct scale if it looks ok thats close enough for me . I build dioramas to display cars and kids play with them .


http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh303/mijyma/ht3/en5.jpg

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh303/mijyma/ht3/en6.jpg

This is why i use 1/87 scale people .They improve the look of a scene. And kids enjoy the little cars more.

I removed the tampos on the old Ford and did a wheel swap thats about the limit of my custom work talent .

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh303/mijyma/ht2/wst3.jpg

As far as custom cars go this was my first attempt just chopped the roof off the old Ford .


http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh303/mijyma/ht2/c4.jpg


This is the only picture i have of a old slot car track
We still have a lot of that junk in storage have to dig it out some day i think the cars are 70s models. i know some are tyco and afx .

Pearl, you have some major sweetness in those photos - awesome job!!!

:woohoo:

Very nice dioramas indeed!!! That drop top Ford looks ready for a Sunday drive. Good looking settings with the countryside and the State Fair. Shop looks great also, I could take my car there to have worked on!!! Come on back, we'll have you using electrical cars before you know it...get that track cleaned of for some cruising...RM

These 2 beauties stopped by the shop. Said they were from the Bob...I like hooters...zilla modeling agency. Well the shop has gone to heck, the boys are tooo busy looking. I had to take a look myself!!! If you can, check out the cars. Thanks Bob...way to go and mess up my day...zilla ...RM

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/009-1.jpg

Maybe you guys can concentrate without the girls...

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/018.jpg

Thanks for the comments guys .
Strange i hang around the shop my husband works on his old project cars ,i never seen any bikinis drop by, a couple of the guys girlfriends hang out there in the evening ,
Seems we are either making coffee for the guys, or can you pull that Holley carb apart for me? ,or one of them wants me to take a look at the interior and see if i can fix a little tear in the seat .He got in the car and forgot to take a screw driver out of his back pocket and ripped the seat .:)
I do the interiors on our project cars.

The old coupes are nice .. The guy standing on the pop machine and the other one on the car are funny .

So i will post this picture just for you guys .It was my first attempt at trying to make water for the pool it did not turn out very good .

Bikinis are very hard to paint on these little people they are less than a inch tall. I have all kinds of buildings on my dioramas .

Just so you know i am use to being around guys and the descriptive language they use when they rip off a part of their finger on a fan blade and we patch it up for them while they are tap dancing around the room waving their arm around and describing their pain .:)

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh303/mijyma/slot%20cars/c22-1.jpg

The girls that hang out in the shops i built are a little more conservative in the way they dress ..:)

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh303/mijyma/slot%20cars/ts12.jpg

Never know Randy i might drag out the slot cars someday.
I am in the process of building a 24 ft long by 4 ft wide diorama . I built all my dioramas 2ft by 4ft to 6 ft long and they can all be interlocked together .My plan was maybe i could talk my guy into doing another model railroad .:)
Kind of a subliminal message once he sees them joined together.:)

Randy,

Yeah the girls don't eat much & they just like an occasional drive about in a Fancy Hot Rod so, your shop was the place for them. Kewl Beans Inc Custom paint & repair is more of a Gothic and Dusty place...they didn't care for it much. (RALMAO....Uuuum hey everyone L@@K H:):)TERS!! lol) You realy captured the guys standing around and on top of cars checking out Hot Babes look RM. :woohoo:

That Black, metallic gray and green stripe Hot Rod are great. Dark...light....what next Mr. Hill ...I have another great idea... Top?

Pearl,

Your pics are EYE-Candy and I know that everyone here is realy excited to see all your pics...I am just thinking WOW!

Bob...my gals wear leather...zilla

Well Bob i can post a lot more but not sure if i should keep posting them on Randys topic. I have a autowreckers diorama.. body shop .tire shop, paint shop ..that kind of thing .

Time to start a "Pearl's Shops" thread!

The silver/green/black paint scheme is beyond words but I'll give it a shot:

AWESOME!

Time to start a "Pearl's Shops" thread!

No thanks l.o.l.
I will try keep pictures that relate to little cars.
Slot cars have to be built somewhere so little shops kind of fit in with your hobby. You guys probably need a autowreckers got to find those little cars somewhere .We have more arriving every day. l.o.l.

hilltop you are majic man the truck looks great glad you enjoyed it

Pearl as a former car modeler and model train enthusiast , all I can say is WOW ! You do great work ! Please more pics !? You need to come over to our side of the site , LOL . Get the slots out, ok? :thumbsup:

Pearl as a former car modeler and model train enthusiast , all I can say is WOW ! You do great work ! Please more pics !? You need to come over to our side of the site , LOL . Get the slots out, ok? :thumbsup:

I dropped by and posted a picture for you on a project i am just finishing up it s on the ..WD 40 topic.

The slots are about mid way in a 53 trailer we have in storage l.o.l
That's what happens when the kids are gone and you have a large house and decide to move to a smaller place. Just have not decided yet what we will keep.I collect many things . l.o.l.

Pearl thanks for doing that .I love dioramas and seeing new stuff like this its great because it gives me ideas to incorporate on my race track. :thumbsup:

Gone only for a short time and the Crew of the Hilltop Shop have turned out a number of masterpieces - 53 delivery, Jaguar racer plus beautiful customs. Others have built shops, dioramas and many new cars. Great, I have a lot of good reading ahead of me.

Just had to drop into the shop and show the guys that my new silver rod worked and caught some fish but more got away than were caught, you know the big ones.
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll258/XraceHO/IMG_0186.jpg

This is a fishing rig not like Randy's custom runabout. Do you really need a new tow vehicle & runabout, NO but you really want one, Yes - another project.
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll258/XraceHO/IMG_0185.jpg

John, the wood worker had to fix a few of the oars which were damaged on the trip!
http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll258/XraceHO/IMG_0187.jpg

HT is a great place for inspiration for many new projects resulting from all the great builds. So many projects and so little time...RL

Xracer,

I just love the way you covered Mopar, Ford & Chevy right off the bat on the shop walls. Smart idea. LOL

Trick boat trailer with the 2 motors under the 2 boats.

The wood table could work doubly nice to clean all the fish you caught also. WHACK off the heads and de-gut em" Eeeeeeeeeew yuck.:freak:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UPDEJdMxGI&feature=related

Bob...I don't fish because, putting the worm on the hook freaks me out...zilla

Is that a Zebco rod??? Nice detail work on the flat-bottom Xracer!!! Mount both of those 15hp's on one boat, yea!!! "Gone fishing", was that an excuse??? Glad you had a great vacation!!! Now get back to basics, build some cars!!! If you want fish, go to Long John Silvers or Capt. D's. Tell John to save the sawdust, it's great for soaking up oil spills and leaks. Good for transmissions too!!!, or so I've been told!!! RM

Glad you had a good vacation. I don't see any fish. Did you break the oar hitting the fish or the motor when it conked-out?? :)
