Very nice shop... I like the way you did the roll up door ,and the saw table looks neat. You are right a lot of neat ideas on this board.

Here's an old Henry J the boys finished up. This one is running a T-Jet chassis, with narrowed AFX wheels. RM

Another bad to the bone two tone in the Easter basket too...you've been on metallic kick lately.

Nice Henry J w/Hemi :thumbsup:

HHHEEEMMMIIIIIIII!!!! anything with H e m i - i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! whooooo!!

Wes

A hemi in a little car must have been fun squeezing that in there.l.o.l.
I like the colour of the car looks very nice . We had a few small cars with v8 engines but just Ford 302 motors and 350 chevy motors just toys for cruisin. l.o.l.

Freakin Awsome!!! and the fins keep it goin straight!!

The blue Henry just didn't seem to have enough attitude. Part of the competition, is the scare factor, at the line. Hopefully this color package will cause a distraction while the other guy is watching the lights. After running out of yellow paint, the boys decided to finish up with some leftover red from another job. Just trying to cut material costs...RM

That is a Wild Thang. You must be running low on yellow?

I do see a pickup bed on the trailer in yellow. Looks pretty staight too.

Bob...Racing for pINKs...zilla

Low on yellow. LOLOLOL!

I seriously doubt that.

Another beauty Randy. Not sure if ya really cut costs though. I'll bet ya broke even on paint and masking tape....not mention the extra labor time yer high priced team demands.

Uh let's see Bill, getting started from scratch as I think you might agree. Just "estimates" to get started:
10.00 - Chassis
7.00 - Tires & Wheels
3.00 - masking tape
5.00 - sandpaper
5.00 - Xacto pen and blades
5.00 - can of primer
5.00 - can of red
5.00 - can of yellow
5.00 - can of clear
2.00 - markers
3.00 - paint pens
5.00 - paint brushes for detailing
3.00 - glue
5.00 - Castrol Super Clean for screw ups (paint stripping)
65.00 - resin modeling kit to build a body
1.00 - Hot Wheels body
__________________________________________________ ____________
134.00 total, not counting time & labor. Although you will have some leftovers for building more cars. I'm sure there's some other expenses I left out, but it's cheaper than golf or fishing... I love it!!! RM

Hahahahahahahaha Randy!

According to yer calculations it is VERY fortunate that we dont start COMPLETELY from scratch every time. Funny though, I always drop a coupla dimes at the hobby shop no matter what the build is... even though I'm pretty well stocked on the basics.

Sweet looking Henry Js.

Chassis:$10
Tires: $7
Etc.: $$$$$$
Randy's creations: Priceless. :woohoo:

Sorta sounds like a commercial or something....:thumbsup::thumbsup:

When the boys saw Bill's red Willys, they had to have a droptop!!! After a little cutting, grinding, and painting, the Merc is ready for cruizing, hold on to your hats!!! RM

another Gem in a LONG line of gems from Randy!

Schwing! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys!!! The boys and I apreciate the kind words!!! The color is a Duplicolor - Dark Jade Green DSFM165, laquer base, touch up spray can. RM

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!

Dang! nuff said...

Wow... Straight outta Emerald City no doubt. Nice paint Randy.... nd

Sweet! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

In the trailer and off to Barrett-Jackson!!! Jeepers, Randy! What's next?

Rich

I wonder if HW is paying attention to your ideas and paints? beautiful, Randy! :thumbsup:

In the trailer and off to Barrett-Jackson!!! Jeepers, Randy! What's next?

Thanks again guys!!! Next you ask, is an F150 like the one on the rack. I got a couple from the auction block, that have some problems. Usally the stacks are broken, the tailights are missing, the bumpers are broken, or the flames have had it. F150's are kind'a pricey, but if it's a bargain, it makes a nice cruizer or service truck...RM

The merc convert is spiffy-super kean-neato in green and gold. Gotta love the raked and cut down windshield. Rock on Hilltop! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I may drive down to San Onofre and hang out at the reactor so I can mutate and grow an extra pair of thumbs. Then I could give you the 4 thumbs up this deserves. :freak::dude:

Hilltop,

Nice slice and dice job there man. That interior looks smooth in the brown with that Metalic Green and Gold...Yeah! You can see the Bose stereo system if you squint. :eek: TURN IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you took the girls out for a ride because, they love it when the wind is blowing through their hair on the open road. They like Drive Inns also but, you may want to take the van with a Keg in the back...they like to party! :hat::tongue::D:dude: How are they doing?

Bob...loves RMs Shop Builds...zilla

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! That's one good looking metallic green mercury car!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

Wow!

Wes

This F150 had a few problems, so instead of a restoration, the boys tried a customization. These F150's can get pricey, but sometimes you just gotta go for it. After the first grind mark, I'm OK. This one had a glue spot on the hood, broken stacks, front grill was missing, & a few roll over marks. Truck has been lowered front & rear, removed the remaing stacks , mudded in the front pan, added some chrome steelies, and a chrome grill form a Matchbox truck. I gotta get the boys busy on the red truck...RM

Naw Win,

She is just laying on the leather...

Bob...That is an incredible paint job...zilla

Randy,
How about a pic of the chassis setup that PU is setting on. What wheels did you put on that thing? One sweet looking truck. Clean and simple. Still drool when I look at her. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Thanks for the kind words guys!!!
RR, I used the original 4 gear chassis. I just took a dremel and ground down the rear support, in the middle only. The chassis fits inside the small round supports. I ground down the front post, but couldn't go much lower on the front because of the guide pin. The grill is from a Matchbox diecast. The wheels are chrome steelies from MEV. I made a brass axel for the front, with spacers to keep from rubbing the chassis. Sorry Joez, this is just rattle can paint, no airbrush. The tonneau cover is also spray can. Glad you guys liked it!!! RM

Bud's, just down the road needed a tow truck for small jobs. The boys found an old wrecker bed they wanted to use. Decided on a JL Dodge for a cab. After a little cutting and grinding, we got things a working. Had to stretch the wheelbase a little, but it worked out OK...RM
