Yeah, NO -- The Monte Carlo mold needs a new half poured before I can get any more decent bodies. I might be a hack but I still have standards :lol:

I will let you know. :thumbsup:

Doba,
Thanks. No rush, I have a box full of pending projects that's been growing. :eek: rr

After all the great work I've seen goin on at the other shops....
I still haven't put a dent in any of my projects. :(

Geez!!! That looks like the big pile up after the 110 MPH chase scene under the RR tracks on the blues brothers movie, except in technicolor!! :lol:

yes, it's a huge pile up of Nascar history
I might get some of this done tonight......maybe.

Looks like the aftermath of an El Cajon Pass fog-out! It usually happens at least once a year. Lots of twisted metal or should I say plastic.

Rich, I am stationary on day shift today drive up bring the cars bring some rattles I will bring mine and we'll blast a few dozen off..

Wooooooooooooooooah that is a lot of stuff to start putting dents into.

Bob...take your time (are you done yet?)...zilla

Hey Sparky, have to agree with you: too many projects and too little time then another post which increases the project list BUT isn't, it GREAT, no lack of inspiration from this forum!! ..RL

I'd suggest you get busy, 1:15 comes early!!! RM

Well, I have made some progress.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/82/a63cafc163484a47920b5fc4f6ab32fc/l.jpg

NTx, Great work on the Mopar's & see a few more to come plus some GM products, keep up the good work - Sparky!

Yeah, I've had that before too. :rolleyes: rr

Man, I should have brought the shop and tools with me. They wouldn´t let me carry it on though, something about no razor blades or spray paint. Funny, now that I can´t walk out in the garage and look at it, I´m missin it. This would have been great for the traveling jasper lola thread.

Rich

I can only imagine how big the pile will be when you get back home!! :eek:

Rich,

You were supposed to pick Lola up at Coaches house. Lola had waaaaaaaaaay to much holding pattern time in Texas. It's O.K. man Lola will be around for many years to come. Maybee next time? Sorry about that Dude but, that is how Lola Rolls.

I need to make another Jasper Powered something this summer. Traveling ?? :confused:

Bob...that pile will be there when you get back...zilla

I've been thinkin bout Daytona alot lately. I'm excited about the new season,
but, I been thinkin bout the way things used to be. Last night I had a dream.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/114/d53e197eac8f413c93822a51b0e866f5/l.jpg

I dreamed I started my own 67 Nascar series with all the makes.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/124/5ced286a37ba45ec9df7ad213e9c1f19/l.jpg

They raced far and wide, at tracks across America.
Yes, it was just like the old days, except nobody got killed.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/142/ee3d8fbc2be24d4c8863b8b694e537eb/l.jpg

But then I woke up.............. Maybe someday.

http://a3.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/114/44ae7200ee604af390030f8209607ec3/l.jpg

That is some nice work Rich. I wish my basement wasn't 2 degrees in the winter when I have time to try some of that fancy work. Your paint work looks top notch.

Rich,

Go back to sleep man....Zzzzzzzzzzzzz ;) CLOSE THE OTHER EYE NOW...DO IT!

WOW! Those stockers are FANTASTIC and nobody got killed...SWEET. Kinda like the Ghost Rider Movie...Crash, Crash...don't worry folks he is O.K.

Bob...I just had the same dream (day shaw vue)...zilla

Very nice builds Texas!

Of course that cheated up Smokey Yunick Chevelle would be on pole.

Cool stuff Rich! :)

Maybe if smokey was still around there'rd be more racing and less
riding.

Nice cars Takes me back to real racing times

kcl

Nice bunch of "old" clunkers :lol: :jest:, AAAHhhhhh the good ol' days ......

Alright Rich, glad to see Sparky back in the shop!!! Good looking bunch of Nascar style T-Jets :thumbsup::thumbsup: Surely you haven't given up on Tyco's??? RM

Thanks guys,
Heck no, Im not done with Tycos!!!!
As a matter of fact, I had this next one on the back burner,
but another discussion helped me decide to go ahead and bring it out.

I got this Mustang, that has similar body lines to one of my favorite Fords.
http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/42/eaba7d59126f4946a78c345355dd26f0/l.jpg

I decided to shave it down and do a remake.
http://a2.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/84/3d5dfc46d2a14e12858ebeaa81068ef9/l.jpg

A little sanding here, a little bondo there....
http://a2.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/90/e3cfccd1ba30412f8bc09075c4fcb411/l.jpg

And shaved off the light assemblies...
http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/104/fb74e4b0f1464e05b0f5b9d1962f82fc/l.jpg

I then painted it my favorite color...
http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/118/2e2799d5f5744005bd427b5d19251e90/l.jpg

And installed the new bumpers, grill and light assemblies.

http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/152/975bdf541ff14682b6093b2cf438f5d1/l.jpg

It now resembles a 69 Torino Talladega,
bout as much as it formerly resembled a 71 Mach I Mustang.

That 69 Torino Talladega is a dream Machine...Nicely done man!

NTx,
Great looking conversion. Where did that Chevelle Luguna body come from sitting on the rack in the back??
Thanks, rr :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sort of even resembles those V8 Supercars Kiwi has posted about. You should make a couple more in other sponsors' colors. nd

Fantastic job on the NASCAR T-jet's Rich, the Torino is a great transformation and in my favorite color too. The shop looks great & so do the cars in the background - Sparky's been busy!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

Glad to see Ol Sparky off his butt and working again!!! Lots of reworking on the Ford conversion :thumbsup::thumbsup: I'm like RR, I likes that Laguna in the background. Is that one of those Dilwaukee WI bodies??? RM

Awesome batch of late 60's stockers Sparky!!!! Great job on the Talladega too!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

WOW!! You did awesome job on it!! :thumbsup:

Wes

That ughstang came out really nice Rich!

You say Mustang ....... I say Torino ........ they're both Fords.

Great job on the conversion NT.

Forward facing "A" pillars, wing windows, wrap around windshield and the headlamp doors tells me it's a 63. Here's my '66 for comaparison. '64-'66 didn't have the wrap around windshield and had the more "square" healamp doors. I love it though!!:) Love the shop too! This is the first I've seen the thread. Kinda looks like my garage!

Nice rig! Funny dat there's one of these sitting one neighborhood over from us. My wife and I spotted it on a walk one day. Poor lil thing is sitting outside, but she's all street-rodded and hunkered down on ralley sports, flat tires, and sporting a red oxide primer overcoat. It's all there except for the "love". My wife said, "NO! Get away from it!" as I started to cuddle up to it. I bet it woulda followed me home. :thumbsup:

I wish pie wagons, panels, and carry-alls were better represented in our hobby. :cry: It's a pretty darn short list.

Trucks in general I suppose.

Thanks guys!

Great info Grig,
I wasnt aware of the changes through them years.
My uncle had one, but Im not sure what year it really was.

RR, HT,
More info on that Laguna in the background is on pages 9 & 10
It's a great car on a LWB Tyco. Fits right in with the Chargers.
Another great body from Ideal.

Thanks Bill!! You need to bring that orphan home!! I drove over 600 miles to bring mine home! It's funny you mention a Pie Wagon, here's the tag on my
'66 and some eye candy from under the hood!!

'63 was the first year for the single headlamp configuration. '60-'61 actually had torsion bar suspension!! I love all those years!!
