Zilla,, next time we need to line up the Hooters girls.. I'll bet we draw more of a live crowd....:thumbsup:
CJ

All of you sure know how to make a guy feel really good, yeah? :D .

The cars were a challenge to build and a heck of a lot of fun to share. They couldn't have gone to a more deserving bunch of friends. I only wanted to show my appreciation for that friendship.

I am absolutely thrilled that you are all having as much fun with them as I did.

You honor me greatly.

Thank you kindly,

joez & the HTHG

O.K. since you made the cars the tour is FREE for you Joez...Lucky!

Hi guys!

Here is the next in the hammered and slammed series...

While this AW GTX looked pretty good, I wasn't completely satisfied with its posture. Like most afx snappy bods, there is only so much that can be done with pot-handle mounts that had this otherwise sharp car reaching for the second floor. A slam was the order of the day with a set of Vincent rollers, tucked in where they belong and a brighter paint job tossed in for good measure.:thumbsup:

After stripping the body, the glass was trimmed of the extra chunks to let the body sit all the way down on the Tjet chassis. Not quite satisfied, the front of the gear plate was bobbed to let the dash line rest directly atop the magnet. (it ain't goin no lower, boys. :D) Posts were then cut from styrene stock and welded into the body with JB 5 minute.

A trick from the book of Hilltop using 1/16 stripe tape to separate the colors really pulled the whole package together.

Thanks for the interest!

Good Color Selection Joe. and of course at the right stance it looks much better!

So that is where ya been??
missing ya in chat..
Nice Job buddy!!

Is that the shop I sent ya?? I need to get in gear..mine is gathering dust!

CJ

Hammied and slammied at HTHG. Nice Joseph. :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

Clean lines. Very nice work.

Clean and smooooth!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I like this Joe z 2 tone combo!!! The gravity pull looks great too!!! RM

Joez,
Looks great! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

Now we know where you've been!! Busy, busy!!! Awesome job slamming that bad boy down to the ground!! Cool choice of colors too boot!!!! Now hows about sharing that tasty tidbit going on the rack behind it?? You got this two tone thing down for sure!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looks great!Very Realistic stance JOEZ

Dig it!

Great improvemnt to the car: Great paint, two tone scheme, rims, excellent stance plus chrome detail!! WOW!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: The HTH Garage also has the teaser trick from the book of Hilltop, down too. Can't wait for what looks like a two tone Hot rod in the background. ..RL

sweet GtX

Joe.. is the glass tinted green? The more I see this car, the more I like it!

Joez - i like it!! sweet job on two tone!! i ll have to make one ! :thumbsup:

Wes

Thank you, men!

This car could use a bit more detail, me thinks. Maybe even some decals so it does not look so flat. I have been undecided on painting the hood bulge in the same green. what think you?

The glass is in fact, green It couldn't have worked out better and I am not so sure how it would have looked with that grey smoked stuff that AW sometimes uses.

Hiding in the back is actually a resin body by our own Bruce Gavins.
I will post it up soon. :D

Joez,

You took a AW car that drove me nutz to look at (red one was so wrong the way it sat on the chassis) and made it Awesum! Changing the color helped me get those Bad AW thoughts out of my head also. AW Bodies are good but, they just need the touch...this is the touch fer sure. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob...If Joez can't do it nobody can...zilla

Catching up on my reading...sorry I missed this Joe.

Green glass is always my first choice too. Great stance mit der Vincents and of course the cool hand Luke steady hand to pull off the brush touched window trim.

Hello, friends.


Last week I received a surprise parcel in the mail.
It is one of Randy's very cool resin casts. A green Camaro with Flames!:thumbsup:
I was stunned speechless by his senseless act of kindness. What a beautiful car!
I have since put about 300 laps on the green magna-traction beast. It is predictable in the curves and and is very responsive for such a heavy looking car. I hate to use a word like "nimble" because it sounds pansey, but it does what I tell it too, every time. I was seeing it and had to put 300 laps on before I truely believed. LOL

My next project (and believe me it was a project,) was to decide where in my jebus case it would actually live.
(The jebus case was FULL and has all the hard ones, fragile ones and special ones in it.)

While sorting through the case, I realized that I have some amazing friends here on HT! Since November of 2004, I have acquired , been gifted or have comissioned some very special cars. Only a very few were out-right purchased through seller or auction.

These cars, over and above all the rest of my collection give me the most joy. They were built by my friends in a custom frenzy or they were simply built for me. I am truely greatfull to all of you who have added so much to my favorite hobby. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Nice bunch there Joe... Maybe it's finally time for a bigger case yeah?? :woohoo: nd

Yup. A bigger case is in order!!! Good to see some pink around the track too!!! Sand, sand sand, paint, sprinkle, spray, sprinkle, vacuum!! LOL

Hey Joez,

Hobby Talk built cars are the best! Look at all those Awesum cars man. :eek:

Yeah HT is one big family and as a group we all ROCK! It is always a blast to see evereyones custom builds here in the threads. Sending and getting Hobby Talk Custom slot cars just takes it over the edge for me.

Bob...May everyones cases on HT have this problem...zilla

Uh Joe, Just build you a cardboard display to go on the wall, above your cardboard track. :p:p Maybe you could stack some shoeboxes...Glad you liked it, just trying to return the favors!!! RM

Very cool joez :thumbsup::thumbsup: And I agree ....... just make a bigger case. :freak:

Let me see, I'll take that one and that other one there and...........:)

Great looking collection joez! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Joez, what I see there is a big bunch of respect!!!

Never did see the Ferrari finished up Joe. She looks great!

Nice roster, very diverse. I've amassed quite a pile of really nice SOE's myself. What a cool bunch of friends we have! Like Bob sez..."I love this place!"

Bob...There are some neat pictures in here...zilla

Darn Bob!! Ya got me all excited thinking Joez made a comeback! :( Glad you bumped it up, though... Miss ya Joe!!

"COME OUT COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE"

Kinda sucks that so many pics are missing from the older posts in these build threads :o

I agree TBI. Joez had some serious talent. He was always thinking out of the box, and always had some seriously cool ideas.

Kinda sucks that so many pics are missing from the older posts in these build threads :o

Much was lost in the pre photobucket era...
