Bob,

Bob,

rr,

You know what I have not even thought about that. Just went with the sticky back paper idea because, it seemed easy & was what AFX used also. Maybe some day?

Have picked up some of my first water decal sheets to mess around with but, still need to pull the trigger on that one. I know that is going to be fun. First things first & need to finish up a bunch of started projects.

Well I have been printing away the last few days and decided to make the Semi (ha,ha) white background-ed Pine-Sol sticker a little more Pine-Sol-ish color. Then while I was at it decided to go for broke and do up a few stickers that I know my good buddy Joez will like.

Decided it was time to expand the Mullet Beer line with a Lager beer to compete with the Mutt Beer that has been infiltrating its sales into the Twin City area lately.

For more custom trailer sticker pics go back to post #445.

Bob...I was pink before pink was Kewl...zilla

You need to build a loading dock next! :thumbsup:

Kewl-shizzle. :woohoo:

Bob, Mutt Beer is a small micro brewery with no plans for expansion yet.
The Mullet line is secure.......:freak:

Cool trucks......Bob..."we're gonna have a convoy".....zilla

HONK HONK!!!! Truck 'em up!!!!

Extra nice set of stickers Bob... by a nose... Zilla!! I'll be :lol: all day with that one!!!

"5 out of 4 slot-tards prefer pinesol!" :tongue:

Bob, Those are Way cool! :thumbsup:
I love your imagination.

You amaze me, brother!

The beer truck is great. But I think it would have been better as "Making beer since yesterday afternoon and no one has died from it yet." :D

A guy I work with gave me a good idea for a Mystery Semi Machine...gotta think about that but, that could be a Mystery Machine on a trailer sticker? Hmmmmmmmm

This could go on forever....I better get back to Phsssssssssssssssting or I will end up making a whole room full of stickers. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Bob...Not Yet...zilla

Bob, great work by "Sticker Semi Machine" Zilla! Hope you are going to give all the repair work to the KW Shop down the road . They need all the work they can get in these tough times!

There is an empty work bay that needs to be filled, just bring your Peterbilts in for sevice! ...RL

I was going through the Zilla photo archive and saw something vaguely familiar in one of his cars. Check out the Mullet speedster's driver and the National Bohemian Beer mascot. Coincidence?

LOLOL Russ!!!! Good eye!!! :lol:

OMG,

Russ I can't believe this...there are three 6s on that thing. Aaaah! I am so freaked out by this. I always punch in 678 at work for the 6th fitting sticker on our computer. 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 678, 777, 888, 999 etc.

This car is satanic now and should be burned...aaaaaaaah! No wait...just add another 6 to it and it will be fine. Wheeeeeeew.:freak:

Bob...God I didn't do this on purpose...zilla

You need to build a loading dock next! :thumbsup:

Kewl-shizzle. :woohoo:

Great idea and a Truck stop also.

RL has a good idea visualy also!!!! Nice KW shop man.

ROTF!!!!!

Well this one is in the works tonight. Joes mentioned Mr. Potato head and Legos as a way of thinking of putting cars together in another thread. Yep that is kinda what this is like. The lights and siren are from a 4 gear Ambulance body held on with Poster Putty for right now.

The body is a white Dash Ghia spayed with Kustom Kolor Pearl White. The decals are from Amy the fingernail decal gal and from our local Comic Book stores bits box of decals. I did double layer the door decals to get them to look right.

The windows will be getting the red tint treatment with no driver on this one...sorry!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabghost1.jpg

Man ever since slotcarman (Ujoe) sent us that lighted Mercury build time has been at a stand still. Hey don't get me wrong this is great racing with Fletcher. Got my lighted Ryder truck with the New Pine Sol trailer running around as Fletcher keeps wearing down the rubber on that lighted Merc.

Going to go back and add a few yellow and black decals to the rocker panels right now on this and then get those top parts put on.

Bob...I ain't afraid of no ghost...zilla

yeah!! who you gonna call??? ghostbusters!!!! man i always liked that movie!

its cool looking car man!!

Wes

Is that Kustom Kolor part of the vegas mystery paint you bought in Vegas?? That ghia looks awesome Zilly!!!! Can't wait to see her finished!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob, your Ghia's are looking GREAT!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: The previous Military one has a fantastic looking fade paint & now, this neat idea and great paint make this one cool GhostBuster Police Squad car!
Your into your Ghia ... Zilla period so Ghia away!! ..RL

"..........There's something strange in the neighborhood......."

And I don't mean Zilla :lol: GREAT car Bob :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Is that Kustom Kolor part of the vegas mystery paint you bought in Vegas?? That ghia looks awesome Zilly!!!! Can't wait to see her finished!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

U-Joe,

Nope that Mystery paint is still in my Mother-in-Laws and Father -in-laws Mini van. They are driving that paint back instead of trying to bring it all back on the plane. They get back from Vegas very soon! :)

This Pearl White is by Kustom Kolors (House of Kolors hobby line no longer made...:cry:) and that is the stuff that is on route to Nebraska via Gingers parents along with 4 bottles of Transparent Alclad paint!!!!:woohoo:

I have the lights and siren installed and dropped some Pearl White down around the lights with a brush the other day. Will post pics of this up soon along with the "Slickster II".

Bob...I am VW kinda Ghia right now...zilla

Bob...Mr Potatohead/legoMan...Zilla......
I like the way you think!
That will be a very cool goast bustin' machine! :thumbsup:

The windows will be getting the red tint treatment with no driver on this one...sorry!

Are you sure Bob...not gonna put a driver in it...Zilla ? ? nd

Dang ND!!! Nice job spotting that!!! I'm still waiting for the price to drop on the Austin Powers set complete with Dr. Evil, Austin and Felicity Shagwell; and the monkees diorama with all 4 band members.. Unfortunately, they only seem to increase in price...

Nope but, I did use a different JL Ghostbuster Gold car for a model to make this one as it went along.

This Slow Moving Vehicle sign is just there to trick the ghost. This thing flys...Whooooosh! No axle nuts were used as to keep these tires tucked in correctly.

Uther Joe (slotcarman) this Red Baron will be headed your way soon. Slickster II in this picture doesn't show the red transparent Alclad paint job very well at all. This started out as a Kosmos Red paint base then Gama Gold mist over that and then the transparet paint for a Candy Color effect. This is way, way, way candy but, pics just don't show it. Yep those red stripes were masked off. Kinda doing alot of that lately with a few good and a few Plop, Plops.

Bob...you gotta take the good with the bad (plop, plop) and just keep :D...zilla

wunderbar! Most excellent, Bob!

which one is mine? :D

BOB ,
that RED BARON is wicked cool ! Love all but drooling over the Baron ! Nice as allways .

Dennis :thumbsup:

I am dumbstruck... :freak: completely dumbstruck.. speechless.. :freak: Wow don't cut it... Holy snickerdoodles!!!... nope.. I was whomped upside the head with the GB ghia, I'll be nursing a bruised jaw for a week with the slickster II. :drunk: I'll be dreaming of dueling ghias tonight!!! Both are flat out awesome, Bob!!! Thank you just don't seem anywhere near adequate.. Looks like I need to send ya's another something or other to even the score...:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Very cool Bob! The Red Baron is RADtastic. How about a dog fight with his buddy Snoopy?:thumbsup::thumbsup:

more Zilla Classics... nice work Bob!

WOW!! :eek: Great Ghias. Hard to choose a favorite. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob,
You're killing me! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

SSSSWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! !!!!!! ZILLA!!!!

Wes

Bob..."just showing his true colors"...zilla is at it again!!! Sounds like a Kodak commercial. Great Bob and Germanzilla engineering!!! I likes that candy red...RM

Very cool Bob! The Red Baron is RADtastic. How about a dog fight with his buddy Snoopy?:thumbsup::thumbsup:

yankee,

I see a Slickster III Ghia along with a Doggy Ghia build in my future.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah that kinda answers Joez question. None of the above and it hasn't been started yet Mr. I like Pink but, will take my Snoopy and like it too. :o

slotcarman,

Don't you Dare build another slot car and send it to my house... that LED Sled was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay enough for this Slickster II and the Flamed Ghia before that was for the Terminator Van...I see what you are trying to pull here. You just want me to keep building slot customs for you...hahahahahaahahaha...Nice try...LOL

Thanks everyone...yeah I am going to have to go and order some more Slickster decals from www.slotrod65.com tonight as I see more Ghias painted up in Transparent and Metalics now. Rob makes the Red Baron decals but, have tons of those...Yeah! Both of these guys make Fantastic decals and can't say enough good things about either one of them. Thanks for making us Sweet Decals both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob...:woohoo:my NEW 18 bottles of paint are now in Nebraska :woohoo:...zilla

P.S. Our computer keeps kicking me off every 5-10 min and am trying to get the problem fixed. The year 2000 did not bring trouble free internet service to me...oh dang it. :(

The kids loved Ghostbusters and then Fletcher and I went downstairs to give our version a few laps...

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aadora1.jpg

Project DEORA is now sitting in a flat black primer coat waiting its turn.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aadora2.jpg

Bob...Yeah the bus, the deora...ect, ect...I know...LOL

Ed,

Thanks for the care package along with the Smoothon dyes I bought from you!

I got this 55 project from Sethndaddy (Ed) painted up in Metallic Blue but, decided to strip it down and goop it up into a surf pickup of sorts. Ed had cut the roof on the 55 and added a 57 Nomad top to make it a 55 Nomad. Great idea Ed & hope you don't mind that I went another direction with this thing. After seeing the Hilltop Nomad done up this just came to mind.

This one is just in the starting stages and will get finished up like all the others...slowly but, with attitude.

Bob...surfs up...zilla

A 55 El Camino!!! I like the way you think and build Bob...can't wait to see this one finished...zilla. Don't leave me hanging...RM
P.S. Still waiting for the AFX Chevy pick up. So many ideas, just not enough time...

Can't wait to see the final on this one! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Nice twist Bob!

Surf City, here we come!!!! :cool: I got to drag out my Beach Boy CD's and play them out Monday while I'm tinkering in the cave.... I feel inspired.. Good Vibrations and all that totally tubular surfer stuff.. The 55 Nomad and the Deora are going to be sweet.. I can't wait to see the final results on both of them.. Almost makes me want to join in with....eeeeerrrmmm... another surfer van??? Hmmm... Surfer Little Red Wagon???? Maybe.... Surfer Suburban?? Well....

The good weather has become a bit more frequent here as of late, and I'm getting the urge to break out my airbrush and give it a shot.. The biggest thing holding me back is the fear of clogging it up. Using it doesn't scare me.. It's the clean up I'm not sure of. The place I bought mine from has a handy video on their site showing the break down/clean up procedure, and I'm sure after I've pulled it apart a couple times it'll be a "no sweat" job, but that first time has me jittery. I got my lacquer thinner, and acetone... I just don't know how much time I have once I have sprayed the paint to spray the acetone through before it starts to crud things up. i'm hooked on lacquer now and like it's quick drying properties too much to swing back to enamel again.. but drying quick inside the brush is a nightmare waiting to happen.:freak:

Any chance of a Bob.... I'll show you how to airbrush...Zilla mini series???

I insist Bob, thats why I sent you the junker, I figured it wouldn't end up much here in retartville, so why not let someone have a ball with it.

Ed,

Then let the games begin! It is forward ho with this (not to be confused with Hoe) and will keep on gooping. You know that a 1/32 custom build for you is going to be needed now since your switch...Yes! Just not any time soon.

I did this one up Easter egg style just to drive Bill Hall insane. Yes I realy spent all this time to decal it up like this...buhahahahahahahahaha :cry::p:o:D:eek::devil:

UtherJoe, (send your phone # in a P.M. for a fun chat & how to if you want)

Man you have some serious before airbrushing issues. :eek: Never fear Bob...I can help...is here.

O.K. Lets pretend that this is a slot car body (This = :tongue:) Do you see it taunting you.

Step 1.) Put thinner and paint in airbrush and spray your :tongue:

Step 2.) Now wipe out any excess paint from your bowl or disconnect bottle.

Step 3.) Spray a full bowl of Acetone in airbrush (my choice but, other paint thinners work well for cleaning also) and spray into a rag to clean it. I like Acetone because, it evaporates quickly and is a strong cleaner that doesn't harm anything.

Step 4.) Now if you still have paint in your bowl take more Acetone and pour it in. Take one of those cheap Testors paint brushes to loosen any paint you still see. Now loosen your paint needle and move it back and forth several times to help get any build up off of it. (Different paints clean up differently...some just with a first bowl spray and some with this extra step here )

Step 5.) O.K. if you had to spray a second bowl of Acetone then take out your needle now and wipe it of with the Acetone on your rag you just sprayed. Also wipe the front of your airbrush to keep it clean along with the outside of your airbrush EACH TIME!!

A clean airbrush is a happy airbrush...This sure seems like a whole bunch of stuff to remember but, it only takes a couple of minutes once you start feeling comfortable with the process.

I understand your nervousness UtherJoe as my first time casting led me to watch the Smooth-on Video a bunch of times and check out Google for how to cast videos also.

Bob...just spray it as YOU CAN DO IT!!...zilla

p.s. I had to log back on about 4 times to complete this post. Not complaining but, see myself building more until this problem gets fixed. I will always take the time to help a good HT friend.

I like the Easter Ghia :thumbsup::thumbsup:

bob,those ghias rock!awesome work as always!
