Better bring your running shoes, Jerry.. or you'll never keep up. Bob has a million ideas running through his head all at the same time, and within 3 minutes you'll look like this...:freak: Like a computer he is.. processing thoughts at lightning fast Road Runner speed!!! :tongue: Beep Beep!!!

Bob I wanna spend a day inside YOUR mind

... Hope ya like Bottle Caps and Coke Zero. ;) nd

The hoodscoop was pretty big and couldn't see out the front windshield so, Popped it off and have a Hilltop Pro Street one painted up red to match to go in its place. I'm totaly in Happy Ville with this truck and now am going to scratch build a trailer and paint it up to match also. It doesn't get much funner than this.

Bob...I can almost start my own Wes World now...zilla

Nice, the decals suit the little Dodge. Trailer will finish the whole thing off nicely. Need to finish my LRW!!!!!!

Bob GREAT STUFF!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:. I wanna spend a day inside YOUR mind :rolleyes:.... or maybe I don't :tongue:......

Bob,
Some good looking stuff. Great idea for all those extra JL/AW pickups! ;) Dave

Bob ...... keep on trucking ....... Zilla I love the truck/trailer. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Can't wait to see the new scoop on the "Little Red Dodge"

Great looking Dodge, Bob! The trailer will be a really nice touch too, hey!:thumbsup:

Bob, looks like you were really busy while I was away.

I absolutely love the Ferrari and Angels van! :thumbsup:

Great idea!!! A Little Red Wagon pulling a Little Red Trailer!!! Thank God his mind isn't being used for evil purposes!!!!:devil: :tongue::eek::lol:

Great idea!!! A Little Red Wagon pulling a Little Red Trailer!!! Thank God his mind isn't being used for evil purposes!!!!:devil: :tongue::eek::lol:

The trailer needs "Radio Flyer" decals, done in white. :D

aww sweet!! when are you gonna put that dang scoop on???!!!!! hurry!! just kidding! looks sweet man! i like that trailer.. :thumbsup:

Wes

You mean this scoop? The Hilltop Pro Mod scoop is now set and Futured in place! The real fun will come when the trailer gets finished and pulled around the track.

Weight should not be an issue with this AFX chassis after it gets a bath in that Nuther Orange stuff, new brushes, springs, pickups and a tiny bit of that red Oil. Heck AFX Semi Trucks can pull a full sized trailer so, this should be a walk in the park.

This thing looks mean from any angle. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aadesto9.jpg

Hey Joez the Radio Flyer idea might just be the ticket with a Matching Dodge decal on the tailgate. I have some real nice smaller letter decals that Rob has been making as of late. Picked up some tiny ones and then the next size up from that. Uuuuuuuuuuuum Decals Rule! Will have to go search the net for some pics of Radio Flyer waggons & see what my brain thinks. :confused: Thanks for that great idea.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aadesto10.jpg

Under this pickup box is a carfully splattered glob of pOSter PUtty holding things together. If there is one thing my Dad smashed into my head while building 1/24th scale models, it is that checking part fittment is important. Have a couple of ideas after standing back and taking it in.

I'm VERY lucky that my Dad went all out in his builds and that ability & desire were transfered over to me. A steady hand helps also but, confidence is a key factor too. The kids always tell me the answer to this question now. Hey what can Can't do guys? Can't can't do anything.

I do know that when the axle goes into place (using GOOP) I will have little blobs of Poster Putty under the front and back edges to keep the ride hight and straightness in line while everything cures.

Bob...Trailers don't take gas...zilla

Little truck looks the business now!!!! Scoop made a big difference.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aadesto8.jpg







Hey Bob...you got a good deal on that truck...zilla, I likes it!!! How'd I miss that one on the auction block??? :( That scoop looks like it's been there from the factory, nice work :thumbsup::thumbsup: RM

snip.... Thank God his mind isn't being used for evil purposes!!!!:devil: :tongue::eek::lol:

Something we can neither confirm or deny at this time.

Sweet Bob!

Since that Dodge has gone through two scoops, maybe a little plug for Raisin Bran is in order?? Nice job on the LRW, and the trailer will be equally cool for sure!! :thumbsup: I watched that truck on the bay, but the funds weren't there to snag it. Happy it went to a great home!! :thumbsup:

Bob... I have Raisin Bran Decals!!!! nd

NICE TRUCK!!!!!

Bob... I have Raisin Bran Decals!!!! nd

Kewl...............2 scoops....hahahahaha Now just put 2 Dodge Pickup Cabs together back to back with hoodscoops on each one of them.

Bob...sometimes fun just happens ( this truck is fun! )...zilla

Bob,
Sweet looker! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

bob - thats it!!! now its more sweeter looking truck!! :thumbsup:

Wes

bob - thats it!!! now its more sweeter looking truck!! :thumbsup:

Wes

It's Origin comes from a Huge Mopar nut...oh wait that's you. Only Westoration could have dreamed up such a creation. :cool:

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/aadesto111.jpg

I decided to go with this set up for the rear axle assembly. An AFX Semi Trailer rear axle pivot with the rear axle supports snipped off with some scissors and a touch to the fingernail file...Bam!

A little flat plastic stock underneath this axle part and then the trailer tounge ( :tongue: ) building starts. Aaaaaaaaaaaah then the hitching aparatus will need to be functional and hook up to the Dodge without falling off.

Bob...still having fun...zilla

Hutts are like dogs and dogs love trucks! This Hutt loves the Wes-Zilla Lil' Red Wagon of Doom that is shaping up here. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

One can only imagine what will lurk in the trailer... :freak:

I don't know what you're planning for the hitch Bob, but the first thing that came to mind when you mentioned it was a cheap jewelry clasp and loop, like from a cheap necklace. This way you can hook and unhook the trailer, and it'll stay together around the track.. Just an idea to throw out that way.. :rolleyes: Still trying to think of other methods....

Well the kids wanted to play outside, took Bree to a B-Day party which kept me in the Phsssssssssssssssting garage for a while now. That is O.K. because, this van needed a orange stripe painted on it & detailed out. Decals & the Kazillion parts this thing has will go on after it sets for a few days and dries.

UjOE,

For the trailer hitch I plan on using a very small ball and cup mount that they use on smaller Remote Control cars for ball joints. If that doesn't seem to work then, your 25 cents gumball clasp (I have one Mint NOS in the package) will be the next thought of how to do it. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the clasp suggestion and please people never stop throwing these ideas out there because, 50% of the time I need them to finish a build.

Bob...I realy want to spray some red soon...zilla

R/C ball and cup is a most excellent idea. I've seen them.. they ought to work perfectly!! How does he come up with these ideas???? :freak:

Bob,
You are the rust master! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

RUST-O-LOVE-UM ! :thumbsup:

Bear:wave:

BobZilla, for all you do, this rust's for you:

Ha! Not what ya thought it'd be! Hutts can be tricky given the galactic gangster vibe going on...

Nice finish Bob...are you sure yer name ain't Rusty...Zilla. :thumbsup: nd

Rusty Van!! :thumbsup:

Wes

TOO COOL FOR WORDS!!

BOB. What shad of RUST is that any way? :thumbsup::thumbsup:GK

BOB. What shad of RUST is that any way? :thumbsup::thumbsup:GK

guidepin,

I use Testors Leather brown or Testors Rust with some flat black and sometimes throw a little flat red into the mix. lots of dabbling and going back and forth with colors till it looks ......................RUSTY! :thumbsup:

Thank You for all the rusty Props guys. Am having a blast with this van and will post more pics up this weekend. Wait till you see the headlights.

EDIT & ADD: O.K. Here is the picture of the headlights. They came off of a diecast VW Van.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabvan1.jpg

MKING sent me me this little Godzilla as a suprise in the mail. I love it! Thanks Mike. Also the Roach was from Doba in a bug surplus ship out to help keep this Godzilla Mini Me fed. Now they are both in my Avitar....I love you guys man...:cool:

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabugger3.jpg

This is keeping the V-8 original theme but, dah pipes are a moving.

EDIT & ADD: Uuuuuuuuuuuum I have been up till 3:30 messing around with this thing and got the pipes and some of the decals layed down. Also dabbed flat black paint into the dish rims (took tires off of coarse) and then quickly shoved a wad of paper towel into the rim opening and spin it. Bingo-Bamo!

These pipes are the same velocity stacks that got used on the Rusty Mercury Sled (see post #63 for more on this Dollar General 75 cent find) several post back. Just cut them in half and then sawed a groove in them to fit nicely over the bottom body edge. Some quick & easy removal of bottom edge Rust and Super Glue...ta da! Vrooooooooooooooooom, vroooooooooom, Screaaaaaaatch!! The pipes got the same black treatment as the rims...detail, detail, detail.

Bob...I am having the time of my life building fun little Custom cars...zilla

So when they look that fast, do they rust quicker? :confused: :tongue::tongue:

May it Rust In Peace

that is certainly no rust bucket :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob. I don't know how RUST can look Soooooooooo Gooooooooood? :thumbsup::thumbsup:GK

Very cool! I feel the need to make something rusty now!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. The trick to rusting is to pour you paint on a paper plate or piece of paper. This lets the paint partialy dry and then start dabbing and dabbing till it looks right. You may need to keep going back and forth between black and browns before you get a build up and the look you want.

Here is the HotWheels Jeep I picked up the other day. It is getting casted someday. Will be just like claying up windows. Then an interior is getting molded up also.

This one is going to get me to start messing around with some brass & solder extended front ends for sure. The short stock versions will be wanted also so, plan on casting it in the short version with the hood hole & screw post for the stock look.

If anyone else is interested in casting this body up feel free. I won't call you a copy cat and that will be less casting of bodies for me to do. :D

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabweep3.jpg

This still has a little work to get done before it is ready to cast up. Just wanted to get the major work out of the way and was curious if it would fit....oh yeah! Dremel has been berry, berry good to me.

Bob...looking forward to having a t-jet jeep...zilla

Jeepers creepers!!! That ought to be a cool casting all right!!! Paging Dr. Grunge!!

Very Cool Bob! Love the Rat Rod Van! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hawkeye eat your heart out :lol:. That'll make getting around camp faster .... "incoming wounded" ....... "gotta go" ......... ZZZOOOooooommmm

Well clydeomite mentioned in my original posting of this picture in the Customs thread that it looked like this policeman had a donut stuck under his nose. That hit my funny bone pretty good and also made me hungry.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabgrowl3.jpg

So this is my "DONUT STORY"...

I have this week off because, of a Belly Button Hernia so, I decided to stop by the local donut shop in Gretna and pick up some donuts. Mmmmmmmm 2 down and 2 to go. :)

Well this picture was taken of the donut shop right before going in to make my donut purchase. With the K9 slot car in hand I explained my purchase to the very friendly gal at the counter. She just laughed and was very excited about the slot car. I explained about HT a little and told here that this was for a photo shoot to post up.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcal1.jpg

Then all of the sudden she laughed again with a big smile and told me I had better put my slotcar away. hahahaha There was a Police Officer walking in. Well he seemed like a nice guy so, I showed him the K9 car and explained the donut stuck under the nose deal. He smiled and laughed as well.

As I left I took this picture of his cruiser in front of the donut shop. This just proves that Police realy do like donuts. LOL

Me too so, there you go. My Donut story.
