What!?!?! No mustard and saurkraut?!?!? Can't wait to see the weinermobile!! This ought to be good!!! Those "train" cars look bigger than I remember.. How do them wagons line up with a chassis??? Almost Tjetible???

rr, Pssssssssssssssssssht this summer for both of them.

There was a Demo School Bus Derby on T.V. earlier tonight.



Saw that too! Wrecreation Nation! Figure 8 school bus races! That was funny!!

PD2:thumbsup:

Will check and see on the wagons and get back to you. Yeah a wagon would be a fun one to make for a t-jet. That is if they are Tjetible.

The weinermoblile is a hot dog from a toy food package that I just picked up from Big Lots. I picked up a High School Musical keychain for Bree and asked her if that made up for the missing dog. Yeah.... I know my kids. Bree wears a I love Troy shirt to School at least once a week. lol

Bob...My plan is to cut the hotdog in half to move both ends out further...zilla

P.S. yeah it needs some mustard and saurkraut for sure Uther Joe and maybe a Rat Fink driver in the middle with some Headers...etc...Yeah! Gonna paint the bun and Hot dog also. Won't be getting done for a while as you know I still have other unfinished projects to do first....all in good time.

Moe it is an AW Phssssssssssssssssht Gray & Black. Nice Ed Roth picture...that one always cracks me up.

This Bus has been done here recently & Ed (sethndaddy) did up a Monkee version chopped in red (I have it now) a while back. Now I am going to do my version of one of these to have some track running fun too!

The front axle hole was reamed out just a hair larger to accept the MM front axle and rims. Left the 2 nuts off to bring in the rims. Will put some springs on the inside of the rims to keep them centered and from rubbing on the front fender edges as it rolls down the track. It is a tight clearance but, it works just barely.

The rear wheel wells will be getting the Bill Hall round pencil and sandpaper trick along with some black tires to replace the yeller ones (I just like to put colored tires in my pics to drive certain people here nuts-oh...lol)

The rear post is going to be made using the rear part of the seats that has been dremeled down to position for the rear screw mounting. This will be gooped in with a post to make things meet up back here.

Will figure out the front post position and a paint job as this moves along. Thinking of a Hilltop 2-tone on this one...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Yep!

Bob...Hooters Bus-ted maybe?...zilla

Cool bus Bob...Can I ask where you get these??? ...zilla. I want a magic bus, reminds me of a song!!! I'd say that one will be Hooterized...RM

RM,

Here is a link for the bay... http://cgi.ebay.com/Life-Like-HO-Scene-Master-School-Bus-2-Piece-Lot-NIB_W0QQitemZ390024680453QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_ RR_Trains?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

They can also be found at Hobby Stores and are made by Life Like. You can do a search on the bay for "Life Like School Bus" or "ho school bus" and you will find some different ones also.

Bob...I have 2 more of these to be made as Stock ones for our kids...zilla

nice job kids...
all you need now is a figure 8 track for them cars...
come on dad it won't take up much room....
have you guys seen the demo bus races where one bus pulls another around by a big tow chain?

Woke up before the kids this morning to get more done on this H:):)TERS bus. The rear wheel wells have been round pencil sanded to let this body drop down over the chassis and give the proper tire clearance.

Will be working on this and shuffling this project between others. Will post more pics of this as it moves along. I have a few ideas for this that will help give it that Zilla touch.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aacrincle6.jpghttp://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aacrincle7.jpg

The red bus by Ed (sethndaddy) was my first inspiration to go out and buy a few of these bodies. Then saw another one done up here on HT and Bing, Bam thank you Mam my brain started to feel the need to Bus build. lol Ed chopped this red bus to make it the short version...hahahha That will be my next version to do up.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aacrincle8.jpghttp://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aacrincle9.jpg

This rear platform is gooped in after removing any paint from these areas and checking for top gearplate clearance also.

I am just going to let this all set up for a few days before adding the rear post to this.

Bob...just walk away now...zilla

Heck yeah, Bob! :thumbsup:

I have always had a soft spot for the bus. Odd, that. LOL

Awesome work again Bob, I think i used an exacto saw blade and grinding wheel on the Dremel, and super glue.
I like goop now.

Hee Hee Hee, Wes said boobies.

Dave

DOH!!!! Where's Otto......reminds of the Simpsons.......and I don't like the Simpsons much....LOL Great looking bus Bob.....i'm late for the bus...Zilla.

.....and I don't like the Simpsons much

A Simpson's "collection" without Kang and Kodos... sheesh. nd

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for all the comments on the H:):)TERS bus. It's a fun build that is needed to keep my rather small Hooters slot car collection growing.

I enjoy day dreaming of owning a Hooters franchise some day because, it will never happen in real life for this Po-Boy sandwich eater. lol Coach did send me a building that is going to become a ho Hooters on our layout. Thanks man!!!! :thumbsup:

Threw these parts all together tonight for my in the mix Chevy Pickup build. It is getting warm here this week in Nebraska and my Phssssssssssht finger is getting itchy.

Anyone ever do this before? If so feel free to post up pics here! This is going to be a Chevy Pickup (sweet body style) made from a Tomy GMC body. Using the chrome off of an AFX Chevy Blazer to replace the GMC with no mods except for removing the TOMY added raised print under the hood on the Tomy Pickup to let the clear headlight piece slip in correctly.

I also plan on gooping in the clear blue front and rear glass while leaving the side wing window in but, not the drivers or passengers glass to allow for some ho people heads.

Bob...I love me Chevys...zilla

I likes them Chevy pick em up trucks!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: ...especially red ones...RM

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aachevy4.jpg



Bob...I love me Chevys...zilla

Just a few years off, but it's close...I told ya, I like red Chevy trucks too!!! RM

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc196/kwikdeals/002-17.jpg

This is gonna be a cool build!! I'm staying tuned!!! Only taillights needed!! :thumbsup:

A Simpson's "collection" without Kang and Kodos... sheesh. nd

LMAO...I have Kang and Kodos on top of our computer desk. They are hard to stack up with the other stuff. The display is of an awkward size and the spires on top of their snow-globe heads also make it difficult.

Just a few years off, but it's close...I told ya, I like red Chevy trucks too!!! RM


Ooooooooooooh Man that would be a blast to drive. I love the color red and that is one sharp (clean and detailed out) truck!

Have to go out but, will leave you with a Hooters Girl Hula Hoop video. I have some "ho" scale Hula Hoops that need to go on the rear Hula Hoop rack of the HOOTERS bus!

Bob...I love H:):)TERS!...zilla

She can pour a beer and hula hoop at the same time - :eek:

At least I can pour a beer.

Wes,

roadrner and I came up with this idea of a Sub Lime PT Cruiser for you and he mailed me this body to Phsssssssssssssssssht and detail for you.

We figured you had about every Mopar in Sub Lime Green except for this one sooooooooooooooooo, will try & give this some Mopar Muscle Car look...if that is at all possible with this model...hahahhahhahaha What a challenge this is but, maybe...just maybe it can be done? hahahahahahahaha

This one is for you and is now getting thrown into the mix of builds here on the "Bob...zilla Workshop Show". Kraz had mentioned a way to paint windows that I may try. If I remember correctly he stated he paints the windows silver first then hits them with transparent black later on. This sounds like a great idea.

Win43,

I have your Wifes Silver PT Cruiser all done now and just waiting on one more thing before shipping it out. Will post a picture of it here in a bit. Now I gotta go and do some Sub LimePT Cruiser Workshop like stuff.

Bob...yes are you...Zilla,
Thanks for the update. Love the way those PTs are looking.
Jerry

Looking forward to seeing more!

First the bad news. Wes your PT Sublime Cruiser bit the dust. Tomy plastic didn't stand up to the Bob...zilla paint removal process (I stripped this 2 times before getting a good Sublime paint job) Oh man...

The good news is that the Little Red Wagon and Hurst Charger will not meet this fate and you will get 2 out of 3 at least.

More good news is that the silver PT Cruiser done up for Win43 is fine. Wheew...Jerry you are going to need a TOMY chassis to put under this body as an AFX just doesn't line up correctly at all.

Well it could have been worse. How you ask? I don't know but, I'm sure some thing could have made this worse...

Bob...Sorry Charley...zilla

Bob - whooaaaa about PT cruiser!! i am surprised that tomy body is weak man! oh well.. no biggie!

Thanks!!
Wes

. . . Well it could have been worse. How you ask? I don't know but, I'm sure something could have made this worse . . .

You could have lost a thumb.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: PT looks great Bob...uh oh there goes the paint...Zilla

Sorry to see the Lime one all mangled. :(

Bob,
What do you use to strip bods with? That looks like it hurts. Sorry Wes! :eek: rr

Oh Bob...you crack me up...zilla!!! Man that's a shame, especially after getting it painted. That looks like a stunt I've pulled before. Where's the glue??? RM

Bob,
What do you use to strip bods with? That looks like it hurts. Sorry Wes! :eek: rr

yeah boohooo!!! Dang....

Wes

Bob,
What do you use to strip bods with? That looks like it hurts. Sorry Wes! :eek: rr

I am sorry too :cry: Don't worry the Little Red Wagon came out great and the Hurst Charger is looking very nice also so, Wes don't despair my good Mopar friend. A PT Cruiser is nothing to loose sleep over...LOL :lol:

Well the weather here in Nebraska sometimes determines what happens here at the Bob...zilla Workshop and lately we have had a few Phsssssssssssssssssht days. Today I was able to paint up a Dash VW Van kit bottom half in "Metalic Stop Signal Red" and another "Metalic Amber Turn Signal Orange". Will be painting the Orange ones top in Gloss Black and the Red one in Gamma Gold. 2 others met their doom in the Pickle jar of Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah darn it all.

I think it was Video Jimmy who mentioned Turn Signal Red Metalic paint in one of his past threads a while back? This is a great color to paint over silver as it almost looks like Candy Apple Red but, with just a slightly different look to it. Would recomend this Testors paint to all with an airbrush!!!!!!!!! I had it sitting around for a long time and finally pulled the trigger. Man some colors are just magical....well it seems that way every time. :D I love to paint!

Bob...Hey ho to Iowa to get my Camera I must go...zilla

...Great, Shirley.....

Now where the heck are the pictures?:rolleyes:

...Great, Shirley.....

:roll: LOL TOO FUNNY

Bob,
Just wanted to pass this on to you since you showed your sucess with the PT Cruiser for Wes. I just put my Cruiser body back into the stripping jar once again. After the third time trying to do a three tone paint job on this thing, wasting alot of time, BMF and tape for masking, that's it. When it comes out this time, hopefully it won't shatter, it will be a solid color paint job. Nothing fancy, just a nice smooth and shiny job. Black BMF for the glass and she's done. Working on this one was as much fun as stripping the blue AW 55 Suburban. :freak: Time for a Bullet, maybe three. :rolleyes: Dave

That's a Silver Bullet for the non drinkers. ;)

The lighting is WAY beter than this vidieo show as, this is a rinky dinky camera.

Our kids let me do up a white Plain Label Beer car that is based of a real 1/1 demo car from the 80s that I helped my friend paint up. We had a different sponsor but, we did get some free "BEER" in white cans for putting their name on the car!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Deora and Bus project are just sitting in the wings right now. Don't worry they will get done when the time comes. I just want to get ideas in my head for the finished look. Sometimes you just need to walk away.

Bob...will post up more of the kids Demo Derby pics as more cars get built...zilla

That's a great looking batch of cars Fletcher and Bree!!! :) Nice job to both of you!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Way to go getting the kids involved Bob!!! Making them active in the table decoration certainly adds a level of pride on everyone's part!! Just remember, lil ones... don't try this without your dad there to help!! :thumbsup:
