Welcome to "The Bob...zilla workshop show"

Hello my name is Bob Hovendick and I will be your Host.

Today we are working on Eds (Sethndaddy) 1946 Ford by AW with a gooped in Dash 55 interior, Blower (cut down) by Maisto, Window & Convertible top boot from a HotWheels 40 Ford.

This has been in the works for a while now and thought I would share some of the build pics with you all. Will post more pics on post #2 of this thread "How did they do that?"

No longer am I keeping secret builds behind closed doors. There are a lot of funs things that go over my bench and they will all be shown here from now on.

Have never been very good about keeping secrets (unless it is to protect the innocent...lol) so, you may see something in these pics that will soon belong to you. Sometimes I get to keep a few for myself. Not exaggerating when saying there are at least 20 to 25 or more projects for others in the works right now....Many people reading this are now thinking this "Ooooooooooooh that is why my car isn't done yet." Yep you got it.

Am hustling to get cars sprayed before snow right now. I am a busy guy who also has a lovely Wife and 2 very fun kids and yes a full time job also. With construction slow down at my job, there has been no overtime for the last 2 years. This let me do more slot car builds now but, somehow my calculations let me over book myself.

Taking on to many slot car builds was easy to do because, building slots for other people is something that Hobby Talk has made me understand the whole "It is better to give than to recieve" thingy. Still like to recieve and build for myself but, it is a mind warp that keeps everything fun around here. Don't worry your build will get done. Just not today.

Keep checking back here and maybe you will see your car featured on "The Bob...zilla Workshop Show". LOL

I build an occasionaL car for myself between builds for others as, you may have seen my latest Shadow cars posted in the Customs thread.

Bob...after lunch more 46 Ford fun...zilla

'Bout darn time!

No secret that I love the customizing forum. Now we got the "Zilla-vision" channel!

What a super bonus!

Hello and welcome back...

First off the Bill Hall goop method was used to put this Dash interior in place. First thing I did was to goop it from underneath and set it in place. Walk away now!

Secondly look at the pics. This should let you see that goop is superior over glue (are you asking yourself now why don't I make goop?) .

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aaeddy1.jpg

Refer to the first post for information on what parts were used.

The body was simply turned upside down and then traced the interior size on paper to make a template.

First I painted the whole car Purple and then Walked away...After a long time (paint dry now) I used the blue poster putty to cover the interior to keep its Purple color for the seats later. Sprayed the front end yellow and removed poster putty.

When you paint the interior detail you can mess up with the seat & dash color a bit in the area that the black will go into because, when you go back with the black it will cover up any over paint. This way you don't have colors showing that you don't want to.

If you accidentally get some white on the purple part of the seats...take a toothpick (lick it wet) and rub till white is gone while paint is still wet! I use flat black here to finish off the interior lastly.

The 55 window & convertible boot in pictures above is not going to be used as it just wasn't right. The 40 Ford HotWheels I destroyed (YES!) works great here and drilled and notched a spot for the window tab to be later on gooped into place and paint will be scratched off and of body under boot location for a permanent joint to boot.

Bob...time to feed the kids now...zilla

You guys amaze me with your big hands and tiny cars and the patience to make all these neat little cars .This side of town a lot of guys that like customs are missing out on.

I will have to put the Zilla show in my tv guide .
Didnt notice what was the times and day of the week so will just have to tune in every day. l.o.l.
Like the little Ford very nice little car we had the 1.1 version of a 48 Ford coupe almost the same shape as the little car
Ran on 428 CJ power though not electric. l.o.l.

What a strange song that was from the B-52's!! But then most of their stuff was kinda odd!! :tongue: Another awesome thread, sure to be a winner and one no doubt I'll frequent regularly.. Sweet job on the ford!! I've been thinking about lopping a couple tops off, mostly when I see those Weird Jacks kits on feepay, but I never got around to getting them. Just to put the idea in yer head, since you are one of the paint masters here, I see flames but never see scallops, not to be confused with sea scallops! :rolleyes: They were as hot as flames in the 50's and 60's.. Of course masking would be a bear!! Thanks for baring and sharing!!! :eek:


Joe

With a quick Google search I found this....

Pictures of the real car help alot!

Pearl I don't have any time slot set up. It is just a hit -n- miss thingy.

Bob...Bill, Pearl & Joe stay tuned for more later...zilla

And they're mutating!!!!!!


http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/slotcarman12078/spaceballs2008.jpg


Sorry Bob, couldn't resist!!!


Joe

I love the pictures of your workbench as much as your builds ! Seriously cool 46 Ford Bob . Keep it going :thumbsup:

*snip* Just to put the idea in yer head, since you are one of the paint masters here, I see flames but never see scallops, not to be confused with sea scallops! :rolleyes: They were as hot as flames in the 50's and 60's.. Of course masking would be a bear!! Thanks for baring and sharing!!! :eek:

Joe

Joe,

Man you made me think and Bam I pulled out my SLOTROD65.com t-jet Hot Rod decals and started cutting. I Dig scallops too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop11.jpghttp://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop13.jpg

I am a non-profit organization (not even organized) and use lots of decals. So you won't see me playing favorites on this show. Nobody pays me to push there stuff & don't get any freebies either. Sometimes I do builds for people with products and trade stuff for builds but, that is just like buying almost. What it boils down to is this. Have tons of decals (some from old 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s 1/24th scale models, some from people who send them in a trade box, some I buy and my latest find is at the comic book stores from their bits box. Since I mentioned a couple of other decal people it is only fair to mention the Mead Bros. also as their decals are high quality also. These people back their decals up with a special white ink & sometimes use gold & silver etc. to make stuff that just says, Hello I am a fancy decal use me!"

Plan on putting some of Robs (he sells great decals on the bay) New Iron Crosses on the doors. They come on a sheet with flames that were used on the 2009 Camaro Prototype I did. He also sells Gulf, Shell, Jerrys Towing, & tons of Numbers....lots of great decals that people on HT use all the time!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop12.jpg

Now the process of clear coating the decals with Future and letting that sit will be done. After the Future dries the front end can get masked off and some red can be blended in here with the aid of my airbrush.

With some red paint and some low pressure Phssssssssssssssssssh from my Iwana airbrush this thing is going to be Sweet! I wanted to put some red in the front end of this Ford but, wasn't going to just squirt another fade in here because, then this thing would just start to look all Rainbowishy.

The crisp lines from the scallops were just what this thing needed to add that extra Bam to it. Will post pics up after the red flies.

Wes sent me some flame mask for painting a while back. Need to try these out on a Dash Lead Sled that I painted up silver soon. Can you say candy colors...I thought you could.

Guess I can work on a Gulf LOLA & a German Thing that are sitting around. Oooooh and a couple of Mopars...Yeah!

ScottD961,

Welcome to the program & stay tuned for another exciting episode of "Will Bob Spray the Red without messing this up?"

Bob...Know when to walk away, know when to run...zilla

Bob...I love your show man!!!...zilla, I have a serious question, will I have to buy any type converter box come this Feburary for viewing??? Please let me know in advance!!! I don't want to miss a single epsiode!!! Kewl looking purple46 with my favorite color on the nose, now how'd he do that??? Any videos available??? The Zillamaster at work or play, you be the judge...RM

THE BEST SHOW ON EARTH!!!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Hey Bob,
Great Bench Man!!! A worthy assembly line for such good product!

Rich

Wow! Great stuff. Keep the posts coming.
Maniac
Movie Car Mania (http://www.moviecarmania.com)

Suh-weeeeeet modifications Bob. Hot damm that perfectly executed fade is to die for!

Nice to see you expanding your use of goop too. I can tell yer getting comfortable with adjusting the viscosity. You floated that chunk in perfectly and it painted up so's y'ad never know....without sanding too I'd bet!

It's like you where never there. :thumbsup:

Bob - Looking forward to the next episode featuring the precision painting. I also appreciate the commercial free aspect of your show. LOL on the non-profit organization (not even organized). Although, I must say that your workbench is considerably more organized than mine right now.
Jim

Bob,
Great channel for sure! That workbench pick is great. Like that little green one in the middle. ;) rr

Bob, cool beans, can't wait for that lil monster to be here. Now I'll be checking out this thread all the time.

Bob, love the show and learned how to do interiors. Can't wait for the next episode! The 46 Ford looks great. Thanks for the decals. ...RL

DANG!!!! A great show about SLOT CARS !!!!!! WHERE' S MY TIVO??? OH wait......I don't have a tivo......quick how do I set the time on my VCR?? Will it work without the time being set....... DO I even have a VCR?? DANG hurry before the next show starts.... OH well i'll just wait for it to came out on DVD.

GREAT STUFF BOB!!!!! Seems i've seen some of those mutating things somewhere:rolleyes: Oh yeah I was feeding them to my "goats"

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DUDE. Your customs "out of this world" :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Whicked cool show Booby....I'll be setting my DVR up for it....3 Thumbs up! ( Joe loan me a thumb.. ya the one ya cut off...)


Dave

Ah! So that's where my Camaro came from! Sweet shop and cool idea about you sharing what you are working on Bob! With as much talent as you have this will be a definite treat to always see what you are working on now. Ever think of investing in a webcam and just have it zoomed out and focused on your work area? I bet a lot of people would hit the link to see what Bob was working on at any given time. Just an idea bro!

Thanks for sharing with us!
PD2:thumbsup:

Well thanks everyone for the Props. Was gone all day Sunday and now leaving for work.

The front window trim got painted up, the steering wheel got hit with some paint, and the rear tailights and chrome trim also. Future is dry so, painting the red is next. Phsssssssssssssssssh

This week look for a Gulf Lola build up & some more fun with Lolas also. :)

Bob...Stay Tuned...zilla

great work Zilla!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop14.jpg

Well Wes thank you very much for sending the Custom Hooters Hummer & Red Baron Porsche bodies. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

In trade for a couple of 2007 Charger paint jobs. One is going to be painted Sub Lime Green & the other Panther Pink.

Why Pink? Because Panther Pink is a Mopar color and also he gave me the freedom to pick the second color...har:freak:

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop15.jpg

I love the bodies ALOT Wes...you know me very, very well. :D

Builds from my Hobby Talk friends are my favorite ones of all.

Have a red Porsche just like this one painted up and was going to do almost the EXACT same decal job to it.

Love the Iron Crosses man & the Hooters Hummer is off the Wall!!

Made my The "Bob...zilla Workshop Show" rough copy Logo today. Just need to get my Crayons out and finish it soon. :)

Bob...Growing up sucks so, why do it...zilla

no problem man!! sublime green yeahhhh but panther pink? oh boy.. ok .. lol

Wes

Have you lost weight Bob? LOL

no problem man!! sublime green yeahhhh but panther pink? oh boy.. ok .. lol

Wes

It takes a manly MOPAR car to look good in Pink. It's sorta like the Robinhood, Men in Tights thing. When you're that manly, it doesn't matter what you wear. Well, that's what Martina told me...

Well glad to have Viewer participation here at The "Bob...zilla Workshop Show" & as you all know I am 1/3 nuts and 2/3 bonkers (like about 1/2 of the people who post here) so, feel free to add any visual & verbal viewer mail. (Hilltop this one is for you................. Uh Oh...ha,ha,ha...ha.ha.ha..ahahahhahahahahahahhahah )

resinmonger I can think of some "HOTTER" Tennis babes though. I see how this whole thing could turn into "Girls on Trampolines" real fast like. lol

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop17.jpghttp://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop18.jpg

The Yellow stuff is poster putty (I recomend the blue type but, this is what was in the garage at the time) and it worked very well. Expecialy in the curvy parts. All masking needs to be removed right after spraying very carefully.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop19.jpghttp://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop20.jpg

The hood is just sitting on here and needs to be pushed down after the paint dries. I used Flat Red here as it goes on thinner for a nice finished look. Once this gets a Future clear coat it will shine like Gloss Red and look Future Fantastic.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop21.jpg

Very happy with how this Scallop Phsssssssssssssssssssh turned out. Ed & me have bounced ho scale monsters back and forth between our houses a bunch. Thanks to him I have aquired an army of them that I use in some of my builds. This build is inspired by overly generous and thoughtfullness of a person I consider one of my very good friends on HT.

Eds builds are great and ended up winning his Kid Killer off of E-Pay a while back. Loved that thing from the first time I saw it in the Hobby Talk Customs thread. This thing isn't done yet....Ed we got some Creatures to put in here don't we? Ooooooooooooooooh Yeah! :D

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabzworkshop22.jpg

This was also a good time to go in with some purple to clean up some lines in the interior with a good quality brush. When I dip my brush in the bottle I watch the end of it hit the paint and keep from loading to much on it. Then brush some off on the top edge of the bottle also. You can always go back for more...to much paint and it will go every place. This isn't a race!

Bob...Excited is not the half of it...zilla :woohoo:

Wes

Wow! That's looking great Bob! And what an awesome idea for painting the detail - poster putty! I would have never thought of that! That is slicker than grease Bob...zilla! If ever I get the courage up to phsssssssh, I'll have to remember that.

Great show bro!
PD2:thumbsup:

I think I'm gonna like it!!! I've always liked color fades ever since seeing the movie "Fireball 500" and the George Barris custom, and now Bob...Barrizilla comes along. Tooooooo cooooool...RM

http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/fireball_500.html

Dang!

I go away for a few days and whamm-o! BobZilla has his own show?

Bob, Your projects are fantastic! :thumbsup: I will be tuning in on a regular basis, mate!

Bob,
Cmon, would you hurry up and finish that purple/yellow beast. Can't wait to see it all put together. :devil: rr

rr,

It just seems like it is taking forever because, I am working on Central Standard time...lol

The front grill and bumpers need some paint next.

Bob...Gulf Lola is calling out to me next...zilla

no wine before it's time ....

Bob...stay tuned...zilla

Just when I thought this show could not be any cooler... :drunk: :hat:

:thumbsup: Excellent Show banner!!! Now we just need to know what the theme music is going to be??? :confused: I vote "Godzilla" by the B.O.C....Of course we'd need to change the words a bit....

"with a purposeful grimace and a psssssst pssssst sound

AaaaaaHahahaha -- GOOD ONE! :lol:

Well everyone I wasn't trying to be a tease but, after going to our Daughter, Brees, first Basketball game today (1rst & 2nd graders) I went downstairs to watch T.V. for a bit and fell asleep for the whole day. A bug has been going around at my work and I caught it...oh dang.

Now back to our normal programing schedule...added some finishing touches to Eds 46 Ford earlier today.

The front grill was washed and whipped with some flat black and brushed the top part red.

Steering Wheel is from a Jessie James Coupe chop diecast and painted the outer ring to match the interior.

I always use the blue poster putty for everything. It is great for holding our little slot car bodies and parts in place while painting. I even put poster putty under the bottle that is holding the body instead of holding bottle while painting. You can just put a large wad of Poster Putty down on your workbench and then Plop the bottle (that is holding your part or body) down in it and adjust it at any angle for easy painting....the angle of approach and now shaky hands helps detail painting a lot.

This just eliminates having 2 hands that could shake while painting. Now you only have one...lol

I used some goop to hold this all together. Made sure that I didn't glob it on as that may cause a Gear Jam...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Yes Bill this is the red stuff...I know, I know...just used a tiny bit and need to make an all purpose batch of goop from a $3.00 slot father Semi Trailer soon...strip off all paint first!!!!!!!!!!!

This 1946 has been a blast to make and still need to add some Creatures to the interior of it for Ed and Future the whole thing also.

Bob...more to come...zilla

ScottD961 is getting a Bat LOLA made up as he has sent me a few needed things in the past. Plus I just want to make a nice car that will go to a nice home. Tracy is a great guy so, look for this one down the road. It won't be soon but,...you saw it here first.

Joez & I have been great friends right from the start. Well we send cool packages back and forth now and then. Joez sent me this Far Out "Bob...Phsssht...zilla" hat that will be worn during many Phsssssssssssssssssssht sesions to come. Just my style also...THANKS MAN!

The front and rear bumpers are on now....almost done.

I won this Van that Ed Painted up for a HOHT Charity Auction a long time ago. Just thought it needed more decals. The Iron Crosses in the green part are Robs and the rest are just to many to list. I kinda thought this should have a Video game look from the 80s with everything just kinda bouncing around here.

Bob...Until next week...bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzilla
