Im borrowing the idea from everyone that has 1 thread for their cars an will start posting all mine in one thread instead of multiple
To start this off, Lets have a look at the new Intimidator Limited edition NO PAINT resin cast. I kinda like these !!!!!!

Not the best pics to show the color, was hard to get a good angle with the sun going down

It's great to see a new shop open in these difficult economical times!!! The guys at "ICS" seem to be off to a good start, with custom painting and custom fab work :thumbsup::thumbsup: Hope the work holds up with more customs...RM

It's always great to see a new shop open for business!!!! That mustang is going to look good in any light..:thumbsup: And the paintless bodies is a cool idea! :cool: I'm itchin' to get my molding supplies and start doing some bodies myself, and these just make it more so!!!! Best of luck to ICS!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Good plan Kevin. Another new channel on "slot-a-vision".

My stuff was always scattered all over the place. Randy came along and kinda started the run on thread and I of couse said, "duh! Why didnt I think of that long ago?!"

I've always felt that it really helps maintain continuity.

Well the boys decided to head out back to the Intimidator Salvage yard an came up with an interesting concept for a tyco wheelie car. The boys found an nice 57 chevy front an rear end from a broke resin cast an a tyco regal that had been butchered by the previous owner an decided to graft the peices to the regal, Here is where they are ATM

Glad, to see NEW shop opening and another new thread to follow. Kevin, great custom paint on the Stang and nice grafting job on the Regal-Chevy wheelie car. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

Can't wait to see that one painted! :thumbsup: rr

Man with all these grafting builds, I gotta send the boys back to school, to take some classes. It's hard to keep up with you guys!!! Wow, a midyear 57&1/2 Regal. Great work...RM

The "easter egg" cars I posted in another thread were painted that way for a reason....... "Easter Eggs" ala Black light:woohoo:

Great soundtrack for this message!! I can't wait to see a hippy dippy swirly paint job in flourescent!!! Go ahead, Kevin!! I still don't have the bodies or the paint to try mine, and I'm dying to see how they look... Just remember..warm water and the thinner the wire you use to swirl the paint, the thinner the bands will be. Too much swirling and it'll start to blend the colors. Good luck, and post results!!!

I wish I could All my florecents are acyrilcs, Im gonna have to buy some in testors enamels

Love the Neon Glow cars in black light and the Wheelie car is looking good also....will be back.

Bob...Great stuff here...zilla

Ok the 57 grand national is still on the back burner when I didn't like the color I painted it the first time I stripped it an repainted it. When stripping all the strips didn't come off an After resanding I thought I had them smooth enough so you couldn't see them in the repaint. WRONG!!!! so Now i need to wet sand an repaint.
The Saleen is another story, after the paint fish eyeing the first two paint jobs I had the third looking sweet, A nice candy orange(Bob...I LOVE HOOTERS....Zilla would have loved the color due to it being close match to hooters orange).Well bring it upstairs to sit on my desk an dry.......... I DROP IT on CARPET !!!!!!!!!!!! *@$&*$.....@*$*^&*^%@.........*&%#&@(<<< Won't subject you to the words I used :p) Anyway it has been restriped an primed an needing a little more sanding. I think Im being cursed to not have a Saleen I cast, coach has the only finished Saleen Ive made :thumbsup:. Im not in a hurry to get back to those 2 ATM
This caught my eye while downstairs, A 57 nightglow tyco that had been decapitated. HUMMMMMMMMMM Chopped an Lowered 57(will be posting it in the lowering thread as well )!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are the pics of what I have to work with look at all that room with a chassis on I have to work with. This should be 1 LOW 57 !!!...... To Be continued

Attention Tom Lowe!!!! Do you see that back bumper??? That's a hayl of alot closer than that gargantuan thing you released!!!! This should prove interesting!!! There is pleny-o -slamming room on that puppy!!! :thumbsup:

UtherJoe

Some "black max" ca glue to hold the back part of the roof pillars I had left then skimmed with that famous "goop". Front pillars I cut a piece of the area the pipes use to attact to that I removed an "gooped" inside the body an will put a few more coats of "goop" to build up the material I can mold into a front pillar. Now time to sit an cure

That is one low roof :thumbsup::thumbsup: I like it.

I pulled up the previous post and suddenly started hearing Ina Godda Da Vida...

yeah where's my strobe candle...guess it is with my lava lamp

Well I discovered "Goop" WILL attack certain Tyco plastics, The glow in the dark bodies. Using a bottle of "goop" as weight to hold the roof in place leaked some, An ill be darned it softened the plastic. This is a good thing though, Roof needs more work now but I can "goop" it :D
So the 57 sits to cure an onto a new project in the meantime. A true custom!! I love this body style of the HW i stripped for the rims an motor an wanted one to fit a slot car. After a few days of strene "gooping" an a little sanding here is where im at. This will fit a tyco slimline, but I still have lots to do. Im doing this in 2 pieces so I can mold a piece around the traction magnets

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/GoodwrenchIntimidator3/100_1038.jpg

Want one!

Nice Rat Bomb truck and sorry to hear about the 57 GLITCH. I know it will all work out so, will keep stopping in from time to time to see what's new.

Bob...trucks are cool...zilla

cant wait to see the truck done!!

Wes

The 57 is doing great, still curing an was able to sand the "goop" off

Truck is going together smoothly an will post pics of it soon

Also a couple HW's that may make it into a rubber mold, I love the Studebaker an the old 50's chevy truck, The truck will take some work to fit on a chassis if I decide to mold it. Ill have to shorten the bed to make a stock wb line up

I like the Boyd colors.
Great looking paint work GW.

How come those Saleens look so good in Boyd colors? I did mine in ChaZoom Teal.

Hooters Saleen thanks to Bob...The most AWSOME....zilla for sending me the hooters decals an quite a few others. TY again Bob

Well the curse of the Saleen continues, Had it looking all spiffy an super nice, decals done an decided lets Krylon clear this bad boy as I have use this before on "Acrylic" painted cars with great results.But Noooooooo not on enamel cars. I learned my lesson it crinkled the paint :( But here is a shot you cant see the crinkling to bad. Doing this hobby is always a learning experience. I learned NOT to clear coat enamels with Krylon this time :freak::cry::cry: Live an learn. And to think I just purchased some Model Masters gloss clear lacquer but am wondering if I can shoot that over enamels now :confused:. Anyone know???

Kevin

Yes they do

On another note, The chopped 57 had a hole cut in the hood an a piece of styrene gooped in and a motor has been located for the hole

The rat rod truck has had the inner body ground for the chassis with traction mags in place an the roof has had some profiling done

Another soon to be rat rod pickemup :p Thanks to a HW"Crashers" plastic truck that donated its motor for the 57. The body was to tight for a chassis in the front, so after a little heating with a heat gun an pushing it over a chassis and making sure it looked ok we have this. These where on sale for $1 at Wal mart so I got 4 total but 3 different ones that had nice motors that would work for HO

Things are shaping up with the 57 and the rat rod!! Tempo's look cool on that crasher! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Kevin,

You are very welcome for the H:):)ters decals and glad you got to use them on such a nice body. Looks Great!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/GoodwrenchIntimidator3/100_1067.jpg[/QUOTE]

Hey try some Future Floor Covering from your local grocery or Home Depot store. It goes on clear and is self leveling. If you put some on this body via brush or dip it might just make things smooth out.

I brush all my bodies that have decals because, if I dip the decals tend to move or fall off in the dip process. I have been using decal set on all my decals lightly so, when I do brush on the Future it doesn't move the decals around.

Nice work on the trucks and Chevy. Will definitely keep checking back.

Bob...H:):)ters makes you happy...zilla

Hooter's and Genuine Draft.........anyone else see the humor in this:confused::rolleyes:

Great looking Saleen Kevin.
