Hi,

This time I present you another creation of my friend Fred (a french ho sloter how can't speak english), a custom ford 32 hot rod.

He started from a old body he found on e**y :

And made hard modifications on it (pure hot rod tradition I guess...) :

Just goes to show you that Hot Rodders come from all over the world. Be sure to post a pic when it's out of the paint shop. :thumbsup: nd

To be honest, I'm more into classic gt racing cars (european but american too, by the way). Fred like everything's got wheels...more or less...so we have to wait he finish his car so I can borrow the pics to post here !

Nice job Fred!!! Magnifique!!! Hope I spelled it right!!! >>>Universal language>>:thumbsup::thumbsup: :lol:

Dimitir,

Looks like your friend, Fred, is a big fan of these hot rods - he has done a great job capturing the details, even down to the mirrors and blower! VERY nice! I like it when a modeler captures that much detail. VERY nice job!

PD2:thumbsup:

Nice looking build. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

We're getting some great ideas from our French Connection. Tres bien! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Fred has seen this topic, and understood that you were congratulating him, and he say thank you to all of you !

the french connection is a very little organisation...but we're working to grow up it ! gniark gniark gniark !!! ("gniark" : typical james bond 's bad guy laughing...in french ;) )

FOOLED ME!

Although the rear area was filled as the pix moved along. I thought we we're gonna go with a pickup at first.

Great stuff from across the pond!

Click on thumbnail for real sized images ;)

Bad links? nd

:o

I fixed it using thumbnails...I don't like the image hosting Fred is using :p

Tell Fred he did a great job! GREAT details and I love the color combination he used! Definitely a cool rod!

Thanks for sharing, as always, Dimitri!
PD2:thumbsup:

Very nice little car!:thumbsup: I'd buy that one!

That is an outstanding model. Who makes the driver and are they for sale?

:drunk::hat::freak::tongue:

the driver is based on the Racing legends ones :

http://racleg.free.fr/

but Fred heavily modded it to make it more "civilian". :thumbsup:

Excellent work!!! He did a beautiful job capturing the essence of the 58 Coker Tire car!! Great job!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

What slotcarman said...incredibly fun to look at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup: The rims in blue, the wave and everything else just make this a quality build up!

Bob...love the driver wave...zilla

Tell Fred he done good :thumbsup:. Nice color combo too. Thanks for posting the pics. nd

Hi,

I told him you like his work !

bye

Awesome. You guys have to come to the UK, pick up Andy P (Woodcote) on the way through, and come race with us :)

I hope to have enough money one day to go to UK, and visit USA too. :thumbsup:

That would be cool. There are three seperate plans afoot here for 'raceways', where there would be tracks for many scales under one roof. Hopefully one or more would be complete by the time you are in a position to come over.

Be sure the day I go to UK I'll contact you before, to make a race day ! ;)

in UK you're more into magnet cars, aren't you ? I don't run cars faster than tomy turbo (nascar class) and tyco 440x2 (formula one class), with stock tires to make it less "violent"...everything else is magnetless, more or less (custom cars, magna, tjet). I think magnet cars (not "rocket" ones, just sg+, srt, superIII, megag+, etc...) are too fast for my little track (13meters).

But I've seen cool sg+ videos (cordoba indy big track), I think it should be fun to try, on a big layout.

I add the new creation of Fred, it's made from scratch (styren sheet), a ford thunderbird :

Reminds me of a super stock drag racer a little bit. Very nice for scratch built! Don't think I could have pulled that off! You guys are doing great! Keep sharing!

Thanks!
PD2:thumbsup:

Très bien, Fred! Il est fantastique! Allez les Bleu!

Fred has hit another home run (baseball - scored a goal in soccer)! Fred is the Zizou Zidane of French HO roadsters and drag cars!

Fred is not messing around. I have made a few scratch bodies, and it takes time..lots of time and plenty of patience. Great job Fred!

Fred,

This is an inspirational build...Hmmmmmmmmmmmm scratch building...I LOVE IT!

Now that is one nice build there...I live to see stuff like this!

Bob...again thank you very much for posting pics!...zilla

thank you for him ! he appreciate it !
