Inside staging area, where I get some ideas. Just various projects I'm working on. I have a much bigger area in the garage where the major work gets done.

This started out as a practice piece with my new airbrush, and some experimenting with paintcals.

I was just going to add some details and a wheel swap and call it done. Now I think I might make a light duty tow truck out of it.

HWs Demon stripped, prepped, and primed. Shot Lime Ice, taped off and the black stripes were added. Still needs some details and a clear coat.

It's going to get a wheel swap, but I haven't decided which ones yet. Any ideas?

HWs 65 Impala

This one is still in the what if stage. I stripped it and added some twin hood scoops,which are made from flattened aluminum tubing.

I might make this one a cross country road racer. I'll give it a ride hight adjustment and some wheels

On my bench I have the

HW Daytona spyder and Jada Scarface Caddy.

By the time I'm done I have hopes of having Crockett's Daytona and Tubbs's Caddy from Miami Vice.

The interior of the Caddy was a pain. It was tiger striped and flocked. I had to soak and gently scrape it all off then repaint it.:freak:

Now figure how to strip the bodies.:tongue:

The last time I did this much custom work was about 8 years ago.

Bob, you got a lot of work ahead of you it seems :wave:
Thats a good thing though. Your getting mighty good with them Demons too :thumbsup:
Snow Owl, two words... "Aircraft Remover". Great stuff for stripping cars. I need to pick up some more myself. I dont know Miami Vice. I need to check that out. I work nights so I dont get prime time. Cool idea though!
I have a few on the back burner but only working on one right now...

can't take credit on this one. your's gave me the idea.

Here's a pic of my Welly 2002 Dodge Ram 1:18 I'm working on. I'm new here BTW :) I did a lot of custom work to this, but my favorite part is the custom molded roll pan with dual exhaust tips. I just need some custom mixed paint to match the roll pan and hood scoop to the body and maybe some off-road tires with rims (if I get the tires and wheels I'll lift it) and I'll be all done.

Me too, especially today after carefully making a couple of cuts. It a good thing the law wasn't around; they would have arrested me for C.U.I.

Just a little something I'm working on. So far it's been stripped, and the hood filled in.

I recognize about 3 or 4 pieces in that mix... was meaning to ask what you ever decided to do with the Porsche 935 but it looks like it's still up in the air.

be sure to show 'em off when ever you get to 'em.:wave:

this is my first attempt at chop cut rebuild. filed off head lights filled in grill. waiting for jb to dry then more sanding. hopefully it will come out the way i want.

Newjon, that is organized. Now this is unorganized...and this after I cleaned it up 2 days ago. BTW. It's good to see that you use a towel to work on as well. It's saved my bacon more than once :)

Right now I have a mess...

With any luck I'll turn these two into one.
I do like this thread. Get to see projects and others workspaces.

I know, bad picture DSOM, but my phone got messed up. :(

Anyways, hmm, what does that look like? :tongue:

Ok I finally cleaned my bench, so i figured i better get a pick. Won't be this clean long! http://api.photoshop.com/home_cede893a1ea54cfca6085aa1ca2ba9b0/adobe-px-assets/32dc38e00f2b41519b77d55e4136bc18

Playing with Loctite, this is new to me. I like this stuff! I need to build up the running boards. Cut them from the base in the background.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w96/bob8748/Loctite004.jpg
Trying to keep the textured look. The ink marks are so I know wich side goes where. It will get painted over anyway. It filled in the gaps, one more side to go. Everytime I get going I get a kitten in my lap.

Bubble top Caprice derby car. It's been stripped and had a wheel swap from a Motormax '78 Thunderbird. Have a partial 4 point drivers cage started. Might try something new and add some interior detailing like a racing fuel tank and a battery in the passenger floor area. Still need alot of work done before I think about paint.

It's a start.

Here's one that I have been working on for a little bit. the boat has to be stripped and resprayed but I'm finally happy with the placement with everything. The blower scoop will face forward when reinstalled and I have to come up with some headers, but the exhaust will use the stock exit points. And for anyone that is looking at the functionality, the boat is running a V-drive gear box, lol. The engine and driver's position were swapped but the rest is pretty much just detail.... Hopefully it will come out nice, I really like this layout, lol

I like the flat black, but will probably redo it in a gloss black. I think it will look better with the flip.

The boat rig looks great, and I like the swap on the driver / motor. It really makes it more contemperary. But I have to say I REALL like those wheels on the Camaro! Nice work.

Love the wheels on that Camaro! Where did they come from?
