Hey move that orange car...it was a 69 and on the wrong side of the street.

We told him were to go (nicely) and then 2 more 68 Camaros pulled in next to us.

The 68 Stock class (any make or model car made in 68 that is stock) is what my friend was entered in.

Newly rebuilt Big Block with about 400 H.P......YEAH SHE GOES FAST!

No trophy but, we still had lots of fun.

I got home at 7:00 pm and mowed the yard. Almost needed night vision goggles to finish it off.

Bob...this was better than any Holiday...zilla

Hey Bob...had a good time and was on sensory overload...Zilla, Sounds like a great time was had by all... It's too bad we're all spread out all over... dang... nd

btw: Did Dan install his chin spoiler with a Dremel and 5 min epoxy like I do with mine? :p nd

Yeah ND,

I wish you and everyone else here could have been at this show with us today...that would have been a BLAST! :hat: :) :hat:

I know that there has been lots of talk about a National meeting of HobbyTalkers in the past. It just never happens.
Maybe if we could make a list of Car Shows in different States on a thread with dates (next years dates)
Then people could post which one or ones they could make it to.
Some of us might actualy be able to make it and meet up with other Hobby Talk members.
Heck I know there is a Las Vegas show that would be great to go to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ORGANIZATION, pre planned...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :confused: I would give it a shot. :hat:

When you asked about Dan installing his chin spoiler I thought you were talking about Danny the Dash...LOL
No superglue but, he has had to replace it once already. BOING...curbes happen.

Bob...yeah my friend Dan ( DUH! :freak:)...zilla

That's one good looking Camaro :thumbsup::thumbsup:. I likes 2 the tone stripes plus that mean looking stance.... Smooooooooooth!!! RM

You are crank'in out some primo units Dave. Saw your posts at Pattos Place. Keep'em com'in!:thumbsup:

That Camaro is georgeous! My favorite color combo. The 55 is sweet too! Great work Dave!

Dang sexy cars, man! :thumbsup:
The 55 really talks to me for some reason. Probably the sheer coolness of it. Heh!

I am diggin' on the Camaro for sure, hey! Any guy can stuff a spec chassis up into a bod, but yours sure has the right stance. The stripes came out beautifully, too! :thumbsup:


Yeah, I love the red!

One Sweet Camaro & One Awesome 55 Chevy - stance, detail & display excellent!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

Thanks to all for your comments! Hopefully I can stick around and get to know some of your guys. I love this Modeling/Customizing thread. No BS and no politics. Just fun, as these little cars should be.

Cheers Dave.

Hopefully stick around? You going somewhere? Once you've started you can't go anywhere. Wether you like it or not, you have tasted the kool-aid and are addicted now! :devil:


Anyway, we need more of you mates from down below to come on board and play. Plus with a name like Dave......... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not much getting done here. Waiting on some parts to turn up so I can get some cars finished. Here's a bit of a preview of projects at different stages.

Bob...love the kiwi preview...zilla

Preview pix are always welcomed. Love seeing how jobs unfold from concept to actual custom. keep them coming. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Here's pics of the Woody evolving!!!! There's a pic lower down on the page of the Woody with nearly all the body work done. As with most of the cars I have done the original idea morphs into something else? I think that's part of the fun! The two tone Coupe is now the lime green one!

I'm liking this 40 Woodie. Will have to show this one to the boys at the shop...RM

Hey bob - pacer wasnt bad.. it felt weird riding it.. and my brother had a gremlin that always breaks down!! LOL!

Wes

I dunno Wes!!! The pacer is a pretty Funky looking car. Would be hard to look cool driving one of those!!!!!
Just playing around with ideas for a Blazer???

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/blazer2.jpg


Ideas??? Although I haven't "yet", may I suggest a chrome blower set up. I've also filled in the back side windows on a couple. Makes a great spot for your favorite sponsor. I also like using those "2 in 1" spray cans...And Oh yea, I likes that lowered look you got there KD :thumbsup::thumbsup: (had to make a note of that) ...RM

I'm thinking a sunroof with a couple nice gals from Hooters popping up through it. :woohoo:

Bob...H:):)TERS make you happy...zilla

LOL.. yeah true. about the blazer - two tone color? I think randy did one awesome job on it. I ll have to look at his thread.

Wes

Hmm.. Them tail lights (or the lack there of) have got my interest peaked!!! I just may need to hunt one of them down for dissection purposes!!! :lol: She certainly has curb appeal all hunkered down like that!!! A family of 4 (zombies) would fit nicely in there too!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Firstly I have to thank "Fordcowboy" for helping me out with this project. Thanks mate! This started off as a Tyco Ford coupe. Shaved the body down and screwed it to a 4-gear chassis. Smoothed off the body seams and tidied up the old body. Lime green was a suggestion from another HT member, and it worked well for this project. Decals are from a Mead brothers kit. Alloy wheels and inserts from a buddy in the UK.

There's only one thing that would make that Ford coupe cooler, and that would be working lights. I'm really not ready to progress past T Jet bodies yet though..though I am trying one out. By the way, darn good eye on matching up the body lines on that woodie!!!! That is so perfect, it's like they were made for each other!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

We may have to collaborate on a lighted project one day???? I know nothing about LED lighting! I have had very little to do with T-jets as well. Just started a couple of T-jet projects. The Gold stripping on this body was an option on the 1/1 cars. Learning all the time!

Same thing I was thinking :freak:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Awesum Lime build up! I love cars and your cars just add to the enjoyment of my getting to look at kewl car time.

Bob...looking and loving it...zilla

Ya know what Dave?

Since you've come to the board I've found a whole new appreciation for the four gear rig. That "Slimer" came out great!

Funny how we get stuck in a rut 'til someone comes along and makes ya go ....duh!

Cheers guys. 4-gear chassis are easier to find here than T-jets that's the only reason I have gone that way! I have ordered some AW T-jet type chassis and am looking forward to trying out some T-jet based projects. "Slimer", I like that!!!

Yet another 4 gear project!!!! Might have to change my user name to 4geardave????
