Here is the willysrodcobra as promised. It now has a coat of primer and I'm thinking about casting it before I go any further.

SWEET! is it for afx or tjet?

Wes

I'd like to see some more pictures at different angles.

Hey if you want more than one of these then stop thinking...great car.

Cool concept :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Well I finally got around to finishing this custom. I've spent all my time working on my layout recently (see Carolton Road Course in track building), but now it's done so I can move on to other things. I really wanted to cast it but my casting supplies have gone bad. I call it the Wilbrod (WILlyscoBRarOD). It has Willys fenders, a Cobra body and a Hot Rod hood.

hojoe,

Great to see this one done up in paint now. Blue by YOU.....zOOOOOOOOM baby! It looks great pictured on your Carolton Road Course layout. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob...there isn't another front end like that in the world (cool)...zilla

Thank you, everybody is always talking about Dupli-Color so I thought I'd try some. This is Medium Quasar. This paint works so much better than Testors.
hojoe

The triple threat. :thumbsup: nd

Interesting concept! Looks kinda like an Allard from the front.

Looks kinda like an Allard from the front.
That's what I thought.

"Allard" was the word that popped into my head.

Cool...

Here's my latest. It's a Dash Falcon with screw on AJ's on the back. It's got a mean green arm, Dash magnets, Thunderbrushes and a lightned idler gear from RTHO. This one really screams. As I've said before, I like cars with engines sticking out of the hood, and this one certainly does. I can't wait to see what it will do on Fordcowboy's drag strip.

This is Falcon 2 ready for taked off....come in Falcon 1 do you read? Copy that Falcon 2 meet up with blue eagle at the rondevue point....roger that

fordcowboy sounds so much better than fordpizzaguy...Have fun at the dragstrip guys!

Bob...that Falcon looks fun!...zilla

I always liked the Falcon body!!! I remember cutting up a grey one, Doh!!! That's a lot of engine HoJo, might need some heavier springs up front, lol...Thanks for the cool pics!!! RM

it'll stay in the slot,that's for sure!

Don't go under any low overpasses with the Falcon! Great work on the Falcon & Carolton Road Course!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

You need to add wheelie bar!!!!! there is no way that falcon will stay on road!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

"Old school charm" Very cool. Go the Fords!!!

This was my inspiration for the above Falcon.
hojoe

That is something special.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

That is one good looking Falcon, I likes that body style. I've had a few of the 1:1's, nothing that nice!!! RM

That's a wicked 1:1 version! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Like I've said before, I'm a fool for Falcons. When I saw this Falcon Panel in another thread I had to have one. This is a GlasTech body. I also got the trailer from GlasTech. The pickup is a RRR that I already had.

While I was putting the decals on the Falcon, I thought I'd have some more decal fun. This is a Pinto that I picked up at the spring St. Louis show.

Also I did up three Dodge 330's from AW. I know the white and yellow come with there own tampos, but I felt there was room for more. The turquiose one had no decals at all. I allways have a good time putting on decals, even though the little buggars can get frustrating. Making a car your own gives a sense of acomplishment.

P.S. Nice work with the rest of the fleet too!!! I like that pickup...

hojoe,

Love all the decal jobs. Yeah decals make them more personalized and fun to run. :woohoo:

GlasTech realy puts out some neat stuff! That isn't the purple I love you, you love me Barney of Barney's Tire & Garage is it?

Your pics look great with your layout as your backdrop. Awesum cars and trucks! Seriously this batch of customs looks right at home on your layout. Kinda like a movie.

Bob...digging the little Pinto in black...zilla

Agreed on the pinto in black!!!! And the falcon and trailer!!!! You have to be careful talking about decals around Bob...I can decal anything and make it look good...Zilla!!!!!!! It's puts him in a decal frenzy, and Ginger gets scared!! :lol:


Great work hojoe!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great work hojoe!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob...didn't tell Ginger & don't you either...zillla

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great builds with the Falcon & Pinto's !


Neal :dude:

Here is my latest. It's a RRR '57 Ford fairgrounds. This is my first attempt at a two tone. I used Micro Mask on all the parts I wanted to stay white. The side lines weren't to sharp so I put some pinstriping tape on the side. The paint is Dupli-Color Medium Quasar. I'm thinking about adding glass and rinestone headlights.

Nice!!! Two tones are tough, but well worth the extra effort!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Really nice work!

That's a nice ford car!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Great looking '57 Ford! :thumbsup: Great detail in the garage background. A little trivia: in 1957 the '57 Ford out sold the '57 Chevy. ..RL

Hey Mr. hoJoe,

Straight from the "SHOW ME STATE" Thanks for showing this 2-tonner man! :thumbsup:

Bob...Gotta love those body lines...zilla

hojoe

willysrodcobra unique, very creative kit bashing, looks real close, nicely done all round

Great build on '57 2 tone Ford ! Keepemcoming !!!:thumbsup:


Neal:dude:

:thumbsup: on the 57. Unreal on the Ford . . .

Cool Ford HoJo!!! For some reason a 57 Ford always reminds me of the movie "Thunder Road" with Robert Mitchum, a classic...RM

Last month I got a '29 Woodie for 2 bucks at the flea market. Since I already have one, I had to figure out what to do with it. Since I'm basically a tjet guy I went this way.

After modifying the chassis, I had to figure out how to rig up the pickup shoes.

more later
hojoe

I decided to go with the old Auto World Racing Speed Secrets wheelie pickup rig. I don't expect it to pull wheellies, but the rig will get power to the chassis. I wasn't getting the shoes to make good contact so I added braid to make contact.

Nicell done of the 57 Ford, 50s cars lends themselves to 2-tones . . .:thumbsup::thumbsup:
