**special-K** · 10-27-2007, 06:05 PM

I have a couple pictures on my computer.I haven`t built any in years.But,I have still collected some kits.This is one I started,`49 Ford Club Coupe...

Here`s a nice camper combo a guy built.There are some builders on the site...

Here`s a vintage kit I just bought...

I won`t build it because it`s a collectors item.

cdowns · 10-28-2007, 02:04 AM

i made this one back in 64-65 or so the only one of many that i didnt sell// it was a copy of a legandary north east modified of the time a 38ford coupe bigblock edsel powered driven by mousey kempster// my next door neighbor built the real thing// handmade frame suspension tires rims even the hood was handformed out of aluminum

littlecents · 11-07-2007, 07:22 PM

thats a cool car!!

70gmcjimmy · 11-08-2007, 11:12 PM

Hello all,
This stuff is always close to my heart. I dig models, shelf queens and functional. Stock cars are the subject matter I prefer.

SpecialK, that is a great pickup/camper combo. If it wasn't on those landscaping blocks, it would be damm hard to tell it aint real!

CDowns, That 10 cent car is great! I think I recognize the tires (Well 3 of em) from some old AMT modified kits from the 60s. Everything appears to be carefully hand made with great skill! I was always dig seeing hand-made headers.

These don't really qualify as models but they were still a lot of work to just go wreck on a slot car track. They are about 2-1/4 inches long. The Devil Woman car is a loose representation of the late country singer Marty Robbins first full-size dirt track car. This was on his Devil Woman album cover from about 1963 or 4. He had raced TQs and midgets before stepping up to the big cars . He went on to dabble in NASCAR Winston cup quite regularly.

The orange one is of a late local racer, Roy Dean Liebig from about '68-'71.

I built, painted and lettered them about 4 years ago, and still wreck 'em when I get a chance.

Cool thread---Later---DAC

Great looking models!

**special-K** · 11-09-2007, 08:35 AM

Cool stocker ther,cdowns.I can appreciate the custom work.
Love those slots...1/32?Nothing like models that move.I`d like to set up a track and build customs just to cruise around.

SpecialK, these are HO scale, 1/64-1/87. About 2-1/4" long and 1/32 are normally 5 or 6 inches long. Thanks for the compliment.

67Chevy Redneck- Those are cool models, and I also like that blue! You do a nice job making those tires look "natural"

Here is a few more HO slots I have built.

Thanks,you`ve opened another window for my toy-loving mind to pass through.

**special-K** · 11-12-2007, 12:53 PM

Hey Littlecents,what kind of stuff do you like to build?Here`s the kits I have on display.I`m making it all GM trucks,but still have a few cool cars in there.I like old Vettes,muscle cars,hot rods,and gassers.Gassers are what they were running at the tracks when I was a kid.Can you say,"All Jacked-Up"?That`33 Willys kit is one I have...

Here`s one I started to build a long time ago and forgot I started it.I was pulling out my kits to set up the display and was surprised to see this in the box.

**special-K** · 11-13-2007, 11:07 AM
