Whats up guys, I haven't built in a long time but I have been getting back into the model game over the last couple months. Me and the wife just had a baby in November so I have been spending a lot more time in the house bored so I started building again. Here is a couple newer rides, let me know what u think. I am open to ideas and some constructive criticism. I bought an Iwata airbrush and been screwing around with it, but I am pretty much starting over after several years of not building, so I am trying to accumulate some different paints and different shit to get more detailed with my builds.
Got A couple Chevy's lined up. I got a bunch of parts that I want to send to get chromed for these and the suspension and grille on my green LS monte. I think the Impala is going to be bright yellow, and just a clean lowrider. The 57 Chevy is going to be a teal pearl, maybe a pearl white top. Any good ideas?
Anyone know if Little Motor Kar Company has a website?? I tried to find it but couldn't find anything. I got a bunch of parts treed up ready to ship. All I found was their address and stuff. Any input would be appreciated. Chrometech just looked like they were kinda high on prices. :twak:
Here is the Regal I was building to look like a hopper a little while back, had paint issues and had to put it in the pond. I was originally planning on doing it white and green, but found some of the old blue that I painted the top of my 1:1 Cutlass with and decided to kinda do a replica plus a few additions considering my 1:1 was a Cutlass and this is a Regal. Hoping one day that there will be a supply of Cutlass bodies popped so I can do a true replica.
Thanks Mike. I got a small fortune in the pedal car with all the HOK paint and flake that I still gotta spray on it, but its all worth it for the little ones! As for the Cutty, its long gone. Sold it a few years ago to fund my other project that is still not done! :banghead:
damn!! you need to finish the bomb!! body dropped is the mini trucker term for the rodders "channeled" right?! either way....it means body layin on the ground!! i like it!!
Added a little pinstriping with a black pen.. Its looks okay (been a while since I have striped something, first time trying it on a 1/25 scale, and with a pen at that!) I figured I can only get better with practice. Now need some BMF and clear coat.
I would have been pissed bro! I have had it for like 9 years, had 2 pumps and 13's on it when I got it, but when I started redoing it, I went kinda rat rod with it. Now its on air ride, and got chrome steelies with wide whites for it. Not lookin foreward to bodywork. But to answer your question, No, I am not on Youtube.
Yeah I was pissed as fuck,had plans of going moonglow ledsled with it,chopping the top 6 inches,installing a flamethrower exhaust.But now I'm looking at a 37 chevy truck,two blocks from my house,hopefully I can produce the $ in time.I thought you where him because he also has a chevy that yr.Im thinking bout doing youtube vids on my builds,lots of badass builders there like FastJimmy71,Dr Cranky666,and more.
Yea I have checked out some of both them guys videos, Dr. Cranky has some sick ass whips! Old 37 Chevy truck would be bad ass. I used to have a 49 Chevy truck but got rid of it before I ever did anything to it.
Uh, kinda and kinda no. Channeling is strictly notching 2 parallel pathes into the bottom of the floor that slides over the frame rails. Bodydropping is more or less dropping the body over the frame by raising the whole floor, so it kinda turns into one big channel. So kinda, kinda not.
You are correct sir, body drop/channeled, same thing, just depends on the peeps you are talking to. I have done everything on the bomb myself, but don't have a lot of time to be out in the garage making noise with a 5 month old in the house so its going in the shop in about a month to get the floors finished and maybe chop the top on that bitch, Im ready to lay some rubber and throw some sparks in an American classic :biggrin:
True, but with crossmembers, driveshaft, tranny, and what not, it is much easier to just raise the whole center of the floor and angle the sides on the outside of the framerails. Either way though, its all a pain in the ass and a lot of damn work.
So.. I got a Chevy dually promo wanting to do a slammed tow pig, but the Jada diecast I got to strip the wheels off of was just a little bit to big of scale so the dually won't lay out on the wheels. So it might end up looking like a donked out dually..hahaha. :roflmao:
Haha, I don't know what to put them on. They are a little too big for 1/25 scale, but they look sweet on the 1/24 scale jada diecast. I saw Mr. Biggs had them on a big rig in the first issue of LISM, looked bad ass, but I am not raping another diecast for the second set of duallys.
Ok I haven't posted on here in a lil while... Here is a box stock 66 Chevelle I am building for my uncle. It is pretty much just a replica of his first car.
The clear fish eyed on me a little, but I think it should sand out when I polish it. If not I will have to reclear it.
