after seeing some of the other topics it made me curious on WHO on here actually builds REAL 1:1 rides not who drives a pimp ride but who on here not only fabs models but builds real cars in there own home/shop i know theres alot of people who have nice rides but did you do all the work or pay to have it done????

i myself am a 1:1 builder and have built more real rides then models and thats the main reason i got into models is my passion to build the real deal i do everything but mounting my tires on the rim everything else is done in my driveway yes driveway i dont even have a indoor area :biggrin: ......... so im wanting to know who all on here is turning wrenches on their real project by day and hacking plastic by night


heres a few pics of some of my rides

Up until 5 yrs ago i was a body man , front end tech, cut in , and painter ! I did that for 13yrs until my son was born ! Then the cost of child care started to increase around here so i became a stay at home dad !

Now i just do it here at the house or from time to time help out a few freinds that have their shops get a thing or 2 down !

i haven't done a car in about 3 yrs but i have been alot of bikes !

I'll try and find pic's of the last car i did !

2005 cavalier . it was the base model plain jane until i started on it !

i added the body kit , reworked the front bumper by adding part of the stock bumper to it to help give it a differnt look !

the car was blue when i started but when it was over here's what i finished with !

Now adays to amnt broke busters out this way when they ask if i still paint and i til them it cost around $3000.00 for a good clean paint job they start cussing ! The really belive they get their money's worth down the start at maaco for $289.00 ! So i alway reply this ! " It's right off 71 on the left !" Come see me when the paint starts fading and washes off but then it will be $4500.00 for the extra work in getting that ready for real paint! :biggrin:
