Yup been Friday here for hours. Got a bunch of stuff I'll put up today. Probably do it in a few posts.
Reddog I am with you on the Midget, maybe even an early Indy big car, or Indy roadster!
First up a model I did of an early A coupe a few years back. Somewhere in this comp is a front shot, but I can't locate at the moment!

Those are nice pieces, Surf Monkey...that first one is really, really nice! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[whodaky]

OK, here's a model I have been working on this week. It is a present for a friend (Greg who has a body shop) who is 50 this weekend. It started life as one of the big Muscle Machines. This one originally had the injection hanging out the hood. Oh and of course I have made numerous other changes!
Someone one the board recently said that buying diecasts is cheating. Not in my garage, as I modify virtually everything I buy. But diecasts are great for people who don't build models! Geoff aka Whodaky http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/whodaky/PANEL2.jpg

[whodaky]

Here we go with some pencil drawings. These were not done by me. But by a young guy that drops in here to my garage from time to time. Actually I haven't seen him in a while. He does have a lot of raw talent and I really want to encourage his art and help him develop his sytle.
He traces a lot of stuff and adds his own unique style and alterations to what he may be working on.
The first image is actually a tracing of a Lance Sorchick roadster turned into a 5 window that depicts my coupe.

[whodaky]

Ok my last contribution for the week. Sorry to have submitted so much. But I think I have finally got this image posting well and truly worked out. This time some of my striping and a couple shots of myself in action. I photograph most of my work, but seldom do I get shots of myself doing the work. A lot of people photograph you when you are striping and occasionally someone will give you a shot of you at work. I kind of think it is neat to recieve these shots and of course for people to see these shots. Shows people that this stuff is done by a person and not a machine.
SURF MONKEY, YES TO MORE OLD RACE CARS!!!!!!!! PLEASEEEEEEEE

[G V Gordon]

Well since I am leaving at dark thirty in the A.M.. I'll add my little part tonight as well. Ceramic tile with one shot.

[Anderson]

Whodaky - I'd made a comment about "diecast being for pussies with orange cars" - maybe that was it? I was kidding, making a joke at Merc50. I actually hold people who seriously modify die casts higher than plastic modelers, that shits hard to work with and even harder to fix if you screw up! I'll be sticking to plastic though. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Those models look really good. Istarted a new project today...it might be finished by Sunday, so maybe I'll post pics then.

[crewcutkid]

Here's my 65 olds 88 early stock car- 425 cu.in. v8, hurst shifter, gutted interior, etc.

K&R, wasn't having a go ( is not my style) at who ever made the comment on diecast, just expressing my thoughts. I am a plastic modeler at heart just this past few years I haven't had the urge to do serious plastic. But have enjoyed the stuff I have done in diecast.
K&R your model posts have inspired me to shoot images of my models and post them here. Have a lot of stuff to shoot and post, both in palstic and diecast. Further more K&R I really like th style in which you build, keep it up mate! Geoff aka Whodaky
PS may as well post another diecast image. Two Anglia panels in progress. The one on the right is the yellow as seen on my earlier post and the one on the left is the one I am building for myself. Sorry Gasser guys no straight axle high in the sky stance on this one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/whodaky/ANGLIA1.jpg

[4t64rd]

Is photoshop art? Used a illustration from a brochure as a starting point for photochopping my next project 52 Ford. '65 Corvair bumper as a grill bar, bullets over parking lights, '56 Lincoln caps, some trim shaving, lowering, silver flake roof. But which color?

[Jester]

Ok kats and kittens I steped away from the Mack and picked up a badger for a couple of days....does that sound right....anyway here be my first attempt at airbrushing a shirt......my wife said to me aren't you going to practice first.....I said naaaaaa............learn as you go right http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Airbrushing is fun but pinstriping is still my passion.

Great stuff guys, Whodaky all I can say is, you have TALENT http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Finally 'finished' my T tudor project, and have started another car, slightly O/T but still cool, a '53 stude, tubbed with ET III's, five spoes and a HEMI.
CARPS if you read this, will the T be 'eligible' for the model car display at the picnic?

[Aushotrods]

Side profile of T

[Aushotrods]

The Stood. BTW the headlights hide the fugly IFS on the T http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The colour of the T is flat black, with i think humbrol Gold for motor, trim and wheels.

[whodaky]

Talent?. Me? nah just experience! Geoff aka Whodaky

[Toyghoul]

Great Stuff! Here's a couple I scribbled this week. http://www.geocities.com/toyghoul/blu5.JPG

[MikeO]

I have put this on here before but I just found a finished pic of it on the Ubly Dragway website. It could be traditional we did it ALL in my dads garage except the trans http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[crewcutkid]

Nope, not trad. Sorry.

[Steel Phoenix]

Fabulous tat! Some great work in this thread.

And yes, I consider pieces done in Photoshop to be art. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Are the submissions to the Friday galleries only car related? (Yeah, total newbie question, be kind)

Been doing a bunch of work this week but no time to take pix.House is in an uproar;new floors going in,furniture everywhere(mostly in the garage and under the patio roof)can't find the charger for my camera battery,my shop is an even bigger mess than the house,I'm supposed to be going to the MIS show in the morning,meet Shane who's coming up from Dayton Ohio and Joe Sulpy who's coming out from New Jersey,paint a couple cars,and about a gazillion other things.We just got back from my granddaughter's 17th birthday party(how did get to be that old already?).So I guess I'll post a couple of pics,one of which is a work in progress and the picture quality sucks(I shot it in front of my computer screen).

[safariknut]

a special panel

Steel Pheonix, not necessarily always car related. Everyone here can relate to any kind of creativity and we are always open to new ideas and posts from people who have posted here on the Friday art post. Hey they haven't thrown me off yet, so I suppose that must tell you something.

It should fit right in, no problems.

Been away so I don't have much to post this week, besides, I'm still sorting all my pics and stuff on new puter. But here's a photer I shot a while back.

Okay, I'll take you up on that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have been exploring metalwork for a couple years... blacksmithing, casting, etc. This is a piece that involves cast iron (hand) and blacksmithing ("ribbon").

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/SteelPhoenix/Sculpture/hand.jpg

And another view

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/SteelPhoenix/Sculpture/hand2.jpg

Not necessarily car related, but they do involve metal.

I've also started playing with found object sculpture, so I'll be posting those as they progress.

Where's Hami? And...I've been meaning to ask for a while...WHERE THE HELL IS PICASSO?!?!?!

I've got some stuff workin but it's not quite done. I was hoping to post it this weekend...not too sure now. Here's one little metal panel I haven't posted, yet, though...

[BARNETT]

By the way...Steel Phoenix, that's really nice work!

[surf monkey]

gotta repeat what i`ve said before about pinstriping...i dont understand it....until i see Barnetts work and then i get it....great stuff man

[whodaky]

Nice stuff Steel Pheonix. I work as a welder/steel fabricator and we used to have black smiths in our workshop. I always enjoyed working with them and seeing what the could do with metal. Either by hand hammering or on the big power hammers. What you have shown us will definitely be admired and appreciated here. Lets see more

High praise, indeed..thanks! I have saved pics of your stuff in my "morgue file" for a while now. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Steel Phoenix]

Thank you, Barnett and Whodaky. I'll have to photograph some of the other stuff for future Friday galleries. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm also taking a week-long intensive course on metal shaping at one of the art colleges out here this week. I'm really excited about it.

I picked up this neat little garage stool on Saturday morning, but it seemed in need of some more colour so out came the brushes and one shot......

[Carps]

Then I continued working on bringing my Humpy back to something nearer it's former glory, including a little detailing of the generator.....
