Nice job. That didn't start out as a Cadillac model kit, did it? I'm not aware of one out there. Looks like you may have created it from a Chevy. If so, great work on the fins, etc. How 'bout some info on the build. I think this Model Car Sunday thing is gonna be pretty cool. Maybe give some folks some great ideas for the 1:1 stuff!

This is a one off model of the De Dietrich which ran the "Race for Death"
1903 Paris-Madrid race.

A model of each of the surviving cars from this race were made nearly 100 years ago

Here's a short story of the race:

and the model I own

Enjoy the day

 

What I've been messing with lately.

 

nice models guys! here's what i've been up to lately

i'm getting this hood cast in resin by ed fluck of drag city casting!!




and i've been building this off and on for about a month, its getting there!




also began chopping the 36 ford i showed here a while back...

 

Nice posts guys! Keep up the good work!

 

and heres the frame i built for my concept design for my 1:1


and another of my two lane blacktop clone


here's the frame for that roadster

 

'51 Chevy Fleetline
'49 Caddy fins
'53 Caddy rear bumper
'56 Caddy Dagmars
Cad V8, Sombreros
'49 Olds hood

 

Nice work everyone! I'll have to get my act together and get something on here.

 

There's also a resin chopped fastback Cadi custom that's cast by Freeman Cars. You can contact him at [email protected], but he probably won't be back in town until after SEMA is over.

Comes with grille, bumpers, interior, dash and the body:




This is a body, with only a rough clean-up of flash after it's been pulled from the mold. These are actually really clean castings.

Started another Big deuce this weekend...

Channeled, pinched nose, kinda z'ed front, ARDUN.

 

I built the intake for my deaths doorstep replica and mocked it up on the engine. The scoops still need to be shortened and canted to the side slightly. I also adapted the 12 spoke wheels to a revell front axel while still enabling it to have positionable wheels(not in the pic)

 

38 chev. Your deuce looks cool, especially with the Ardun carb set up.

 

any of you model car guys know where I can get a 61-2 chrysler kit?
I want to do a model of the pink freak, and I would hate to have to spend $40 on a kit for just the front clip.
Also any one do a resin 59 merc kit?

 

Model Roundup On-Line! Your source for the best model car kits on-line! They may have a resin version of what you need. Look under resin roundup.

 

I dont build em' but my buddy does, here is one of his:

 

i haven't been building models lately since i got the slot car bug. I have some Hamb style cars coming in the mail to build slots out of :O) but for now i'm hacking up some newer stuff to race.

they are 1/32 scale

Here's a repeat of what my wife bought at an auction about 2 weeks ago. Some kid in the 60's probably had a ball building these.

48 Poncho

 

...some more

 

I still can't believe that find! You probably don't even want to know what that stuff would ebay for.
You will have to do something REAL nice for her!

 

I have a few hot rod models that were made from the early sixties through the early seventies. Most are opened, but complete. Should I build 'em or keep 'em unbuilt?

 

Heres a few I posted earlier on a different thread

 

BUILD THEM!!!!

 

Not exactly a model, I just got this from a friend Vince Mosley. He is currently doing a 57 Nomad for me in this style.

 

Hi Guys,
Heres Steve McQueens Mustang in my ultimate junkyard

Mr dick

 

Hey guys, need some help. I am looking for just the body and doors for one of the Revell T tudors. Any one got one they are willing to sell or swap?? Maybe a swap for the same in 30 tudor??
I finally dragged some of my stuff out of storage today so hope to be building again soon, I just need that T body for the project that inspired the re-start to building!!
Thanks guys
