i finished building my created body of my look, 41 ford chopped. i was trying to maintain the original roof line and back window. i chopped the A B pilars, but dropped the trunk line t about even with the rear fenders. this body i used the 48 ford kit and lowered suspension some th get tires into the wells. i also used the lovered hood from 48 and altered back corners to meet the cowl correctly. built 2/5/25 thanx

thanx guys, andy, if the rear quarters were rounded off with out a ridge to the taillight, i probably would not have seen this possible. but when i look at the pick from high on front corner, i see the roof line edge pickup the quarter ridge. we all see what we see and work toward. sometimes we drift one way or other at the y in the adventure. wrong road and its back in the box for a later look if were lucky. i had a visual of this and grab the saw. had a 49 on bench for a ute project, and nova body still from using chassis on another project, clicked, went for it and seen some of a mid 60s falcon right a way. but i always build different. not as detailed as some master modelers, its a visual for me. i make my resins for my collection. thanx for note. glen

first build for 2025 is my 51 jeepster body. this was made from my 53 jeep custom pickup. i used a 60 chevy truck chasssis i had built in parts box (altered of course), parts box seats in a 66 nova interior (also altered). tires from the mount n goat kit. parts box built motor, and boot (i had wrote 61 chevy under it}. always liked these at the car shows, finally could see one in my jeep custom truck body. created and casted jeepster 2/24/24. thanx for looking, glen built 1/22/25

my 2024 creations of builds, built of creations

thanx, and it can get very overwhelming even as i rotate thru different parts of the processes. i think 3d is going to change our hobby, but im old school and an ole doog. so ill stick with resin till its not fun anymore, along with spray cans. i like building what i like and try to get to what i see. ive kitbash and cut um up along time, these daz seems i like that part more than the building (eyes, patience, fingers have changed ) i realize my abilities (lotta years of playin with models) detail people are amazing in what they see and do, weathering, air brush, WOW! but im that visual person, not rivets, the look, flow. car shows for colors and ideas. even in my real first car, i didnt need to get there fast, just look good getting there. enjoy the building and enjoy each others. glen damodelguy -
very bizzy year, mines slightly different. i still love to build my creations, but i create my builds and cast them first. ive created 34 bodies that ive casted and listed, sold 336, and built 12 for the year. i have 40 of my creations i haven't been able to build yet. got to make time for more of that this year more often. thanx for lookin. builds are single car pics
-
very nice collection
-
finished up building finally another of my creations. 37 cord coupe built 10/9/24. i ended up building mine with the kit parts. was going to street rod it, and put a 36 ford chassis maybe under it with a v8. but the color, had it a rumble seat instead if closing the trunk and added a spare on the rear, felt like it needed a more stock look. thanx for looking, glen damodelguy
-
thanx guyz, was a fun build, if you wanta smile, build a model. they dont always have to be outta a box, i like boxez! slice n dice can lead to bigger smilez too.
-
well i finally finished a build thats been close for a while, but kept sitting new ideas in front of it. finished my 53 studacuda fastback last night 10/9/24 i actually built it using the 53 studebaker kit as donor. i did have the parts from the built parts cuda, so i used the windows and motor from it. thanx for looking, glen damodelguy
-
finished up my 58 edsel rancharo custom. 9/15/24 amt edsel kit was my donor, with alterations. had to shorten frame and chassis, side interior panels cut shorter little and cut lenght to fit. make your own windows. i did try a rancharo chassis, and it my work better, but i was trying to use the edsel parts since it was my donor kit. if it wasnt a challenge, it wouldnt be in resin. good luck. thanx for looking
-
so i started with the 34 panel and cut it, and added a 34 ford bed and 34 ford sedan fenders, once created, mold and cast and built mine with parts from a parts car 33 willys coupe kit. was gonna build with 34 ford coupe kit, but decided to build gasser something like one i seen at gnrs. thanx for lookin, glen damodelguy
-
finally got to finish building my created comino. kitbashed with a 86 chevy el comino and and one of my 51 studebaker sm window bodies. i used a built parts kit 86 chevy el comino as my donor kit for chassis, interior, motor. this built 8/28/24. glen damodelguy oh, for those that wonder how this roadrunner is pushing out pieces so quick. i have resins that i worked at interiors and chassis for them while back when i created the bodies. was up to about 27 i hadnt made time to build for awhile, and have taken about 5 weeks to just work on building. no creating, molding or casting in those 5 weeks. felt great! thanx for lookin, glen
-
steve, i made the red coupe in 2017 before i started casting. the 53 custom sedan and custom woody, i list from time to time. the 58 eldorado custom limo i showed in project, not sure enough interest to cast, still visualizing on it. thanx for asking, and all for looking.
-
finally finished my 50 buick wagon made from 50 fastback, and 51 pont wagon body, i used a 51 chevy fleetline kit as my donor for interior and chassis with modifications, hemi motor from my parts drawer. feels good to be building at some of my bodies again. realized we have to make time not find time to build. finished 8/20/24 thanx for lookin. glen damodelguy
-
this was originally a metal body kit but it seems to run like 1/26th scale kinda. not fun to cut up and clean up. 49 merc roof gave it a bad azz water bug look. well to me. used the merc interior and since i had the caddy kit i used its chassis. but i did play with the caddy chassis also. the color was a car i seen at gnrs outside in february this year. thanx for lookings. glen damodelguy

thanx guys, was a fun conversion creation and build. glen damodelguy

41 Willys rat rod wrecker
damodelguy phx az replied to mchook's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
very very nice, great choices in colors, weathering and wear, stance, purfect wrecker assembly for the look. looks like the complete coupester type chassis with engine may be under it. (main thing those kits are good for). really cool build, great job mark -
thanx guys, actually i used my resin 51 pontiac roof on it, because i wanted the chrome waist band under the windows. thanx again for looking i havnt built the kit outta the box yet. when it came out i swapped the roof to make a coupe. im just a DIFFERENT guy! THANX glen damodelguy
-
build of my kitbash, of a 53 stud and a 59 el comino resin. i used the studebaker chassis and interiors with alterations to fit. lowered suspension, since roof is 59 i could use the windows and 59 dash to help make the interior width. thanx for looking. glen damodelguy still need to find (forgot)some taillights when i took pick.
