Good looking builds Ralph! The Falcon hybrid is cleaning up nicely!

Atlas HO stuff :) Just wanting to share with you, some Atlas updates. The Atlas conversion of the basket case '62 Impala, morphing into a '64 Ford Falcon is coming along nicely, and is being happily driven around town lately ;) But my latest Barn find, came to me by Pure Luck- ie being at the right place at the right time, and having the $$ to buy it because of recent income from sales. Anyway, the original Atlas Black 1930 Ford Touring Roadster is a very hard to find item in any condition, and this one was pretty nice, although it was missing the windshield(common to be broken off), but I've since made a replacement windscreen(seen in pix) from a piece of an old stereo cassette case, it ain't a match for OEM- But it keeps the wind out of the Drivers face :D

Great job on the K-2 car, a real piece of racing history here captured in T-jet scale!

Does anyone have an Vintage pix of the REAL K2 from the Front ?! I need to see what the grill area looked like, and how to paint it. Roger's diecast body has the correct Grill/Bumper, but I want to know for sure, the color to paint them to be authentic, as I don't trust the 1/24 scale Diecast models :think:

Bare metal foil works good on the front grill of this one

Wow, that car looks right!

Decided to go through your whole thread again, so I clicked on the first page. I noticed that the 1/87 scale Ford is sitting on a chassis (nicely). Is it a Tjet?

Well, the Shop was open again this week, as we needed to finish up a Project Build for a customer, so it could be given as an X-Mas gift to his lovely lady. Do you remember the Disney/Pixar> Cars Movies? do you remember Sally the Porsche ? Well, Sally has been brought to life in 1/64 scale, and is now powered by an AW Ultra-G Thunderjet chassis ! The body originally started out as one of those Cereal Box(Kelloggs)promotional give-a-ways (Pull-Back toys) to promote the Cars movie. And well, as you can see, the wheelbase was just about perfect for a LWB T-Jet Chassis like :handgestures-thumbup: So here's a little story board, showing the toy car(Sally), and it's progression into Slot Car Sally ;)
