If I could have it in 1:1 scale?

[hobbybobby]

If you could pick just one model out of your collection of completed built-ups, (remember, just ONE), and have that exact showrod sitting in your garage tomorrow morning as a full-size, 1:1 scale, fully-operational, keys-already-in-the-ignition, full-tank-of-premium gas, ownership expenses covered, ready-to-drive showrod, which one would it be?

Please post a picture of which showrod from your finished builds that it would be.

(Remember, this has to be one of YOUR builds; no posting of a John Teresi over the top custom... unless of course, your John Teresi!) ;D ;D ;D

Also, give a short explanation as to exactly why that'd be the showrod you'd want to have, "for real".

Okay, I'll go first; mine would be this:








Not because of the topic or the machine guns, (sometimes I wish those in road traffic...) to see rather at how this wild thing goes, and if I could get out to get everything, where are the limits on the machine, or mine... ;D

Now, lets see what'd you want in 1:1 scale!

(Sorry for the link but I've lost the disc with the pictures on it)

The kit still puts a smile on my face so a 1:1 version would have me grinning for weeks!

Great thread Bobby!

I’ve often thought about this. What I would drive to work if one of my builds were 1:1.

I would have to choose my White Lightning. I’ve always envisioned myself pulling into the office parking lot in this. This is one of my favorite designs that I’ve done, and it’s something I would love to drive every day. The only thing I would change on the 1:1 is replace the slicks on the rear with street tires.

That is a tough one!

I would have to flip a coin over these two:



or

[jim]

I would have a hard time choosing

the General Viper





or a Tribute of a real 1 to 1 that a friend of mine has

68 Hemi Dart

[bugaboo]

Well, it would have to be this one:





Simply because I love the design, and I think the wheels I used, makes it even better...

[ramone]

Don''t know if this is showroddish enough But this would be my pick!!

For me it would be the Li'l Coffin.

My cab over White Bud truck. Made from a Beer Wagon and lots of plastic. I have always loved old cab over trucks. There was a real one on ebay a few years ago....wanted it!!

This is a FUN thread. There are some COOL builds that I haven't seen before.
For me it would have to be my Stage Fright

[Deleted]

I'd take your Stage Fright too DVS!!!! I still have an add from the back of R&T with it for sale for $16K!!!

[flounder]

WOW! What a great idea for a thread.

OK here goes.

This is the one I wanted to build. I even found a company that makes a fiberglass body.

This is what Nani Asked for... I would be willing to give it a try. The engine and trans would have to be milder.

This is what will have to get built first:

so many variations in DOH, surprised this wasn't already done by Cooter. General was 4x4d and in the film had a modern Hemi fitted....

[colbart/colin]

How radical would that be. Red Baron rear engined with machine guns??.

so many models have been made 1:1, or designed in 1/24th.

here in the UK and elsewhere. Revenge C Cab etc.

Voodoo Spider comes to mind as well...

[chromecop]

Well....if it's supposed to be a "showrod" then I guess it has to be this one:



But, if I could choose any of my built-ups.....then I'd prefere this one:

[gfgcollects]

Okay. I'll play. I would like one of these...



or perhaps this...



Didn't build the second one but as soon as this mail strike is over I should be getting the snap version to add to the pile. ;D

[davea]

Hmm...that's tough! Maybe this one?

[plasticbutcher]

Well----it's a toss-up, these two, are a set "low level bomber" and escort. ;D
The escort,

The Bomber

[flounder]

Great thread. Make me think of Eldon Titus since he actually did build his favorite model.

It's been fun to see who picks what. Outrageous seems to be no problem with this group. Gotta Like it.

Rick - You probably already know that your truck is very close to P'od Pete that can be seen at the Jay Leno's garage site. Save your pennies.

Flounder.

[plasticbutcher]

Hey Flounder, you are right sir, I was influenced by that Pete, but I prefer KWs to Petes ;D and Allisons to Detriots, ;D have a good one and thanks for lookin

[oldskooljay]

Either this one



or this one

These would be fun to drive on Sunday afternoons..

[rocketeer]

What a great idea for a thread!

If it's got to be realistic, then I'd pick this one:



But if realism isn't necessary, then of course this one:

[TheMadModeler]

I'm going with these..
