Well, I had good intentions, but this is as far as I got. It was going to be a Competition Coupe Made with a TJ Taxi and a Too Much dragster.

Entry #2... A long time semi-stalled out project that was dusted off and finished up just for this little old contest... Is it a rail? Is it a funny car? Is it a little of both? Those are Tricky questions. But that's okay, this is one "Tricky Fish"!  Trick-T/Stinger chassis with a 'Digger Cuda' body along with some scratch building here and there makes up the "TrickyFish"!    Driver is removable...  And, last of all, a little demo video of the double action hinge... Build up thread here: coffincorner.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wip&action=display&thread=8355Thanks! |

`T`fenderMy second entry, some of you know it, from the in progress, my fendered Ice T, hence the word play of the naming (Defender)...  The modifications: Fenders, ...top chop, ...tailgate closed, ...wired motor, ...exhaust system and exhaust tips, ...front and rear lights, ...two single seats, ...shifter, ...dashboard, ...wheels with machined and polished aluminum sleeves, ...front gums are made of an NBR laboratory tubing, the back rubbers are carved of a bicycle handlebar grip... The most part of the conversion way you can see here: coffincorner.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wip&action=display&thread=3590Now, its a good reason to put it finally finished... ;D Hope, you like it.

[glow=red,2,300]HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!!![/glow]  I built the “PANIC” Dragster using the Tom Daniel Trick T/Stinger Dragster kit. I removed the top rails from the rear frame section and refit them in place under the rear frame rails This gave me enough clearance for the lowered Turtle Deck. The engine was lowered about 1/8". The steering rod was moved to center. A fuel tank, fuel pump, oil pump, coolant tank with hoses, electronics, and fire extinguishers from Garlitt’s XXX Dragster were added. The Injectors, Scoop, front wheels and tires are from the Tony Nancy 22Jr kit.  I made the “PANIC” body a one-piece design. The rear edge of the “T” body was reduced by 3/8” and covered with sheet plastic. The Turtle Deck was mounted 3/8” lower.  The front wing was removed and the nose was tapered down to a point. A small slice of Bubble Top was cut off, backed with sheet plastic and attached to the body, to make the new cockpit. The original exhaust slots were filled and the bottom of the body was cut to clear exhaust pipes.  The body and frame are painted with Tamiya Pure White, Pearl White and Bright Orange Spray Paint. The Fred Cady “Stretched Flame” decals and the Slixx “PANIC” Decals worked well together.  The mounting area for the chutes was filled in and enlarged for the parachutes from the “Troublemaker” El Camino. Aluminum tubing was added to the ends of the exhaust pipes.  What Great Fun, can't wait to start another one of these Tom Daniel Models!!! |

Moon Marauder(pre Martian Spider) www.showrods.com/kustom_cars_1/martian_sticker.htmlWell, this here would be finished if I had the second Allison engine... Unfortunately, sometimes things get lost in the mail...  or whatever...  This is my third entry, but unfortunately unfinished. Quite a lot of home-made wheels, aluminum, turned and polished, with rubbers from bicycle handlebar grips. Basic parts, Groovy Grader, extended, a Corvette rear, Formula 1 parts, fenders from the Son of Ford kit(they enclose the capsule...)  ;D Hope, you like it so far...

Big Red BaronWell, this is my fourth and final entry for this contest, but unfortunately, even unfinished. I've always wanted this one to implement, as well, but never had the parts and courage to do it. It started with a Big Red Baron gluebomb and this fantastic motor, Hasegawa kit, about 70 parts  , Oberursel, Le Rhone, 9-cylinder radial engine, mounted on Fokker Dr 1 Triplane. Well, on a scale of 1:8, but hey, think big! ;D The rest is kind of cobbled together... Large wing factory, ...homemade machine guns, ...own wheels, with Maltese cross bed (aluminum, carved, polished and painted, not yet finished), although I find the rubber, like too little...  Hmm... This thing has up here, took a lot of time, and it will take, it is still far from finished, but so roughly, my(another one) imagination of the Red Baron Showrod, here in 1:12... Hope, you like it so far...

A quick build for the Tom Daniel Tribute contest, but a lot of heart went into it.
Can you count how many Tom Daniel Models were donors for this build? 
Started with a Tijuana Taxi. My old car "air freshener"(Iron Cross) went on the scratched built roof. I made surf boards and then shaped them for fenders and made decals. The old fenders were made into interior seats. Skulls were added to the Opera Windows and the side windows made red. I made a Keg of Beer for the back to sit in ice for the hot beaches. I still need to add the beer stein for the radiator cap but running late and trying to get pictures done in time...oh well. The paint is still wet on this but I really wanted to contribute to this contest. Enjoy!!

Well, I was hoping to surprise you Klowns by getting one done for this contest. It would have been better to start before February. Here it is. It's a T'rantula restyle I have been kicking around in my head for a couple years. THe body work was accomplished in the crudest manner possible. I added layers of styrene then used a dremmel to grind out the shapes I wanted. The chassis is a Tony Nancy unit. The engine is a modified Orange Crate piece. Flounder  Hosted on FotkiFirst primer.  Hosted on FotkiI like the look of the engine sticking through the hood. Even though it is not as aerodynamic, I am going to keep it like that.  Hosted on FotkiI am going to make a couple engine pieces.  Hosted on FotkiHappy Birthday Tom Daniel! I've been a fan since 1968. Scott Colmer |
