John Bogosian design show rod collection

 Here's a few pictures of my good friend John Bogosian cars he designed for amt in the 60s and 70s. I built them years ago and he signed some of them before I clear coated them

Very cool builds. I meant John in 2010 at the Detroit Autorama, he signed a few kits I had at the time. He's a very humble man.

How did you become friends with John?  Love his designs!

I sent photos of my Lil Logger to friends at R2/AMT.....they sent them to John who sent me a short note that he liked it. I've met many of the kit guys......I'd like to met John.

What kits were the primary contributors to this creation? And how did you come up with "Clovis Ledbetter"? Clever.

Started asLil Gasser. Scratch built the log bed from Olastruct, sticks from the back yard. Headlight is a old locomotive light, scratch built too. Logging is the largest industry in the county I live in so plenty of inspiration........the name is from comedian Jerry Clower as his buddy Clovis thought he was a log truck at times!!! Thanks

Heh, second post...I gather this is the only spot in the entire internet that there has been a sighting, in the wild, of this Lil Logger (1:24 scale?) beast. I'm to gather, then, that this is as attainable, now, as, say, the remains of any dumbwaiters from the Titanic, which would be a bummer if that was the case. (oh and that's one beauty of a bash of the Lil Gasser and Lil Logger, further above). Currently in the midst of acquiring what I'll bet is the only Lil Mixer kicking around, which will complement my still unbuilt Unreal Roller and Groovy Grader. (with different grades of gravel for nutty 'diorama' planned) Then lo and behold I just now discover there's a Bigga Mix, Boss Blender, Concrete Critter, and Morter (sp?) Porter. Will look into that will report back if anything worth doing so. Hopefully those are 1:24 - might have to get a larger base set up for all the different grades of road-crush!
