AWESOME work! Question now is, do you have a "Bike" to put in the back!? I am planning a few "Show Rods" too. One is already done, and will be the end of the month to post it for reason of what it is! BUT A few to come that are similarly related, as you'll see! GREAT imaginative work man! NICELY Executed!!! Yes, it is still not quite ready, but it will be this one: Wouldn't happen to have a spare fuel tank would ya? I have a very similar model kit of a bike and its missing the fuel tank..... (I think I can make a seat!)

Bobby, thats an AWESOME Engine idea!!!!! Couldn't be a better choice (UNLESS its a Hemi of some sort but fitting it that given space might a BIG challenge!

I got a dumb question was it a known fact that someone at MPC had a thing for the Chevy Corvair engine or something? As thats not the only "Show Rod" I've seen with the rear mounted Corvair engine in it!

And then some of the "loose" stuff I at the time still had to sort through, there were SEVERAL boxes like this, plum full parts! Just some of the boxes that WERE "full" of just loose parts! I can't explain just how full some of these were, and I've finally gotten through a lot of it.... there was a full box alone of tires! and one full of rims! SO, the kits I plan to trade, I'm trying to see if there are matching tires for those kits in the box of them I have that came in that HUGE box left on my porch! A gold plated steering wheel!? You can BET thats going in my '70 Coronet R/T Convertible! Pre-Wired Distributors!!!!? WOW! Big ole 6 cylinder Diesel! I THINK thats a Cummins, BUT it could be the CAT that comes with the Revell Peterbilt 359 thats to be a CAT 3406.... NOT sure, I have the kit and the engine brand new, I'll have to look to be sure! And, something Military.... I MIGHT have to "work" that into my "pee'd Off Patton" Show Rod Tank! -Not sure yet, but its not badly done!

Same box, more!!!! NOW I have 2 of the '71 GTX, ON will become a '71 Roadrunner, OR a '71 Satellite! (I have a grill to make THAT happen!) Needs a little TLC but I'm good with that! I THINK this was to be a '69 Daytona..... BUT, I think I may go and make it a '69 Charger 500 instead! (I have a grille for that too!) Coupla '74 Duster bodies, BOTH needing A LOT of work, I may restore one of them, NOT sure yet, BUT I know I do not plan to toss 'em in the trade pile so..... As I think with the 2 bodies, I can get one good one, with a hood & grille! And, there is a interior tub to one and a frame.... I can come up with everything else for one of them.... A '71 Duster 340 thats had one door "cut-open" and the door is with the kit and in pretty decent shape! I may have some left over parts from my other '71 Dusters to make this one come to life! A box of loose "Over-The-Road Camper" interior parts..... These will be used in my Deora based camper trailer, pulled by a Deora! (thats to come!) More Deora parts to back that built up too! AND, its been done in Camouflage!!!!! (Now theres an idea!) Almost complete '94 Viper..... Looks like ole John needs to get his hands on either a SECOND L-700, OR cough up that '89 Western Star to carry some OLD Mopars on this trailer!!!!! Building that all is gonna be some REAL fun!

I got a HUGE box left on my front porch with just my first name on it, and packed fulla models, I found it on Saturday, and so been at going through it one model box at a time.... There are some I'm keeping for my "Stash" and then there are others thats going up for trading purposes..... What your about to see, is what I'm KEEPING in my "Stash" of goodies!!!!! A NEEDED "Snow Plow"..... assembled, but WILL come apart, and will be going on my '76 International Scout II (being built like one a very close family friend had, maybe still does) but, he did A LOT of plowing with the thing and I'm gonna model it! -So a Plow I needed for on it! BOTH fully complete kits! NOTHING built, or painted! My 1st "Show Rod" come with a what looks to be a Chevy Corvair engine, and I plan to CHANGE that bad boy, and trade off its parts and swap in a HEMI! -Brand new too! Cop Out, I THINK this is the original release by the 1973 date on the box, and NO "Round 2" markings! My 3rd '68 Dodge Charger R/T!!!!! (Looks like "Blade's" car from the movie, might become a reality for me!!!! Yepper LOVE IT...... '69 Dodge Cornet Super Bee, my second one! Needs some TLC but thats OK, its in pretty good shape!!!! Now that I have 2 of these, one may become a Dodge Coronet R/T, and one the car its said to be, but I can tell ya, one of them WILL be HEMI POWER'D! Like I needed another one right? WERONG! I'll take all of 'em I can get!!!!! -LOVE the '70 Coronet! AND its brand new never out of the box, or opened!

SD, Sadly however, I DO NOT USE "Photobucket" I think that host is C-R-A-P with all the issues they have now..... I'm actually hyper-linking my uploaded pics from Pinterest! Without a hitch so far! (over a year ago I started using Pinterest....) SO, having said that I've not looked back!
-Thanks tho for clearing that up with me as I wasn't sure what was going on!

Mr. Hemi The 1/24th versions are VERY abundant on e-bay and even Amazon, even many hobby shops. Not rare at all. Ohhh I know they're out there I just have to actively look to getting one os all. I haven't got to seeking one out yet.... LOL I just got so many others going on, I wanna get some "D-O-N-E" before I go an get something I KNOW I'm not gonna have the spine NOT to start yet one more model LOL I got 3 "normal" regular everyday cars (muscle and a police car) that are so close done, I can see & smell the rear smoking tires headed for the display case base.... BEFORE I get on any more I'd like to get these done first! They're "that" close finished!

NICE Work Pat!!!!! The frame looks GREAT! Question, the headers, those kit-parts, or did you make those? They look GREAT as they sit on the engine! Yes Hemi they are four sets of headers, one tucks inside the other so two on each side. I put them on with the rear header onto the block then the front one. They fir vey well, I shall finish them off with some alloy tube on the ends. So you made them? ? -NICE job!

Thanks Bob! Yeah I thought a Hemi be right at home in the Deora! Especially a 331 Red Ram Hemi (An old "Dodge" based Hemi. as back then they all had there own "version" of the Chrysler "Hemi"....
Thanks tho! I will be adding to this one I do believe in the near future!

Thanks Pat! Yeah, I'ma Mopar guy and the Deora is just one of those trucks thats "different" so. and I thought I'd further customize one and then make a camper set-up pulling a tag-a-long camper too would look GREAT, and be something even more "different".....

-Thanks guys!!!! A lot to do on this one to make it as you see here so far and a lot to go! (I haven't worked on this one in over a year!) BUT when I get the 3 I have currently so close done (A '68 Plymouth Roadrunner, Rosco's Police Car from the Dukes of Hazzard, and a model of my Dad's '68 Dodge Dart 270) when they're done the other models I have neglected to d much on from the pics, will get some more attention then! The current 3 are all being done, side-by-side too! -Be NICE to get more then one model a year! (I have to concentrate on the single ones that are further along in the build more often!) Stay tuned tho.... NOT sure whats next, I really been thinkin of getting going on the 2 Deora's tho.....

I LOVE the intake on that engine in this one.. any close ups of that? Don't have any right now but there are plenty to see on line . It's the same setup as the Little T and the Blue Beetle . -So that intake alone is used on those other 2 as well? (I'm asking as I don't know, I just know I LOVE the way that intake set-up looks!)
