KNUCKLEHEAD KIDS

BadNEWS chiv

This one has been lurking on the shelves up at Skyway for months and I knew I would end up taking it home sooner or later. It's one of those clunky 1/24th Tom Daniels vantasies that has a few weird parts but a neat body to mess with- as usual I chose to de-Seventies the thing with some steel wheels and wide whitewalls. Not sure I ever built this one as a youth on Oakshire Drive, but I know I built the Ice T, the Red Baron, the Beer Wagon, the Paddy Wagon and godknows what else.



This bottom shot shows how the kit's big-and-little mags and tires were replaced with parts box utilitarian pieces, evening out the stance a little-Mr Red Primer

Couldn't resist this chopped 48 coupe kit- it's got many many optional parts and great wide whitewalls- of course I dragged out my 48 'vertible to finish them together-love how Revell's early Ford chassis and rims/tires hit together- they are standardized just like the real article- Mr. Red Primer

PONTIACS iii

PONTIAC OBSESSION

Gotta hangup for these Pontiacs-This '70 was a cool MPC issue kit, and the Judge was a gift from Annabella (thriftczar)

1961 Ford Galaxie 1

Couldn't resist this damn thing and it is a cool curbside kit from back in the day- Glad they didn't mess with it too much- still have tons of leftovers from the krazy kustom parts included, decided to use the front and rear pans and the rear fender skirts-
looks good in primer since these photos and will make a fine finished model soon- Mr. Red Primer

1972 Chevrolet quarter ton TWO CHASSIS

Found another one of these in this dirty little sty of a shop for next to nothing- the thing was missing parts and had been botched by a suburban clown long forgotten- It is being restored alongside the Kermit-green Chevrolet of the same vintage, make and model- Mr.Red Primer

KEXP STSRB 2011

The car show for this year's KEXP Shake The Shack thingie was at Bogart's- crazy eye candy there- didn't stay for the bands though- Mr. Red Primer
