Plastic Kit Cars

Added a huge engine from another kit for this Model T.

Had to chop the roof from this 32 Ford model, since all the existing kits have a stock roof.
Took front suspension, side exhaust and front fenders from other kits and shaved down the rear fenders.

I built this model in the ol skool tradition. It's a Model A sedan with a severe roof chop and huge engine,
all built from left over parts.

This is a model T that I built from left over parts. It features a twin blower.

This is another model that I built from left over parts. I grafted the hood from a 1940 Ford onto a Model T
and put a huge hemi engine in the rear.

This is a Willys pro street with exhaust coming out of the fenders.

I put a lot of pinstriping on this rumbleseat roadster.

Of course I had to make a model of the 32 Ford from American Graffiti.

Here's a nice 6 pack engine in a T Bucket.

I took a 67 Vette and combined it with a Model A Ford. I call it the 67A Boat Tail.

I had some left over parts from a dragster and vette chasis and popped an engine in the rear.

I chopped the hood and roof and smoothed out this 1940 Ford coupe.

I combined a 1959 Chevy Impala with a Model T touring car.

I took at 1966 VW Beetle and put a big blown engine in the front with big slicks in the rear.

I chopped the roof of a Tall T and hot rodded it.

With left over parts, I constructed this Thing.

Here I took a Mini Cooper and added a big engine and racing tires.

I had the idea of putting twin blown engines in a 1957 Chevy with a chopped roof.

I took a 1934 roadster and added wings over the rear wheels.

Another Model T that I ratted out.

Here's my version of the Dodge Little Red Wagon.
It's hard to tell, but I chopped the roof. I was going to rat it out, but didn't like how it looked.

I took a late model Camaro and upped the wow factor.
I removed the front bumper, lowered it and raised the fenders so the tires would fit.
The exhaust pipes are made from speaker wire and the straight pipes are plastic soda straws.

I never built a 32 Ford Vicky, but always liked the way the rear looks.
I decided to shorten the body, remove the rear seats, chop the roof and punch holes in the visor.
The exhaust collectors are made from plastic soda straws.

I built this next car out of plastic sheets and spare parts.

I had a wild Model T in mind, but it morphed into an Army Air Corp bomber.
I made the engine manifold out of clay and put 4 carbs on top.

I merged a 32 Ford coupe with a dragster for this next project.
I built the roll cage out of plastic tubes.

I took a 32 Ford roadster and added some wings cut from sheet plastic.
The exhaust pipes are cut plastic tubes.
I also cut down the running boards to keep the angular look.

Here I took a Mercedes roadster and put in twin blown engines.

I wanted to make this old Chevy look like it was never cared for.
To make it looked aged, I took spackle and put it where rust would be likely to be,
then after painting the car yellow, I sponge painted rust color over the car.
I ran some flat black over the chrome to dirty it up a bit.

This is my design for a hover car with a bubble top. The body was made from sheet plastic,
the dome from clay. The exhausts are cut plastic tubes.

This is a Model T that I built as a twin engined racer. Every part is from a standard Model T.
I built the frame from plastic rods. The radiator hoses are speaker wire. I aged the engine
by rubbing flat black over the parts with a paper towel.

Here I combined a 32 roadster with a Ferrari front and rear end.

I was trying to figure out how I could build my design for this hover car. I had bought a Nissan 380Z
model for it's fuel injected engine and decided that the car body and interior would work.
I added some framework to the car with plastic sheet and it transformed into my vision.
I decided to lose the vertical tails though. They didn't seem to look right.

I have a lot of things going on in this next model. First, I created my own straight 8 engine
using sheet plastic to build the block and intake manifold. The carb intake is a soda straw.
I used bent plastic sprues for the exhaust headers, which empty into a plastic soda straw.
The frame is hand built from plastic rods. I aged the 32 Ford body by hitting it
with a hammer to make the plastic come apart at the seems. I chopped the roof and left it rough
looking and added silver weld spots to make it look unfinished. To age the paint, I wiped flat
black over it with a paper towel.

The body on this car is my own design. I formed it out of sheet plastic.

This next car is just a standard T bucket but with a spiffed up body that I made out of sheet plastic.

I made extensive mods to this VW bug. I sliced off the fenders and chopped the roof.
I had to make my own frame out of plastic rods because I wanted to put the engine up front.
It took me a while to get the stance just right. I ended up making my own front axle by bending a
plastic sprue into the shape I needed. The injector stacks on the engine are actually exhaust pipes.

I call this next one the Batster. I made this car from scratch, using plastic rods and sheets.
The veins in the wings are threads. The bat head I sculpted out of clay.

Being a guitar player, I had to build a guitar car. I don't play a Gibson Flying V, but the shape is
perfect for a car. I cut the guitar shapes out of sheet plastic and glued the images onto it.
The air scoop on the engine is made from tube plastic, as well as the instrument gauges.
The grill is a Fender pick that I cut and inserted a chrome grill into.

This next hover car is based on a jet design. The bubble and air intakes are sculpted from clay.

For this Model A sedan, I decided to just lower the body and not chop the roof.
The paint is hammered.

I cut the Model T body off its base, angled it, and reattached it for a unique look.

I chopped the roof of this Woody and put in a flat head Ford engine.

Here I took a T Bucket and put in a beer barrel gas tank and cut an iron cross in the canvas roof.

This is a roadster that I built out of sheet plastic.
The wheels and tires are from a Plymouth Prowler and the interior is from a Model T.

I wanted to put some huge turbos on a hemi engine. The problem is, there are no models that have them.
I drew a sketch of a turbo and made them myself out of speaker wire that I formed into a circle where I glued
air filters from another engine. I made the intake and exhaust from plastic tubes. I used speaker wire for
exhaust pipes coming out of the cylinders. I mounted the engine in a 34 coupe that didn't come with an engine.
I had to stretch the frame out to fit the monster engine.

This is another roadster that I built out of sheet plastic.
The interior is from a 1940 Ford.

I designed this roadster and built it out of sheet plastic.

I had a Ferrari body left over, but without a hood or a rear end, which I used on other projects.
Since I had 2 VW engines, I decided to put the engines in the rear of the Ferrari and build a new front end in plastic.

This is my design of a gull wing sedan, which I built out of sheet plastic.

Here I mated a Maverick rear end with a 32 Ford coupe. I also built up an air scoop for the rear brakes.

This is my Frankencar. I mated a Nova with 40 Ford fenders, a Model A hood for the rear and a Plymouth Prowler nose.
I frenched in the headlights and created my own seats out of plastic.

Here is the Beatnick Bandit body grafted onto Model A fenders. I fabricated the interior out of plastic.

I built air scoops on a Plymouth Prowler body and put on a 32 Ford grille and a huge blown engine.

Here's my 37 Ford rat rod. I cut off part of the trunk and hacked up the front end and chopped the roof. To make it look aged, I
banged the body with a hammer, scratched it up with a saw and sanded off some of the paint. I added spackle to the
body to simulate rust and painted over it.
