One of a kind model cars

I built these from scratch taking about 2-3 years each to build. Check out my websites to see pictures and read about them. Both are concept cars, one being a Pontiac Trans Am Firehawk on a C5 corvette chassis, and the other being a Pontiac Grand Prix with AWD.

The Firehawk looks amazing! About what scale is that?
Do you have any more projects you've been working on?

Thanks. The Firehawk is if I remember right 4.3 times the size of a 1/25th scale model. I am going to start working on a 69 Camaro with a C5 Corvette drivetrain. I want to build a nice street rod that I could build a real car from some day, but for now a model will have to do.

do you build those out of wood?

You sure made a good first post, lol. Simply amazing work.

both are sick, nice work!

Amazing!!!!! You Should Post More Of Your Work!!
Post Your WIP Cars Here On This Forum So Everybody Can See Them!!

fully agreed

Holy shiznit! Those models are truly awesome!! Can't wait to see more of your work! Welcome to AF BTW :wave:

OMG *skeet skeets all over screen*

WHOA awsome job man those are out of this world!

Those are works of art. I can only imagine how long you spent on those and the amount of work gone into them. Some bigger pics would be great. Hope to see more from you.

PURE GENIUS!! welcome onboard, would be great to see some more of your future projects posted here! im just blown away!

I'm going home now to bin all my kits and take up knitting, how does anyone compete with that, truly a masterclass in model making.

BTW welcome to the forum :wave:

Could you not have thought of a longer username? :lol2:

Thats simply amazing.

I'm in the process of working on an engine right now. I picked up a Chevy 2.8 for $50 a few years ago, so I decided to pull it apart and scale it down and make a model of it. I hope to finish it sometime this spring. It's actually going to be a Chevy 3400 like in the newer Grand Ams, etc. It's a hell of a lot more detailed than the other engines. Everything works in it, even the valves open via cam, lifters, pushrods and rockers, and of course the whole rotating assembly works, including pistons. People think I'm insane for doing this, and they're probably right, but hey why not. I don't have too many pictures yet, but I'll put some up when it's finished. Thanks for the replies.

Nice work. Im working on a scratchbuild myself. It takes a lot of time, and patience. I noticed you built your body out of wood, pretty cool. I'll be building mine out of steel.

Hope to see more.

You are amazing dude! i love your camaro! Keep them coming!

that motor :eek: :eek: :eek:

It's cool to see someone else scratch building also. Instead of using steel, you might want to try sheets of copper or brass. Copper forms much easier, and you can solder it together easily. I just made a miniature engine stand from brass tubing and it's pretty strong. This would work great for a frame. Eventually I'm going to try either pounding body panels out of copper or try to vacuform them.

Someone on another board told me to check out Gerald Wingrove. He does basically what you're doing, very impressive. I can't wait to see the progress on yours.

Keep it up.

We all are out of words.

Yea, everyone continues to suggest copper, brass, among other materials. I do steel forming/fabrication fairly often, so I figured I'd build it out of steel. Plus I love the way it looks in progress. I guess Im stubborn too.

To see my progress thus far, click my sig. Unfortunately theres not much right now. Its going extremely slow. If I go any slower I'll be going in reverse.

Cant wait to see progress of your future builds.
