I built one when I was a kid too. I have several now...every couple years I get the urge to build one. They even have a visible slant 6 if you can find one. I have the renwald visible chassis that the visible V8 goes into. it is very rare and very cool. has working clutch and shiftable trans...

Looks cool to me...nice work.

There are no mistakes in model building...just make a junker model. I build only junkers for the last 15 years, I am working on a FABO junkyard now.

Scale coachworks made them in resin. pretty much the same as building plastic but you needed a donor kit for the interior and wheels and such. I bought a few off Ebay in the past, most go fo around $45.00. If you search online you might be able to find some.

Looking good

It's kind of dangerous to to that, I use regular stranded wire. I cut a piece of wire, strip off the insulation and take the strands apart. The wire can be wound around a pin, nail, or whatever is the diameter of the coil you want. The strands can also be used for brake lines, fuel lines, oil...

solder works alot too...like exhaust, roll bars, nerf bars...etc. Also, I use 2 inch masking tape for vinyl tops, seat upholstery, convertible roofs.

Here's what I build, the Mopars were sold in the charity auction. I hope to start building again soon. I wanted to offer to build junker models for FABO members of their cars, maybe once I start feeling better I can do that.

Actually it is a conversion kit built on a 69 hurst olds kit, I don't remember the manufacturer. I bought it off ebay about 6 years ago, it consisted of the grille, bumpers, tail lights and hood.

Try it...once you do your first weathered model, you will do all your models that way !

Thank you guys. Your comments mean a lot to me.

Here's some of my junkers

Thats a cool collection of planes.

Thank you, I used to build showroom type models (still do sometimes) but I prefer junker type. They aren't that difficult to build...and you can't really mess up.

I've been building them since I was a kid. My dad always restored cars and I wanted to help but because I was so small I was more in the way than anything else. So, he would buy me model kits and work on them with me. I started building junker cars a few years ago. They have torn upholstery...
