Bryce Michelmore's 3-Window is Bitchin'!





"This one was inspired by a Keith Weesner painting I have hanging on my wall called Speed & Style" says Bryce Michelmore of Melbourne, Austrailia.
I am holding a "Build a model from Art" on my forum Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale that ends in August 2009. This is the first I have seen finished and it's absolutely stunning! Killer 3window Bryce!

Monogram's Little T


This line of kits Monogram put out are probably my favorite of their offerings! I might just be building this one next!

Blue Beetle II


I know this was created after the Monogram Kit "Blue Beetle" '29 Model A pickup, but to see something in 1:1 scale like this is REALLY cool! I don't know who took the photos I have accumulated, but thank you! I hope to find more and better photos soon. Almost every detail of the model kit was included on this truck. The owner is Otis Eldridge from up in New Jersey area. The photos came from LEAD EAST in 2005. I have never seen other photos from any other shows. Rod & Custom should do an article on this!

Leroy Goulart inspired....


"farbeyonddriven" as he likes to be called...a member of my forum "Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale" built this '49 Ford. The work done to this is very typical of early kustomizers trying to outdo their last. You can't replace this era, we can only immitate and he did very well at that!
