Continual Inspiration

Modelers like Bill Stillwagon always seem to keep the bar up there. I am not talking about the "detail bar". No , No... the COOLNESS BAR! Style, Execution and Imagination are all ingredients in a recipe for the WOW factor. Some of Bill's models he posted on TRaK.

TRaK is TOPS!

Not just because it's mine......
TRaK aka Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale is the best forum around for keeping traditional standards alive in modeling hot rods and kustoms. Do you have a deep love for the old days? Does seeing an old Westergard kustom or maybe a Watts paint job turn you on? Imagine seeing this stuff in 1/25 scale on a daily basis! OH YEA! 632 members today have that same interest, so if you have not joined then get your butt in gear!

Void in my life

I have been going through old stuff from when I was a teenager. Some of the stuff has me stopped in my tracks. My best friend through Junior High and even after High School died at 23 years old. He was always there for me, though his parents were a bit stict. I was 16 in this photo laying in the hospital. Tony Pheiffer was the only one of my friends to come visit me. He came over to my house and kept me company while I was on bed rest for several months. Tony was even there for me when his life was in the hole. He had some problems nobody knew about. Multiple personalities was one of them. I won't go into great details, but he didn't die naturally. RIP Tony, I hope we can go skateboarding up there when it's my time!
Looking back at this stuff makes me somewhat depressed...I lost contact with so many friends that were so close to me.

The right color

Here is the second '25 T that I am restoring from a glue bomb. I just didn't like the first color, but after some debating and advice from friends at "Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale" , I was able to make up my mind. Thanks guys!
The color I didn't like was the Deep Jewell Green. Not only did I see some ugly blemishes that needed rescued, but the white top was TOO bright on that color. I am sticking with the Mystical Marroon.
