Thanks again for the positive appreciation and encouragement guys! I am really grateful you guys enjoy my work. Sorry to say though, Gee's Garage will be closed for the weekend! I will be away camping. Check back on Monday for more progress and completed work! :closed:

Let's go find new lands and give them funny names like America, Cuba and Bahamas!

yeah sure, go ahead and post them. but i only ask of one thing, that is to credit and link my blog. thanks! yup yup go and buy yourself one its really multipurpose! then id like to see some "kereta potong" of your own. thanks for the appreciation guys!

another small update, the chassis has been painted and the brake calipers are also painted Spoiler: interior and chassis completed!

nice haulss! i can post the pics for you haha! except the mbx

thanks bro, for cutting and some shaping im using a cordless dremel for this. i bought it secondhand, and it comes with loads of stuff like drill, cutter, sandstone, etc.. here's a pic: today's updates; the interior for the vw custom beetle is very well moulded. i detailed the interior and scratchbuilt a turbo kit attachment for it using old guitar strings that i have leftover. detailed engine and interior building turbo kit the body also has been sprayed with primer Spoiler: here's what the engine bay looks like now after attaching the turbo kit

as of now, I'd prefer to see group builds as the spirit for group builds are very positive thus far (thanks danoneism for organizing them). :grouphug: but thanks for the compliments! indeed these are exciting times for customizers here, im glad to be part of it and to see other people's custom flavours (eg. Thorr, hwcustomizer, eight, jhc, danoneism)! :woohoo:

im waiting too :buddies:

hey congrats on the score! so even though it allegedly has insiders, even though people are supposed to be working there or in the area, and even though people say dont bother going there...you still managed to score proving ucb's "right place, right time" theory. taking nothing away from your hunting efforts though. cheers.

yup! thanks for your support bro. are you working on anything currently?

yup its a three wheeler beetle/buggy. i still got some way to go before finishing bro, got quite a number of things to do yet. wait for the next update! thanks for the support guys! :woohoo:

haha thanks boss! this is my first time doing a "kereta potong". I chose to retain the Beetle, Tri & BEATle me sounds too arrogant haha! I shy. Anyway, some small updates. If you noticed from the previous spoiler picture, there were gaps between the chassis, body and interior that needed to be filled. So today was putty day. Cut the exhaust from the original chassis: Patching up holes and rebuilding areas that have been cut off: Putty work on the bottom chassis: Dry fitting: Spoiler: Yay! No more gaps and holes. Just need more sanding work to shape more areas of the putty before putting colour onto thie baby.

ooh! thats a bloody good find sinclair! :coolpics:

one casting bro, VW Kharmann Ghia? VW Beetle? VW New Beetle Cup? VW Type 181? VW Dragbus? VW Dragtruck? VW golf GTI?

yup i agree its better to choose one. if its too general (like JDM or colour) then too bad! hahaha for me: ferrari F430 (spider/challenge/scuderia) im still missing the ferrari f430 spiders from first ferrari 60th anniversary racers, any sellers/traders?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATEY! THIS CALLS FOR A PARTY! RACEDAYYYYY

i have a question Mr. Thorr! What does the handheld mask for the flames look like? Thanks for sharing this great tutorial, its an awesome method!

some small updates: body has been stripped of its paint bottom of interior's (rear part) gap has been widened. so what am i doing exactly? here's a clue: Spoiler: I'm going to call it: Tri & Beetle Me

haha yeah mate! that was an old pic, but i was doin my groceries there today! aldi, woolworths, coles, kmart, target, myers, david jones and toysrus all in one place! here's the closeup of the new DD: The base yellow looks a better paint job than previous yellow recolors. At the door panels and edges there are no green "discoloration". However, on this particular piece the line across the body tempo wasn't printed properly, there are parts chipped off. The redline racing tempo is also not well finished on this unit, since there are cracking on the edges of some words. I particularly the colour combo of this tribal tempo on the roof. Mercifully, the tempo has been printed perfectly on this unit. This makes it stand out better than the first colour. As usual in most of the basic cars, front lamps and rear lamps are not painted. At least some units have some level of detail, but none at all for this DD. The bright yellow base paint makes the lack of details even more obvious, making it very plain looking (even more so than the first colour). Wheels are regular chrome 5SP, and base is plastic. Overall verdict: Spoiler: The base yellow is a significant improvement in the yellow colour, and the tempo on the roof is well done. Sadly the same can't be said for the rest of the tempo. Also, because of the colour, the lack of details are too obvious. Its like watching Megan Fox undressing in front of you, then you realize she has no b*****s. "Potong stim"

Yellow porsche, yellow DD, green dodge challenger, F1 racer are amongst the highlights besides the '34 TH. The others are like Pedal De Metal, Draggin Tail, some recolours that i forgot. will take a close up of the DD soon and let you decide as sinclair said, on the pegs. or more accurately, in a basket..like this (recycle old pic): and thanks all for viewing and compliments!

small updates:

Nope, I'm kidding again. Ha ha ha, funny right? Its another wave report for the '34 Ford wave. These are the cars that are in that wave, minus the white GTR and short cards. Spoiler: Okay, now go look and drool at other bigger hauls in this subforum. Cheers!

hey thanks guys for the appreciation, thats what i like about this community, we are encouraging and yet not afraid to tell the truth (be it good or bad). haha, close but nope! haha now thats a good idea, ill get round to a second design for the canyon carver sometime in the future. anywho, small updates for the customs. mostly body drilling work today, getting the bits of the car i dont want off. cut of the front portion of the interior cut off the rear engine cover

many thanks for the appreciation bro zint! how are things with you?
