Mini Chevrolet V8 Engine

Mini Chevy V8

This is so cool except for the front mounted distributor which to my knowledge was never on Chevrolets. It is on the Buicks, and Oldmobiles. As a car nut and gear head you can't deny the coolness of little engine.

Here's a dope short vid of my 1/20 scale Ford Explorer made to look like a Chevy Blazer Action Static truck dancer in action. This vid was shot and edited by a very talented friend of mine that goes by Choppetto Bikes.

Bike Show, Swap Meet, and Model Kit Exhibition

This past Saturday was Childhood Dreams Car & Bike Club's Bike Show and Swap Meet with a Model Car Hop Off.

When I got there it was full of the finest bikes from all makes, and models. There were even pedal cars, strollers, pull carts, and model kits. Many of Oahu's well renowed clubs were at attendance as well as independent builders. The level of craftsmanship and innovations that the builds had was incredible and the you can really feel a deep appreciation for the amount of work and $$$ that went into the builds. Im not just talking about the bikes either. The pedal cars and strollers were a force to be reckoned and the amount of engineering that went into the model kits as well was mind blowing.

This is the kind of show that I love. You know the ones that different from the "Car Shows". I like all kinds of spices in life and this was one of them. I like to bring out the other aspects of building and shows. This was definitely a show to attend, participate, or just simply admire. Hopefully you will get to see this again next time around and maybe even participate in.

In the mean time, enjoy these flicks and vids of the action. 

Special thanks to: RI Autoworx, Ash, Alan, Childhood Dreams C.C. & B.C., Supremacy C.C. & B.C., Eki Cyclery, The Hobby Company and everyone that attended.

Hawaii NNL 2013 - Review

The Hawaii NNL show was definitely a success in my opinion. So many fine builds and heavy competition. I had a blast hangin  with fellow builders from way back and new builder friends. The kids had a blast with the tracks to satisfy their boredom and a Make It, Take It build for the kis to build and have. There was also a small RC Crawler open track for the crawlers and the HSM Landrover crawler handled the track pretty well except for the high fall that cracked the bumper and fender. There were not too many vendors selling model kits which was a bit of disappoinment because I was really looking forward to buy some imports. 

I want to thank all the people that stopped by the booth and took advantage of what little model kits I had.  Also for the kind compliments on the builds. The kids and kids at heart surely enjoyed the 1/24 scale Action Statics '62 & '68 Impala hoppers and 1/20 scale Explorer dancer. Hopefully next time HSM will have more and better builds. 

Want to thank HIMCC, Scale Model Magazine, Gregg Hutchings, Sponsors, and all the vendors & entrants for making this event a success. Many more please...
