The official TLG Mini Cooper set was nothing short of brilliant, and a pure joy to build. I loved everything about it, and I mean everything. It’s a magical little thing.
So of course that meant that I needed to tear it apart and rebuild it into a little monster with some attitude!
I hope you enjoy!

The BMW 2002 just never seems to get old to me. Every time I see one, I fall in love again. BMW's late mid century entry level cars strike such a great balance; a tasteful and elevated take on uncomplicated driver's cars with indisputable utility. A timeless formula, and one that deserved another take on my part. Similar to my White Bird 911, this is a complete rethink of my previous 2002 design. Scaled closer to City with a shorter overall height, the proportions are improved between the greenhouse and the body and the size of the wheel/tire combo is more period correct. I just wish I could take this one out for a spin myself!
I hope you enjoy!
The August 29, 2016 "Cruisin' on the Bayou" cruise in downtown Belleville, a small city about twenty miles west of Detroit, Michigan. This is a terrific event sponsored by the Bayou Grill with two blocks of Main Street and some side streets closed off.

@Legomasino made the cross-country journey to Cars & Coffee this weekend to take delivery of his new Restomod Z. Some west coast vibes, a few cups of black gold and the downright frightening snarl emanating from this beast made for a great day indeed. Cheers, Legomasino! Beard Goals!!!!
This Restomod Z is a lightly modified version of Legomasino’s super slick Datsun 240z design. Instructions are now available through his site legomasino dot com. Head over and check ‘em out.
I hope you enjoy!
The Graham Company entered into a contract with Hupmobile in 1940 to build a car called the Skylark. Hupmobile soon went out of business which left Graham with a production line set up. The company renamed the car the Graham Hollywood and continued production.
From the cowl back, the car is based on the 1936-37 Cord. Hupmoible had purchased the body dies from the Auburn automobile Company which had gone out of business. Many changes from the Cord were implemented, including a redesigned front end and the conversion from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive.
There were 1,859 examples of the Hollywood built with the majority being fitted with a supercharger. Some of the Hollywood cars were raced, and with a power-to-weight ratio that was unmatched, many drivers found success including Bill France, the father of NASCAR.
The supercharged six-cylinder engine produced 124 horsepower and rested on a 115-inch platform. the car weighs just 2,365 pounds and sold for $1,250 when new.
My version is what is considered a "resto-mod" which is short for restored-modified. It has a V-8 engine, a lowered ride height, shaved bumpers and low-profile tires. Built for the 78th LUGNuts challenge "Places everyone!"

~An except from "Average Auto Reviews".
Ladies and gents, the Thunderhead Asgard Restomod. The official car of injecting the purest of bullshark testosterone directly in your taint for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and ESPECIALLY DESERT.
Jesus fucking christ what the hell am I doing here? This is just...no. No no no no no no NO. NO! NO! NOT AN AVERAGE AUTO, NOT WHAT WE DO! WE CAN'T LIVE IN A WORLD OF CHAOS AND DISORDER WHEN oh hey the keys.....alright, so the Asgard. The Thunderhead Asgard was a car that told it all in the title. Asgard. Ass guard. Az gurd. Aus Gord. The world of the Gods. The world of Valhalla. The pantheon of power. Really though what the Asgard is is the type of car that should just come with a spade and enough room to fit your wife's corpse, which it has neither of. The Asgard just had that glow, that aura. Anytime an Asgard would roll by, the air gets just a little thicker and you wonder just where the actual hell did all this fog come from. It's the kinda car that has that Friday the 13th "Shh shh shh haa haa haa" sound just magically generated around it. The drivers are usually into the prospect of there never being a safe word.....and yet here we are in one of the dullest experiences yet. Driving this feels like playing with your dad when he's 72 and you're like 32. First, you wonder just what the hell you're doing, then you feel depressed that dad's greatest days of youth are far, far behind him and he'll never get to feel it again because his arteries nearly choked the life outta him in the first place. The Asgard, with it's most common 3.4 L V6, moved at the paced you'd go at convincing your grandma to stop casually using the word "negro". In other words you're not gonna get very far. That is....until you go as far as you can and bring back something for the rest of us. Now, the owner of this car, huge scary dude who was pretty nice but still, biceps like the size of my torso. He needs a car like this because he's 7 Ft. The Asgard has the prestigious honor of being the only musclecar with some room. Like I moved the seat forward as far as I could and I could still juuuuuuuust reach the gas. We're not here for the size, though. Trust me, this meat's more that good enough. Let's talk about just what's happened to this Asgard. Apparently the owner ran into it in Europe of all places to find a Thunderhead, has it shipped over and restomod. Now, restomod means to "restore" and "Modernize". But to most it means putting hugeass fender flares on their Canary and hoping Michael Bay rips the design that's already been done a hundred times over. Sometimes though, you get the full package of perfect upgrades. Well, maybe not "perfect" but going hard enough to make your neighbors oily thumbs hover over the district Judge's speed dial. I mean this thing has 760 HP and nearly 800 Ft/Ibs of torque. 8. 0. 0. Every time I upshift my taint becomes GRANDMA'S POTATO SALAD. And that's a good thing, because an Asgard should be crushing me under it's iron heel. In here, as this loud, massive overpowered beast, the Asgard finally has a body it's ego can cash.

Alternate "Tonal Connection" style. Notice the bottom mount for the technic arm: If you are building this model in white, black, or red you can substitute a 3L Bar in place of the hammer element for a cleaner look!
This one is a 1948, and is a "Resto-Mod. I never saw the hood open, but I was told that the engine is a 455 Olds.
