Updated pictures of a reworked body: If you have followed me or this car you know it has taken many body shapes. Originally trying to do some kind of wide body thing…FAIL! Dialed back to resto…MEH! Always happy with the internals, just couldn’t quite figure out what I wanted out of the body. I’m pleased with this version still maintaining a little bit of a modern look, however if I was to do it over…Thank you to everyone who has supported this build through all of it’s changes and the constructive criticism that pushed me to keep improving it.
Restored and modified, this 60s Dodge A100 pickup is better than new with all of todays modern technologies while retaining its original classic style!

Super Snail.
The quintessential French classic, and one of my all time faves. In honor of its timeless legacy the PYP garage is debuting this bad boy: Tuned, dumped and ready to melt some faces!
A big shout out to @prototyp for joining in on this 2CV build challenge. Make sure you head over and check out his mighty 2CV - Le Rongeur!
I hope you enjoy!

The classic G body 911 has always been a sacred thing to me. It was love at first sight, and the passion for the 911 silhouette has never left me.
This build is an homage to that very silhouette, and just might be as close as I ever come to owning one. It was important to me that the build felt unique to my style and distinct from the other talented builders who have already produced very excellent 911 designs. I kept it clean and traditional with some classic chrome accents, and twisted it just a little with some stance and attitude influenced by @button_built x @brixtonforged x @mr.simonsson.
May the flat six be with you.
High quality building instructions for this design will be available very soon!
I hope you enjoy!

This rather intimidating Time Attack Z is set to lay down yet another record at time trials this year. Get downforce or GET OWNED!
Beginning life innocently as one of my heavily modified Legomasino Datsun 240Zs, this example soon found itself unceremoniously dismantled and reformed into this sinister beast. Time Goals!!!!
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!"
This isn't exactly my MOC. I bought this off of Ebay over 20 years ago, and it stood proudly in my city for many years. The opportunity to display it at Our National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows, brought it out of storage, and restoration began. I loved what the original creator did with this so I wanted to keep it as stock as possible, but many of the white bricks had yellowed, so a restoration was required.
I started with a digital rebuild of the original for reference later durring reconstruction. Then I deconstructed it and restored the white parts with Hydrogen Peroxide and sunlight. While the construction could've been better, I kept it the same more or less when I rebuilt it and used as many of the original parts as possible. I discoverd a few Mega blocks in it, which were promptly discarded and replaced with Lego. The interior was the most changed with the upgraded sink, a new drinks dispenser, drawers and cabinets under the counter, additional staff, new cash registers, and menus on the wall. Next I added a roof, which wast required to be in city display, and I added lights to it, making it my first lit building ever. I also added an extra picnic table, moved a gate over, and changed the front windows to match the others.
I want to thank whoever originally built this MOC and sold it to me on Ebay. I don't know who it was as Ebay history dosn't go back that far, But this has been a cherrished part of my collection and will continue to be for many years to come. It will be on display at Our National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows from Nov 18 2022 to New Years eve 2022 as part of the GTW LUG City display.

This 1969 F-250 has been re-engineered by Velocity Restorations.
words can't describe the transformation of this classic.
La lista de modificaciones después de salir de la fábrica es larga e incluye suspensión, dirección y, obviamente, llantas y ruedas. Es aquello que llaman un restomod.
Brand new paint for the old gal. We got her back from the restorer yesterday. She looks good in her new gown.

Mr. Murphy stopped by Cars & Coffee this weekend to show off his Restomod BMW 2002. Despite what the dual-tipped hardware out back suggests, this Colorado Orange specimen is actually sporting a one-of-a-kind electric drivetrain dropped in by Electrohoon Specialties in SoCal.
Mr. Murphy also brought along his commuter bike in order to show off this electrified beauty in Bike Transport Mode. Cheers @bmurphbfree!
Speaking of modes, I moved into Premium Detailing Mode with the taillights which are a signature element of the 2002. After designing a taillight insert for the round trans red tile, I trimmed thin strips of chrome silver adhesive vinyl. I then wrapped one strip around each tail lens so that the seam of the strip joined at the bottom. When the round tile (with the chrome strip wrapped around it) is then fitted to the body of the car, the seam becomes trapped by the bumper and thus stays tightly wrapped around the taillight unit :)
This was built as a gift for good friend and epic work collaborator @bmurphbfree (IG).
I am considering offering instructions for this build. Please comment below if you’d be interested.
I hope you enjoy!

The Raven Star is a one of a kind test cruiser owned by Crimson Star Ship Yards and operated by Dragon Eye Munitions for the purpose testing prototype weapons, sensors, and jammers for Starships. Since it's first launch 18 years ago it has undergone hundreds of modifications. It is powered by quad anti-matter/matter reactor cores giving it ample power for to operate what ever is hooked up to it, and allowing it to mimic the power outputs of variously sized capital ships from corvettes, to destroyers. Many systems installed on current RHA capital ships and even fighters were developed on this ship. It's hull utilizes the latest stealth materials, and experimental cloaking devices, which allow's the Raven Star to operate in secret away from the eyes of it's competition. It's crew is comprised of 130 experienced engineers and test pilots.
This MOC was originally my brothers ship. Originally designed and purchased through LDD, my brother made many modifications to it over the years. It sat along side other starship MOCs collecting large amounts of dust for years until he eventually gave them all to me, with permission to scrap everything including this. However out of all the ships he had created this one happened to be my favorite, and although it was in rough shape, I decided to restore it rather than scrap it. I changed virtually nothing on it's design, apart from the aft section, which got some new guns, and replaced the engines, which were missing. I color coordinated the wings and fuselage, and smoothed out the blocky hinges he used with flat plate hinges. I also fixed a few structural defects, and a handful of other small things that would otherwise go unnoticed.
This was basically a very very delayed collaboration between the two of us. And now I am proud to present my brothers newly restored ship The Raven Star.
