I agree, they are beautiful!

[Noose]

That must have kept you busy for a while...

LOL..yeah a bit. There are another 6 behind these for some others I did at the same time and am finishing the detailing and lettering.

[turim]

Joe,

The cars are beautiful. Real easy on the eyes. Nice color, beautiful lettering and detail (as always).

I wish I could paint like that!!!!

I use your work as a guide and yardstick to judge my attempts at painting.

If you are going to steal ( which everyone does), do it from the best!

Do you sleep at all?

"I got the fever and the only cure is MORE COWBELL!" Or a Noose painted and detailed body!

[Duffy]

--Actually, as I tool up to do my OWN painting (pragmatic economics, y'know), I was mulling over putting a tiny "cowbell" sign on my jobs. Being personally connected to the symbol & sentiment as it were.

[SlotDragJoe]

That works..!

Spoiled some more Lexan. Here are a couple of cars for Ralph Klose, Justus Graf and Theresa Graf. This was a collaborated project. Dennis Samson built the Jail Door and D3 NASCAR frames. Justus and Theresa sent me the info on how they wanted the paint schemes to look. I put them all together for them. 2 more Lotus 40s are just about done and those pics will be posted soon.

Ralph's Lotus 40







Ralph's NASCAR





Justus' NASCAR






Theresa's NASCAR

[Noose]

The remaining Lotus 40s for this project each painted per the designs submitted.

For Justus


For Theresa


And for Mr. Bruce's trip the the ISRA Worlds these 1/32 F1s based on the 2001 (within the 10 year rule) Jordan liveries. No decals. These are only .005 thick!

[Noose]

Getting ready for "Da Sano" Some of the fleet heading to Chicagyland. For one of my Can-Am cars. The "Gulf" thing.




For one of my F1 cars. A later style semi livery for an older Lotus.




2 for some GT Coupes. Yeah more of that Gulf thing. LOL




A Ti22 for something.

[John Miller]

Incredible.

[Noose]

Thanks John. Got some more in the works that I might be able to done before I leave for the Sano. Didn't post the gizzilion interiors I finished and set out. The Skeleton types are a big hit for the Drag Racers down at SpeedZone.

[Cap Henry]

The Skeleton interiors are very cool! Love the camel lotus!

Noose will be pleased to know that the visiting Graf family did extremely well with the NASCAR cars, and while unfamiliar with the track and while not used to such fast "vintage" cars in their German racing environment, quickly adapted. The father Jens ended in 4th place, while son Justus and daughter Theresa had a more difficult time but nonetheless greatly enjoyed themselves. Their cars also handily won Concours.
The Grafs had to leave and did not race the jail-door cars, they will do this when back in Dusseldorf, on Jens' Minerva track.
The Grafs will be given a tour of the LASCM on Wednesday as part of their visit to the "new country".

[gascarnut]

I'm glad to hear they had fun, I had to leave just as the Nascars started unfortunately.

What a nice family the Graf family is - it was good to meet them.

And Noose's bodies looked WAY better in the flesh than on the photo, if that's possible. They were just spectacular, especially the Jaildoor cars!

[Rob968323]

Great work Joe.

[Noose]

Some more all done as I get ready to head to the SANO...


First up, a Porsche 917 PA for Dave "Shadow" Simerka


Now a Kirby TI22 for Mill Conroy


A Lotus 43 for Mikey Iles (he chose the unique colors of Blue, Green and Brown)


A Lola GT and a TI22 for Mike Iles




2 Cooper F1s and a JD Ferrari for Steve Levitsky






and another Gulf themed Lola GT for me

[Noose]

I can post this now since the Sano is over. This was commissioned by Bernie Schatz for Mike Swiss' birthday and it was presented to him at the Sano on Saturday.

[willy wonka]

That's sum great looking paint jobs. Great Job!

[Noose]

Levitsky Motors Stockcar ready for the Fall Brawl...



And for the lil "Devil" hisself Mr. Kisling, his "Jersey Devil GTC.

[Tex]

Ya know, Joe, I just can't think of anything new to say about your work.

Good job.

[Rob968323]

Awesome Devil body Joe!!

[Ralph Thorne]

Love the Jersey Devil body and it's interior!

[One_Track_Mind]

it's interior!

O-MY-GAWD! That's too cool!

I looked at the picture but never noticed the interior now until Ralph mentioned it.

Joe, you truly have an imagination, must be something to do with drinking Blue Moons!

[Noose]

Da Devil made me do it.
