Welcome to TimKustom Model Cars. This channel will showcase the models I’ve built, and collected. You can also find kit reviews, shows and contests and tips and techniques. The models I build are not traditional “Kustom” cars, but I strive to make them Kustom in my own way. I hope you enjoy and subscribe because I have all kinds of model car stories to tell.
Modelpalooza 2024 Model Show Kissimmee, FL 10/12/24
A major Hurricane couldn’t stop this model show and contest from happening. Follow along for a look at most of the models on display and see what the vendors had brought.
I even completed a model at the venue! I only glued myself to it three times, I think.

I've turned a Porsche 914 into this crazy wheel standing exhibition car for the Second Annual Porsche Group Build. I named it after another famous Porsche race car and when you hit the throttle it should make you say AHOY! See the finishing techniques that went into this model, but is it really finished?

It's been a while since I've done a stash add video, not much has come in lately because I've probably got too much model car junk. Nope. Nobody should ever say that. Some of this isn't model car junk. It's weird though!

Porsche 914 Project Part 5: Get the lead out! I’m making this one do wheelies.
มุมมอง 4642 หลายเดือนก่อน
I’m turning a 914 into a crazy wheel standing exhibition car for the Second Annual Porsche Group Build. After all the major components were in place, it was time to make it do wheelies. There were several ways to approach this. Maybe magnets, or rods inserted into a base, or just let a toothpick hold it up. That last one is a bit lame. I chose to cram as much lead into any nook and cranny. Foll...

After checking out the Elvis Jet, I wandered over to the Tampa Bay Auto Museum to see what they might have on display. I was not expecting it to be full of unique French Cars. All were collected due to their interesting technology of the day.

Lots of great stuff, I'll have to take a pause and come back, but so far in auto I am loving that C6R and of course any and all Ferraris 😁. Great coverage Tim, looking forward to working my way through the video as time allows to see it all!
good looking builds on display thanks for bringing it to us Tim Glad you and the family are safe God Bless
This video brought back a childhood memory. Our local Woolco store (a Canadian department store chain) had a model contest and I remember submitting one of the cars I had built; I believe it was a top fuel dragster. I have no recollection how many entries there were but I do recall that the winning entrant took his model back home before judging day and enhanced his entire set up and presentation. That was over 50 years ago! How modelling has changed since the 70s with the detailed engine work, spit-shine polish, customizing, etc.
FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!
Thanks! It was super fun and has a little surprise to come. Stay tuned!
Nice Video thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am enjoying this series so much! I do have to be honest about your intake choice though: the single carb set-up was more of a "serious business" look that I preferred. Which is odd for me because I am a big factory stock guy normally. But this build is a far cry from factory stock, and even down the road a piece from a restomod. The Tri-Carb set-ups sometimes had tunability/maintenance issues. Not that that is a problem with styrene, but the lower drag classes were (before the advent of widespread Fuel Injection, performance chips, and tuning with a laptop) full of single plane manifolds and giant carbs. Your car, your choice, that's just my $.02 and worth every penny.😊
Thanks for the 2¢, sure a race car would benefit from not using a tri-power but I'm going to keep this one "Pro-Street" with the emphasis on "street". It should all make sense once it gets a little further along. Got some more cool goodies to add to it. Stay tuned!
I have loved this build from the first time I saw it!! I think it was on Hobby Heaven (Spotlight Hobbies) Message board!
Thanks! It is still one of my favorites. Now it has another one to race with.
Cool
Excellent build Tim! A lot to take in as usual. Best wishes at the show! 🏆😎👍
Looking good bro
Appreciate it. Looking forward to moving this one on to paint soon.
Looking good. Alot of great tips that apply to any car build 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
FYI, I have owned several 64 to 67 GTO and Lemans and headers were always hard to fit. I also had a 65 2+2 Pontiac with a 421 that was totaled by a drunk driver so I put the 421 in a 67 Chevelle and had issues with the headers because they have almost the same frame as Pontiacs did.
Headers can always cause trouble unless you make your own. The 3D printed ones are so nice, so I really wanted to see if I can make them work. Thanks for watching!
👍
looking good Tim. Hey... have you got a link to that interwebs page with all the different engine dimensions on? Cheers.
Thanks! There are several with a google search, some conflicting data. I went with this one quoted from Hot Rod Magazine Oct. 1977. www.teambuick.com/reference/engine_dimensions.php
@@timkustom Thanks Tim.
Sweet. By the time it is done, it will be the G.O.A.T. Good luck!
Thanks! Dunno about that, need to get past paint and detail. Lots of great builds happening with this swap. Glad you enjoyed it.
Looking good my friend!!
Thanks! This one has been fun.
👍🏻👀👍🏻
👍🏻👀👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
moved the fire wall back a little might help
Firewall location wasn't really a problem. Trans tunnel is pretty shallow in the Chevelle kits IMO. Thanks for watching!
Awesome idea for the Trans Tim. I say why complicate things. Looks great so far.
Thanks! I've tried to keep this model within the two kits with a few choice 3D parts thrown in to make it my own. We'll see if I can keep it up.
Its looking so good great work 👍🏻
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more.
I absolutely love your work….. but could I pass on a tip. When you’ve got all the bodywork done and deepened your panel lines….. back fill the line with Tamiya basic filler and run your knife through the wet filler . This will fill any scratches or chips and tighten up the door line
Interesting tip. That would work when having too wide panel lines. I don't like that Tamiya scriber, as it makes too wide lines. There are many other options. Even Tamiya has their own narrow scribers.
Great tip that I've used on several occasions. Thanks for watching!
I agree the Tamiya panel line scriber can make the line too wide if you get too deep. I feel it is still an excellent tool to get the lines in order.
Looking good Tim!
Thanks 👍 Stay tuned!
awesome vid the GTO is lookin sweet really a Butler motor badass dou thx 4 sharing 😁🤩scooter😎ps the patience it takes for perfection is comin to light in the crappyest kit ever🤣😂
Nothing perfect going on here. Just trying to strive for something excellent. Hope to pull it off. Thanks for watching.
@@timkustom definitely digging how the front grill/bumper is fitting 😁 just what I was looking for 😎👍
Love your work Tim. Great video as usual. Excellent tips on the body. When I got back into modeling, I was so excited to use panel Liner. I used it on this very body. It didn't work 😅 That was the model I learned to scrib on.
Panel liner is good, but you need a good line to flow it. That's the reason to scribe all the lines. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
❤
Looking good Tim.
Thanks!
great update
Thanks!
Outstanding sir!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Spectacular build my friend. You’ve really outdone yourself with this one. Can I have it? 😂
Thanks James! This was a fun build and I'm glad to put it on MY shelf. LOL! (maybe we do a trade someday?)
@@timkustom I’d be honored to trade with you.
WOW!!! AWESOME engineering as always my friend!!! TONS of really cool details and goodies everywhere!!! Oh yeah, you da man!!!
Thanks Dood! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is amazing!!! I think you won!
Thanks! The only competition with this one is with yourself and this one is really close to what I had in mind. Glad you enjoyed it.
I know you said you're not necessarily done with it but...great idea and excellent execution!
Thank you very much! What comes next for it should be even more fun!
Awsome build. ..great detail...
Thanks 👍
OUTSTANDING! (Pun intended...) Man what a kool build!!!!
Thanks! It was fun, glad you enjoyed it.
Tim you're the Man!!!🙌❤️😊
Dunno, I just try to build fun models. Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome build, Tim! That came out so nice. I love the sea monster on the bottom.
Thanks! The sea monster seemed like a good addition.
Nice work Tim! the Porsche turned out amazing!
Thanks Sarge. It was a fun build.
Simply Amazing nuff said!!!!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Ahoy really great job on that 👍
Ahoy back at ya! Thanks and glad you liked it.
That’s just fantastic
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Loving it. Lots of details to look at. I wonder, could you've done the engine cover hinged?
Thanks! I considered hinging the cover, but it is very close to the engine and the sweep would hit something. Right now it just sets there and I know it has stuff under it.
It came out amazing great work 👍🏻
Thank you! 😊
Super Sweet Styrene Goodness brother Tim!
LOL. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
That came out magnificent, Tim! And the final pod song did indeed make my dog growl.
Thanks Frank! Having your dog's attention is a total win (there will be another pod song)... LOL!
Very wild build! Nothing short of amazing! Congratulations, and I can't wait to see what you do to add another detail. Thanks for sharing! Keep building!
We'll see! Hope to make some smile... Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
That turned out amazing !
And at least you thought about your model enough to add a driver, but I don't think I'd ever think of you when it comes to forgetting the driver . You can tell you think about every aspect of the model when building
If it wheelies, it has to have a driver. Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks great Tim man you have a wild mind for builds.
I just try to build something I haven't seen before. Glad you liked it!
Dang that is wild, great work 🍻
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow!! That turned out amazing!! The paint is spot on!! It has an evil knievel look to it!! At first, I wasn't seeing the end result, but you nailed it!! Great job, sir.
Never thought about the Evel Knievel look, but agree there could be some of that going on. Glad you enjoyed it!
