What’s Under the Tree this Christmas…
57 Ford AWB Dragster
By Walter Frey
Walter’s 57 Ford took first place at the clubs 2013 Christmas Build Contest held during
th
our annual Christmas Party/Meeting held on December 20 . Congratulations to Walter
on a fine build. Congratulations to all winners and entrants.
Idle Thoughts by John Stark III
W
about it though; I've kind of been in one of those building funks
where nothing quite appealed to me. Hopefully I'm over it now.
elcome to 2014, a little snow, a little rain, a little ice, it is
winter I guess. The nice thing about it is that I have time
to start building again. I've started a few new projects, but what
else is new. I'm actually going to try and finish a few this year. I
have not really touched anything in the last 6 months. The
paper bag kit is about the only thing that I completed in 2013,
well along with a rat rod build for the Pine Barrens. That's been

How about you guys? Building anything? Let’s see it. The
message board has been kind of slack for a while, cold
weather should mean more inside time, time to post some
stuff, check out what other club members have been up to,
and show what you are up to. Let's get the message board
rolling again, come on, step up, it's your club.

Kind of brings me to another point, and it's about the
Christmas party, I will touch on this more at the meeting but I
hope you guys realize that this is YOUR party. Not mine or any
one person in particular, but YOURS, therefore when 3 or 4
members help with setting up and cleaning up for "THE
CLUBS" party and 7 or 8 of you stand around and watch and
not even offer to help, that rubs me the wrong way. I bust my
ass to make it a success, because I want everybody to enjoy
themselves, the least that you other members can do is help
make YOUR party a success. That's enough of a rant for now,
the guys that helped, I Thank you all very much, those who
watched I know you will step up next time, because I won't let
it happen again.
I did not hear any bad reports from the party so everyone who
showed up must have had a good time, I know we had
enough, food, between the snacks, the pizza, the desserts,
including those brought by Dave Wood, Gary Husted, Dan
Hogan, and of course my M&M man Keith, if I forgot anyone
please forgive me, I tend to get kind of busy during the night
and don't always write everything down.
wife. She has been there for every one of our Christmas
parties as well as quite a few of our displays. She does so
much work to make everything a success and take a lot of stuff
off my shoulders, and most of the time coming directly from
work and asking nothing in return. That is the reason she got
mention for the Appreciation award.
We also had a moment of silence this year for members we
have lost, this year was tough, in that we lost Todd
McWilliams, and Dan Rhien, both good friends and great
members of the club whom we will miss.
We had a good night for the kit raffle as we had 5 pulls and 5
different winners, John Vhalakis, Chuck Rehberger, Jonathan
Kuna, Bill (long time, no see) Merz and Joel Brower.
Don't forget to check your newsletters, last month we had the
2014 quarterly contests and themes, copy them and put them
somewhere that you won't lose them so that you are ready for
this year’s awards. Build them, enter them, and have fun,
because that is what it is all about, I can't say it enough,
IT'S ONLY A HOBBY, SO KEEP IT FUN.
CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
_________________________________________________________
If there is any severe weather and we have to
cancel a meeting, it will be posted on the
JSMCC message board as well as an e-mail
sent out to all members
Please check with Dave Wood to be sure we
have your current e-mail address.
I did write down the winners from our annual kit bash contest
though and they are as follows, 3rd place went to Tory
Mucaro, 2nd place went to Ed Isnardi and 1st place went to
Walt Frey. Congratulations to all of the winners, and thanks to
all of you who entered. We had thirteen entrants this year, not
counting all the models that went into Ed's entry. Great job on
all the builds, I cannot wait to see what comes out of the
Sizzler re-issue that was voted to be our 2014 kit bash kit. It
was close but maybe Mike C can get a commercial vehicle to
win it next time. The Louisville Hauler only lost by 1 vote.
Remember you got to enter to be able to vote on the next
years build.
Along those lines congratulations are also in order for our
quarterly contest winners, 5th place awards went to Doug
VanHouten and Larry Housman, 4th place awards went to
John White and Al Meske, 3rd place went to Chuck
Rehberger, 2nd place went to Dave Wood and 1st place went
to Tory Mucaro. Great job fellas.
One other award that I did not have in my hand that night, my
Presidents choice award, which is just something I do to
someone I feel is deserving of special recognition, went to my
Newsletter Rundown by Bob Kern
ell 2013 is behind us and 2014 is in its’ infancy. The
weather sure has been a bit drastic thus far this new
year so it’s a good thing we have a fun filled and info packed
newsletter this month for everyone to sit back relax and enjoy,
hopefully while in a nice warm environment. Pete is back with
part 2 of a recent article titled “Timing is Everything”. We have
our regular feature from Felix, “Did You Know??” and Chuck
has written a great kit review on the recent re-release of the
Ohio George Ford Ranchero. We have another offering that
we will try to bring you a few time a year that I like to call “A
Second Look”. It will be a feature story on a build we feel
deserves a second look. This time around we look at another
build by Tory Mucaro and this time take a second look at his
“Zombietle”. This was his paper bag build entry and we feel it
is deserving of a second look. We hope you enjoy these
contributions offered by fellow club members and don’t forget
we’d love to hear from some of you guys once in a while that
are sitting in the back rows.
W
Don’t forget if you have a tip, trick or technique you’d like to
share or if you built a newly released kit and want to review it
we are always looking and hoping members continue to
contribute to this newsletter. Don’t leave it up to the same
guys each month.
As always if you would like to contribute but don’t have access
to a computer or even e-mail no worries. Jot it down on some
paper and get it to Dave Wood and we will get it in to a future
issue of the newsletter.

Don’t forget, this is your club and your newsletter and it can
only remain fun, interesting and enjoyable with your help and
contributions. So review a kit you just built, if you attend a
show take some pictures, send them to us and tell us about
the show. You get the idea.

Who Makes the Rules on Building Models?
By Doug VanHouten
1st place Tory Mucaro
The Christmas Party was GREAT as usual, the food, the
Drinks and the Snacks were all GREAT as well. I’d like to
offer my thanks to John and his wife for their efforts in
organizing a great party again.
Unfortunately when it came to the Christmas Build I was very
DISAPPOINTED with the outcome. The Club voted on the
1957 Ford Revell kit. At one meeting someone asked if they
can build a 1957 Ford from another manufacturer and it was
made clear that the only one that can be used is the 1957
Ford from Revell kit, BUT there was three you can choose
from for you build.
2nd place Dave Wood
You had your choice of the Custom car, race car and the
Police car only. There was some Great models build to. But
someone throws a monkey wrench into the mix and changed
the rules and put the truck in the build. But it was not a 57
Ford that the Club voted on it. Is having a small component
of the kit acceptable? Or shouldn’t we be building what was
voted on using enough of the kit to recognize what it is.
I think that it was a SLAP IN THE FACE TO MEMBERS. The
members that cast votes on the build at the party were wrong.
They should have not had voted on the model on because it
was not a 1957 Ford from the Revell kit that was voted on.
There were other members that were not happy about the
outcome also. Why do we vote on the model to be built and
change the rules at the end? The Club Members should
make the rules and not one or two members, and it should be
vote on it by all members. This should be discussed and
voted on so all members are clear on next year’s contest
build.
3rd place Chuck Rehberger
4th place John White and Al Meske
5th place Doug VanHouten and Larry Housman

Did you know??
By Felix Plaza Jr.
Chevrolet Corvette
T
he Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car by the Chevrolet
division of General Motors (GM) that has been produced
in seven generations. The first model, a convertible, was
designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama
in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for
naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable
warship called a corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan
and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently
manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official
sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
A Corvette has been used as the Indianapolis 500 pace car
12 times.
First generation (1953–1962) (C1)
1954 Corvette Engine
This generation was often referred to as the "solid-axle"
models (the independent rear suspension was not
introduced until the second generation). 300 hand-built polo
white Corvette convertibles were produced for the 1953
model year.
1954 Corvette Chassis
1954 Corvette Convertible
The first generation Corvette was introduced late in the 1953
model year. Originally designed as a show car for the 1953
Motorama display at the New York Auto Show, it generated
enough interest to induce GM to make a production version
to sell to the public. To keep costs down, GM executive
Robert F. McLean mandated off-the-shelf mechanical
components, and used the chassis and suspension from the
1952 Chevy sedan. The drivetrain and passenger
compartment were moved rearward to achieve a 53/47 frontto-rear weight distribution. It had a 102-inch wheelbase. The
engine was the same inline six that powered all other
Chevrolet models, but with a higher-compression ratio, three
Carter side-draft carburetors, and a more aggressive cam.
Output was 150 horsepower. Because there was currently
no manual transmission available to Chevrolet rated to
handle 150 HP, a two-speed Powerglide automatic was
used. 0-60 mph time was 11.5 seconds. To keep tooling
costs in line, the body was made out of fiberglass instead of
steel. First production was on June 30, 1953.
The 1954 model year arrived quickly. It could now be
ordered in Pennant Blue, Sportsman Red and Black, or Polo
White. 3,640 were built, and sold slowly.

Newsletter
The 1955 model offered a 265 cu in (4.34 L) V8 engine as
an option. With a large inventory of unsold 1954 models, GM
limited production to 700 for 1955. With the V8, 0-60 mph
time improved to 8.5 seconds.
A new body was introduced for the 1956 model featuring a
new "face" and side coves; the tail-lamp fins were also gone.
An optional fuel injection system was made available in the
middle of the 1957 model year. It was one of the first massproduced engines in history to reach 1 bhp (0.75 kW) per
cubic inch (16.4 cubic cm) and Chevrolet's advertising
agency used a "one hp per cubic inch" slogan for advertising
the 283 bhp (211 kW) 283 cu in (4.64 L) Small-Block engine.
Other options included power windows (1956), hydraulically
operated power convertible top (1956), heavy duty brakes
and suspension (1957), and four speed manual transmission
(late 1957). Delco Radio transistorized signal-seeking
(hybrid) car radio, which used both vacuum tubes and
transistors in its radio's circuitry (1956).
In 1961, the rear of the car was completely redesigned with
the addition of a "duck tail" with four round lights. The light
treatment would continue for all following model year
Corvettes. In 1962, the Chevrolet 283 cu in (4.64 L) SmallBlock was enlarged to 327 cu in (5.36 L). In standard form it
produced 250 bhp (190 kW).
1962 Corvette 327 Engine
For an extra 12% over list price, the fuel-injected version
produced 360 bhp (270 kW), making it the fastest of the C1
generation. 1962 was also the last year for the wrap around
windshield, solid rear axle, and convertible-only body style.
The trunk lid and exposed headlamps did not reappear for
many decades.
The 1958 Corvette received a body and interior freshening
which included a longer front end with quad headlamps,
bumper exiting exhaust tips, a new steering wheel, and a
dashboard with all gauges mounted directly in front of the
driver. Exclusive to the 1958 model were hood louvers and
twin trunk spears. The 1959–60 model years had few
changes except a decreased amount of body chrome and
more powerful engine offerings.

Kit Review: Ohio George Little
Eliminator 1960 Ford Ranchero
More Vetts:
by Chuck Rehberger
A
few weeks ago the Ohio George Little Eliminator
1960 Ford Ranchero was re-issued by AMT /
Round2.
1962 Corvette Custom
The actual ranchero was awarded to Ohio George
Montgomery for winning "Little Eliminator" at the 1960
National Championship Drag Races at Detroit Dragway.
The Ford Falcon Ranchero kit was previously issued by AMT
Ertl in 1997 as a 1961 Custom Ranchero. The ’61 could
only be built as a custom car unless you raided your parts
box and you found a six cylinder engine and four lug rims
and early falcon hubcaps.
The kit can be built three ways, as the Ohio George Little
Eliminator, a custom or a service truck.
1962 Corvette Custom Interior
Did you know?
The kit features a newly tooled ‘60 grille/front bumper, head
and turn signal lights, stock mini-dog dish wheel covers, four
lug steel wheels, and nice no-name Tampo printed 13 inch
white wall tires. Thank you Round2…the kit is molded in
white plastic.
Guess who?
Page 6
Newsletter
The question everyone was asking before the kits release
was what kind of engine will it have? It would have been
nice if Round2 put a 170 or a 200 Ford straight six in it but
they didn’t. The 1960 Ford Ranchero never came with a V8
engine. The kit can’t be built stock because it still has the
big block Chevrolet V8.
Other than the Chevrolet V8 there aren’t too many
disappointments with the kit.
For a kit that came out in the 1960’s there was only a little
flash on the custom tube aerials that was about it. The body
has some mold seams inside the bed and on the top of the
quarter panels, but it’s nothing that can’t be remedied with a
little sanding.
The kit also includes additional custom parts; however they
are not listed on the instruction sheet. I suspect that they
came from earlier 3-n-1 issues of the Falcon Ranchero from
the sixties. Those parts include 2 louvers, a pair of fender
skirts, front and rear custom roll pans, a 2 piece custom front
grill, and a rear custom license plate holder. I plan on using
these custom parts on a few ’61 Falcon Rancheros I plan to
build. Does anyone know how and where you would mount
the Tube Aerials on a Ranchero?
The taillights are chrome and can be detailed nicely with
some Tamiya tail light transparent red. In the past I had to
sand and tweak and sand the front grill / bumper to get it to
fit and look halfway decent, maybe the ’60 grill / bumper will
fit a little better. Although I haven’t built mine with the stock 4
lug steel rims, I believe I’m going to have to shim out the
back of the rims so that they don’t sit in too far.
Another thing I noticed was there was quite a bit of oil or
release agent remaining on the body. You can bet mine will
be washed in warm soapy water and maybe even some
Westley’s Bleach White to remove any of the remaining oil.
Many original customizing parts from past issues of the
Ranchero kit are included. They include the following custom
parts that appeared in the 1997 issue, Tonneau cover,
pleated top, 2 mirrors, 2 tube aerials, 2 aerials, 2 sets of seat
belts; custom finned big block Chevrolet valve covers, 4 trispoke wheels and backing plates. Wide low profile tires that
only fit the tri-spoke wheels were not included.
JSMCC Club Member Doug VanHouten has been casting
resin re-pops of the Custom grills and extensions from the
old 60’s AMT Falcon Kits. Doug how about casting a resin 6
cylinder Ford engine?
The kit also includes two pieces of plastic which I’m not
really sure what they are. The first is a ½ by 4 inch plastic
strip which I believe could be used as a sanding stick with
wet or dry paper. The second is a two by three inch piece of
Page 7
Newsletter
plastic which could also be used as a sanding block or as a
piece of filler plastic for custom body work.
The kit still includes the AMT vintage Styline issue 3 piece
wall mount display hook.
Other really nice parts included for building the service
version include, push bumper, 2 two-piece gas and oil cans,
tool box, car jack, and trophy pedestal. There are decals for
the gas and oil can and a yellow and black diagonal stripe
for the push bumper.
Speaking of the decal sheet, here it is… It has the Ohio
George Little Eliminator lettering, 60’s Custom paint
graphics, Pinstriping, Scallops, and an Ohio 1960 “US114”
license plate.
Also included is an 8 page full color booklet on the Ohio
George Little Eliminator. It has some really nice color
pictures of the actual Ranchero for detailing references.
There is a photograph of his ’33 Willys Gasser which he won
with, before it became the “Malco Gasser.
My favorite picture in the booklet is that of the ranchero’s
interior with the “Cattle Brand” seat upholstery. It looks
exactly like the interior of my dad’s first new car, a black ’61
Ford Falcon 2 door station wagon.
So far I only built five ’61 Falcon Rancheros, a stock black
one that looks like my dad’s wagon, a candy apple blue
flamed custom, a silver Millennium Falcon (Star Wars
theme), a Tasca Ford Drag Car and the accompanying
Tasca Falcon Race Car transporter. I plan on building a
Wimbledon white Ohio George Little Eliminator and a 60’s
Custom Ranchero out of a ’61 with the left over extra
Custom Parts from the ’60.
The kit is a little more than a promo with an engine (the
wrong engine) that can be built as a 60’s custom. It’s a quick
and easy build, something to get you out of a slump. I would
recommend this kit, but don’t take my word for it ask “Mr.
Ranchero” Tom Geiger for a second opinion. You might was
to check out his Fotki page for his collection of Vintage AMT
Ford Ranchero builds.
You see these Falcon Ranchero built-ups built by some kid
fifty years ago, now you can build one with fifty years of
model building experience behind you.
Now start building!

A SECOND LOOK!!!
Building the “Zombietle”
By Tory Mucaro
A
s most of my projects go, the Zombietle came
about out of the need to complete a model for a
theme build. It is the result of choosing the Revell Snap
Together “New Beetle” and the color “Silver” in the
annual “Paper Bag Contest”. I have to admit I had no
idea what I was going to do with the kit and color I
choose. Then one day I was surfing the net and I
stumbled across a rendering of a Hyundai Veloster done
up as a zombie apocalypse survival vehicle and the die
was cast. It just seemed right, the current zombie craze
in both movies and on television seemed to almost
mandate it.
The Inspiration
So I set about converting my little Revell New Beetle into
a force to be reckoned with. I started by framing what
would be the armor plated areas with Evergreen .040”
square styrene strips. Once an outline was completed, I
filled it in with good old Bondo body filler. I cut a circular
hole in the rear roof to accommodate the gun turret
using my moto-tool. The tube is a piece of styrene
turned to the correct diameter on my lathe and glued in
Page 9

place. Now I framed the windows with Evergreen strips
and glued sections of Evergreen styrene tubing in place
to anchor the barbed wire. I bent some soft aluminum
.060” rod into bars for the windshield using the good old
trial and error technique. At this point I primed the body
to see if any additional filling and sanding was needed.
Once the body with its armor plating looked smooth, I
added the rivets using a plastic syringe and some
Elmer’s Wood Glue. Spacing was eyeballed as I felt if it
wasn’t perfect it would reflect how an actual car would
be constructed in a post-apocalyptic world.
Work In progress
The sandbags were fashioned from Super Sculpy,
formed over the hood and then removed and baked to
harden into their final form. The turret, hatch, door flame
burners, front brush bar, fender flares and chainsaws
were all digitally modeled and output on a 3-D printer.
The machine gun and Jerry can were taken from the
MPC Hogan’s Heroes Jeep kit. The side saw blades are
plastic knives cut down and the front metal “teeth” were
cut from more Evergreen styrene stock. The interior was
pretty much left stock as it wouldn’t be very visible
through all the protective window treatments. The
barbed wire was fashioned using a technique I found on
YouTube for making barbed wire for war gaming. The
bungee cords were made from fine soft wire (same as
used for barbed wire) and elastic thread I found at a
sewing store.
The body was painted with Tamiya Titanium Silver and
Grey Metallic acrylics. It was clear coated with Tamiya
Clear Gloss spray paint. The skull and crossbones
decals were created in Photoshop and printed on clear
decal film from Micro Mark. They were applied to the
gloss coated body along with the warning markings
taken from a spare helicopter decal sheet. When dry the
body was given a coat of Model Master Flat Clear
acrylic. Floquil Grimy Black washes were used to bring
out the details and black pastel was applied with a fine
brush to depict the streaking. When the body looked
sufficiently grungy an additional coat of clear flat was
applied to seal the weathering.
The saws, door burners and machine gun were painted
Tamiya Gunmetal and the edges of the saws were
masked and sprayed with Alclad II Chrome to represent
razor sharp metal. The sandbags were painted Polly
Scale Mud and given a Model Master Burnt Umber
wash. When dry they were dry-brushed with Testors
Light Tan and then given a coat of Model Master Flat
Clear acrylic.
Page 10
Newsletter
The Jerry can was painted Krylon Allis Chalmers
Orange, given a Grimy Black wash and then a coat of
clear flat. The chainsaws were painted Krylon Kubota
Orange and Tamiya Bare Metal Silver and weathered
with Grimy Black washes over which a flat clear coat
was applied.
Ready for Zombies
The wheels and tires are from my spares box and were
originally from an Impala SS kit of unknown origin. The
wheels and tires were given a coat of Model Master
Clear Flat acrylic and the wheels a wash of Grimy Black
and then the front wheels were given a light coat of
thinned Grimy Black airbrushed on lightly to simulate
brake dust. The fender flares were painted Tamiya Grey
Metallic and dry-brushed with Testors Steel. Once
everything was painted the model was assembled, minor
touch up applied and final details applied. I thought
about adding some gore, but decided to take the high
road so as not to gross anyone out.
Finally the base was digitally modeled and output on the
3-D printer. The road surface is from the kit box bottom
with some dried blood spatters added with Floquil
Tuscan Red for context (I couldn’t resist!). The base was
painted Krylon Flat Black and the nameplate was
airbrushed various shades of green for the lettering and
black for the background. The edge was painted Tamiya
Grey Metallic.
And that’s about it. I am delighted it has been so well
received. I have to admit it is one of my favorite builds to
date. It has a certain charm probably owed much to the
little Beetle that lies beneath the zombie killer exterior.
Thanks to Tory for the write up and pictures. This is another one of his fantastic builds and was definitely worth a second
look. We hope you all agree!

Timing Is Everything Part II
Newsletter
By Pete Linszky
Faithful readers will recall our recent article concerning the
model builds of the Yonts Bros. from the 1960’s. We focused
on the dragster builds that were featured in the model car
magazines of the day.
Further research by your author has found more information
regarding these fascinating builds of the era… Here we go with
the numbers again! Fifty years ago this August (1964) ROD &
CUSTOM MODELS magazine was on the newsstand. For a
mere $.50 a kid could see, in full color, the efforts of some of
the great builders of the time, Tom Yonts among them. In this
August 1964 issue Tom Yont’s began what would be an
extensive THREE part article on the construction of one of his
fantastic dragsters.
Titled “CALIFORNIA FUEL DRAGSTERS” it details the nuts
and bolts of the build based on the then popular and available
SIZZLER Dragster by Monogram. Superb photography walks
the builder step by step through the world of 1964 state of the
art fuel dragster model builds. The articles ran consecutively
from the August issue through the October issue of ROD &
CUSTOM models. With color shots of the now completed
Yonts dragster included in the final October chapter.
If the recent release of the Monogram “SLINGSTER” dragster,
essentially a 1/25 scale version of the old SIZZLER has you
excited, consider finding old issues of the magazines
mentioned and go for it!!!
Oh and by the way, DON EMMONS, model builder
extraordinaire, penned an article in the October issue of ROD
& CUSTOM Models entitled “Fiat for the shelf”. In this photo
laden piece Emmons puts together a Fiat bodied
B/Competition coupe of sorts using essentially all Revell parts
of the era.
Cutting up the Fiat body in a manner popular in the day and
draping it over a Revell Tony Nancy dragster chassis, and
finally throwing in an injected Corvette engine, Emmons
captures the era to perfection!
This build as well can be easily duplicated today using the
recent release of the AMT Double Dragster kit (Fiat bodied
Altered included) and the reissue of the Revell Tony Nancy
double dragster kit…for real authenticity add a Revell Parts
pack ‘vette mill and stir!!!
