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.

Porsche 914 Project Part 5: Get the lead out! I’m making this one do wheelies.
Переглядів 42921 день тому
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. Be sure to look for the descriptions with Gold Stars as those are the only example of that vehicle that is known today. @tampabayautomobilemuseum #modelca...

I’ve been watching Jimmy’s World as he and his team turn a practically abandoned Lockheed Jetstar that was once owned by Elvis Presley into a head turning RV. They just finished it so I took a ride to check it out. Should I put this one on my scale model list? Don’t Be Cruel! @therealjimmysworld #Elvisjet #oshkoshwisconsin #oshkosh #elvis #motorhome

I’m turning a 914 into a crazy wheel standing exhibition car for the Second Annual Porsche Group Build. Since I got the interior under control, it was time to get serious about how the chassis and suspension are going to work.

Looked like a fun show! Congrats on the awards!
Looked like a great show!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Ox! Glad you enjoyed it.
What kind model car is your thumb nail? That would be a cool lowrider. 😎
Are you referring to the thumbnail for this video? It is a Cadillac lowrider build by one of those in attendance.
@@timkustom Nice I've never seen one. It has great body lines and flows. Thanks,
Looks like a very awesome show lotta cool builds and congratulations on the award
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the coverage.
Congratulations on your reward. Very cool stuff
Thanks so much. I typically don't mention them, but an overall doesn't happen very often. Glad you enjoyed the coverage.
Congratulations on your awards! Thanks for sharing. It looks like Gundam is growing. Hopefully, it will bring the younger group back into model building.
Gundam does seem to attract the next generation of kit builders. Some of the kits are quite expensive and have many accessories. Time will tell. Thanks for watching.
Did the same modeller do all 3 different Van Halen Frankenstein builds?
Unsure, but doubt it. It is an iconic scheme.
@@timkustom When and Where and What is YOUR Frankenstein build gonna be?
Nice show coverage Tim. Congrats on the awards.
Thanks! It was quite a surprise. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very cool 😎
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
That’s such a great story Tim, and it came out great! You really did capture the spirit of your Dad’s build!
Thanks Frank! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great memories! Thanks for sharing !
Yep and that model is back on the shelf. Stay tuned, I think it has a friend....
Love the story and the build. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and I just subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the sub!
I too am a son of a model builder. THAT'S how I got into this hobby! Glad for it too. So thanks to my Pops(God rest his soul)for getting me interested at such a young age(4 years old). What a great tribute Tim. Thanks for the ever-so-cool video, and ALWAYS being an inspiration! I've learned to always think outside of the box, in the sense of stepping up my game... See ya next time!
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Glad to inspire and stay tuned, this one might have a friend!
Great tribute to your Father Tim!! Awesome story behind the build too, I love it thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Sarge. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great story, nice tribute, and a very nice mid '60s Galaxie. Cheers, Graham
Thanks Graham. Glad you enjoyed it!
Tim I love to see a vintage style build ❤😊
Thanks! It was a fun build. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great tribute to your father! It's great that you still have some of his builds. I'm glad I still have the one my dad built too.
Very cool you have your Dad's as well. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I think it's Awesome you have your Dad's build's!!!! Great job on the clone. Thanks for sharing
It is pretty awesome they have survived all this time. I thought about restoring his, but it was more fun to build it again.
Awesome story and great result, Tom 👍😎
Thanks Grumpy! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very cool models and story - thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks! I see your Red Baron. Got a story about that one for another day. Glad you enjoyed it.
Cool, cool cool 👍👍👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome - this is what the hobby is about 👍👍👍 I wish now that I didn’t destroy the builds of my youth.
I destroyed quite a few, trying to "fix them up". Got some more stories about those someday. Stay tuned.
Excellent project!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love the story and the build
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very cool project! I can tell it is a heartfelt story. A chance relive some childhood memories. My brother got me involved in modeling. I purchased the AMT 66 Mustang fastback to build the Tasca Ford drag car. My brother built one back in the day.
Very cool! I've got a Mustang fastback built up as well. It will get a video someday. Thanks for watching.
❤
Thanks!
Great tribute to your father's build. Great back story too. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Awesome build Tim and a great story to go along with it
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Adding a story or some history to a build really seems to bring it alive. Awesome job with this project!
I try to add a story to the builds. Agree, it makes them more interesting. Thanks for watching.
Great back story for this build. Really cool job on the new one.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
My first car was the 65 1/2 Ford LTD with fender skirts and factory side pipes. 390 CI four barrel ! Been my favorite car ever since! Lotta good memories! However, my car was low to the ground opposite of your dad’s car!! Very cool Tim!!! 👍🏻🏆🫡🇺🇸
Factory side pipes? Dunno if I've ever seen one of those. These are cool cars. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@timkustom yep they had fomoco stamped on there backsides! It even had the Pyrex headlight covers!👍🏻🫡🇺🇸
Very cool build and a great story to go with
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great story.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for the inspiration and the push to take this ride. Glad to call you a friend my friend!
A nice look back and forward! Many of these I remember. This video let me know I have tuned in for a good deal of the ride you taken us on so far. I somehow missed the Hover Car and I will "Double Back Again" to check it out. Congratulations on putting out some much imaginative content and amazing automotive artwork! That mocked up Goat looks amazing!
Thanks so much. The hover car series is one of my favorites. Really went outside my box for that one. LOL! Stay tuned on the GTO, got a few tricks for that one as well.
I've enjoyed every one of your videos
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Awesome builds Tim,thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and glad you have enjoyed them.
Very cool stuff.And I think the bird turd is bitchn lol
It’s hard to pick a favorite Tim, they all simply amaze me. Please keep doing what you do and don’t change a thing.
Thanks so much SME! Glad you enjoy them! Much more planned for the future.
Dr.Demento!!! I LIKE THAT!!!! I like'em all!!! Looking forward to the next 100 videos!
Glad you like 'em! Got many more stories to tell.
Great looking builds!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed them.
Congrats Tim!
Thanks!
Tim. Thank you for you crazy mind. You think outside the box. I'm blessed to have found you. You showed us that the imagination can do anything. Keep up the videos. With all your beautiful thoughts. Just keep doing what your doing .
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy them and there are many more to come.
Congratulations, Tim, McLovin your videos.
Thanks! Now I want a cheeseburger!
Congratulations! You always boggle my mind and inspire me to start building something different and stretch my skills. Keep the videos coming!
It's fun to have the mind boggled! This hobby often does mine! Glad to inspire and thanks for watching!
Congratulations. I've watched every video you've made. Funny thing is that, I subscribed instantly after recognizing you in Doug Whyte's video. And why I recognized you in that, is that I have couple of old Scale Auto Enthusiast magazines. Your's Coral Aura is in the cover of April 1996 issue.
Thanks! Yes that model has its own story and have plans to discuss that one further sometime in the future. Glad you enjoy them and thanks for watching!
