Hot Rods and Motor Bikes - Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

Now that the weather has been nicer, I've been seeing a lot of classic cars, muscle cars, hot rods, and motorcycles on the road lately.  I always enjoy seeing clubs have impromptu car shows at some greasy spoon diner.  So this scroll saw challenge, we're celebrating our love of wheels and the open road.  Any car or motorcycle project can be posted.  If you're looking for something to cut, check out the Transportation category in the Pattern Library.  Tons of cool stuff in there.

Enjoy!

Here's one of my older patterns.  Maybe I'll finally get some time to cut it.

Cars! I got lots of cars! I did all of the designs except the 2 Studebakers. They are done by Charles Dearing at Wood Visions. The '57 Hawk has 400 holes in the grill, ugh! I have gifted a fair amount over the years.

About the only car related project I've done is a scrolled out a throttle plate for a International carburator. Worked like a charm for the rest of the vehicle life. Weirdest project as well, wired the silly thing on with pipe cleaners.

I knew @munzieb would have a  real response to this thread.  To add to his, here are my two. Patterns done by him.  Both cars I owned.  The Alpha was the first car I purchased after my discharge from the service.  I saved the whole time I was in the service to buy a sportscar when I got out.  The second one, Sunbeam Tiger, was my favorite car of all I have owned.  Poor Man's Cobra.  Had a V8 stuffed into it.  Awesome little car.

I've cut a few "Transportation" worthy pieces. The motorcycle was challenging because of the long narrow strips and the fins on the motor. However, the stagecoach is a piece that was most challenging. If I remember correctly it is a few holes short of 1500. To me, completing a piece that tests my abilities is very rewarding.

All fantastic projects. Great work!

Loving all of these!!!  Any idea where one might find a pattern for a '72 Chevelle?  Always loved the lines of that beast.

A couple of cars I've done, wanting to say these came from Botas or the library here.

Dang.  Yet another of his I'll have to add to my ever-growing pile of to-be-cut patterns.   Could've sworn I'd looked on his site...I'll take another gander at his patterns.  Thanks!!!

A Jon Marshall pattern I cut last year.

Wow! that's a beaut!

Steve Good design   It was NOT fun!  I know it’s not a car or a motorcycle.  It IS transportation.  Let’s assume he is transporting motor bikes.

A friend asked me to cut a puzzle of her dad’s MG. He built it by hand from the ground up over a number of years by either going to swap meets for parts or sometimes fabricating them himself.
