Workbench Full of Projects

January 12, 2024

I would never be hired based on the excellent organization of my workbench, but at least it’s interesting to explore. This shaky clip shows and describes a random day's projects in progress from the top of the bench down to the desktop.

Each project subtitled in the video is shown below with a brief description.

Resto Porsche #4

The #4 Restoration Porsche is the last to be completed. It needs final sanding and paint plus some graphics.

The three already completed are shown above.

Porsche G935 #1

This is the first of four Co-Hog Porsche G935's with more refinements of the overall forms. The graphics have also been prototyped several times during development. It's getting closer to being done.

The next three G935’s are being updated as #1 is finalized.

G935 #2

Wing parts and rear fender bottoms for G935 #2 have been cleaned up, primed, filled, and sanded prior to another coat of primer.

Porsche 956/962

Two wings for 956/962 repairs are waiting for final color. Two already repaired pieces are shown here: the #7 Newman (40/150 FE) car and the #8 Marlboro (1/150 FE) car.

The original plan was to make the entire series with minimal graphics, like #8, but the majority were completed with more extensive liveries.

Resto Porsche #4

Six five-spoke Porsche wheels are being prepped for the #4 Restoration Porsche. If I need four of something I always make extra just in case.

This will be the one Restoration Porsche I keep so I’m making it a little different.

Fiat 124

And then there is the one and only Fiat 124 Sport Coupe that I'm making for my wife. It was her first car and brings back many great memories for both of us. It'll be red like hers but rust and maintenance-free.

-

So, that's the workbench mess explained on that particular day. As each item progresses further and is eventually completed you'll see it here. There are, of course, numerous other projects also underway - they just aren't represented in this day's work pile.

Thanks for poking around in the mess with me!

Special Edition - Mercedes-Benz 380SEC AMG

AMG came on in a big way in the late 60s by building exquisite racing engines. By the mid-70s they were tuning select Mercedes-Benz models into absolute beasts. The combination of a fierce engine and finely tuned suspension mods with more aggressive bodywork led to more than a few unsuspecting drivers wondering what the devil had just passed them.

Lola T70 MK IIIB - 008 - Headlights Hurdle
February 6, 2026

As you might surmise, there are no straight lines surrounding the Lola T70 Mk IIIB Coupe headlights. Such a sensuous body demands curves just about everywhere. Three-dimensional curvilinear lines abound. The original 1982 version of the Co-Hog Lola had subtle grooves to delineate the headlight shapes. The resulting interior surfaces were then painted silver. Seems it would be a simple proposition to duplicate the idea on the totally reshaped nose of this restored version. There was only one problem - I’d forgotten how I did them 40-odd years ago!

Lola T70 MK IIIB - 007 - Stance Matters
October 3, 2025

Race cars have a stance that instantly catches and holds the eye. This effect is created by the relationship between the wheels and tires to the forms surrounding them. Aggressive, low, and ready to attack. The Lola T70 Mk IIIB Coupe is one of racing’s most sensuous race cars. It relies on its stance to help accomplish that.

Repair and renewal of the Lola T70 body have been my main focus but work on the other parts is ongoing simultaneously. An occasional dry reassembly gives me a feeling of progress and a sensible check that all is going in the right direction.

Special Edition - Ferrari 512 BB
July 25, 2025

The Co-Hog version of the Ferrari 512 BB was introduced in 1982 and a scant 45 were made. Two were given to Enzo Ferrari (#28), and Brenda Vernor, (#29), his private secretary for 16 years (1977-1993), by the late Gary Kohs (#33). Gary was an appreciative Ferrari collector who had been granted unusual access to photograph the complete build of his 1:1 512 BB and wanted to show his appreciation.

Commission - Porsche 917-10
June 13, 2025

One of the first Co-Hog commissioned sculptures I made was the Brumos Racing Porsche 917-10/007 as raced by Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood in Can-Am from 1972-1974. It was commissioned by a gentleman in Florida who was well-acquainted with many of the top drivers of the time.

It took a while, but I finally decided the front end had to be improved over my original (1982) Lola T70 MK IIIB sculptural interpretation. It just didn't do justice to the voluptuousness of Tony Southgate's original design. With so much more visual information available today, I've been working on gradually creating a whole new nose.

The first of only four Co-Hog Porsche G935's has been completed. Three more will be finished, one for each of my sons and a final one that will stay in the Co-Hog collection. It has been quite a development process as I've squeezed them in with the other on-going projects over the last 3+ years.

Formula One racing is about to begin again. Love it or hate it, drama at the highest-level swirls around it like a tornado. This Co-Hog Special Edition F1 distills the essence of an early 1980’s F1 race car into a 7" (18cm) long sculpture that looks like it’s ready for the coming season.
