I'll join in with a few of mine. First is my take on the Alternomad:

AMT '65 Chevelle Malibu, with Monogram Z-16 driverrain, wheels/tires, and interior. Notice 3rd seat, which Chevy didn't offer!:

Polar Lights Ecto 1 '59 Cadillac Ambulance/S&S Hearse (From the movie "Harold & Maude", but with a lowered suspension, Cragar S/S wheels, and Eldorado taillight pods):

I've always been a fan of wagons, and I have several more in the works!

MCM Ohana, I love that '15 center-door T rat rod. Awesome! I presume it has a periscope for the driver ... Ha!

Everyone else ... great models. As for me, too many kits, not enough time. But, here are a few of my Waldorf Nomad bash. Two AMT '55 Nomads, one each AMT and Monogram '53 Vette, plus some scratch built parts. Engine is the Stovebolt with Vette tri-carbs and split manifold (like I had on my 1:1 '51 Bel Air). Love that sound! The trim is done with Identicolor rub-down transfers from my 4x artwork, ditto the Nomad plate.

Does a stretched van qualify? Made from two AMT Vandura kits. Engine is 525ci Chev V-12 (made from combining two 350 V-8 Mouse Motors, 6-cyl from each block). Yes, it is languishing "unfinished." This was inspired by a both a Ford Econoline regional bus I saw in Idaho years ago (July 1971) and a stretched Corvair Greenbriar that had a Rat Motor mounted backwards in the back driving through a '66 Corvair transaxle (circa 1978).
