Wonderfull work on display here. So many cool ideas.

However, I think it would be cool if a couple a words are written about each engiine. This thread is like a library for one's project, but for people like me who have been away from the hobby for a wile and are not familiar with which kit comes with what parts it is very confusing. I see people putting "55Chevy" on top of a picture of a Pontiac engine, which is not helpful. I know you can stuff that engine in just about anything, but the real question that would be helpful to everyone is where it came from. So please, I don't think it is too much to ask, put what and where from the engines are, instead of what they are in. For example "Revell's '32 engine with scratchbuild intake" or " whatever kit's flathead with Reps&Min. intake and blower" etc.

426 Hemi from Tommy Ivo F/E dragster kit. Detailed with all Pro Tech parts (braid, hex fittings, Cirello magneto kit, bolt heads, etc. etc.). Also scratchbuilt headers and gave the whole assembly a wash to give it a used look.

This might just be a first...I've never seen another like it!!! '62 Bel Air CUSTOCK-This was built by me years ago to show the differences between stock and custom,and also, that a little detailing can add a lot of visual impact.It was done as a school project,but also displayed in a hobby shop to help attract interest in the hobby.It was a fun project and I'm thinking about doing another.The entire car was done this way..vinyl bench seats for the passenger-custom leather seats for the driver,etc..
