My latest build is this 1997 Plymouth Prowler painted in HOK cherry pearl.  I filled the original headlight area and the rear pan.  The big surprise will be revealed shortly.

And here's the surprise - it's got a HEMI

Finished today!  Painted in HOK cinder red with some kandy tangerine over that and cleared.  I really messed up the box so I scratched one up and made it a work truck.  The owner is a welder.  Can't see much on the interior shot.  Sorry.  The engine is from the '50 Olds kit, only I modified it a little.

I used the portable Polaroid photo booth for these pics.  I hope they're better than my past pics.  Suggestions are certainly welcome.

Here's one I finished today - the AMT Ice Cycle.  Not much to the kit, but what a fun build!  I used HOK white with some magic sprinkles in the first clear coat and then some kandy apple red for highlights. 

Does anybody have any experience with buying items off ebay from Tokyo H0obby?   They have several sets of Fujimi wheels/tires I'd like to have.

I was so impressed with James Ries (James2) "Surf Rod" '32 Ford sedan that I wanted to build something similar.  I've build full fendered cars of this period, so this is a little out of my comfort zone.  Anyway, here it is.  Root Beer Float is painted in HOK root beer kandy over a stratto blue basecoat.  Interior and roof are done in Model Master light ivory and dark tan.  Hence, the "Root Beer Float" name.  The flatty engine is there but has Ardun heads and a FHP distributor.  Interior is from the kit but I added Buick GSX door handles.  The rear end is filled with taillights down low.  Rear tires are MA's Resin massive M/T Sportsman's.
