My daughter drives an 2002. We originally got it for my son in 2011 when he turned 16. He never drove it, it just sat for about ten years. Then my other daughters boyfriend needed a car so he drove it about 2 months before it quit running. ( I didn't want him driving it anyway) It sat again for years and when my youngest turned 16 last year, she needed a car. I put a starter on it, fuel pump, fixed some bad brake lines and gave it a basic tune up. She's been running it since. It's not a bad little car. Hard to believe it's 23 years old, almost a classic. God I'm old. She complains like the other kids that it doesn't have air conditioning and you have to crank the windows by hand but that's just how spoiled kids are today. They want all the comforts in a first car. I was just happy to have something to get me from point A to point B.

just a few...

Sweet!

I'm not happy with it but it's done

Very cool and well done. I did one a lot like it a while back and called it before & after. It was a 64 Ford Galaxie.

I sell everything I build. The fun for me is building the model. Once it's done so am I, on with the next one. Now, I know I don't "make" money but I do usually get enough to keep me stocked with more kits and supplies. I buy a lot of rebuilders cheap and I'm not spending crazy money on aftermarket and 3d printed stuff. If I can't make it the model doesn't get it. Years ago I sold my Hippie bus for over $500 and just recently a Nova body for $40 on ebay. I normally start them at $19.99 and let'em go. Whatever I get, I get. It's nice to get $100 or 2 out of a model but they can't all be like that. I find building something is (mostly) calming and relaxing so that's worth something to me. Even if I'm not getting paid what the "work" is worth, I'm ok with that.

Finished this Nova body today, A quick 2 day project, now for sale on ebay.

Looking great! I found some more pics of that engine in a car.

Great project, I can't wait to see it come together. This reminds me of the A that I built a while back. I remember you commenting on it. Incase you don't remember, here's some more inspiration pics to check out.

Been working on this "T" again for a bit. This is the 2nd engine in the past 2 years. The last one ran good but had a quarter size hole in the block up in next to the valve guide. We got this one in a while back & got it running 2 weeks ago. Then found out the rear end was shot, changed that last week. Went for a little ride today, blew the front tire and found out the steering is loose as hello.

A shame about the paint but you'll have it just how you want it soon.

Working on the International, REALLY want to build the Dodge and sooo many wreckers.

Thanks Jerry!

I'm still trying! Thanks! I'm still unsure about an engine. I seriously considered just that, because 53 was the last year of the Ford Flathead v8 and I have plenty of them. More thought on that when the bodywork looks better. My brain can't handle more than 1 thing at a time.🥴🤪

This is one of RMR grills. Not too bad looking to me.

I've been cutting, sanding & figuring things out. I really needed to reconnect the fenders so I built a radiator support. I got rid of the fender flares and reworked the bottom of the grill. It's getting a little better.

Great minds...

Thanks Jose, I'm working on it. Thanks Charles, I've been working on it. It's not in a box, the garbage or smashed against the wall. YET🤨 Thanks Michael.

You need some Zippi's Garage decals made for the sides. Great build as always.

This is one of my favorite trucks and one of the hardest kits to build for me. Good luck, I'll be watching!

Man, I wish I could build something this nice. Great job, I love it!

Nova, the sneaky brat...

As always, WOW!

Great build Pat, I love that blue!

If you go to the RMR site and the item says it's out of stock, just email them and they will get you what you need. I've ordered one of these before grills and some other stuff.
