Ramfins59 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 My "Crown Jewel" model would have to be a '49 Mercury convertible Custom I built about 10 or so years ago using a resin conversion body from Replicas & Miniatures Co of MD along with the custom chopped coupe kit. It has placed First Place Custom, Best Interior, and Best In Show at 3 separate shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I'm also proud of these two "survivor" MPC '68 GTOs I restored in 2016. The one in the background I built in 1968, the closer one I bought as a rebuilder from Spotlight Hobbies in the late '80s. Both are still wearing their original paint.

Grumpa Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I've got one or two, but this '59 Impala was a rebuilder off of "Ebay". Needed a bit of body work, but turned out to my satisfaction when it was finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rusty, here is the link to the WIP thread on the Phaeton, the Vicky WIP thread has already lost its photos. I haven’t posted Under Glass threads on either, so perhaps I’ll do that soon. Both Deuces were built for two separate Deuce Days in Victoria at which our club hosts a display of scale versions.

Tom Geiger Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Seems OP was going for the best / rarest kit in your collection, but it’s gone off into your most significant / favorite builds, which is actually more interesting.. so I’ll play.. I built this pair back in late 1990s. Still my two favorite builds. Where they reside today.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy, the color scheme of that '59 Edsel is just beautiful, but there's something about that deep red '60(?) pickup that speaks to me. Very nice collection!

89AKurt Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I'll pick only one. The history behind it is more interesting. After attending a GSL show, I camped near Goblin Valley State Park, hiked through a slot canyon, saw one rock that is the perfect scale version of "slick rock", found some similar ones, packed it home, almost forgot about it. When I found it, used up a diamond hacksaw blade cutting the rock in half. The kit is fairly common, not a street rod, sorry. It has won several first place awards.
