This was done a few years ago. It was a 70's kit and a real glue bomb. Made a delivery truck with the stake bed from a Lindberg 34 pickup kit.

Just unpacked for the first time in decades. Was in a box padded by kleenex.

This is the 1/24 scale Monogram kit.

Old build I just unpacked. From the days when I had a steady hand and painted the trim.

Not going to change a thing just reglued two parts and put it in a case on display!

Sweet!!! Great colors and the ralley wheels are just right for it!

Really catches the spirit of the original! I have this one to do as a honey do for the wife!

Beautiful build! All of your builds are always so clean!

Beautiful build of a cool car! The wheels are a perfect match for it!

Just found this in a box of old stuff the wife kept from before we were married! I gave this to her when we were going steady! Didn't even know it still existed and the only part that fell off was the tie rod! Noticed I glued the headers on upside down!

Just pulled them out of the closet after about three years. Been there since we moved. Some built in the 80's.

The ones I remember had either 10 inch full reverse US aluminum slots or Cragar SS on the back 6 inch with a 3 inch offset on the front with Mickey Thompson Indy Profiles all around L60's back and F 70's on the front! Of course the needed Gabriel HiJackers to clear the rear rubber with torsion bars adjusted to raise the front!!LOL

The wife's sister said her boyfriend was having issues and I told her to tell him to go get checked but she said he was taking something that he got from the health food store. 18 month later he has a tube though his belly direct to his bladder and now a tube running from each kidney all running to a bag on his leg. Taking chemo pills and bi-weekly appointments. Next week the will do surgery to plumb all three tubes into one. Just had mine checked last month, blood and physical checks and everything is good. My doctor said they quit doing the PSA yearly because the insurance companies and even medicare said they are not that accurate said they had a lot of false positives that led to unnecessary tests and procedures. Sounds more like they don't want to pay for what you pay them for.

By Illinois law the 50+ housing we live in (4 triplex units) installed all new 10 year smoke/o2 detectors. 8 of those now sit deactivated in the maintainence room because they were going off at all hours day and night for no reason! The maint. guy put new battery units back in and still has not gotten a response from Kidde on what the deal is. I just changed batteries in ours with the time change. Heard other people with the same issues with other brands! Sent one 90 year old lady to the hospital when her's went off at 3am and about scared her to death!

More coming soon! Finally got the bad paint off, the hard way as nothing seemed to touch it, even a two month long soak in the purple pond nor easy off! Ended up with a lot of careful sanding and brake fluid.

More coming soon! Finally found the thread!

Looks ready to mount and ride! Beautiful!!!

Got this in a trade had some broken parts like one of the headers and mounting pins missing on some parts. Didn't like all the chrome so full coated the intake, did a light gold/silver on the carb, did the starter in aluminum and semi gloss black Repainted the heads aluminum, the headers in flat black. Don't understand the ac compresser but looked naked without it so went ahead and added it.

Someone years back from a model forum sent this to me all disassembled. Now in the process of reassembling it but decided to do a little detailing of my own. Only source I find to figure out how it all fits are a few poor videos on youtube.

My wife is a keeper so we now have 73 puppies in a keepsake box. 1 for every year we were married + 20 because we both would donate some years at different places.

Merry Birthmas Carl!

Calling this one done other than decals later on.

Now that is a great setup !

Rats with bushy tails. I was looking for an old picture of grandpa on the porch swing with a squirrel next to him taking a peanut and all around the ceiling of the porch about 30 squirrel tails hanging! Every kid in the neighborhood had one or two on their handle bars! He was an avid hunter but if someone was harassing a squirrel in the neighborhood he would tell at them to knock it off! LOL
