we have had snow on the ground since october.
and it is falling right now. we have lost gardens we planted
After Memorial Day due to the snow & cold.
I Love Montana!
looks awesome.
a wicked AWB replica.
somewhere I have some footage of the Dick Landy AWB '65 Coronet.
I'm going to have to find that film and see if it was running injection, too.
Beautiful build up.
sorry, had to go dig this Camaro out of storage.
I built this kit box stock. only added the white hockey-stick stripe to the car.
engine:
this kit, despite its obvious flaws, does include some nice parts.
Dana 60 rear end:
as almost everyone who entered this particular CBP was building the Revell
version (which is light years better than this kit) I built this just to be different. and it was only $7.50.....
my first car was a 1970 Dodge Super Bee.
so I'm partial to B Body Mopars.
but alas, I was raised in a Ford family,
so I'll have to go with this:
my little 1971 Ford Torino GT.
This looks very cool.
I was always attracted to these Pontiacs.
our neighbour had a '65 Catalina 2+2 with a 421.
that thing was beautiful.
Your build up is sweet.
after searching for many years, and never finding one,
I just received an email from my online distributor..............
A 1961 Ford Starliner is coming!
Now I'm gonna have to track down a few 1960 Galaxie kits for chassis donors.
apparently this '61 is going to be more of a curbside kit.
Now I can build a replica of a car I knew years & years ago.
a '61 Starliner with a 427 SOHC.....
Thank You. I like it.
out of the entire five bedroom house, my wife allowed me one room
for my stuff. very kind of her, and I isolate my hobbies to this one room.
oh, and the garage......uh, and a Shed out by the barn.
after completing a model, I usually display it.
my model room is full of recycled displays.
Here is the Ford display (recycled cigar case):
Here is the Mopar display (recycled China cabinet):
and finally, the General Motors display (recycled Dentist cabinet):
The dentist cabinet has a nice storage area underneath the display area.
I place older builds in their original boxes and store them in there.
overflow models get placed into boxes and put in the rafters of my garage.
very nice build up.
this vehicle reminds me of a 1:1 Snowmobile hauler we had when I was a boy.
only it was a '48 Chevy with a flatbed. That old truck was indestructible.
As an FYI, There is an American diecast company, "Johnny Lightning"
that made a Snowmobile in their line of diecast.
why would I share this info?
Because they are 1/25 scale!
