    Hi James! The fun part is you don't have to choose LOL! Thanks for the comments. CT

    Hi Joe! Thanks for the compliments. I had built the kit once in the 60's, and I wanted to make something special out of it, It became the Boot Hill DRIFTER. Can't stop the march of progress, I guess... CT

    Hi Andreas! Very, very nice, and the paint scheme is spot-on. So many mods in such a small space... Bravo! CT

    HI! Of all things, 2022 saw the return of model shows, with the chance to mingle with friends and fellow modelers. What a great return to normalcy! I completed 10 projects in 2022, and tried to cover diverse fields. But... rods and vintage funny cars loom large, with a Bonneville car thrown in for good measure. So, have a nice holiday season, and may the gods of styrene be on your side in 2023! CT

    "Listen to what the man said" was a huge hit for McCarthney & Wings. ct

    Hi Tim! As usual with your creations, this is true work of art. You are obviously a master of "mix-media". All I can add is that so much quality, concentrated in such a small space, is "good for the soul". Bravo! CT

    Hi Joe! Thanks for the great overview! CT

    Salut Pierre! Wow, very neat. The gaps of the hood and trunk are surgically precise. Bravo! CT

    Hi Doug! Wow, the triumph of patience. Riding this thing would be "airy". Bravo! CT

    Hi Tim! Very nice, well assorted, and... RARE! Bravo! CT

    HI! In my case (the silver car above), yes indeed. CT

    Salut Jean-Philippe! Wow, very impressive, and rare! Your attention to detail is spectacular, bravo! CT

    Hi Gerald! Thank you so much for the many detailed pics. Good inspiration here! CT

    Hi Mike! Thank you. Indeed, there is so much sparkle in that Diamond Dust Testor's lacquer, that you are right: the slightest glitch or wave will show. Oh well... CT

    Hi Francis! Now, you have me worried. Making your own tail lamps is nice, but be aware that here in Quebec, the DOT zealots are totally inflexible. You WILL have to scribe them with the "DOT Certified" markings, otherwise, you'll not be allowed to use the car. Take it from someone who's been there: they are watching... Nice to follow your new project. Keep whittling at it! CT

    Thank you Patrick, happy you like it! CT

    Hi Rob! That IRS was primo material for putting a real cheap IRS on a 1/1 rod. I did it on a 33 roadster, building custom upper and lower arms (the OEMs are extremely heavy, so). See for yourself... CT

    Hi Zenon! Thank you. Whatever you attempt, stay away from swapping an 83/86 roof on an 87/88 body. Much easier to just fit the rear wheels opening: the roofs are substantially differents, notably the rear window and pillars. And the trunk lid. Good luck! CT

    Hi Zenon! I did just that a few years ago (see pix below). I transplanted the 87 chassis/interior AND rear quarter wheel openings on the Monogram 85 TBird pro-stock body. I customized the front end with hidden headlamps, and threw in a 429 Boss with scratchbuilt injection for fun. The bodywork required to blend the lower quarter panels on the Pro Stock body took some time, but it fits. Good luck with your project. I did mine because I had an 85 1/1 Turbo coupe back then. Nostalgia... CT
