Hi Steve! Wow, so spectacular, and realistic in the fit, textures, and choice of colors. A guy on my street had one just like yours back then. Bravo! I can tell by the boxes on the shelf in the last picture that you have a soft spot for large cruisers from the 60's. That makes two of us! Happy holidays! CT

Thanks Oliver! With two thumbs up, you already are very generous. Happy holidays! CT

Thanks Steve! My usual rythm is about 1 car finished every 5 weeks, but I always work on 2 or 3 at once, to not get bored, and to avoid being stopped by any normal delay (drying paint, primer, or chrome finish). It also provides time to reflect on the design, and implement profitable mods. AND... I'm retired, which says a lot! Happy holidays to you! CT

lots of smoke

Thanks Al! I appreciate your comment, but please, retain your voice: You'll need it in 2025! Happy holidays! CT

Thanks Donato for the kind words. It appears that, alas, I just can't stop. Oh well.... CT

Hi Sir! Thank you, and you are right: lotsa sanding and priming. You gotta do what you gotta do... CT

Hi Rich! Well, it looks like you found the last reserve of JOHAN kits available to mankind! I'm jealous. Bravo! CT

Hi Bob! Wow, your street rods all have the "perfect stance". And that grey pick-up is very unique. Bravo! CT

Hi Steve! Great variety, and the gullwing Vette is unique. Bravo! CT

Thanks David! I try to put as much effort as possible in my interiors, happy you like them! CT

Hi Tim! Well, you certainly went "beyond the call of duty". Quite the bunch. Bravo! CT

Well, Phil, you nailed it! Just like my memories of the Hot Rod Magazine cover. Nostalgia! CT

Thanks Mathias! Well, two are getting the finishing touches this week. Stay tuned for 2025! CT

Hi Phil! Thanks for the comments. Yesterday, I was reading an old Contest Cars, and a bright yellow 32 Ford Lakester of yours was featured. Wow, I love it. There can nerver be too many salt cars, isn't it? Happy holidays! CT

Thanks Bob, and the best to you in 25! CT

ooooh, the smell!

Thanks Larry! CT
