Very creative builds.

Very nice collection.

I am sorry for your loss. I have an AWESOME wife of 31 years and still going strong. I cannot imagine life without her. Beautiful builds you have for the year.

Thank you Mike.?

Thank you Carl. ?

I really like the look with the redlines and the steelies.

That Bee is turning out nice!

I like what you have done. Following.

Let me be the 1st to congratulate you on an excellent build.

Thank you Bob. ? Thank you Rob. ? Thank you Gareth. ?

Quite a variety of high quality builds.

I have NEVER seen an ad on this forum the 2 years I have been here. It may be because my son installed a popup blocker on my PC. It works fantastic apparently. I just looked and it has saved me from 491,272 popup ads since it was installed.

Very sweet customs. The Silver Charger is off the hook!

The copper Supra is gorgeous.

The C-pillar modification is seamless. BTW since the is no B-pillar this would actually be considered a 4 door hardtop and not a sedan. Well done!

Steve, Regarding the Javelin, this is kind of a custom Frankenstein build. Back in the 80's when I first got back into building briefly. I got this kit through a mail a mail order catalog. I started to build it stock but thought that was lame. I also had a 1988 reissue of a MPC flip nose 57 Chevy that was a drag race car version. The Chevy paint job came out like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH and this was before I learned you could strip bad paint jobs. Sooo... I ended up swapping out the chassis between the two cars. Since I did not like the AMX rounded square tail lights, I modified them to look like 68 Firebird tail lights. Looking at the front I always thought it would look cooler with a 69 Rally Sport Camaro hidden headlight treatment but I never got around to it. The build quality is pretty sad by today's standards but I like the subject matter.

RRP, I do not mind the resurrection. Regarding the lowering, long ago I decided that stance is a VERY important element of a completed build. Also I nearly always change up the wheel tire combo, as I like the "Day Two" look. So, since wheel (in/out) offset is rarely correct anyway, I often need to modify the wheels or the mounting points. The really good builders on here will go to all the effort to modify the suspension and get the axles and/or hubs into the correct position. I take a lazier approach. I make the mating points with enough surface area to simply glue them in place with as much up, down, left, right offset as I need. Installing the wheels is usually the very last thing I do on my car builds. I then glue only one wheel at a time per day so it takes 4 days to install them. I use Testor red tube glue as it has a pretty strong bond once it cures. None of my cars roll as a result, but then again, they are not play toys anyway.

Love the detailed wheels. Following.

I saw that while perusing the site. It looks very interesting. I am glad to hear there is not much clean up on the parts. I just bought 13 Item from him/them.

Tom, Yes it is a restored 70 Grand Prix that WAS brush painted blue. Steve, It is an old build of a Javelin/AMX. It has a story if you are interested.

That color looks like a good candidate for Orbit Orange used on 70 GTOs.

Here is one of the items I ordered.

Thanks piquing my interest in 3D printed items. I eventually ended up at Shapeways and dropped $127 on intakes, blowers and wheels. One of my pop up shopping helpers even got me $20 off my order. ?

Following.

Well done. I like the Firebird and the GTX the best.
