  1. Welcome Mark, great group here and very helpful. Enjoy!!
  2. Great job on them all Chang, the black on the old Jag is awesome. I really like the Club sport, I have one on the shelf waiting to be built.?
  3. Thanks again for the views and comments. Crazy enough, there were several more cars that I have owned that would (and will, one in progress and another not yet started) build but no kit is available. I spent waaaay too much money on 1:1's but it sure was fun?
  4. Looks great, the mods sure are interesting!!
  5. Nice Joakim, great looking drag car!!
  6. Cool looking old time Altered drag car, great work Dennis!!

  9. All great looking stuff there Joe. My daughter is a self taught guitarist. ?
  10. Great work Marcos, your paint jobs look amazing. Love them all but wow, the Vette and Camaro really stand out for me.??
  11. Great start for the year Tim, beautiful. Coincidently, Hemmings online did an article just the other day on that same car.
  12. Wait a minute here, you're saying first time detailing like that. Now I'm super impressed!!
  13. Super impressive work Lorne. Just looked at this for the first time as I seldom look at trucks. Beautiful and so realistic.?
  14. Wow, that looks great Marcos, so much detail and super impressive engine.
  15. As you know, I've been following the '57, the others look great too Misha, well done.
  16. Looking great Bill and I love thar diorama?
  17. Two very nice builds David, great looking black finish on that Olds.?
  18. That really is a great looking Torino Vince. ?
  19. Good idea Steve, I actually will have a few more replicas of former cars to complete in the future.
  20. Thanks you to all that have commented. Brings a smile to my face, especially the reponse about the '57. Yep, that of course was a special car to me being my first. It has an interesting history in that it was originally bought by my Dad in Honolulu (he was career Army). He retired there after my graduation from HighSchool, it was shipped back to the Mainland and we drove it from San Francisco to New Orleans. He officially gave it to me then and of course I had to hot rod it. Converted it from Powerglide to 3-speed, had the engine rebuilt with performance stuff and of course street raced it a lot. Man, those were the days. Unfortunately, being a car that spent its early years in salt air atmosphere it succommed to severe rust and I sold it.
  21. I love my '02. WS6 5-speed, no mods and all factory parts with the exception of new tires.
  22. The last GNX built sold by Mecum for $220,000 in 2017, a virtually unused car. NADA says reail high $136,000.
  23. I'm putting these up for viewing. Pretty much OOB builds replicating 1:1 cars my wife and I owned. '57 Bel Air built as I had modified it back in the day. This was my very first car and was given to me by my Dad in 1964. The '68 VW Convertable is like the one that was my Wife first car. The other VW is just a model build of a kit I bought from Hobby Lobby for $10 because the box was torn open. '66 GTO, my Wifes second car. Actually her's was a convertable but since no '66 convertable kit this had to do. Two TransAms, '79 and '02. The '79 we bought new , the wheels are tumbler Torque Thrusts, the only mod I did to it on the real car. The '02 is like the one in my garage right now. '67 Corvette I wish I had owned. It is exactly as I would have wanted it. '40 Willys, just a cool car
  24. Those were crazy fast cars (consider its a V6 tho turbocharged). Its amazing that according to the article no one would bid over "sticker" on that particular car.
  25. Got a few kits for Christmas to go along with my dozen or so unbuilt stash. For Christmas I got the Split Window '63 Vette, Mustang GT350H, Porsche 959 and my wife and daughter also found a '66 SS Chevelle being auctioned on Ebay to go along with the one I already had to do a dual build as I bought it new and the other as I did the mods I did to it. Soooo, what to do next (after finishing the 2 WIP's)?Hmmmmm.
