Excellent work on my favorite car of all time! Stunning!!! Up until this moment I've been dreaming of building an iconic 1:1 in Guardsman Blue with White Le Mans stripes, but now reconsidering. However, reality is I still would need one more spot in my garage and one fewer wife!

Thank you. My pal runs period correct, but slightly larger than stock rubber, which are also included. Fun stuff!

After visiting an old pal, I gave him a replica of his 1971 Plymouth Duster as a "thank you" for his (and his better half's) hospitality. He bought the car through the govt. procurement program while serving in the Navy during Vietnam. After retirement he brought the car back up to snuff (including with a few non-factory, but all approved options). Today he drives the prized Duster to car shows all around the mid-west. This was my first attempt at opening doors (with proper "inside the fender" hinges) and trunk. The govt. issued dog tag is there as delivered, on the inside left fender next to the battery.

69 1/2 (?) Camaro concept - Pro-Touring experiment
Lobo2me replied to Claude Thibodeau's topic in Model Cars
Not always easy to turn those crazy ideas rolling around in one's wild imaginations into reality....your 69 1/2 (?) Camaro is - very cool, magnificent and the execution is perfect!!! Now you've pushed me to post my '63 /'67 Stingray Restomod. Not as technically precise or as good as your work, but it challenged me and made me a better modeler....and I am still learning. The creativity, freedom and fun I get out of this modeling passion is what keeps me going! Thanks for sharing... -

Chopped the roof of a left-over Fiat Toppling approx. 4 scale inches, stretched the hood 6", reshaped wheel openings, scratch built the chassis, roll cage and coil over shocks, added a couple of wings and called it Plum Crazy

Viper motor, chassis, power train & suspensions. XKE hood bulge, Speedster bumps, Batmobile windsheild and reshaped tail. Giant wing for serious drifting. Name - what a viper and jaguar have in common. Fun creation, but not wild about the wheels...at the moment.

Wow...beautiful. A worthy tribute to your pal.

As a follow-on to the "honor our veterans" theme I created a wild scratch-built Altered dragster named 12 O’clock High. I had a great time inventing unique items and including some nostalgic features - like the vintage looking WWII aircraft nose art, olive drab paint job with kills and bomb raid decals, a polished aluminum wing section with exposed rivets, replica 500 lb. bomb fuel tank and D-Day stripes. Thanks for looking... Donor Kits & Parts 62 Corvette – AMT 1:25 scale Body truncated at the firewall, narrowed approx. 10” scale inches at the tail end and pinched 14” just forward of the cockpit. To keep as much of iconic side scallops as possible - moved them back 12” (scale) to just forward of the modified rear wheel openings.
