Spectacular build Claude!

Gorgeous build Carl, especially that paint job and finish!

Absolute beauty Dave!

Yours is ten times better than the box art! Great color choices

Great heirloom car!

I saw this car at SEMA a couple of years ago, and it looked almost as good as yours! Beautiful job

That is one lean mean black machine! I love the stance and brightwork. Well done!

Phenomenal build Rich, totally realistic looking. And those doors are works of art on their own! Well done

Wow, such a labor of love! It came out phenomenal, thank you for sharing.

Totally beautiful build!

Phenomenal build! And that paintjob is out of this world!

Total stunner, especially the paint job!

I commend both your talent and your tenacity! Just gorgeous build!

Totally awesome!

Super cool! And this artwork even looks a lot like my build, except for the large wing of course.

Thank you much Tim. Now I just have to look up what "fuel altered" is! (I'm still learning about the classic hot rod era)

Your work always inspires me Claude!

Our friend @Claude Thibodeau recently posted a Deuce he put together from miscellaneous parts, and it inspired me to try my hand at something similar. To begin with, I pulled out my favorite AMT parts pack and fished out their beautiful hot rod frame assembly. It went together great, and begged to be left in all its blingy chrome glory. Next up was the Chrysler hemi and rolling stock from a partial AMT kit I had laying around of the Corvair Chezoom funny car. These parts could also have come from their Barracuda "Hemi-Under-Glass" which shares the same underpinnings. The parts dropped in with very little alterations and looked totally in place. Adding spark plug wires really added to the realism of this awesome looking engine. Finally, the body came from an AMT Custom and Competition parts pack. The trickiest part here was creating floorboards and a tunnel from scratch, along with shortening the trunk. Since this dragster was to be named "Snake", I chose a color palette from a copperhead. When completed, this model looked like it was always made to go together with these parts.

Incredible collection! Thank you for sharing, although now I have to go out looking for a couple of more models I didn't know existed

Nice color choices. Has a sort of European GT flair. Thank you for sharing.

Super color on s kool car!

Larry, that is one sweeet ride! All your build photos looked great, especially the ones with the body and rolling stock in place. Just WOW!

So many beauties to choose from! For me though, the J cars stand out, and the Cobra Type 65 just beckons What is that model by the way? I'd love to know the manufacturer, scale, etc.

Just beautiful Bob. The color choices, rolling gear, and stance are all superb choices!

What an awesome resto-mod look on a car I never heard of before! Thank you for posting Michelle.
