A few more from 2019 A&W summer cruise in Halifax, Nova Scotia...

Some photos of my 1960 Corvette which I've owned since 1983. Photos taken in 2019 in my backyard.

Photos from June 18, 2019 at Woodside Ferry parking lot, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Outstanding model. Is this a resin body?

Cool year and model to build, often overlooked by the 1968 and 1969 Charger. What engine does it have?

Outstanding photos. The point of view makes them seem so real life.

Looks darn nice. I was curious about using Krylon paints as during the current economic crisis Testers and Tamiya are hard to get at Michaels in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I am attempting to return to the car modeling hobby. The last car model I built was probably 25 years ago. I am in my late 60s and now retired for 4 years after working for 35 years as a computer programmer and system administrator (Windows server, Novell Netware & Suse Linux) servers. Since a lad my passion has always been cars, especially American muscle cars, traditional hot rods and cars of the 1930s to early 1970s. One Christmas day in the early 1960s I got a Monogram Black Widow model kit and AMT model of the XR6 hot rod which also included a Model T Ford. I would soon have our kitchen tabled littered with car model parts to Mom's chagrin as she tried to chase me away so she could set the supper table. I continued to build model cars into my early 20s as I attended university but lived at home. My second passion has always been hockey, being a fan of the St Louis Blues since 1968. I played hockey through out my youth and into my adulthood. I stopped playing recreational hockey at age 52. in 1983 I purchased a 1960 Corvette that was a used as a drag racer. With the assistance of my Dad, a talented backyard mechanic and my kid brother, who was employed as a mechanic until he retired a couple of years ago restored the Corvette back to some of it's glory. The Corvette is not original. When I purchased it the 283 was gone and replaced with a small journal 327, Muncie M21 4 speed tranny and a 12 bolt GM rearend with 4:11 gears. I replaced the generator with a GM Delco alternator, swapped out the stock intake and Carter AFB carb with Edlebrook carb and intake. Replaced the old Chevy distributor, points and condensor with a MSG HEI electronic distributor. The single line master cylinder was upgraded to a dual master cylinder. Front drum brakes upgraded to disc via ECI conversion kit purchased from the Old Car Centre in Langley, BC. I still own the Corvette and take it out for a summer cruise every weekend depending on weather and domestic commitments as I am now my 91 year old Dad's primary care giver. Love the car. It's a delight to drive around town. But would not take it on a run to Bangor, Maine. Car now runs BFG TAs and American Torque Thrusts. My other hobbies are digital photography (automotive and landscape/scenery). I also do digital illustrations and some 3D modeling / rendering. Look forward to learning from the existing members here. Cheers from Nova Scotia Kenmo

What a beauty....

Cool cars, any of them belong to Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl? LOL... Ouch converting that Dodge Challenger into a 4x4 is gonna upset some of the Mopar boys... ?

Impressive work. Always loved MG and when I was young in the 1970s I wanted to purchase a MGB, TR-6, Maxda RX7 or a Datusn 240Z. I ended up buying a 1974 Toyota Celica which I loved. The Celica ended up being my winter car when I purchased a brand new 1980 Mustang Turbo-4 Cobra. In a few years I sold the Cobra when I purchased a 1960 Corvette in 1983. The Celica became my daily driver and winter driver as I restored the 1960 Corvette. I later sold the Celica and purchased a Toyota Landcruiser. The 1960 Corvette is still with me and parked in my garage waiting to be taken for a summer cruise. I look forward to the progress of you MG Midget which is a task beyond my skillset as I am re-entering into the hobby at 68 years of age and now retired from a 35 year career in the computer industry as a sys admin. I'm too old to still play tennis and hockey so my new hobby will be building scale model cars and digital art/photography. Nice thread and article.

"Racing in the Salt Flats" I painted this image completely digitally using a Wacom tablet and Art Rage. Art Rage and Rebelle are digital painting apps which attempt to recreate the traditional painting method. Everything was created the same way one would using pen and paper, except my pen (Wacon tablet), media (Art Rage) and canvas (my home built computer) were digital.

"54 Looks Good in Patina" I created this image a few weeks ago for the weekly Friday art show on HAMB forum. I created this image digitally using my home built computer, Photoshop, Topaz Studio 2 & Rebelle 4. A photography of my 1/24 scale diecast was used as reference source.
