This is a replica of a 68 Malibu I restored for myself back in the 80's when I was doing autobody for a living. It started life as a 6cyl/2 speed slushbox equipped grocery getter with smashed in front end, I bought it for a total of $100 from another bodyman ( frame specialist) when his wife got on him about having too many cars... Well a 350/4 speed & 12 bolt rear end out of a wrecked PU & a new front clip, new exhaust & a paintjob= $1000 I had myself a sleeper... Here's what she looked like.. Most is from the Revell 68 Chevelle SS, wheels tires & bench seat are parts box, hood is resin...

I need to find one of these, my first car was a 66 Biscayne w/327 , 4speed, 4:11 rear end .All thanks to an uncle that built modifieds...

Paint is Duplicolor GM Dark Blue Metallic with PPG clear. I'm gonna be using these steelies with poverty caps....

This is built OOB from a Blueprinter issue with plug wires & fuel line added.... Paint is Rustoleum Allis Chalmer orange.... Thanks for lookin!!!!

Here she is finished!!!! Thanks for lookin!!!!

Thanks Bobby!!!! Here's the finished "softtail" section of the frame.... The shocks are spring-loaded.... Stay tuned & thanks for lookin!!!!

This is one that I've been searching for for the past year!!!! Here's the painted tanks & fenders... Paint is Testors Ruby Red Met. over Gloss Black with clear.... & the finished 80 Cubic Inch Evolution 2 engine.... Stay tuned & thanks for lookin!!!!

Thanks John!!! I was looking on evilbay earlier, & there were several of the R/G Triumphs, & one Then Came Bronson Sportster, but they were way out of my price range.... Especially for kits that I'm gonna part out.... Oh well I'll keep hoping....

Thanks Brian!!!!

This one's based on the R/M "Aces Wild" Kustom Chopper... Paint is Testors flat black, the control cables are 28 ga. wire, the shift linkage& rear brake line are 30 ga. steel wire, the shifter arm is scrap plastic.... Now, if Revell would only reisue the orginal Triumph Tiger 650, & AMT would reisue the "Then Came Bronson" sportster, I could build a replica of my "First" bike!!! Anyways, thanks for lookin!!!!

Thanks Lee!!!! I built a whole fleet representing the trucks that we had... I built a funhouse tralier for this one, but tht's probably gonna be the only one, they take up ALOT of room.... This one won a Model of the Month contest at another site,I didn't put up a pic of the rig with the trophy, so as not to be in bad taste....
