I was really inspired by the Garage 56 project and have loved to see and hear it on the Mulsanne Straight. Hi Danno - I am going to have to get together with Misha before he heads south and I may have to change my travel plans to be in Phoenix on April 13. Thanks everyone I really appreciate your comments. I am very pleased how popular the Willys is. Maybe it is the festive colour !!?? All the best for 2024

Love your year book. Excellent models of some of my favourite cars.

Thanks Steve. The Willys turned out better than I expected as I had an already painted body and wanted a quick build back last January. The next Deuce Days in Victoria is July 2025. Been taking a Deuce break since the last event the summer of 2022. I have 5 Deuces on my build list starting work in July 2024 so there will be some on my annual compilation post this time next year. Thanks Garry. Glad you like the Willys.

Great builds of interesting subjects.

Very diverse but all exceedingly well done.

This is one of my favourite times of year for many reasons but I always look forward to and enjoy seeing everyone's annual builds. I am going to make an effort to look at them all as there will be many great models I missed seeing over the last 12 months. Here are the 8 I completed in 2023. Best regards for 2024.

All very nice. Great stance on the T-Bird and Mach 1.

All super nice but I sure love the two '32's

Four very nice builds this year. I really like the slammed Delivery.

Thanks Ismael. Always good to hear from you.

Incredible collection of far-out creations

A strikingly good looking collection of models. Well done.

Thanks very much - your comments are much appreciated. All the best to you all.

WOW - this turned out amazing. Excellent concept and build. If full scale it would be a SEMA stand out.

Good looking Street Rod. Those Monogram kits provide a great starting point for Deuce Roadster build.

I love these annual review posts. You built some great looking models this year. I especially like your Wagon Rod and the changes you made. Gorgeous wheels.

You had a great year at your bench. My favourite is the Eldorado.

Seasons Greetings Claude. Great to see all your builds in one place. There are a few I missed first time around for example the jet boat which I really like. I will be looking forward to everyone else's annual compilations posts.

Very impressive build of a car and model you do not see very often. JoHan sure made some great kits.

Thanks Jeff

This Toyota Corolla GTS [AE86] was built to resemble the car that was assigned to me at a driver training race school many years ago. The model is largely based on the full detail Aoshima Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 supplemented with parts from the Fujimi Trampio Levin Group-A race car. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS BODY- Modified to more closely resemble the North American version especially in front with the bumper area lowered about 3mm and turn signals relocated. The orientation of the wipers was reversed INTERIOR – Converted to left-hand steering. Rear seating area and self replaced with stripped out assembly from the Fujimi kit which also supplied the steering wheel, passenger seat and roll bar to which extra braces were added. A parts box racing seat was installed with a 5-point harness. ROLLING CHASSIS – The suspension was lowered with wheels from the Fujimi kit. The exhaust from the catalytic converter back was removed and replaced with a side exit pipe. ENGINE COMPARTMENT – A cone filter replaces the stock intake and some components such as the master cylinder were swapped side to side for left hand drive. A shock tower brace was added while the battery was relocated to the trunk area.

I am really enjoying this thread. Many great looking six bangers. Here are 4 of my 6 cylinder engines. Weber carbed in a sectioned Wagon-Rod Kit engine in sectioned 41 Chev truck Two Chev 6-cylinder engines joined to make a '37 Cadillac V-12 for an early custom replica

Very impressive project

Thanks guys. These A86 Toyotas have become very popular world wide. I have spotted a couple being modified near by.

Far out. I am a big fan of Canadian specific cars. As a kid my family had a 1953 Canadian Pontiac. While on a summer holiday in New England USA the car needed a new muffler. At the repair shop when the car was put up on the hoist the mechanic said "This ain't no Pontiac, its a Chevrolet !!"
