Nice 32! The colors look good, and the red wires are a nice touch! Sam

What a crappy truck - just like it's supposed to be! Great work on this model! The weathering and "dust" is just about perfect. That rack must h ave taken a while to build, too. Nice job! Sam

Nice, clean 48! Are those taillights in the bumper guards? Be careful backing up! LOL Great model! Sam

Ray, I'm one of those old guys (62) who built model cars in the 1960's. I returned to the hobby a few years ago, and have learned a ton of good things from this forum. I've used aftermarket parts (photoetched grilles, resin bodies, wired distributors, etc.) that we didn't have back then. I remember using thread for plug wires. My mom had a spool of black carpet thread which worked well. It was thicker than normal thread, and not fuzzy - had some kind of coating on it. the kits are better now, too. Better molding, more detail. I'm enjoying it, and you will too! Sam

Very well done cars and diorama. I like the engine sitting in the shed with posters on the wall and door - nice touch! Sam

Beauties, all! I like the weathered camper on the 34 Ford. Sam

Very nice! Great finish, love the black and red. My former father in law had one like that years ago, but with a black roof. It was sharp! He kept it garaged and spotless. When he put it up for sale, it went in one day! Sam

Great model! The color and whitewalls look just right. When I was a teenager (1960's) a neighbor had a Dauphine. We thought it was weird! Sam

Holy cow, that's a beast! Great concept, well done. Looks mean! Would those Mack tires be solid rubber in their day? The ride would shake your teeth out, but be a blast! Sam

Very cool! It's hard to beat a 32 Ford! I can picture that 32 at a drag strip on a Friday night with flames shooting out those pipes when it jumps off the line! Yeah! Sam

Those flames look great! I have a 49 Merc that could use one of those masks. Great colors, too! Sam

The Cobra is really good. The rear fender curves are just right. Amazing for a blind man! Great talent!

Perfect classic pickup rod! Great finish and detail work! Sam

Great concept, and really well done! Looks elegant! Sam

Here's a 32 ford Phaeton I just built. It was a pretty simple build. I lowered the suspension a couple scale inches, and used the custom wheels and tires from the AMT 41 Chevy pickup kit. I wired the engine and made a paper Coleman cooler and a craft wire rack for it in the rear. Finish is Krylon Pumpkin Orange. Oops, forgot the license plate. I'll out it on later. This was an enjoyable build. I hope you guys like it! Sam

Love the Deuces! Both beautifully done! Both great color choices, but I like the yellow best! Sam

Maynard, I've used that luan plywood for sidewalks and the floor of my garage diorama. It looks like concrete with some fairly thick latex paint (gray or white) on it. I also used it on a wall with brick paper glued on it. Nice stuff, and cheap! Sam

Very nice! I like the colors and the engine detail. I like the older Vettes with the white side panel and whitewall tires. Nice work! Sam

That's beautiful! Great work! The colors really look good! Sam

Great blend of PT and VW! Great color! Call it the P-Teetle, maybe? Sam

Very nice work! The last photo is great - looks so real! I like the black and red colors. Sam

I would swear that was a real bike in those photos! Great job on this Honda! Sam

I use a heat gun......carefully! The metal lids expand and come off easily. Apply heat for only about 3 or 4 seconds. Sam

Oh, yeah! That's cool! Great color, nice engine detail, clean! Sam

It's a beauty! Great color and perfectly done! Very clean build! Sam
