Nice rat! well done, not too rusty, just right! What engine is that? Sam

Great 50's wagon! The colors are right for the period. Nice work! Sam

Here's one I did back about 1970. It's a model of my first real car that I owned then. I cut the top off the coupe model with a hot knife cutter, which was basically a soldering iron with an X-acto blade welded onto the tip. Today I would use my Dremel cutoff wheel - CAREFULLY! Make the cut at the windshield frame first, then the C pillars. Be very careful sanding and smoothing the windshield frame - it's delicate! I rebuilt my model in 2010, and added a Modelhaus resin uptop.

Very nice! Great colors and wheels. Good work! Sam

Very good build! Sounds like it was a lot of work to make things fit and look right, but you did it well! Great color scheme! Sam

I agree with Blair, this truck has character - lots of it! Great finish and weathering. Nice work! Sam

Very nice, clean build. Looks good in silver. Sam

Great looking classic hot rod! The color is just right, and the pinstriping adds a nice touch. Well done! Sam

Whoa! That's nice! Great conversion, and finish! Nice work! Sam

Cool Stude! Good colors, and I like the flames. Nice build! Sam

Looks good to me! Black is nice and I like the skirts. I'm glad you finished it. Nice work! Sam

Hey guys, I found this Dodge on eBay for about $5 a couple years ago. It was missing its interior and bumpers, but came with a dashboard from who knows what in the box. I decided to make a custom truck out of it. I used the dash and some parts box seats, console, steering wheel, and shifter to make a sort of interior. I lowered it by drilling holes for the metal axles about 1/4" higher than stock. The bed cover is Evergreen grooved sheet styrene intended for siding on model railroad buildings. I made a rear roll pan from one in my parts box. Paint is orange Valspar Allis-Chalmer tractor paint. BMF on the trim strip. Quick and dirty, not detailed, but a fun build! It needs a set of mirrors. Gotta check the parts boxes! Thanks for looking! Sam

Nice! Good color, and the red line tires look great! Sam

I think I would paint the pink areas white. Sam

Amazing work, Harry! You have more patience than I do to carve all those spokes. I bet that front buckboard protected the driver from the horse's "exhaust" too! Sam

Holy cow that's nice!! Just about perfect! The 69's are my favorite Mustangs. The details on yours are great! Sam

Very cool model! The third photo make me think "Pinewood Derby." Good work! Sam

Clean, classic Deuce hot rod - love it! It looks real with that diorama as a background. Sam

Very nice! In that color with the blower sticking through the hood, it looks kind of innocent and sinister at the same time. Great work! Sam

Great Goat! The foil work is excellent. First time? You're kidding! The dusty looking engine bay is a great touch. Looks like you opened the hood on a real one that has been driven a few years. Nice work! Sam

Amazing build! Your kitbashing/scratchbuilding skills are second to none! Great work, John!

Very nice! It's good to see the old annual kits being saved. This one is special to me. The first AMT 3 in 1 customizing kit I built was a 58 Imperial convertible like this one. That was in 1958 when I was nine years old. I built it all myself, no paint. It got me started in model building. Sam

That is really cool! Great idea! I've made car show dioramas, but I never thought of a swap meet. Well done! Sam

Wow! You laced those spokes by hand? You're crazy, man! In a good way, I mean! Incredible build! Sam

Awesome work! The weeds in the engine bay are a great detail. Very nice! Sam
