Too many to list them all, but I have a few that come to mine at the moment: Bob, proprietor of House Of Hobbies(AKA "House Of Horrors") in Clearwater, FL. The creations displayed in his shop window planted the seed many years ago. Terry Jessee and George Bojaciuk get me interested in the craft again with the builds shown in their SAE articles - "Requiem For A Hemiweight" and "Cowboy Cadillac" hooked me DEEP. The models of Don Emmons hold a special place in my heart, especially his Parnelli Jones Mercury - STILL a knockout in my eyes. I would be remiss if I omitted Mr. Obsessive Himself, Bill Geary, for his beautiful and ingenious creations that always amaze me and occasionally give me migraines trying to emulate!!
