  1. They both are beautiful builds. I remember watching your build on the '55 Bel Air, it is just perfect.
  2. Didn't even know it existed but there are a great number of possibilities with this. What do you plan for the rebuild ?
  3. Perfect '50s look.
  4. These are fantastic builds. I followed them both during construction and they are both unbelievable.
  5. Beautiful builds. Hard to pick favorites, but the early Plymouth and the Super Bee are the most appealing to me.

    My 2016

    Very productive year with some very nice builds. I agree, the '49 Ford has always been a great model, and 1:1 also.
  7. Looks like an interesting project. Unless you are 100% sold on the front wheels/tires, they look a little disproportionately large compared to the rear tires.
  8. This will be interesting. Are using the I beam axle in the photo to make a gasser ?
  9. Nasty dirty old work truck. Looks perfect.
  10. That turned out perfect. I have had one of these in the stash for years and every time I look at it I give up.
  11. They are all beautiful builds. Hope you and yours a great 2017 also.
  12. Great looking builds for the year. They are each special in their own way.
  13. Great looking build.
  14. Beautiful build, I like how you have setting on the green. Was that body hard to work with? I have thought of using one of their bodies for a build.
  15. Turned out beautiful, very accurate looking.
  16. Great looking build. I like the color, perfect for the era.
  17. I like the color a lot. Unusual to have candy red over a green base. Usually you see candy red over silver or gold base. Nice build.
  18. Great looking build. Is the seat pattern a decal or molded to the seat ? Very detailed looking steering linkage.
  19. Beautiful Cobras, look forward to the Monza build.

    my 2016 builds

    Beautiful builds and you have a wide building interest. The El Camino is special to since I have owned a couple 1:1's. The colors on the '32 and the Plymouth really wake you up when you first see them. The '64 Impala reminds me of a car one of my friends drove from back in the day. The big rigs are very impressive looking to say the least. Very productive year.
  21. Beautiful build. To bad the pictures can't show what you did on the interior. I'm using your idea on the seats on my next woody build.

    1969 Talladega

    Very nice paint and fit & finish on the front end. Always thought that Ford had a great looking body style with this model anyway
  23. Well built. Were the flared fenders from this kit ?
  24. Especially nice looking Chevelle. Great color.
  25. Retired early, I was 62, in 2005. My wife is younger than I and was a partner in her company and we thought we were in good shape with 401k's and money in the bank and the home almost paid for. Then "The great recession" changed a lot of that. Not crying the blues but things are not as planned now. I get to spend more time with my models, something that I hardly ever got to do much of when I was working. It is almost a full time job with the house upkeep both inside and the yard. I also take care of the mother-in-laws yard and home repairs. I think we will look for a smaller home a little further out of town next year so my wife can retire and we can live comfortably.
