The Godfather Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm a long time car modeler who just came back to the hobby about one year ago, after a 16 year absence. I really like to restore old built ups, but I build some of the newer stuff too. My main interest is muscle cars and I also like the "oddball" stuff like for example A 1978 Monaco. Here are some pictures of my most recent builds:
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Welcome Anthony! You & I are going to get along great! I've been doing little else except restore old annual kits for the past 3-4 years & loving every second of it. While our genres may differ a little, (I'm heavily into full sized cars from the late 50s through the 60s) I'll be keeping an eye on you! I especially like your Grand Prix! I own a 1:1 '69 Grand Prix that's currently being restored. I have the kit to build.......Some day. Steve Edited October 22, 2015 by StevenGuthmiller

JTalmage Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Welcome! You build some nice looking vehicles!
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Hey Steve, Did you say 69 Grand Prix? I have one of those too, in kit form, that is! lol That's the one! I bought my '69 Grand Prix Model J right out of high school, drove it for about 6 or 7 years & then after I got married & the first kid was on the way, I had no more money to keep it up. I did talk the wife into putting it into storage rather than selling it. It has sentimental value for her as well. We dated in that car & even used it for our "get away" car at our wedding. Well, 28 years later, after sitting in a shed & getting picked over by thieves a couple of times, it's finally home & hopefully on the mend. The engine & tranny are rebuilt & being installed as we speak. Still a long road ahead, but we have time. Here's a pic of what we found while it was still in the shed, & after we got it home. Steve
The Godfather Posted October 23, 2015 Author Posted October 23, 2015 Wow Steve, The color looks close! You should add the vinyl roof so it matches my model!! lol
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Wow Steve, The color looks close! You should add the vinyl roof so it matches my model!! lol I actually started my kit a while back. First step was to remove the vinyl top! My 1:1 is painted "Crystal Turquoise" with a pearl white & black interior. Steve
