   That Vega wagon is super-duper cool!

Was that a kit at one time? Or is it a resin

version of some kit?

  I like Vegas, they are like little poor man

Camaros!

That is some seriously cool period funny car work there, Bob.  

Did you ever enter any of these in the old MPC Model Car Customizing Contests at the Hot Rod shows back then?  They would have been very competitive entries, I am sure.

Thanks for sharing your pics....TIM

Hey guys thanks for looking and enjoying these old nitro burners. Dave the Vega was produced by combining 2 AMT Vega wagon bodies and the chassis is a reversed MPC front engine chassis. Simply cut the front rails off and glued them behind the drivers cage, it also had real bolt on mags using jewellers screws. I did enter them in contests back in the day and they did win. The Camaro won best of show a number of times.

These are more of the super detailed Russ Davis car.

Dang, those are nice. Were either of them in any mags? They ( or your building style ) sure look familiar. 

[Hammerdown]

No they've never been featured before but thanks for the remarks.
