I finished 8 for 2015

[Sport Suburban]

I figured I would join in and show what I have finished for 2015. I did get 8 done this year and I have not shown these on here before. I have not been real good about showing off my projects lately. Many are restorations that were started a few years ago.

Revell 56 Nomad built right from the box. Very nice kit.

Revell Model King 57 Ford Custom police car. Mostly box stock, my kit had some bad chrome so I stripped the bumpers, sanded off the mold lines and rechromed them.

59 Edsel Corsair convertible. Restored annual kit. This was an unpainted built kit that was easy to restore. No custom parts were glued on it. Just rechromed the chrome and Modelhaus wheels and tires and mirror. It had custom ones on it.

66 Corvette 427 Roadster. This was a custom restoration of a AMT 66 Roadster. Modelhaus hood, side pipes from Revell 427 Corvette, This one took a few years but glad it's done.

68 GT40 Le Mans winner. This was a started Fujimi kit that I got and redid it. Mostly box stock. Just added photo etch hood pins on the rear canopy. Orange stripe is painted and the white round alls are decals meant for planes.

70 Grand Prix Hurst SSJ. This was a mint sealed MPC 70 Grand Prix kit I got. I usually look for rebuilders but this one landed in my lap. I sanded off most of the vinyl top to make the correct sunroof and 1/4 vinyl top for this car. Wheels are Modelhaus Hurst wheels (had to have these)!

72 Firebird Formula 400. MPC rebuilder that was in great shape but had the small Camaro spoiler glued on along with a few other custom parts. Added a correct TA rear spoiler. Optional in 72 and many dealer installed.

73 Challenger Rallye 340. MPC 1973 Challenger Rallye annual kit bashed with the AMT 70 Challenger chassis and AMT 71 Duster 340 with A/C parts. This one was an on and off again project.

Thanks for checking them out and any comments welcome!

Your Hurst Grand Prix is superb!   

I agree!  I love Pontiacs.  I would love to have a 73 Lemans in my collection.  I had a 73 Luxury Lemans back in the "old days."

Great job on all of the cars. Really like the police cruiser and the Grand Prix it reminds me of one my dad had when I was a kid. How'd you re-chrome the bumpers on the cruiser? 

[crazyrichard]

I send my chrome work out to Chrome Tech USA. I do so many restorations that need chrome redone that I usually send out two racks loaded with parts to be chromed at a time. In this batch of finished builds only the Nomad and GT40 have not seen any rechrome work. The Nomad almost got it's front bumper redone. The GT40 didn't have any chrome anyways.
