nice 

I like it when our models still look good after all the passing years. Nice job

[Old Coyote]

I was there the year you brought the English Ford.  I remember some of the guys were talking about a really cool hot rod in the parking lot so I went out to have a look.  When I saw it I recognized it from some build pictures on another forum website.  That is one slick ride.

Yep, he's nearly six years old and is still a kick to drive 

[MarkJ]

Wow, John. I did not know you could build 1:1 models too. That's a real beauty. Very impressive.

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Wow,  that held up well. 

[slusher]

A real fine build John!!!

[KENNEDYJR]

Looks great! That car is a year older than me and looks a hell of a sight better.

Well done, cool rod and that Camero is really nice looks like it was just done

[Jimfromok]

Thats the car he made Dave Strickler cut the chin spoiler off of

Awesome build

[Dave42]

Awesome.

[El Caballo]

That model is so badass.

[donb]

Like all the others said.  Exceptional build even that long ago. A great model is a great model and stands the test of time. A Great model indeed!

[TooOld]

Super nice John !         I built that way back when and loved the kit , yours looks like it was built yesterday !

[geetee66]

Man, that's looking fresh as a daisy!

44 years old?!? Wow!

[Tom Louis]

Great looking build,   I wish  I had all my old model kits that I had as a kid.

[Hammerdown]

Hey John your old build looks dead on!    Crazy... here's my 44 year old build, 1971 Camaro. Not box stock.

That Camaro has held up well! Very nice on a classic drag car. Love your blue Paint on your ford too! Nice car

Well sir, that 44 year old model is a beauty for sure.  Great thought and care too concerning the storage, obviously very important.

I've seen here a couple of your 'back in the day' real drag cars references, and know as well you owned and piloted some great machines. 

Hence, I'm wondering if you'd perhaps, some time maybe, show us a collection of your owned special street cars throughout the years.  That beautiful blue Anglia in the driveway is a dream.  Makes me think sir, you've over the years owned several interesting rides.

Maybe?

Great modeling, as always seen from your side.

Good morning Michael ,

I do have some pictures of my past cars, and I would be proud to post them in the 1:1 section. However, they are not nearly as exotic as the Thames.

You did a great job. Wish I had seen him drive it back then. 

[Dragline]

OUTSTANDING survivor. This is a kit that sorely needs to be reissued.

[El Caballo]

The Grump Lump is so appropriate for that car.
