Here are the models that I was able to finish last year. It was actually a very good year for me as I was able to finish two models instead of finishing only one several years a row now. I started out strong as I finished this '64 Thunderbolt pretty early in 2018...

As usual, the summer was spent Drag Racing with our '74 Malibu in Stock Eliminator and building my 1:1 Chevy II Gasser project. But then I recently finished this El Camino for TRaK Autorama contest (Finished on December 31st :D ).

Thanks for looking and hopefully this year would be also succesful as far as finishing something goes...:P

As mentioned before, this El Camino is outstanding. I like the Thunderbolt, I was at the Winter Nationals in Pamona Ca. and watched these cars when they were first released. They were super fast and fun to watch weather going thru the gears or using the automatic transmissions.

Nice builds. I really like both of these vehicles. I built a 59 El Camino when I was a kid, but it didn't look as good as yours. I think it had a Cadillac engine if I recall correctly.

Two beautiful models!

I specially noticed the side trim on the El Camino - nice touch to match the cove colour to the rest of the body and the BMF is perfect.

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone!

Peter, I sure wish the BMF was perfect on the El Camino. It's not bad but there are some small spots that I'm not completely happy with. I was thinking what should I do with the area between the side moldings. If that area was painted white, it would have been more forgiving as far as BMF goes, but I prefer how it looks in body color on a Custom like that.

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks Darryl, Donald and Cliff...I appreciate the kind words!

Now back to the bench to be able to finish something this year, as well :P.
