I got this from John Goschke a few years ago. An amazing model even by today's standards. It was supposedly in a magazine, or on the cover, but I don't know which one. It's the centerpiece in my collection.

Pretty sure that was on the cover of Model Car Science back in the 60's ,  I'll dig around and post it if I find it . :)

How are defining youth? before 20? If so, I'll give it a go.

This is my oldest surviving custom. Not as cool nor as old as some of the ones already posted, but it is a custom built trike.

This one survived - almost. When I was finishing it up the body got chewed by our puppy, so the chassis and engine went in another project. I have the parts to take another run at it someday. The dog lived a long life, but is in chew toy heaven now.

Here is the chassis and engine - now with nitrous and injectors on a project completed about 4 years later.
