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 .

SCRWDRVR Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This is an old custom from my youth I just started rehabbing, originally built in the late 70’s and customized in the early 80’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Beyond words! I've never seen chrome valve covers glued to a trunk lid! And that single tail light, classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59 Impala Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This is a car that was a rocket car back in the 80's that almost got thrown out. Instead I decided to try and restore it as a static model. It is a survivor for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I wish this one survived ... it lasted in my Mom's attic until I graduated college and trashed thinking I'd never want it again. For some reason, I still have the trophy ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This is the closest thing I have to a custom. But its pretty close to the oldest kit I have from a long ,,,, LONG time ago. This will stay EXACTLY the way it is till the day I quite breathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 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.
