Thought I would try to turn back the hands of time on this Revell '32 kit and make it a highboy with a flathead.  Robbed parts from the AMT '34 Ford 5-window Coupe, and the parts box.

Revell 1/16 scale Volkswagen T1 Samba bus, I like the stock rims but think some low profile tires and low stance will look mo better!

Very nice.  No need to modify the “coupe” interior as the back seat is a carry over from the convertible molds.

Trying to save a glue bomb Mercury that was terribly chopped. Lots of work behind and now I finally reached the point to make a first mock up, although hubcaps and tires most probably will be changed.

That looks good so far.

Is this the Revell version? If so, I'm curious about the hood.

There was a warp in the hood on the one I built and I was unable to get it to fit properly. It looks like the one in your photo may have the same issue.

Revell's Peterbilt 359, my first road tractor!

Test fitting the cab and hood so they can get used to their future homes.

This is a simple, fun kit. I stretched and lowered mine.

Is that an Australian Charger?

Nah, 72 Nissan Skyline

Given the "Skyline" script on the rear quarter, I'm thinking it's a Nissan? But I could be wrong...

Correct with your observation Mathias.

Ah yep, can see where you were seeing some similarities between the Skyline and Charger

Id say some time in the future DDA Collectibles will release plastic kit of the Aussie Valiant Charger.
