Haven't been around here too much lately and I see some are posting their 08 builds, so here's what made the jump from my bench into my(and others) display cases last year........

First are my Javelins. I built these in tandem. The brown 73 still needs a couple details, but I'm calling it done till I come across the parts I need. The blue 71 lives with a new owner.

I started on this in the early 90's, finally made some great progress on it in late 07, and into 08, but failed to finish it. I call her the Callaway MX

A couple 69 Nova's built in tandem. The Baldwin Motion car is my first super detailed project beyond basic wiring. The gold one is with a new owner now.

Our club display diorama. We gave it a makeover last year by backdating it from it's previous 1973 gas crunch status to summer 1961.

I agree with Raul, the blue Javelin is sweet, but I like that Big T, too (and I've always been partial to the Callaway MX concept). The closeups of the dio under bright sunlight look quite realistic. Very impressive!

There's something about that "Callaway MX". That kind of car doesn't usually interest me but you design on that one is so good, not just the body shape either but I'm impressed with the use of color to accentuate the body design.

I love nostalgia rods so the T bucket calls right out to me....very well done. I have a soft spot for El Caminos as well so I love the '59 you did for the diorama. All in all a very impressive body of work!
