A couple cars I’ve once owned in the 1970’s

[gseeds]

Over the years I’ve been very lucky to have owned some pretty cool cars, and when I first started building models I had planned to build a model of a few of my favorites , at least the ones that I still had a picture of, well that was 1993 and I’m just now starting to build some of my favorite cars I’ve owned over the years, Here’s a couple cars I once owned as a teenager , in 1977 at 17 years old I had a 1956 Chevy with a 6 cylinder and 2 speed automatic transmission  and in 1979 at age 19 a  1957 Chevy with a 327 and Muncie 4 speed, both super fun cars , I’ve owned a lot of cars in my life so I’m planning on building more of these and will post them as I get em done, thanks for looking!

BITCHIN' DUDE!!!  Some cool rides there.  Always fun to build a car or truck you or one of your friends or relatives owned.

They're excellent! Look forward to seeing more of them.

Both 1:1s had a very clean look by the standards of the time.

NICE !! 1956 is my fave year of the 'Tri-Fives'; your example -- 1:1 and 1/25-- is splendid. 

That '57 has a nice, sedate-yet-lively colour combo. Another outstanding replica!

Very nice replicas of your cars.  Well done.

[Bainford]

Nice looking Chevys, Gary, both the models and the 1:1. I quite like the colours on the '57'

Great looking pair of Tri Fives and I remember the long rear shackles as well. Like you I have built a few of the past rides and enjoy the memories that come back to you. Note my avatar of the '67 El Camino from that time. 396/4-speed postreaction. With no weight over the rear-end I bought a lot of rear tires.

Outstanding replicas . Both are awesome. Even in the seventies these were cool . I like both of them.

Nice builds and good idea to make these as replicas of the real cars?

[cobraman]

Cool cars and very sharp model.

[Hoffman]

Very nice, Gary! Looks like you grew up in So-Cal. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next one. ?

All nice, but the '56 is SHARP! Don't Cragars look perfect on a'57?! Well done.

Very well done, as usual, looking forward to seeing more.

Nice work on the replicas.

Hi Gary!

Great reproductions, and of course, world class paint. Bravo!

Nice work on both. I really like the red '56. I'd love to build a model of some of the cars I've owned but no such models exist.

[Mattilacken]

Beautiful builds and beautiful cars!

[MeatMan]

Very nicely done! Awesome work.

[Toys4Don2]
