gseeds Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 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! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug 1061 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 BITCHIN' DUDE!!! Some cool rides there. Always fun to build a car or truck you or one of your friends or relatives owned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 They're excellent! Look forward to seeing more of them. Both 1:1s had a very clean look by the standards of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Very nice replicas of your cars. Well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Nice looking Chevys, Gary, both the models and the 1:1. I quite like the colours on the '57' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
