Thats super cool Dan....gotta ask, do you still have the 1:1?

[59 Impala]

Nope, sure don't.  I had this before I went into the Army back in 1966.

Only 2 of the cars I've owned exist in kit form, and they are two of my trio of mid-life-crisis sports cars. (The third being a last generation Honda Prelude).

Two photos of each, the latter of each is photographed on top of the car itself.

Mazda RX-8:

 

Nissan 350Z.

My third car that I owned was a 1970 Plymouth Duster 340.  Manual everything with exhaust headers.  Was a well-used money pit as I had replaced the clutch, starter, tires, regulators, trued the wheels, and repaired the taillights so they wouldn't leak.  This car was a love-hate affair.  I loved to hate it!

My 1959 Impala sport coupe.  348, 3 speed on the tree.  I converted the Revell 59 from an automatic, power steering to a 3speed on the tree.  Removed the power steering stuff on the frame and no power brakes.  Added a clutch and removed the automatic stuff on the steering column.  Changed the bell housing and the transmission is a copy of one from the 57 Chevy.  Added a 4-barrel carb instead of the 3 duces.

My beloved '56!  I had this in the late 70s.  I started the model last year, got this far!

My father's Beetle from when we lived in Germany. That's the only picture I have of it, sitting out front of his office.   And I started it last year and only got this far!

Many years ago just out of high school, I had an 84 Cutlass Supreme. (model is an 83) It was a wrecked car I bought from the insurance company. Many hours of hard work later and it was just like new. My replica didn’t take nearly as long! Resin hood doesn’t fit so good.

This is a good thread. ?

I had a buddy in the Navy that had an 82? Cutlass in Charcoal Metallic. I traded him my full sized spare tire for his spacesaver spare tire, I still have and have used it twice and transferred into at least 2 of my classic Grand Prixs.

 

[Bills72sj]

I have built models of one of my cars and two of my best friends cars (both of which I had driven a number of times).

1st up, my first Grand Prix circa 1983-84. Models: Modified Johnny Lightning, 1972 MPC annual and all wood replica commissioned by my best friend.

2nd up, a good friend in HS 1970 SS 396 4-speed. The only thing I did not do was the black vinyl top.

3rd up. my BFF in the Navy Jeff's 1970 R/T SE (built up) 383 Magnum 4-speed.
