And here we go!!       

First up.  The 914 was NOT  a fun build for me but I think came out pretty good.    I reshaped the sail panel to get it close to what it is supposed to look like. Oversize and deeper Fuchs wheels.

Nest up the '62 Catalina.  Fun build. Love the big Ponchos

'70 Chevelle SS....but y'all knew that right?

The '41 (or is it a '40) Willys  Pick-em-up.  I really like how this came out in spite of the issues I had doing it.

Last up, the '66 SS Chevelle built as a replica of the car as it looked when I picked it up at the dealership.

They all look great. I remember following your struggles with the Porsche, but you made it look correct. Like the way you built the Cataline, always liked the real thing and this is a great kit. Like seeing your personal Chevelle again, bet you wish you still had that one.

Good to hear from you David and thanks.  Oh yeah, I'd love to have another one. I'm in the process building another one to replicate my mods after I got 'er.
