Like the title implies, I only managed to finish 2 models last year.

The first was a 1963 Chevy II Wagon based on the AMT Craftsman curbside kit and transformed into a period-correct early 1990’s Street Car. What was intended to be a quick build quickly went off the rails, most notably when it came to the fully customized and mostly scratch built interior.

The second marks a major milestone in my model building “career” as I was asked to build a hot rod and document the steps for a full feature in Model Cars Magazine #216 (which just came out.) I was given free reign and this rowdy looking 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe stuffed with a Ford 427 SOHC is what I came up with.

I remember both of these builds.  Just a Great pair of models but the 32 Coupe is my favorite.  Nice job for 2022.

Oh man, this is a tuffy. Been trying to decide which of these two spectacular builds I like best. I'm going with the Chevy Wagon, no wait, I'll pick the 32 Ford, yes, no, yes. Both are great...but the Ford is more my cup of team...make that "flask of Templeton Rye."

Yep, these are both stunning Dennis. I really like your clean build style. Although both are spectacular, the wagon is definitely my fav of the 2. I really enjoyed watching that one come together.

Cheers, Steve
