Bitchen' Toronado, Claude. I admire your imagination in the concept and design of this model, as well as your choice of colors, wheels-tires and accessories. I wish I was gifted with your creativity and talent...

Another beauty Claude! You did to the Buick what Chip Foose did to the Impala with his Impostor. If he sees your build, he is totally liable to copy it 1:1 :) 

Hi Emre!

Thank you for the comments. However, I think Mr. Foose is a fountain of ideas, and I don't think he needs my "input" to keep creating sensationnal vehicles LOL.

This is an old Metalflake Co. candy paint leftover from the... 70's! I'm not getting any younger!

Claude your paint jobs are what I try to copy. I look up to your builds and standards of models. Actually I’m a new guy compared to most here in the forum. Still learning. I wish I had the imagination of your builds and to me your the chip foose of models. One day I would like to make my own car design and model it. But I still have a lot to learn so it will not be anytime soon. Great job and I  will be looking for the next CT design. 

Hi Bruce!

I was going trough old issues of SAE, and I saw a Toyota sports car of yours that was featured. Oh my, the details, bravo!

I've got an early Vette coming soon, and a Salt car currently in the "other racers" section. Stay tuned!

Thanks Tim!

In this hobby, as in many endeavours, TIME spent can make up for lesser talent. Ask me how I know!
