As an avid Hot Rod and Custom Car modeller I love to apply my own ideas and designs to model car kits inspired by the modifications all the great customizers have done during the past 80 years, But sometimes I like to recreate an iconic Kustom as a scale model and I’m pretty sure that other model car builders like to do the same. Now here is the place to shoe these builds! I’ll make a start:

 

Billy F Gibbons’ Kopperhed, built by Pete Chapouris

There are a lot more Customs and Rods on my bucket list so this list is to be continued…

But now it’s up to you! Show us what you got!

Nice collection of replicas man.

Tom Daniel's California Street Vette. I built it in 2000, won 3rd at the Dallas IPMS Nationals, then got an email from Tom saying how nice my version was.
