Harry P. Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 He's Joel Dirnberger... his work has been featured in Scale Auto Enthusiast in the past, years ago, but I haven't heard or seen anything from him in many years. And at the bottom of his site it says "this page last updated June 2003"... so it's been a while!
RodneyBad Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Perty cool work turning a Geo Storm into a Geo Metro Convertible. A Resin cast one would've been nice.
Guest Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Joel is from Monticello, MN, 34 miles from me. He, at least at one time, not sure about now, was a mamber of the club I was in, MCCM, Model Car Club of Minnesota. I think he was taking pictures at NNL North for a article either in MCM or SA. I know he was going to resin cast those Metros at one time, but not sure what has happened to the plans. Would be interested myself.
george 53 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Hey, I got onnea them! Only paid about 10 bucks for it at our Toy show. Not much more that what a real one goes for nowdays! I THINK it's gonna get Pro-Stocked out. Finally gonna make it's dreams come true!
Modelmartin Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I actually know Joel and the Geo Metro Convert master is at Norm Weber's house! It has been there for years and it doesn't sound like it will be produced.
