I have not posted any of my builds on here before, just always looked. So here are some of my builds while I was in college (2004-2008). Sorry for the poor quality in the pictures, I am still getting used to my dig cam.

1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. My mom had one in black with red inter. This one is deep met. brown, with saddle tan inter and half top.

1971 Ford Thunderbird. I had a '78 Ford Thunderbird Diamond Jubilee when I was in HS, I still miss that one.

And a 1972 Chevrolet Nova. The color is avocado metalic green with black half top. Only mods I did with this one, made this into a non SS version.

Nice models of cars you don't see every day! I like the realistic looking "oops" on the Nova's front end! My former in-laws had a 77 Monte just like your mom's - black w/red velour interior. Sweet car!

Thanks guys!

I have a soft spot for the "under dog" of cars that most just ignore. I built a few Vegas, Pintos, and Chevettes, when I was 10-14 years old. My folks thought I lost it.

All three of these cars were built with out a paint box, just rattle caned in my dorm. I would walk down my hallway to the open stairwell and paint away. I was caught by the campus police when I was painting the Nova. But when I showed them what I was doing, they just laughed. I guess they thought I was "huffing". :D

Those all look sweet..I especially like the T-bird! :D

Your Monte looks a lot like one I finished recently...

Yea, I saw your Monte Carlo and said to myself "I think its time to post some pictures". Also, we used the same period correct Calif lic. plates, along with the same numbers.

Very nice work! I'm very happy to see some fine factory stock work! Nice job replicating accident damage on the Nova as well!
