The odds of me finishing anything else this year is slim, but I never count myself out till the end. Had a busy year, and was able to achieve a few things on my bucket list ( Finally got the Chevy Truck I wanted since I was 3, and got the Classic car I wanted since I was 4 and went to my first car show). needless to say I'm a very happy camper this year. Also met a few people who are very close friends now, and got to chew the fat with them, that is always great, learned lots of life lessons (good and bad), you know the usual stuff.

2011 Total: 12

2012 Total: 14 (Started and finished this year:7, the rest I started last year or before)

January: '58 Impala Coupe (3rd Place win at the Ajax 32 show)

Nick,

You have progressed tremendously, and those awards prove it!

You're still learning, and you've shown a willingness to actually try to learn, and that's another sign of your increasing maturity, as a builder and as a man.

We're all very proud of you. The hobby's future with youngsters like you is in good hands.

I agree with Charlie 100%.

Nick, I've been watching your progress for a couple of years now, and I have to say you have turned out to be a top-notch builder. As Charlie said, you've come a long way, and you should be very proud of yourself. You are one of our "success stories!" B)

Thanks guys it really means a lot, you guys have been the ones to help and teach me, to be honest I forget how long I've been here but I do know that I've greatly improved.

Thought I'd add a picture of my Toronto Metro cars together
