Nick Winter Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 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) March:'40 Ford Coupe resto (original 60's build clean up) & '71 Barracuda 440 (started as a rough built up) May: Morris mini (bought from a modellers collection after he passed away and finished in his honor)
Nick Winter Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 July: '89 AMT Vette Roadster (out of box) & '78 Firebird Trans Am (won 2nd at 2012 Group 25 Show) August: '66 Malibu Street Rat (out of Box, and pretty much box stock) & '97 Toronto Metro Police car (won 1st at 2012 Group 25 Show) September: '49 Mercury Club Coupe (2012 Cannonball Run) October: '50 Chevy Shop Truck & '69 Used to Bee

charlie8575 Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 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. Charlie Larkin
rmvw guy Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Great year, congrats! Not a Mopar man myself but, I love the one on the trailer.

The hobby's future with youngsters like you is in good hands. Charlie Larkin 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!"
Scalper Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I also agree. Looking forward toward your 2013 builds.
Jantrix Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 That's a great collection Nick. You keep getting better and better.

TooOld Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 They all look great Nick ! The '58 Impala is cool with the decals in the windows , and I really like the '66 Malibu !
Nick Winter Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 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 40 years is quite a difference. Nick
realgone58 Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Awesome builds! Love the Impala and the shop truck.
