Still in. Just not in a big hurry at the moment.

I'm going to go ahead and say I'm out. I can't force myself to build a particular car. I have to just go with what I feel like at the time. I finished 3 cars on a whim and it felt good to do. Two years in a row I can't bring myself to complete anything.

Who knows where your interests will be when the days get short and temps get cold. That's what always brings me back to the bench.

Thank you :) It looks good near by the stock Mini. And yes, I wanted to interpret Bean's Mini (doesn't care about the right model / year). He is awesome and the Mini as well.

On detail is on it: Mr. Beans theft protection :lol:

You're probably right. I shouldn't count myself out yet

Working on the bodywork on my Skyline to make the wheel wells look stock.  Got a bit more work to do.  Engine is pretty much done, and the chassis is close to done.20150708_185047-1_zpsjsvg9uxl.jpg

oha...work is going on here. Cool stuff! Airvents in the roof...Mr.Beans CB..."lousy" Pickup...cool!

My bug is in the waitingrow...i have problems with the sliding roof, to make it working...stupid (<- me)...no idea what material i could take for. Time will tell.

I'm just thinking about to throw a second car in...an old BelAir...hm.

Ricardo has commenced reassembling the GTO in the Winery barn after receiving the rebuilt engine from his friend Luigi.

The chassis is going together well considering the shape it was at the start. Everything has been test fitted and I'm putting it back together following the instructions I found online. Everything will get dirty and greasy at the end.

Awesome progress everyone!

I got my kit out and started doing a little work this past weekend, I'll try to get some pics up after the glue sets a little better.

Uhh... kinda stalled on the Corvair. Trying to make a turbo manifold for it is interesting, to say the least... maybe the Monogram '55 F100 street rod would be more easy since the engine is already new and torquey...

Delahaye July.

 

Sleeper is progressing gradually. Now it is the turn of body work to outline style. I do not want big changes in appearance. It does not look like a racing car.
