Sport Suburban Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I didn't do this last year but figured that I would show off what I completed this year. I finished 11 this year which I figured I would get more done since I finished the 1:1 71 Chevelle this year back in May. I have many more started and unfinished projects in the pipeline. So I hope to finish many more this year. AMT 58 Thunderbird convertible, Started with a 60 that had all the emblems sanded off. Modelhaus bumpers, wheels and a 59 interior tub. Body emblems were foil cast from a 58 promo. Uptop is from a 65 Thunderbird annual. AMT 64 Corvette annual restored AMT 66 Corvette annual restored JoHan 69 Javelin SST restored from junkers MPC 70 Camaro SS 396 restored AMT 60 Thunderbird convertible restored MPC 72 Camaro SS 396 restored AMT 65 Corvette annual restored MPC 70 Firebird Formula 400 restored
Sport Suburban Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Revell/Mini Exotics 70 Shelby GT500 convertible. I built this years ago and wanted to repaint it and foil it. This is not the new kit that came out this last year! AMT 60 Thunderbird sunroof restored, I cut the sunroof opening in this one to replicate the rare option for this car. I just realized that all of my finished builds are restorations. Many of these I have photos of what I started with.
moparfarmer Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Very nice collection of cars..2014 was a good year for your building...
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 That's all I did this year was restorations as well! Loved every second of it! Nice work Raoul! I especially like the T-birds. Steve
Dyno Davo Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Wow, nice assembly of cool models, super neat build quality.
peekay Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 All great but, as a T/Bird fan who much prefers the AMT kits to the Monogram, I'm in love with this beautiful trio.
Guest Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Those are all great restorations Raoul! I love doing them myself. But, I never can put them back to stock.
Mopar - D Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Very nice restorations. Do you have the before pictures for them.
Ramfins59 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Great work on those Resto's Raoul, you had a very productive year.

Sport Suburban Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) 70 Firebird Formula 400 72 Camaro SS 396 69 Javelin SST, I have shown this one before. This is what I started with from ebay! Edited January 2, 2015 by Sport Suburban
mikemodeler Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Those are nice and looks like some were a real challenge!
Sport Suburban Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks guys! Here is the early pic of the 70 Shelby GT500 convertible. Not much different. Just a repaint and foil. I did have to redo some body work. This is the 60 Thunderbird convertible that I turned into a 58. It had 59 bumpers on it but a 60 interior tub. The hood opens up so I knew the body was a 60. This is the 70 Camaro SS 396
