Wow! Thanks for sharing Bob.
Our hobby continues to amaze me. I did not know all these Dave Deals kits existed, like the Nova taxi 😎

Love that Yellow Jacket.

Thanks John !
The Super Taxi and other Snap-Tites are Tom Daniel kits and some are getting very hard to find .

This is the "Little Rod" , the first of my tribute builds to the Monogram 1/8th scale rods of the 60's .

[TooOld]

I haven't updated my gallery in a long time so here goes !

After the Little Rod I built two more based on the Monogram 1/8th scale kits . . .
The "Little Drag"


and the "Little Tub"


My "Little T" redone by adding the pickup bed .


The "Son Of Ford" finally finished with original decals .


Box Stock build from the reissued kit .


Zinger using an AMT 1/43rd body . First place in the Zingers Contest !


Another Zinger using a diecast '32 body .


This is a resin Deal's Wheels kit by Motorpsycho/Model Factory Hiro . Very hard to find .


This Mini Cheetah is also by Motorpsycho/Model Factory Hiro . It's tiny !!




Now my finished builds for 2019 . A little bit of everything .

Apollo 11 landing , built for the 50th anniversary .


First Funny Car I've built since the 60's !


I spent several months on this one . First place in the "Ed Roth Rat Fink Weird-Ohs Reunion Contest" .


This is the Atlantis reissue of "The Ghost Of The Red Baron" with LED eyes added .


A survivor from around 1977 , a couple of wheels had fallen off but this is how it looked when I unboxed it !


Nice little "Snap" kit . This is right out of the box , somebody could really super detail this kit !


Box stock build of an original kit from my stash . Not happy with the color , I really wanted to just practice making the white decals .


A replica of one of my 1:1 '60 El Caminos . I built this several years ago but now redid it with the correct wheels and tires , lowered ride height , and steering added .


Another long term build using an old Monogram body , some diecast parts , and a resin Elvira. First place in the Halloween Contest .
