 Here is one from 2012 and one of the few stock builds I have done. In my opinion the 63 Corvette split window was one of the most beautiful cars ever made and needs no additions. AMT kit with a 327 4 barrel, The only additions are photo etched window cranks [first time ever using them] and some white wall tires. |

 Put the finishing touches on [#17 for the year] the 1963 Ford F100.

I finished up #19 of 2014 Behind the 8 ball chopper today. Quick build built pretty much out of the box, but added clutch/brake cables, kick stand and a bigger headlight. Hand painted the 8ball and added small flames from the Revell 49 Merc.  |

This was the first one I finished in 2015. One of the first cars I ever owned was a 1979 Chevy Monza notchback [coupe] with a 305 AT. When I set about to make a scale copy of it I was disappointed to find that the only one close was the MPC Chevy "sportback" which was a hybrid Monza/Vega and a hatchback. I decided to use the rear window/trunk from the 81 Citation to make the correct body. Other changes were adding a 305 AT motor and remaking the kit chassis. Mine had dual exhaust, but the kit chassis didn't. Scratch built the taillights and added a cowl hood. Finally the dashboard was totally incorrect, but by combining parts from the kit dash/1977 Monza Spyder/81 Citation dashes I was able to recreate the correct one.  |
