Great work Dave. Be nice if you told us which kits each one is based on. The dune buggy looks like it has a Beatnik Bandit front end. Pontiac Del Mer I know but what's the bubble top from. Is the blue one a Speed Racer kit? Love it. Looks like you mated it to a Cobra. Is the silver a Mysterion? Blended with what? Orange is Surf Woody but what's the engine from?

Sorry that I missed descriptions but I had to repost and so forgot. The green Buggy is a kit bash of the Beatnik Bandit, Gypsy Dune Buggy, Meyers Manx and Corvair engine. The blue racer is the Silhouette modified with Club de Mer windscreens and an extra set of the kit fender flares. The Club de Mer has the bubble from the Silhouette - real modelers don't throw parts away The Surf Roadster is from the Surf Woody kit. The engine is a Nissan six from a Fujimi parts pack. Headlights are Citroen 2cv. Theg reen and silver one is the Dual Jewel which was a repackage of the Mysterion after Revell fell out with Roth over his biker affiliations. Fins are from the Lincoln Futura.

It was fun for me to be able to recognize nearly all of the parts that you used...and then confirm with your description. I like the way you combined things to improve on the originals. My favorite is the blue Silhouette-based one. Keep 'em coming!
