Thanks Joker, Bad willys! Buckeye so cool that you still have yours, I would love to see them. I like the Virginia, philo. Scratch built is the best. I'll post a few more of my uncles models that he gave me. I was 6 or 7 when he was building them. My first build was a 61 Ford. I don't have it. I'm glad he kept his until I was old enough to appreciate and take good care of them. Ron...
Thanks!they are true relics of modeling history and should be preserved intact. Great stories behind them too!
Thanks, for your post and likes. Another one of my uncles. Notice his style, skirts, dual exhaust, lowered in the rear. And nice paint for the time.
This is my favorite survivor model that my uncle built. A 60 Ford Sunliner.{ Note the fountain pen exhaust}
I really enjoy this thread, massive talent on here. My buiding skills may not stack up but I`ll post a couple. AMT hemisphere with the body cut down.
Kit bash using the frame from an AMT double dragster and the AMT parts pack 25` T body. Pontiac motor from an AMT blueprinter parts pack, wheels and tires are Revell.
Here's my finished 57 ford gassed wagon w/a 312 yblock and 48 ford pickup tow rig w/an ardun flathead

Haven't shared anything here in a while. Here's a couple of early 60's competition cars I've recently finished.

Thanks Dennis, and Tn Trash ! Those are great on so many levels. Mainly they are just fun to look at. And thanks to everyone else too. Great work everyone. That T roadster {86 B/A } is so cool. So I started on my old T, that I picked up at Nats East. I always try to add a picture with my post, even if it is just a start. The dirt is gone. But it needs a lot of parts. Ron...
I'm working on, {playing with } my Nasty T model. Where or what can I get for the gas hoses ? This is a lot of fun for only $15. Thanks Ron...
Dennis, your roadster rules...Ron, try insulation stripped from small gage wire for your gas lines- Murphy
Got a little paint on the Biscayne, and am finding the body is kinda warped, so I'm being lazy and rather than fix that, I'm playing with Model T parts. '25 body and interior, '25 floor/fender unit with the fenders cut away from the aprons, '27 chassis, suspension, wheels/tires, and engine. It's inspired by, but not a replica of, the Roy "Multy" Aldridge Model T. I've lowered it, just a little. I keep toying with the idea of trying to scratchbuild an aftermarket OHV setup for it, but I think I'll keep it simple with the engine and just modify an intake/carb setup, build a header and exhaust, and maybe add a distributor.
Here is my first build in about 15 years.... If I could see up close better I could do more detail [emoji53] Sent from my LG-H343 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Working on building a model of my '30 coupe. Have pretty much everything I need or can make but the rear fenders. If anyone has some rear fenders they would be willing to sell or can tell me where I can get them I would appreciate it. Thanks
