Any model car guys?

I was wondering how many are here besides myself

Here's some of what I'll get finished one day or restored/built etc

some of those look real familiar, I have several of them in my model mopar garage! Many of them I have in more than one color. I have a couple of the 1/16 Street Charger also, one painted like my charger with the proper mopar color.

I'm rebuilding my collection after suffering a fire 9 years ago that wiped out a 32+ years collection

My youngest daughter is into models a little & we're going to build a diorama themed on things in my life, real cars & trucks that I've built or had a huge part in building. the buildings & such will be built using American Plastic Bricks a toy that I played with as a kid

The truck & trailer are custom built for a Mopar race team

The truck on a Revell KW frame has the framing for storage that will hold things like jacks,stands,gas cans,canopy, etc

Here's some pics of the build that was done during a blizzard a couple years back

Built this one back when I was doing the real car. I'd come home from working on the real car, then start on this one to make sure it was the way I wanted it to be. Ended up selling it on e-bay one day for a little over $50, and I had to draw him a diagram of how I wired it to make the lights work, and how to make a working door and trunk lid.

I hope I can post mine when it's completed! However, normally, a lot of people will “trade up” their vehicles so they do not have to deal with thesecostly repairs. But when people are tightening their wallets and bracing for a loss of income, holding on to what they have means keeping a car in good repair.
