Paintless model cars can be fun. The AMT '62 Impala convertible is an original 1962 kit that I had to build. I did the Revell '57 Ford and Chevy about ten years ago. I added wheels from Monogram '58 T-bird to the Ford and from the Monogram '57 Corvette to the convertible. The blue and white '57 Ford hardtop dates to 1978. I saw one exactly like it, restored perfectly, in the Burger King parking lot where I worked. Went home and built the model. Dusty from being unboxed in parents' basement after 35 years. Still looks good! The JoHan Road Runner was a project I started back in the late '70s and found it when I got all of my stored stuff out of the parent's basement five years ago. Fun to open boxes and see kits I had long forgotten about.

Here is my Model made after purchasing the 69 pacer in 1984, shortly after a good friend attended a industry event in the great state of Indiana during May 1986, somehow he found his way into the brickyard and a facility hosted "dinner" where they had a table full of various 8x10 prints of INDY 500 memories, He snagged a Official Pacer photo and fashioned a display for my model that was sitting on a dresser in my home. I came up with the idea to hang the wooden followers below and attach the dash plaques chronicling show attendance.

Like most tons of various models Car, Boat, Plane And Trains met with the various demises of BB Guns, Firecrackers etc....

This is the best I have been able to do with a rattle can. '66 Chevelle I started back in '18. Going for a replica of my fathers old L34 '66. Textured ceilling in the laundry room as it makes it look like the paint is wonky. I need to eventually get back after this little project but like most things I run out of daylight.
