I stopped by my mothers last night to help her with some organization of her kitchen after a remodel. Found these that I had forgotten about and brought them home. The green car was done by a family friend for my father. The white 67 was done by my father back in the early 70s.

Very cool. I just picked up a 69 Rs z with a crossram at hobby lobby. They even had daytona yellow and hugger orange in cans

Yeah it seems like every time I go to Hobby Lobby I walk out of there with something Camaro.. Heres a Yenko I built waaaay back when I was a teen.

55 Chevy I built back in '13. Tried to make it look like a barn find that someone upgraded the brakes and wheels.. Its amazing what some of the guys can do with models.. I know there was one guy here that posts on occasion that does Trans Am models and I cant hold a candle to him and others Ive seen.. Still fun to build them.. Maybe others will post up models they have built.

These I can deal with. At least there are no counterfeit trim tags to worry about ;)

Here is one I built around 1972 or 1973. Right front wheel fell off when I moved it! Also a few other parts are missing, sadly. I should try to find this kit and do another one. Back then it wasn't unusual for dad and one of his buddies to run a Ford and a Chevy on the same dirt track the same night, in different classes.

All my models are long gone. Model building was sort of a precursor to a hobby we'd enjoy later in life. I was into drag cars. Funny I remember, but my favorites where a straight axel 56 and a BBC Fiat. Always and will forever dig those Gassers! ( Used to trade parts with a buddy, slicks, engines Lol) Trim and fit.

Very cool you guys were into that. That's all I did as a kid, and my father too. I have models here dating back into the early to mid 60's, a few may be as old as the 1950's. It was a passion I picked up from my father, used to enter model building contests and have several trophies.
Bill, I bought that same 69 RS Z I bought from Hobby Lobby and my son built it a couple years ago.
I very carefully boxed up all mine and my fathers and stashed them away years ago, they fill half the shed. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than 100 of them.

The sad thing is they doubled in cost
