My interior will soon be black. The seat trims are new Parchment, but the wife says black. The car was built Carousel Red with a red deluxe interior, so the door trims, dash and console have been died but are in very nice condition considering the age and climate they came from. I have all the new parts, I'll be starting that project in a few weeks.

I've never seen a Carousel Red car with red interior. What color was the original top?
What year is you RS?

Carousel Red, Red deluxe interior, white top. I think I saw a PMD photo of one in an accessory brochure or something. I don't know how rare it is, but it's one combo that I can't keep original.

The Camaro was just completed last summer, it was one of our clubs projects. It's a '73 Z28, but we added the RS front.

Got back at it. Thought maybe I needed a wrecker to move all those old vehicles around. Actually I made the engine housing first and thought it was too big for a pick-up and decided on a dually truck and went from there.

Very nice!

This might be the last one until fall. My son is building a bar in his lower level and I thought a beer truck for the back bar would be a good gift. Point Beer is made by a small brewery 60 miles west of here in Stevens Point WI. My son is a fan of the small/local brews so the choice was easy.

Got around to another one. One of my brothers-in-law (I owe him for some bodywork that he under-charged me for) just built a bar in his lower level. He provided the stickers for the Point Beer truck and I thought that he needed his own beer truck.

I haven't posted anything for a while. Summer in Wisconsin seems short so you don't want to miss it. Anyway, I have been picking away from time to time. The first one became a '20s logging truck. After that I decided that I needed a military M-37 for myself (I gave the other two away).

I admire you creative types! Nice work.

Every kid should have a hobby, even a 70 y/o kid like me! I've been refinishing an endless flow of gunstocks from my FFL. I do scratch, ding and chip touchups (CA or lacquer drop fills depending on the original finish) to full refinishes. Just finished up a Weatherby Vanguard that was ugliest walnut I'd ever seen That I faux grained to look like Claro Walnut.

Before


Stained and Grained


Finished

I just realized that I haven't posted anything here for a year. It's not that I haven't been busy. Here are a few models that I've bui;lt in that time.
