Here's what I have completed in my 8 years as a member here. That's a rate of about one a year!

Well, that's as good of an example of "quality over quantity" as I've seen here!
They are all outstanding, but I'll have to say that the Wood Bros. 21 and the Pop Cola Merc REALLY stand out.
You have every reason to be extremely proud of all of those.
Now....get back to building so we can see some more!

They all look great. The crash damage on the Mercury is outstanding.

That Warren Tope build is great too! That livery and the laid back door numbers looks like it would add 40 mph:) Every one of those is a gem.

Firefly, would that be the aluminum-looking type of HVAC tape that you used for the bumper fairings on the Friday H. Chevelle? Whatever it is, it looks perfect.
I recently used Nashua brand HVAC tape to do the bumper fairings and the license plate area block-off on a Charger 500 build and it worked better than any other method I've ever tried.

That was a scratchmade conversion started by a member here, and I bought the body from him. I had to create the front bumper from scratch. The flat hood is from the amt/jo-han stock car kit. Not sure if you have the nose-only conversion, but keep in mind the '73 Torino had a flat hood.

Thanks, John. For aluminum fairings and plates, I used the foil seal from a coffee can. The thing you peel off under the lid. Chock Full O Nuts, I believe. I coated the back with Bare Metal Foil liquid adhesive.
