Monogram Little T by Ron S. 1/24 scale



Much respect for the old school when it comes to Hot Rods AND to Model Kits! They just don't put very many cool model kits these days. It's a shame, just look at this Vintage restored T by Ron S.! It's a clear indication that people would buy these in the original design if they were offered up!
I still have mine to build...but there will be at least two other's building theirs before me.

'60 Merc


Here it is finally done! I restored/rebuilt this car and did some very mild touches. I shaved the scripts and crests/badges, lowered it a bit, changed the wheelbase so it looked better, fixed windsheild frame because it was busted in the middle and the photo can speak for the rest.

'51 Chevy 2nd Chance




As previously posted, here is the car back at home with me! This was built back in late 2003 and sold on eBay in 2005. When I got a chance to get it back and do "better" on it than back then, I took it! The plan is to sit low and it will depend on what the body looks like whether paint flies. The roof alone is bothering me with the mold lines still there, so that has to get done.

'61 Ponchos


What happens when a friend shows something you really like too! I had to take a picture of the two '61 Bonnville's I have, one being a convertible and the other a hardtop. I wish I could keep up and build faster, but these will have to wait for another day.

Chance to redo


I built this car about 6 years ago.....damn time flies! I started to notice a signifigant difference in this build and newer builds in 2005. I decided I didn't want my cars to be on the shelf with all these "less worthy" ones. In 2005 I sold all of my builds on eBay to get rid of them and get a little cash. Now I know who has the car and we are working on a simple trade for me to get it back. It still looks the same minus the wheels! Well, I know exactly what paint I put on it and what it would take to IMPROVE the car. This time around, it will be completely "traditional" mild kustom. Back when I built this car, it just seemed cool to use these wheels..but today I can't stand them.
I will post again when it's time. Notice the poor photo quality taken on a borrowed camera because at the time I only had a 1MP Kodak Millenium Gold POS.
