Here we have a T style car built using parts from both Model T and Model A from Henry. The cowl and doors are from the venerable Revell Model A while the rear section is Model T, hence TNA...
The frame is from an old Revell Parts Pack frame that I lenghtened and kicked up in the rear.

A 'Rat Rod', 'traditional', 'barn find' or whatever you want to call it style of car built from an Altered States Models http://www.alteredstatesmodels.com/ resin body and a scratch built frame with a small block Chevy power plant. Painted light yellow and weathered with Rust-All.

A (lame?) attempt to build a close-to-proper-1/25th scale three window coupe.

This was built using a resin body from Altered States Models.

Here's a knock out roadster built by my good friend Kit Karson. It was sent down here in primer for one of Doug's awesome paint jobs. Nice, huh?

I was corrected by someone who is apparently in the know when I called this a "track" T. It doesn't have a track nose, so I guess it can't be a track T. So it's a T Modified. Cute, too.

It's Crazy, man!!!!!!!!!

The body is made from an old Ron Cash '27 turtle deck T that was not done well enough to do anything with but cut up, so I did. The back half is two AMT T bucket bodies spliced together to make them wider, the turtle deck is made from two pieces as well to make it wider, I also shortened it and made it taller. The hard tonneau cover is Evergreen sheet styrene with the roll bar cover coming from the Monogram 'Stinger' rear engine dragster (the one that has a funky T bucket body where the engine sits). The piece I used is the clear cockpit cover, cut up to fit my twisted needs. The frame is an MPC funny car frame shortened. The decals are from SLixx. Small block Chevy power=Mouse Pack, get it?

Built from the re-issue of the old MPC American Graffiti Coupe. This one is done '60s style with a tuck n roll interior and a white and blue color scheme with chrome reverse rims...

What if The Dream Truck and the Jimmy Shine truck collided?

Some stuff I will probably never get around to finishing...

When I lived in Rockland, Maine in '79-'80, I used to ride my bike out to this cool old stone house outside of town set on a hill covered with low-bush blueberries. At that time, the old house was in state of disrepair from years of neglect. It was just a nice relaxing place walk up to and hang out, with beautiful views of Penobscot Bay.
The house was recently rebuilt to its former glory with the help of donations and a couple of land trusts. We go back to Maine every summer and I drag the family up this hill every year. In '07 it was under construction, in '08 it was finished. It's one of my favorite places in the world. For some reason, it's called Beech Nut.
