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?

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.

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).

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.

Here's a few more.
Spring can't come quick enough. I need to get out of the shop and back on the road.

Truly impressive, thanks for posting more.
Wheels and tires are beautiful... would love to see close-ups and learn how you produce such precise-looking detail. |

What closeups would you like to see? Ask any questions you would like and I'll try to answer. Message me, we don't need to bore everybody else here.

Winter hasn't given up yet so I'm still in the workshop. This one is modeled after a tractor that my dad bought used and the one I learned to plow on. It is a 1958 Case 800 "Case-o-matic" Diesel.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
