Continuing the pace from 2007, I was able to finish several more projects. \u00a0After suffering a major set-back with the Chevy truck, I finally finished one of the more ambitious custom projects. \u00a0Looking back on it now, I would have loved to try a few different ideas. \u00a0The 1939 Chevy was another great project that resolved the fact that I never liked the way it turned out when I built it in 1996. \u00a0Not only did I clean up the look but I was able to use a flip-flop paint that I had bought years earlier.<\/p>\n

Finished this year:<\/p>\n

1966 GTO<\/a>
\nFD3S RX7<\/a>
\nCustom Chevy Truck<\/a>
\n1939 Chevy Rework<\/a>
\nS2000 #1<\/a><\/p>\n

I also started several new kits. \u00a0The MKIII and MKIV Supra kits, EG Civic Hatch, 1932 Highboy, Fiat Abarth, VW Type 1 bus, 1970 Buick GSX and 1970 Chevelle. \u00a0I ended up shelving the Buick and the Chevelle after I realized I had too many projects in the works. \u00a0I also shelved the VW Bus after shaving the trim and roughing the body work since I really didn’t know where I wanted to go with the project. \u00a0I also started a clear racing hemi engine earlier in the year to work on something different.<\/p>\n
