Hello fellow glue sniffers. I am a new member to this forum and wanted to show-off my favorites. The truck is over 10 years old and has some scratches and chips, but she (Incognito) is my favorite. The Bel-Air was customized following the steps in Scale Auto for "Bubbles" if you remember that far back - LOL. And the Ranger is a concept of what I would like to do to my own Ranger. Details with the pics.

Truck Tonneau (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c260/rangergt/Models/79528457.jpg)
This truck is a combination on the 454SS and 1500 Street Machine kits. I used the cab and chassis from the 454 and the rest from thee SM kit. A lot of mods on this, 10 1st place/Best In Show awards at Auto Show contests. Tonneau cover was hand striped at World of Wheels by striper Steve Cox.

Bel-Air 3 (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c260/rangergt/Models/a916be8e.jpg)
'62 Bel-Air - made following a build illustrated in Scale Auto magazine of a 62 called Bubbles. I used a different paint scheme than the mag though. She suffered a slight "fall" :eek2: and the rear bumper came off, have not put it back yet.
Ranger (http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c260/rangergt/Models/Ranger1.jpg)
My Ranger concept - has a Honda Civic front bumper and is shaved, lowered and painted with color change paint (metal flake is a little out of scale) I also added SL500 mirrors. The bed is just resting on the frame, that is why it is out of alignment.
Anyway those are my favorite models. I look forward to building again in the near furture and getting to know some more fellow modelers here.
