OLD SCHOOL with a twist

I am fairly new to this forum but I built 1:24 models in the late 50s and early 60s with my brother. I was an early teenager then and I liked the hot cars of the times- hopped up Fords, Chevies, the hot rods and dragsters.

Below are two models that my brother and I customized during this time.


Keep in mind that the techniques and materials were quite limited in these early days and that my brother and I certainly were not anywhere close to professional modelers. BUT we did like 1:1 hot rods and custom cars; IE, George Barris, Big Daddy Roth, etc. etc.machines.
I hope you will like the images of these two cars.


What do you think of these after 40+ years?

THANKS
