Thanks for all the comments on the Van guys.

My Dad used to take me to Auto Shows all the time. I loved them and so did he.
Posting up these models, my Dad made, is like going to a car show with him.

The Chevy Nova is one of my favorite cars. Sold mine to a great guy locally who recently
just put an incredible paint job on it.

Here is my Dads take on the Nova in Blue...

Beautiful Nova there Mr Zilla. Aside from the top build quality I'm diggin' the shade of blue. I've owned 3 cars in the past of about the same shade. With a deep shine it's an eye catcher. Thanks for the pics.

Cheers,
Michael.

Here is my Dads take on a Gremlin he made into a Pickup. B-)

At this point my little kid brain was starting to take it in that anything
you want to make is possible. Believe....it's true.

Al,

No he never did enter any contest. I told him he should but, he just built for the fun of it.

He was a little bit of a perfectionist so, if he messed up he would SCREAM and be like all Mad
-n- Stuff. Then he would fix it and be Happy again.

My Dad started building models at a young age and never stopped until his Glaucoma made
his eyesight to bad to do it anymore. 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s until the early 2000s. So basically
about 50 years or so. There are many, many more model pictures for me to post up...

Bob...am keeping these models and passing them on to our son...zilla
