July Meeting Photos:

Lyle Willits is revitalizing and upgrading an old SMP 1960 Chevrolet El Camino curbside kit into a full-detail kit, using parts from a Revelle '60 Chevy Impala Hardtop kit.

Rick Donovan has been busy. Of note is the black Austin gasser. Rick said the black plastic body was molded so nicely with no swirls or imperfetions, he just polished it with the Novus polishing system. RIck's other gasser models include a 1937 Chevy, 1962 Ford Ranchero, 1951 Henry J, and 1932 Ford roadster. Later body-styles include a 1967 Dodge Charger and a 1967 Chevy Malibu.






Ken Shanks built this customized 1965 Buick Riviera.

Marcos Cruz rolled out his 3D printed Toyota Corolla KE17 from Mini-Retro and a Jaguar XKE convertible.



Lewis Hicks showed us his fabulous build of Atlantis' recent re-issue of Tom Daniel's Fire Iron.

Kevin Kovach is launching into a few new projects.

Leonard Harrod displayed a couple of Plymouth Super Stockers.

Kevin Buter parked this 1939 Ford Sedan Delivery on the display table.

Gordon Chin displayed two large scale builds, a Pocher Ferrari Testarossa and a late-80's Mercedes SL500.

Norm Veber built this Piranha "Funny Car" Dragster in the mid-60s. Looks like it has held up very well.

Dave Schmitt is diving into three new projects: a 1937 Ford Pickup hot rod, a 1937 Cord 812 Beverly Sedan, and a 1940 Lincoln Continnental Club Coupe.


Brian Beatty set out his 1948 Ford Coupe, Toyota 4x4 Pickup, 1957 Chevy Nomad, and 1968 Camaro.



Howdy Hoffman, Jr. resurrected this Dodge A-100 pickup at the meeting after it took a fall and crashed onto the floor as he was entering the building.

Mark Wheeler placed his 1964 Cadillac Coupe DeVille primer project on the table along with his 1967 Ford Fairlane and 1962 Pontiac Catalina.


Sadly, I didn't see who displayed these models.


The Theme of the Month Table featured Foreign Cars.






































The Pontiacs on Parade parking lot was busy this month.

Some of the action:


































Despite a lower-than-usual attendance, the raffle table was stocked with some good items, and No, that's not a toaster in the center! It was an airbush compressor.

This month we had donut holes, cookies, and whole donuts.
