I was straightening up the bench today and got to wondering what's on some of your benches these days? Do you build one at the time or like me have a dozen going at once?
Right now I have a counter top right behind my work bench and I keep my started projects that I'm currently working on there in plastic shoe boxes so that I can keep up with all of it. It as of tonight includes:
1) AMT Pro Stock Mustang II - I had just started cleaning the parts up on this one. It was going to be a simple shelf model of Scott Shafiroff's Pro Stock until I recently found out that the wheelbase wasn't right. So now we'll have to see.
2) Davy Allison Mac Tool Busch Grand National T Bird - this is a 20 year old project that I've got some work done on. I'm building it for my son in law and he has been so patient over the years that I would really like to do a really tricked out job on this one for him. But it definitely needs to get finished. Maybe for Christmas
3) Bob Glidden Motorcraft T Bird Pro Stock - Shelf model with basic detailing - I want to concentrate on learning to do some normal use weathering on this one. - just started
4) Old Johan M/T Pinto F/C restoration - this started out as a restoration and after I got it torn down and stripped I got to looking at it and thought this would make a cool Pro Street car - so I'm modifying a Matt and Debbie Hayes T Bird pro street chassis and interior to fit it now - modifying the body back to a door car - this one will probably be pretty detailed
5) Stock 1923 T delivery van - box stock - modern paint - fresh old shop truck - almost finished
6) Lindberg 1/48 scale Curtiss P63 Hawk Biplane - box stock - my first plane in over 50 years
7) Ohio George 1967 Mustang Malco Gasser - I have big plans for this one - full detail build
8) Johan 1969 Scrambler build up restoration - '72 - '74 era E/G small block chevy 4 speed tunnel ram grumpy lump hood - shelf model
9) Old 66 AWB Comet restoration - built as a low budget local boy built car - minor detailing - shelf model
10) Old 65 AWB Mustang with a stretched front end - I started this 20 + years ago before the resin body was available so I stretched it myself - I originally intended to build the Gas Rhonda car but that's been done so much I'm thinking maybe a 409 !!!
This doesn't include the 100 + started projects that I have in the collection but I try not to take any more out until I finish one of these.
So what you got? Tell us about them
