I think he has a Cuda, but not sure!
Yes, along with many of the guys here, he is a Mopar fan!
Must be a man thing, huh?
Don't get me wrong, there are many Mopar's that I like too!

He has a couple birds, actually one of them is of my gold TA that I had back in the late 80's!  He needs to take more, but I didn't want to overload you guys with too many pictures!

 ;D

Love the models!  I havn't been able to actually finish one in the last couple of years, though I've got probably about 20 in some stage of assembly!

I used to work for AMT as a model kit designer from 89-91, it was my dream job

AMT model kit designer - cool.  I always wondered where the designs came from - I mean, GM didn't throw the kit over the wall and somebody had to come up with a mold that looked right.  that would be a dream job.

Actually thats a monogram 78 TA, I think they had warbird on the box as well, I've been working on that one for awhile.  I usually wait until my buddy is painting a particular color and then have him paint my stuff as well.  Those are all painted with a BC/CC automotive paint, comes out super nice!

Those models are base coat clear coat?? Wow. Do you use a standard size gun or is it scaled down? That'd be a sweet job I gotta say. How did you design the models? A computer program?

He uses a standard hvlp gun, when he was spraying the car he would just shoot my car as well.
It was AMT/ERTL when I worked there, it was agreat job, got to travel to where ever the real car was and spend a couple days taking photos and measuring.  We used a computer program to design everything in 3D.
