Hey, all of you 1:18 scale modders! Please listen up! It's no secret...
... that on occasion I enjoy doing a diecast modification. I've post photos of my work from the past year but many of you have work from the past that many of us have never seen or forgotten. So, please, for fun please post some photos of your past work. I'm sure the members here would love to see it! Frank Lemire, Rich Sufficool, Bill Bennett, Clifford Read, and of course, Chris Moroni and the rest, post some stuff!
I'll start it off...

I found a few...
For a while very popular, and still somewhat, the Unrestored cars. These were done by a local retired body shop painter.

Couple of my favorites, especially the Sebring Plus
Shelby has a working trunk made from the Lane/Exact Detail fastback. Sebring was, a GTX. Only thing I would do different is buy some real chrome paint for the rear bumper. After multiple times trying to foil it and it not looking correct I just used alcad but it still didnt look perfect, but its the only one I know of.

I like them all, but especially the Sebring Chaparral. Another example of a car that Exoto will probably never make, so we'll never see one for sale.
