Vintage Kits Are Cool!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm starting this picture thread for pure enjoyment. I grew up with this stuff and I love it!! I think building models is awesome and to some leaving a kit untouched may seem silly. But,I think seeing these kits will help some see where the collecting passion comes from. Box art...it's an American fine art!!

There's a local guy with replica of the #12 Allison/Coke Nascar, and it was featured in Hot Rod mag a while back! He even drives it on the street, I've seen him out in it a couple times!

Nice collection.
The 54 Chevy Highboy really brings back memories. That was one of my favorite models when I was a kid. Back then that was my dream car stance.
