#50This one has been on my Featured Toon list from the very beginning , it's the '57 Bel Amino built by Plastimatic .
Starting with a GoMad kit Jim custom built the cab-bed and tonneau cover , then added a full front bumper and side exhaust . Finished in yellow and white it's a real beauty !
Having owned several El Caminos over the years this is one of my favorite builds .

OMG Bob! The timing is perfect! This month marks my move into the ranks of the socially secure (hopefully) unemployed.
Now I'll have more time for creating and building... and then apologizing to my fiancee for creating and building. 
Display space is getting tight!
Anyway, thanks to all for the support I get from the folks here.
I couldn't ask for a more creative and accepting bunch!  |

I couldn't ask for a more creative and excepting bunch!Congrats on being featured and welcome to the FFU (Federally Funded Unemployed). We all expected to have more spare time for modeling but somehow that doesn't happen for a few more years . And I understand about display space being tight , I've even tried downsizing my models to Mini-size and I still don't have any more space ! |

I keep building cabinets that go from the floor to ceiling so at least for now I have some room !! |

#53The Snoopy reissues by Atlantis have been a big hit but this months Featured Toon is actually an original Monogram that has been restored by Don Culley . Don purchased the original in very poor condition and painstakingly repaired and restored it to its original 1970's glory .
Excellent job Don !
