Ferrari 308 replica:
I have updated to more oem look. Redone the front to solid front fenders and smaller hood, extended screen, 308 replica interior and other mods. Latest progress has it almost sitting in full primer getting ready for paint.

Ferrari 355 replica:
I spent way too many years on this one.  Redid the full body as none of the panels were matching or straight.  I put this one away for a couple years to do the 308 as I was burning out on it.  I am back to it after the 308 off to paint.  There has been a bunch more work on the 355 since this pic was taken but still some to go.

5000s Countach replica:
Only a body so far.  Plan to convert from the 25th into a 5000s.

2001 Porsche Boxster:
I quite enjoy driving this little car around.  More my daily driver.

1967 Mustang:
Fully rebuilt to factory specs.  I don't have a full picture of it, just in  the background of the 308.

Custom Frame built from a Fiero:
Wish I still had this one.  I bought it to build my 288 GTO replica on.  It was built around a Fiero windshield frame and door frames.  Everything was built around that so he could keep the VIN....  It was built by a guy on Pennock's and picked it up for a great deal and ended up storing it for a few years.  I sold it off to another kitcar guy that was going to build an F40 on it.  It has since been sold again to another guy that is going to put two motorcycle engines in it.

This one would have been an outstanding start to the Countach build if I had been thinking that far ahead as it is 98.5" wheelbase...

I don't have pics of the boxster or the custom frame at work here.  I will post pics later. 

The auto hobby is way past a hobby for me at this point... Addiction is closer to the truth...

Cheers
Don

Edit to add frame and Boxster.  Only one pic left so everyone already knows what a Boxster looks like so frame it is ....

Sorry MM I got otta pocket for a while. I have almost 4000 hours total, around 250 in Hughes 269a's.

I trained civilian and flew tours in the Smoky Mountains for a couple years. I have been flying 17 years and just was blessed to get into it when I did. I still fly around the Mountains here, just as an EMS pilot now. lol.

Yeah its weird this obsession about cars. I could have saved so much money and time not being addicted to cars and motorcycles. But oh well we all got to have something that brings out the passion.

I'm at work so I don't have pictures but in my life I've owned a '57 T-bird, '71 Alfa Spyder, '72 Lotus Europa, '59 Porsche 356 Convertible D, '81 Corvette, Kawasaki ZX1100 and my current bike a Victory Vegas.  Nothing quite as exotic as a batmobile!

Thanks Tallon, you can't imagine how many times I came close to giving up on the Tribute Rumbler. It was actually my pastor that suggested I make it a tribute vehicle. He was right we are willing to work harder for others than we are ourselves. That suggestion gave me the strength and motivation to finish it. I hope this previous work will make my Murcie nice. But building a car that has a certain way of going together verses a hotrod build is very different. My Murcie will be more of a hotrod build. So not an exact replica. Thanks so much for the kind words. I know I am in the company of many fine builders and look forward to any suggestions people are willing to give. Semper Fi !!!
