    Wow, what an incredible Father and Son project! Nice work guys!
    Now you have to start building a slew of famous 1/25th Barris cars for the diorama.

    Has Barris seen this? I bet he'd be impressed.

    Now that you have all the templates, if you get bored, you can build a second (burned) diorama, post shop fire, dedicated to all the cars lost such as the Wildcat pickup, etc.

    Amazing work! Too bad there are so many model builders missing out on this project. I think this is the nicest I dio of the shop I have ever seen, very cool!
    Looking back at the first page, I see a lot of great cars being built too. :cool:

    Wow you guys knocked it out of the park!!! great Job...

    I sent the Link to Brett Barris to show George.. I'm sure he will get a kick out of it!!!

    You need to do the Building next door (Brad Mastersons Shop) too.. That held cars in transition from the East coast to the west coast and had Kustom accessories..also Where Dean Jeffries Striped cars and painted monster shirts...

  20. wow very cool ive been holding my responce until i saw the finished product i have started many diaramas over the years all of them have met an untimely demise i have been colllecting bits and pieces to start another one .....after i finish my 32 for the model build-off maybe

    you two are very talanted model builders and its great your doing it together i wish i had half the relationship with my dad (at any point in my life) to have been able to sit down and build models with him

    i see nothing but bright horizons in model building for matt if he keeps with it

    again AWESOME job and you should be proud of what youve accomplished now lets see more , lol

    Hey Matt,
    All I can say is WOW! What an excellent job you are doing! I can't wait to see it when it is finished. Has George seen it? If not I will show it to him. I'm sure he will be honored!
