Scott Robinson's "Bionic Wasp" 68' Camaro

Image
  Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van.

The body was customized with shaved door handles, billet grille, smooth roll pans front and rear. Early 1990’s Corvette-style tail lights were mounted in the rear pan. The C10 was built in the early nineties but it still shows very well. The interior is plush for an 82' C10, the door panels, dash, carpeting and seat are covered in gray fabric and match well. Billet aluminum trim covers the dash, while an upgraded billet Boyd's steering wheel points direction on a tilt column. Under the hood is like a jewelry box showcasing a precious gem. Powering this flashy step-side is a GM Performance 502 cubic inch big-block. The 502 consumes mass quantities of fuel through a

  Each year model builders converge at the Keystone firehouse in Boyertown, PA for the Super September Showdown.  This is the 2023 coverage of a scale model car kit show where there are multiple classes that are judged by the spectators, there were also many vendors on hand with new and vintage kits for sale. These are some of the cars and trucks that were on display, enjoy some of these small wonders.   This is my entry, a 1955 Chevy Gasser. It features a supercharged small block with Hilborn fuel injection. Fuel lines and wiring will be added later.  This has custom color changing paint and an engine turned aluminum paneling in the engine room.     I hope you enjoyed the cars, let me know if you if you would like to see more model car show coverage.
