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.

  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.
