Ultimate B-Day Present - Lateral-g Forums

Check out what Dirk Van Zuuk built me for my 40th birthday with the help of John McBride at GMP Diecast. A 1/18th scale Streetfighter Series Camaro was stripped and detailed to look just like my car. My wife stole the actual paint stash from my shop and sent it to Dirk who then sprayed the car and HAND PAINTED the graphics. The hard part, now, is that Dirk took it back home with him to add bumpers, mirrors, lights, spoiler, etc. Hurry Dirk! Many thanks to Dirk, Mary and John for this one in a million gift.

Steve:

That is one of the best gifts someone can give someone else.

Something that took thoughtfulness.
Something that took a a lot of effort.
and Something special just for you.

I have ordered several things from GNP Diecast, but I haven't had the opportunity to meet these people yet, but

My hats off to Dirk Van Zuuk, and John McBride at GMP Diecast.

That is a very nice thing to do for someone's Birthday.

Well done. (I could take a lesson from this)

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal

You lucky dog! That would be a great b-day present. Your car immortalized in miniature. I keep looking at those first couple pics thinking it's amazing how close it is to the 1:1. Classic look in that last pic, hahaha. Enjoy.

You make those lists too Sonoma?! I can think of close to a dozen here that I want.

Glad you liked it Steve! Dirk got the bumpers and other various parts. So I'm sure he's hard at work finishing the last couple details.
The model looks great, all I did was send a model and a few parts, Dirk did the hard part. My hat's off to Dirk for doing a phenominal job!
