Why in the world did you take the roof off the Bronco? Or could those do that...?
By the way, what scale are all your cars in? 1/43? 1/18?
And I suggest working on the Olds 442. It'd be fitting to finish it now instead of later.
I'm still debating what model to buy next (once I get any money). I'm considering the Original-Teile Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR, a Team Oreca PlayStation Chrysler Viper GTS-R, the Team Oreca PlayStation 2 Dallara-Judd LMP, a Toyota GT-One, an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage (British Racing Green, of course), or an VitaPhone Opel Astra V8 Coupe from the DTM.
Now, if only someone made a 1/18th scale Team Abt Red Bull/PlayStation 2 Audi TT-R, I'd be happy, because I'd have the DTM trifecta.

I don't know how well I could do with a Trek model, or if I even have the right colours... I do have Canadian Voodoo Gray, though! I'd want to do a Starfleet ship, if any... Are there any kits that would be of a size comparable to a 1:24 scale car kit?

Think the closest is the 1:72 Runabout kit. Wait -- how big was AMT's old TOS shuttle kit? Or the main bridge?
Or do you mean that would take up the same amount of shelf space?
The biggest mass-produced Trek kits are a bit shy of two feet long (18"-22", usually). The biggest Trek kit I know of at all is the Excelsior kit in 1:537 scale -- same as the movie Enterprise kits from AMT. Sucker's about a metre long, and I want one.
My personal ideal is to eventually have a 1:1400 representation of each Starfleet ship class, from at least TOS on. Wish me luck.
For now, though, Chris. I have a couple extra TOS and movie Enterprises from the first three-ship set in 1:2500. They're about 9 or 10cm long. Still unassembled, not even cleaned up from where they were removed from the sprues. I can do any amount of prep work you might like, or not. If you care for any, let me know. I might also be persuaded to part with one of my 1:1400 Enterprise-D kits.

All the Starfleet ships are available made in 1400th: with the exceptions of the BOBW ships and a few of the DS9 kitbashes anyway.

I suppose I could try one of those 1:2500 Movie Enterprises. Although god knows when I'd be able to get around to building them. Maybe after exams...
