The Model Car Garage is owned and operated by Robert Korunow of Port Saint Lucie, Florida. An avid modeler since he was a kid in Westfield, N.J., Bob credits longtime modeling master Augie Hiscano of Miami for mentoring him to that higher level of the craft where even the tiniest details become crucial. Wanting to put his skills to the test, in the early 90s Bob decided to build up a Plymouth Satellite, a favorite muscle car of his youth. During the year and a half it took to build the model, an interesting thing happened. Many of the intricate details Bob needed for his model simply did not exist, so they had to be fabricated or machined from scratch. For example, in order to create the pulleys for the engine, Bob purchased a small lathe. Hearing of this, his friends were soon asking for sets of their own. Soon there were other requests and more parts that would not fit his requirements. Fan belts, steering columns, trim pieces, disc brakes, they all had to be built from scratch. By the time the Satellite was approaching completion it was a fullblown test bed for dozens of different pieces.
