Not sure where the mental glitch happened, I guess I'm going senile. The pack in the photo literally said Evergreen on it and I was still searching under Plastruct.

I wonder if Salvinos has these molds too?

Thank you! I was looking for it as Plastruct not Evergreen. Appreciate the help.

How did I miss this kit? I didn't know they made a Square-Bird. Looks like you are making excellent progress, have fun on it!

I'm thinking of making a Winnebago and I'd like to use something like this. Years ago someone sold this sort of plastic in larger sheets, like 12x24 or so. It has raised lines on it and would look pretty close to the stuff used on a 1:1 Winnie. I bought some when building a spaceship for a failed low budget local TV show. Now that I'm looking for it, I can't find it anymore. Am I just overlooking it?

There was a Texaco station in my hometown that looked like the one in the picture when I was little. It had survived being torn down and was still in use. This station was built in the late 50s-early 60's and my dad told me it had been delivered on a flatbed truck and assembled on site. The whole thing was made of white enameled steel panels. The panels were probably 8 feet each and were embossed in a 2x2 foot pattern. I think it was finally sold, dismantled and moved somewhere else to reassemble. The reason for this long story was that Plastruct has a sheet called sidewalk, I think. The pattern would come close to those 2x2 panels. It might be a good option to use, bonded to balsa or maybe modelers plywood.

Looks amazing with excellent paint and love those wheels!

I think I remember that. I used to steal my uncle's Car Craft magazines when he got through with them.

I definitely want one of these! Are the windows precut or does it just have scribed lines? I keep asking Round 2 to backdate their current issue of the van. Maybe some day they will.

There is someone in our town of less than 20,000 that has good tastes in daily drivers. Several times I've seen him in everything from Aston Martins to Lamborghinis to various Porsches. This is one of the few times I've seen one of his cars parked.

Nice model! I have a Bburago Daytona I finished in that same color. Let me know it you decide to do the decals, I could use a set.

I stole this picture from who knows where and forgot about it. Now I'm thinking it would make for an interesting car carrier.

Not sure where I got this picture, but I think this trailer originally came from AMT. Has it been reissued recently in any kit? I'd like to have one.

Tamiya's Racing White is pretty close to Ford's Wimbledon White, so it won't work for the FHP cars. You want something more like a light sand color for that.

I'd pay good money if they were to do a good detailed documentary of the OG Cannonball runs. I wish someone had taken more candid pictures of the individual cars. At one point I considered trying to make a model of all the original contenders, but the lack of pictures and viable model kits ruled that out.
