   Harry, you might want to check out www.archertransfers.com for louvers.  They are resin printed on a decal sheet and come in a variety of sizes. They are not open, but with some black paint or marker they are close. JIM

   I think a Ranchero from Revell is a certainty since I purchased a JF resin kit.  It seems that every time I've bought a resin body to use with a current kit the model company adds that body style to their lineup. JIM

   Jeremy, let me know if you need contact info for the Ft. Wayne club. If you'd like I can add you to the HMCA email newsletter list so you'll receive show flyers.
   
   In the past we've had members who drove from Ft Wayne to Indy to attend meetings and even how we have one member who lives in Grant Co.

   I like them all, so I voted "other".
   I'm surprised Art didn't list the Vicky. I think the Phaeton, Vicky, and the closed cab and roadseer pickups, in that order, would be the best choice for the next body style in this series. JIM

If you're interested in receiving our monthly newsletter , which has includes a calendar of area events and flyers for many of them, send me an email and I'll add you to the list.

    Harry, I agree that a point system is great, but it takes a lot more time or a lot more judging to do the judging with a point system. HMCA did that for several years and even with a great swap meet to occupy the time, modelers get impatient waiting for the judges to finish.

    LHS had a Revell flyer that listed the '32 5W for July. I think some folks may have seen a test shot at the Milwaukee NNL. I'm gonna pre-order a couple.
