That's good advice , there was a promo just like yours on ebay a week or two back and some one bought it for $24.00

Thanks for looking and commenting , the wheels and hub caps are perfect for an early Falcon . I put them (wheels/tires) on a 1961 2dr. Falcon and they looked great-the chassis & interior tub is made out of plastic so its easy to take apart and work with . The chassis is simple but done well ,I would have had to change the stance to get the mags under it , that's why I didn't use them . I just wanted to get it done and not have another stalled project . I took a couple of pictures out side and it seems the color looks more like it does in person . It might be time to buy a new camera .....

Decided against changing the wheels/tires , but I'm happy with the way it came out .

The two versions First Gear is making now are Ford Tractor Parts and Allis-Chalmers Tractor Parts so a lot of tractor dealerships that sell diecast would be getting them , I'm sure after awhile they will come in a lot of different versions and the price will come down . I joined the First Gear site and buy direct from them .
This is a picture I found on Google that is just about how I would like a 1:1
The paint is HoK (House of Krylon) Sea Glass/Satin with a few light coats of Krylon clear
the tires /wheels that are going on it

First Gear Ford EconolineThe first generation Econoline diecast is out , I tried to remove the tampo print with finger nail polish remover and found the red is the secondary color and came off too.
so I took it apart , stripped the paint , gave it a quick shot with the sand blaster to rough up the surface and re painted it

We spent last week camping at the lake
the park bulletin board said Thursday was 91* and it feels like 109*
it was the first time we used the A/C - the inside thermometer said 70* and it felt like......... 70*

I've tried the 'Ultra Chrome' and didn't like it too much , same goes for the 'Gold Chrome' and the 'Black Chrome' . I like the regular chrome just fine though . It helps to keep it stored in a dark cool place , my wife came up with this for me-
she just cut the end off of a manilla envelope and taped it to the inside of the fridge , it stays fresh and out of the way.
