I entered the contest way back in 1991 with a custom '49 Mercury. Back then, they accepted mail-in entries, which was how my model got there. I was given instructions on how to pack the model for safe transport, which I followed to the letter. I was a nervous wreck for the time it was away from me! However, it returned just the way I had shipped it! I was so happy to see the model back in perfect condition! My hat is off to Mark and anyone that had any contact with it! I couldn't have been more pleased! Very professional handling by all. And it didn't hurt to be a winnerin the custom category either. Oh yeah, being Canadian, the carton had to go through customs, which really freaked me out, but no harm done! I would love to go there, but I wear a Timex, not a Rolex!
