From another post right here on MCM http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/111399-whos-going-to-build-it-unrestored-cobra-427/

now yer gittin on shakey ground. From around the world ? I think a lot of young stamp collectors get lost in this quagmire only to tread water long enough to realize they'd better pare it back a bit. There out there , and being topical you'll find just about everything there is in the automotive realm. I really like the anual releases from Monaco. These are F1 oriented.

"Back in the day"

Fins ?

and more sets

There's a bunch that aren't in sets .

Here's some for Harry.

Didn't miss these did ya ?

Actually, that was just my point. A car that appeared in print as a new build "Show" car and a year later as the "Patina" craze got under way, wala. a full blown patina with rust and all fiberglass replica,clone,kit car,fake.

Called "Topical" collecting, you could put together quite a nice collection of U.S. stamps with just an automotive theme. Up until the early '70's there were only about 27 different U.S. stamps with an automotive theme and you really had to search for them. Now, wow, even Hot Rods.

Good idea for something like that

It's a Columbia 2 speed rear end. http://www.hemmings.com/magazine/hmn/2006/06/Columbia-two-speed-rears/1280603.html There are a few kits out there with this early hot rod option in them,

Are you asking for advise or some one to do the work for you ? Either way brazing is no different than soldering except for the material and the temperature.

As a 1:1 thing, imagine pulling an old car out from under a pile of junk knowing what you've got, but what shape is it in ? Now out in the day light you get a look at a time capsule put to bed years ago. Looks like every things there. Looks like you could get in , start it up and drive away. Well, ok, maybe you'll have to negotiate an agreeable price. Probably replace those old worn out tires. Maybe do some other safety related chores, brakes, hoses, etc. Oh yeah, wash it off. Well, the paint ain't too bad. Ok, it's just worn off, all these years of rubbin', washin' waxin', you know. and maybe a little rust here and there, but hey, it's a badge of passage, a sign that this baby's been around for awhile. Let's love it for what it is. This one started out as a show car http://www.hotrod.com/cars/featured/hdrp-0704-1937-ford-patina-three-window/ Now of course there's the fake patina, the fake worn off shop truck lettering, the fake patina applied to a fiberglass body( Yes, it's been done). You decide.

Gotta love it. Now that's what I'm talkin' about John. and David, love those splits

Niko brings us the beauty of this board, love and learn. Ya just gotta love seeing builds like this. You just can't help but learn as you read through these threads. Thanks Niko, for making the board what it is.

Works of art.

using some of the old tooling ?

From the south west like La Bamba

One of the first rides in my '69 Charger, my young son, an ardent "Dukes" fan was scoping out the dash. "What are you looking for son?" "Which one of those buttons makes it pop a wheelie?"

FARM. State Farm.

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning.

But what about the "jr." I can't find anything anywhere on that.

BAMB! You nailed it Alan.
