I have used a good quality rag paper. It's more to scale and doesn't push the hood parts out so far. Just cut the hood in the appropriate places and then fold the paper length wise using the peek of the fold as the hing point. CA glue works to join the "hing" to the hood pieces. Trim to fit. you wont be opening and closing the hood that much so it WILL hold up. Wish I still had the model I did this on for some photos. Believe me, it does work.

One day in the parking lot at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson AZ

One of my letter carriers told me about this, when I worked at the Sun City AZ P.O. :

Ah Ha, we have talked about this before, http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49120

Did someone say IMC ?

Wonderful products which may or may not be found in Jo-Hans inventory

On the other shore he'd have to ride one of these

Gramps was lucky to come ashore in one of these

I think all of the first issue Revell Willy's kits have the grill.

Only the Early everything opens (doors, hood) Revell kit and the very old AMT flip front coup and pickup kits.

I'd bet we all have something to show. Let's see some Shelby memorabilia, models or what have you. Here's part of my research library: http://www.amazon.com/TOP-ELEVEN-COBRA-BOOKS/lm/R3HOPU136F8IRG/ref=cm_srch_res_rpli_alt_2

I think they did the Tiger also

" a thousand different versions of the same car " we ain't seen nottin' like this before. You ain't seein' all the parts fer th' trees. Open yer eyes, open yer mind, think of all the possibilitys. Roast some rats.

and the picture is so blurry we can't tell what it is.

Great idea. Public library's are open to this type of promotion, too. Those are nice models but I wonder if the selection will catch the interest of the group intended?

Lot's of cool parts.

I like it the best, but Steve's build sure looks good.

You da man, I bet you got more than any of us, after all, He who dies with the most toys wins.

> On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. > > 'One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me,' said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence > > Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery.

Started on cars in the early '60's in Tucson AZ. First car a Model A Ford. All my friends had hot rods,I remember a hot flathead '34 coupe, a '53 Studebaker with a sbc with six twos, a '34 twodoor sedan with a 303 Olds, and my two best friends both had '41 Fords with full race flathead Merc's.Another friend that always traded up started out with an orange '47 Ford coupe. He married Linda Ronstats sister. The odd man out had a '62 Corvette. One day my brother came home, yelling come quick, Dad found you a neat car. Turned out to be a "56 Chevy Bel-Air 265 Power Pac ( Four barrel, dual exhaust). First things first, get those full wheel covers off, paint the wheels black and a set of Baby Moons.My Dad was good at finding good stuff. He seemed to have a nack for what was hot. The last one he dug up for me was a cherry '62 SS Impala 327. Gotta say thanks Dad.
