  1. Thank you for the pix. Very interesting. CT
  2. Hi Howard! Just like you, it IS on my bucket list. Planning for next year. Thanks for the pics, they are the more reasons to keep focusing on this dream. Long live the (wet?!) salt! CT
  3. Hi Tim! You lucky guy! A good friend has a 70 Challenger 440 6-pack (matching numbers) that I just finished the bodywork and primer on, and he told me he has a '90 MK7 LSC for sale... and the car has only 72000 kilos on it (about 40k miles)!!! My brother is looking at it, so I might be able to enjoy a ride soon, who knows? I had an 85 Turbo-coupe (manual) that was tha same pearlescent silvery-blue, a great shade, except for the disc-brake dust that plagued the trunk lid tail section with minuscule rust-spots in the clear coat. It took me a while to figure where it came from. Those "aerobirds" were cheating the wind all right... but the rear turbulence carried the brake dust in the wrong places. Oh well CT
  4. Hi Dave! Very interesting mix of parts. The rake is reminiscent of Tom Prufer's famous Cop Shop Coupe, built by Pete Eastwood way back then. Bravo! CT
  5. Hi Tim! Thank you for the extensive "report". It goes to show that your 1/1 scale career was as impressive as your 1/24 one! As an old Ford guy, that Mark VIII in candy red would do just fine. I had 3 Contours (95, 96 and 95 again...), but not the SVT variety as the red one you posted. It was a vigourous car with the V6, and I can only imagine the SVT version... A neighbour had a "turquoise" 70 mach 1, just like the one in your report. All the teens on my street were dreaming about such a car. Nostalgia... CT
  6. Hi Dan! Thank you so much for your reply. And judging from the quality of finishes on the few pics you posted, I WILL definitely check the whole gallery on you Facebook page. The show and models are obviously world class. Bravo! CT
