need some Kleenex

Thank you Steve. We try harder... CT

Thank you Brian! CT

so much pollen

Hi Patrick! Very unique subject. I had 3 1/1 Merkur XR4Ti in the late 80's ( the north-american Sierra), and I loved them. If I may: I'm puzzled by the shape of the front wheels... They seem to be very high offset. Was-it for cooling purpose? Just curious... CT

Hi Sir! Verrrrrry nice, and perfectly balanced. It should do well at GSL. Bravo! CT

Thank you Matthew! CT

Hi Mike! Very clever, bravo! CT

reduce their pomposity

Hi Mike! Thank you for the compliment, much appreciated. CT

those are costly...

Thank you Bob! Another great idea from the mind of designer Steve Stanford! CT

Thank you Craig! CT

Thank you Larry, happy you like it! CT

Hi Francis! Thank you. If there's one person who I tought might notice that... It's YOU! The unit is out of a 68 Charger kit, and was just the right width. Of course, a 9" Ford would have been more "politically correct", but as you know, I like to scramble eggs once in a while! LOL. CT

Hi! Well, it confirms my perception. Breathtaking work, bravo! CT

need a divorce

Thank you Oliver! To your point: the 68/69 Tbird is very rare indeed. Almost impossible to find as an annual kit. However, this very body came from the Allison engined funny-car that Model King (AMT) reissued a few years ago. I was fortunate to find one at 30$! So.... swap the roof from the 71 Bird of paradise recently issued kit, and voilà! CT

might end badly...

Thank you Ray. Happy to hear from you! CT

Thank you Glen! CT

Hi Howard! Thanks for the pics. Mucho quality here! CT

Hi Greg! Thank you for the comments. I'd like to have a patent on those, but alas, I thing they are too "generic" to merit one. However, they allow for the engine compartment to be seen without having the view blocked by the hood. CT

Hi Sir! Thank you for the report. It appears that the science of buiding unique bases (or pedestals) for models is an art form in your neck of the woods. Impressive! CT

Thank you Dennis! CT
