Hi Daniel! Thank you. I was in rock FM radio most of the 80's, and my station had some "meet and greet" with the band and winning listeners, so I suppose my friends in the record biz could arrange for me to have the Hornet autographed should the band come back in town. Who knows... I note you know rock music, cause Max Webster was a great Canadian rock band back then. I was friend with Kim Mitchel, the guitarist and singer in that same era. He even gave me a Gold record dedicated to me, that hangs in my model area. Nostalgia... "Paint by Max" refers to the way i signed my custom paint jobs starting in the late 60's, on 1/1 bikes, cars, and... custom vans! It took less space than "Paint by Claude Thibodeau" would have! LOL.

Hi Bruce! In 1976, a young dad wanted to trade his mint 70 Boss 302 for my freshly customized 73 Ranchero (my fourth restored car). He wanted 1000$ on top of my car. My dad would not lend me the money, rightfully guessing I would not drive the Boss during our harsh winters, and therefore would need a beater for the winter. And the poor thing probably would not start at minus 30, and that he would have to drive me to work at my job as a radio morning man at 5 am all too often. Plus the insurance would kill me with a monster like the Boss. Father knows best, but... Talk about a sore memory LOL! CT

Thanks Steve! I attended a model show this last weekend, and I saw many JOHAN kits for sale, which is quite unusual. The prices are way above inflation: your latest Eldo, in the 1970 variation, was offered at 150$. Bought one at the same show 5 years ago fo 60$. Goes to show. The most expensive of the lot were a 69 AMC The Machine, and a 68 Chrysler 300C coupe, at 250$ each. They are certainly on the list of endangered species.... CT
