I remember when Mercury dealers were blowing new Panteras out for $7500.

1962.

Black-on black 58 Chevy Impala.

Syclone.

Usually on those the stereo is louder than the bike.

If I get a chance to take any. I'm usually pretty busy running the show; doing registration, running the raffle and handing out awards. We are hoping that a certain model magazine will send someone out to photograph the show.

It's only a week away!

Nothing today. Hanging on to cash in case I find some interesting stuff at the Spirit of Speed show in Pomona next week.

LSA is not a Northstar.

AMT 68s. And the Revell 71 Mustang.

The doors were open for ventilation.

I remember seeing a Gullwing driving down Ventura Blvd many years ago with the doors open. It was a hot day.

The actual turn signal lever shaft is about 1/4" thick, a little smaller than a pencil. A straight pin, with a scratchbuilt tip, would probably serve well as a scale turn signal lever.

We will have a good number of vendors at the show. Almost sold out! Our raffle will include many model kits, paint from Scalefinishes, items from Iceman Collections and gift cards from Burbank's House of Hobbies.

When you consider that the tooling for the currently available 67 and 68 Mustang (Shelby) kits were designed many years apart, the choice of a base kit for this conversion is obvious.
