Matt, here locally, ( Richmond Virginia ) I have personally fought long and hard as to a decent class break down concerning cars . Is especially evident when my FORMER I P M S club was about to host it's first Old Dominion Open back in the l;ate 1980's . Look, this club made no bones about what it stood for at that time , W W II Aircraft ! Meanwhile , Gasoline pump model builders such as myself had no where to go but to N N L's and a paltry few automobile themed events . While the Richmond Virginia chapter has made great strides in automobile judging, they still need to vastly improve upon several other NON -W W II Classes . Hopefully now , they will cause I'm sure my comments will come back upon me as they usually do ! Ed Shaver

Cranky, the roof IS Chopped , trust me . I was building one of these cars for a solid year ! Ed Shaver

When I can figure out how to un -chop this car, I'm in for two of them . I want one as a car I built for a former employer years ago with a 389 Pontiac engine in it . The other of course will be a stock Flat headed ride ............ Ed Shaver

Darin, uh have you thought of visiting a boat repair shop ? This time of year, boaters are generally doing this sort of thing if you're in the warmer climates . If you're in the far North, maybe not .I was in this business for awhile doing molds and it's the off season when I did Fiberglass repairs . Ed Shaver

I was a part of the Flood in Hurricane Agnes in 1973. I too put everything on the second and third floor of a very old building I was in . The water went PAST the roof . We wern't allowed in for ten days . Even then, there was nothing to salvage . Thats where I lost my collection of models dating from 1959-1970. They vanished out down the James River . Ed Shaver

Can you say Five minute Spark Plug change ...................... I can say Five minute spark plug change . I know caus I own a Flat head !!!!!! Ed Shaver

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHgly.................. Ed Shaver

Dang shame things had to come to this . Thats as much comment as I will share . Ed Shaver

Sam, I'm old enough to remember such Fairs . Sometime in the future , Check out Field Day of the Past . It's just such an exhibition of steam industrial engines , road building machinery, antique tractors , and music . I think you can Google Field Day of the past for dates and lodging . Very nice diorama ! Ed Shaver

Nown Harry, go tell all that to our esteemed Vice President , Smokin Joe Biden ! Ed Shaver

Looks like Walter Teauge , Texaco architect was sitting alongside of you when you were constructing the building . That will definitely be a proud piece on completion . Ed Shaver

Skip, does this mean ALL Hobby town franchises participate ? Ed Shaver

The hubcaps in question were found on A M T annuals back in 1960-2and Jo-han kits right up to 1965. Modelhaus is about the only place you may find what you need these days ............ Ed Shaver

Very attractive wheel , now where are the other three ? Ed Shaver

Collectable Automobile has done a great article on the 46-8 Ford Sportsman Convertibles in their October 2011 issue . I know the Revell kit is a Coupe . Still, it gives excellent references to doing a rare and desirable car............. Ed Shaver
