Cranky, I'd be happy too. Maybe there will be a show in the Orlando area next year as my brother is an I T guy for Disney . I can visit the Monorail and do a show too............ Ed Shaver

Now was this a result of a spare Toronado laying about ? Ed Shaver

Tom , great build . You get my vote cause you built "OUTSIDE " of the box . No pun intended too. Ed Shaver

Cranky, heck, I'll buy one as they were at least unique in their engineering . Then too, I think one would look stunning within one of my service station dioramas . Then too, I always wanted a Corvair van too........... Ed Shaver

Ken, I must agree with ya sir . Of all the useless ways to mis -use a tool that abortion , uh Van is simply a total waste of energy . They could have simply waited a month, had a lunch actually had a meeting to rationally discuss which kits might benefit from the new tires . To re- issue the Barnabass van, is ...................... Now as for me buying the new parts pack , yes . Soon as I can get back out of the hospital again .............. Ed Shaver

Cranky, uh so do I !!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Cranky, I'm actually surprised as to why the Model companies , or whats left of them haven't seen fit to offer a couple of Re- issues of at least the Ford and the older Camper version of the Chevrolet . Shoot, aside from the Whacked - out era in which they came . the dreadful automobiles that were on the road were certainly by no means deserving of being made into plastic kits. For example, M P C's Monza or A M T's Vega kits . I'll admit , the sales of these kits today might be not in the top ten as say another 57 Chevrolet . Still, the tools have more or less been paid for .The interest is there as I too have noticed Ford Vans in particular always getting a decent price . Hey, go to the Van sites and price out a 1-1 van that relatively "RUST Free " , complete and re- build able Besides , I was a manufacturer of Custom and Recreational vehicle accessories in the seventies Having some of these kits available to me again would be a welcome sight . Ed Shaver.

Cranky , Car Modeler was the "Gold Standard" in which ALL Model publications SHOULD be , including ............. Ed Shaver

Mostly, ya won't generally see a reply from me either way UNLESS....................... I generally reply to topics that I actually have a knowlege of , say filling stations . Even then, if it's a car I have a solid working knowlege of and I can offer some friendly advice , I do . If it's a car/ truck I have a working knowlege of when it's completed , I might , but only if it NAILS ALL THE DETAILS ............ With that folks , I'm headed back to my other duties . Don't look for "False accolades outta yers truly ". Ed Shaver

Mike , I probably have some ole Jewelery chain laying around ............. Ed Shaver

What so mpressed me about this car was the "Over- the Top " engineering " that was in this car. I worked on several of these cars when they were fairly new . . I saw steering boxes , suspension and a transfer case that was well excicuted and designened to withstand much more than the 455 would ever produce . Ed Shaver

Tom, the smaller "Clark on the right is the closest to the Font you need . Yes , the 100 is larger than the word Super . Oh , what Mike sent you IS VERY TYPICAL of what a Clark station need to look like . Look , If you want , I can send a P- M with my personal E-mail and re send the Fotki pictures off that to you . Send me a P-M with a E-mail to you . Ed Shaver
