Yep its the old A M T circa 1961-2 Buick Special and then 1963 Chevrolet Nova wagon trailer we all adored back in the day. Scott, AKA Capt Bondo extrtoidinaire sent me some plans last year . Anyway , for an up comming service station thats yet to be done I did the trailer using the patterns he sent . If it's too dark I'll re- shot this turkey and re- post it . Ed Shaver

see post ubove , sorry , Ed Shaver

Very realistic work sir . I can see some real talent there , keep up the nice work ! Ed Shaver

Ron , nice to see that you're paying attention to some of the advice I'm trying to pass along . I looked at the lift very closely I might add. Well done ! I think you have captured the essesence of a " Teauge " station very nicely . Ed Shaver

That Halibrand Rear looks very nice as well . I bet that is a good selling item too ! Ed Shaver

Hey gang , I may or may not have seen this posted but a product called Goof Off is always nearby me . I buy the lighterfluid size cans at Home Depot and Lowes hardware to get rid of acrylic paints that somhow embed themselves in brushes . Soaking a brush about 30 seconds generally does the trick . It also works welll as a cleaning agent in air brushes too. Ed Shaver

It's Mr Obsessives birthday so................. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! Hope it's a great one man ! Ed Shaver

Len , to me both ya'all are straight up people . Ive had P- M 's with both of you and I would'nt hesitate to help either of you folks out again . Ed Shaver

In the 1970's , I was a manufacturer of Custom Van accessories . These trade shows allowed us the manufacturers to actuallly greet and lobby wholesale distributors and some invited guests as a result . Allowing the print media was also important as they themselves could be swayed to look at your products and write a favorabile review . The internet today is simply an end means to spread the " Print Reviews " around electronicly . Now lets see whats new for 2010 ! Ed Shaver

I think you all should consider a Country squire for a runer up car . I bet they would sell well . Ed Shaver

Sam , thats exactly why I'm doing many of these stations ! Too much of what made America has gone GENERIC ! Remember the Triangle Filling station ? Well that was a prototype for Pure Oil in Chicago . It was also a unique way to get gasoline stations iinto residential ares that would't allow the other non conforming stations to be built as well .......... Ed Shaver

Ah yes , it was an attractive car , no doubt ! I had a Delta 88 Convertable myself . I really shoud have done a full restoration on it but there was a serious lack and still are no avalibile replacement parts for these cars . Cutlass parts on the other hand are readily avalible . I think both cars were well built and given the chance , I'd buy either one today . Ed Shaver

Calling Misters Alfred Sloan , Bill Mitchell, and Harley Earl to the front ! Ed Shaver

What is the website again for computer challenged people like me ? Ed Shaver

I do so hope that your eyesight is wayy better than mine . I do good to work in 1-35thscale on some jobs . Ed Shaver

Thankya .............. thankya veeerry muchhhhhhhhhhh ............ E d Shaver

SHhhhhhhhhhhh ............... George don't tell anybody , but Chock Fulla Nuts coffee is my meds ! Ed Shaver

Ken, I cant really say any one automobile really inspired me to do models .......... Actually it were several cars. Take for example , the Futuresta from Daryl Starbird on the cover of Car Craft Magazine - June 1963 , Bill Cusenberry's Shillouette , the 1967 Impala , The beautiful 66 Bonniville , the sinister 53 Studebaker , The grace of a 1932 Caddillac V-16 ! Any of these fine automobilles were to me true pieces of artistic expression . I wanted to share in that experence and to do so , I built the model . Ed Shaver

Do you know I had to make two pots of coffee to make all those little oil cans and then paint ever last one to match ? An George 53 sez I need meds , HUMPH .......... Ed Shaver

Im still working on several things like the pumps and the lot but it will get done , I promise ! Ed Shaver

The custom work sort of reminds me of some of the early Alexander Bros work . I'm impressed with what you have presented thus far ! Ed Shaver

My kinda ride , got fins , got rear wheel drive , gotta Continental kit , an it's at least twenty feet long ! Whee ! Ed Shaver

Gee, a 1936 Dodge truck full of Hanover county vegetables would look so very period at the Amoco Projek Diorama , thanks for the additional posts Tom !! Ed Shaver

Tom , do you do this casting ? Does it have a chassis avalible , an engine , an interior , what besides a grille ? Inquireing model builders especially builders that build service trucks , and period pieces for Dioramas want to know ........... Ed Shaver

If you had told him it was near Coinover N C , he still would't have known where de heck it was . Shoot , all you had was Statesville and Charlotte was 90 minutes south , so go figgure ............. Ed Shaver
