Certainly something out of the ordornary ...........

Comparing Jimmy's work to what he passed off as work ten years ago isn't exactly fair . I remember the Resin Blobs that he an Testors had as HSO deals , Frankenstude, and a Chevrolet Astro van among the offerings . I would say what I've bought with the exception of a Batman / Futura have been pretty decent pieces . I wish he would have included a few minor missing details on his 55-57 Chevrolet Surburbans / panel deliveries though . Ed Shaver

WOW.............. yeah wow ! I thought for a minute , I was looking at a phoro of hte REAL Deora . Then I realized this is FINIALLY an accurate replicia of the Butchered kit A M T handed us back in 1967. I wish Larry Alaxander were still with us today . I bet he wouldda been darn proud of what you did to honor him !!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Yep, had several of dem Revenue enhancement eengineers a watchin me commin down I-64 into Norfolk............... Ed Shaver

Scale-master, I wouldn't consider buying one used years from now either . I had a 69 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with more personality in the Cowl area than both these rides had all over ! Ed Shaver

Rick, on a forum called The H. A. M. B , there is a thread called "Vintage Shots From Days Gone By ". In it , there contains about 2,900 comments , pictures , diagrams from America and beyond . I recall seeing Meeterior Bodied equipment in several occasions . As to what specific pages sir , Uh I can't remember . Ed Shaver

Stuart, do you want a Hyrdaulic engine crane , an "A " Frame with a Chain fall of a simple work stand . I can help wih any one of the above ...... Ed Shaver

Does anyone know how much would be involved into converting it into a U. S type trailer ? Ed Shaver

"RESPECT THE VAN " ............................ Ed Shaver

Earle , I would say ya done good . The state police here round Richmond generally use the Ford Crown Victorias . Some use the Chargers now too. Generally , the Impallas saw wide useage in the Virginia Beach and surrounding areas off I-64. Ed Shaver

Hey Thor , ME TOO ! Great work .............. Ed Shaver

Steve , I will when mine come in ............... Ed Shaver

Ya'all need to try buying a can of spray paint in most metropolitan areas of California . Darn near need a perscription from a California doctor ............... Ed Shaver

You betcha , sittin right up there holdin a java ! Ed Shaver LONG LIVE SOUTHERN VAN COUNCIL MEMBERS - WHERE EVER YOU ARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OH Scrubba sez,He loves ya too

Even at "Close out " prices , I could never ever afford a Mint built car................. Ed Shaver

Rob , years ago, and I mean YEARS ago, I saw a guy build a Tow truck out of sprues , well the crane was anyway. I think he used a 61 Chevrolet Apachie to do the cab as the Ford depicted a Unitized body and bed . That was EONS ago as Evergreen and Plastruct came to our rescue . The time you spend sanding out a sprue could be simplified using the Aftermarket tubes and rods . I't s you're call on this one ............. Ed Shaver

Hope to see everyone there !!!!!!!!!

J C Witney used to sell these caps back in the day too.................... Anybody got a set for me ? Ed Shaver

I too was very suprised when this car went to auction and Mr. Bortz didn't get it . I'm also suprised as to why the Pontiac Club de Mer clone , built by my friend Marty Martinio wasn'r snapped up by Joe also. The Club de Mer clone sold again recently for nearly three times what it auctioned for back in 2009. Maybe I really should hhave continued the work I was doing in building a clone of the L'Universalle van back in 1978.............. model - 125th scale of the 1955 G M C L' Universalle Ed Shaver

Desisions , desisions ................. now I have to decide how I'll go here . Ed Shaver
