I may not know the names but many of the faces from the Toledo show I do know. I am glad we have a chance to see Ted now that he passed. What a nice man he was.

Looks great Tom.

Looks great

Nice work Lee. Looks better than the red or white I always see on these.

This is awesome, I love it.

I looks like the info was taken from here on the forum. A new section called forum finds. Congratulations

Looking good Pat.

Great color choice. Looks fantastic.

That is a great place to visit.

Thank you Greg.

Sad to hear this.

This looks fantastic! I had no idea Meng made this.

I went back and reread the listing. He (the original owner) did purchase the car from his fathers dealership with more miles than he was allowed to drive it. His words , "I got to order a 10,000 demo " so after his dad called for him to return the car they made a deal of 3,300 for the car already having 17,000 miles on it.

Just don't look in my stash. The last show I went to, in Detroit area I walked by a roadster in a box of kits. I stopped in my tracks when I seen the price tag of 10 bucks. Another kit that when it came out I thought I could always get more at the next show. Nope, they seemed to vaporize in thin air. LOL

Thank you for the pictures and Info James. I guess all of the over time this last year and a half will be put to a good use. The wallet is hurting already.

If you don't have the car in your name on a title Can you insure it? How does the interior look that bad from a car that sat inside? Resprayed here and there , so how many miles are really on this old 1/4 mile warrior? If the guy never put it in his name to avoid taxes and other costs how can you believe anything he says?

Isn't there a custom grill with square headlights for a tri 5 Chevy, or is that for a pickup?

This is looking nice Casey. I liked the other wheel wells better but it is your project, not mine. Even better you will finish it, unlike me. Can't wait for the chassis and power plant.

I like the Foose Truck and the Caddy model kits. Nice kits when a they are done and a good parts source for parts to improve older kits.

I sure hope we see that Rat Roadster out again. There were not many around after the first round of shows like the other 32 offerings. Looks like the other 32 roadster was offered in 1999, 2005 and 2005 as the good guys version. Those are also not an easy find anymore. Maybe the next round of open swap meet & shows will change this.

Most large big box store are like this. Timmy sits behind a desk and tells the everyone what goes where in every store. The only difference is, if it a right or left hand store.

Great sore of 32's there Bernard!

I would like to note that fishing line becomes smaller in diameter because of better tech. So if you are at a garage sale look for braided line there.

If you want to talk other fuel sources for Cars, Propane does not have the power of gas but has been and still is used for decades. In fact the paper company my brother worked for has used propane for over 30 years and still do. They just warm the trucks up on gas when loaded. Very clean engines inside when they give up the ghost. Many City owed cars over the years have been powered by naturel gas off and On for decades. The one thing that is in common with what we are able to have in a mass market cant be owned by us at home. So if you can fill your own fuel cell at home with a do it yourself kit sorry about your luck. Sorry if this is to close to the line of the forum.
