    Steve.... Very nice...! I have built mint in box old rare kits before. If they are damaged I do the same thing i do with damaged promos if they cant be repaired...build them into something else or another version of one. I have restored some real basket cases though...I just cant let them die...LOL..

    Ace....I once owned a 70 4 door HT one too was loaded though...nice car. Id like to convert the 70 kit into a sport coupe version with the slanted rear glass like a fastback.

    Some promos have a plastic,metal,and friction chassis and you do have to be very careful what you use to strip them with....I striped a 60 Ford HT once the plastic cracked and warped badly ruined it. The older promos had a strange weak plastic that was known to warp and get very brittle...shame. I am a nut about them.

    Welcome Steven...! I like a bunch of different stuff myself...cars-2door,4door,wagons,vans,pickups,campers,trailers,big trucks,motorhomes,farm and construction related,pleasure and speed boats,scale figures,diorama....factory stock or a version of, custom, showrods,...even some large scale stuff. I mostly like the 60s to mid 80s body styles also into promos and restorations.

    Welcome George..! One nice thing about building models is we get to make replicas of the cars/trucks we would have loved to have owned...and the ones that got away we did own.
