I should have asked: Are they still in business? That Olds is the only car available. To me it seems that they are selling off most of their unsold inventory.

I threw a lot of parts box stuff at this car. Catalina custom seats,1959 Cadillac dash, steering wheel, spotlights, mirrors, gas cap, scratch taillights, Camaro wheels and tires, 1959 Imperial side scoops and exhaust pipes. Grille, headlights, body, roofs, and windshield frame are the only kit parts. The engine is the chrome one from the 1957 T-Bird. Base paint is White Lighting and acrylics for the fades. This build took me about 9 months on and off. Thanks for looking! Mike

I checked my mixer it has 1 AA battery. You are right if these things were spontaneously catching on fire, it would have been all over the place -

I have the Micro Mark one for a long time no problems. Could the mixer have Lithium batteries? -

My dad helped me build a custom 26in Raleigh custom. The frame was Metal Flake Blue, a welded extension fork, a 16in ? front wheel and tire, a fat whitewall rear tire, a Blue Metal Flake banana seat, a sissy bar, Angel Wing handle bar, and a 52 teeth front sprocket. Definatly a 1 of 1. Mike PM me if you want to read my Mr.Norm's stories.

Great build. Lots of memories I grew up in the Grand and Spaulding neighborhood. Every Saturday a couple of us would ride our bikes to Mr. Norms. Thanks Mike

Matija My dad left me a huge rubber made container of stamps. The stamp dealer told me that only the oldest and full sheets are the ones that bring any type of money. US stamps are were and are printed in the millions. I spent a month going through some of his stuff I found nothing significant. Hate to say it but those stamps are worth maybe face value. Good luck Mike
