George Bojaciuk Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 When I was still working in healthcare, I was on 3rd shift. Got a call to Peds to fix a faulty Croup Tent. As I was doing my documentation, I noticed the bevy of model cars on the nursing station counter. I asked the night nurse who they belonged to... she said one of the kids. That morning before I left, I stopped in and talked the the little guy...he must be 40 by now! Came in that night with a kit or two for him. He wouldn't go to sleep until he saw me! That being said...the nurse asked if I was interested in model cars. She said her son left a whole box of stuff after he moved out and would I be interested in it? I went over and briefly glanced at the box, it was huge. Asked what she wanted and she said $50. Handed her my money and took the box home. A few weeks later, I went thru the box.... OMG! Unbuilt Grumpy's Camaro...and a host of other rare kits that I'd been looking for. One box was a Camaro, but had written on it..."Pro Stock Vette". Guys that have been in my basement have told me it needed to be built! Years later, I find out that this model was started by a guy in our model club....I did offer it back to him, but he told me to finish it. As you can see, he did the hard parts!
Snake45 Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 There ya go--finish it up! And if you have all the stock '63 parts (chassis, engine, etc), you can use them to drag that resin '67 roadster across the finish line. Win-Win!
Fast Floyd 2 Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Cool Story!! You should get busy on the Vette. It looks great so far!!
