TarheelRick Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Where have you kept this one, in a climate-controlled vault? That is an amazing looking survivor, the decals are still flat, the tires have not melted to the rims, and the paint looks flawless. Thanks for sharing it with us.

My wife made me felt "gloves" to transport all my model cars in during our many moves .............. they are also great at sealing out air and moisture while the cars are in their storage boxes........ took this one out a couple of years ago, cleaned it up with a soft paint brush, added some Goodyear decals to the tires and you see the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Do you ever bring any of these to the Clemmons' show? I have been there for the past few years trying to thin my stock down. Would really like to get with you this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really like to get with you this year.I haven't been to the Clemmons show in at least five years, if not more. I'm not even a member of CKM anymore. I now have a job that requires me to work evenings so I couldn't make the Tuesday night meetings. I took some models to one show, and took my 1:1 English Ford to another. Don't know if I'll make this year's show or not. However, I would love to meet you sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 That's another beauty from your collection! It's great to see these old survivors in this good shape, it looks like it was built yesterday! I just wish my builds will survive as well as this one. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some of the guys were talking about a really cool hot rod in the parking lot so I went out to have a look. When I saw it I recognized it from some build pictures on another forum website. That is one slick ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
