Great looking color and I like how you used all of the later Chrysler parts especially the Hemi engine. You mentioned the resin body and I was wondering about the source .

Then it’s an R&R Resin. Mighty Mouse was Ray’s EBay seller, then he died and his wife continued to sell hence the Ms Mighty Mouse.

Ray Parsons was a character. Every time you saw him at a show he was grumpy and said, “This is the last year I’m doing this!”  But he said that every year!

He never got along with computers and e-commerce so he found a friend who sold for him on eBay and did a pretty good volume... more than Ray sold going to shows!

One day at NNL East, Ray was not registered as a vendor and he comes strolling up to the admission tables. He’s smiling ear to ear and declares he’s coming to the show just visiting folks. He has an arm full of R&R kits that he gives us as door prizes. 

He told me that life was good! He had the eBay seller so he didn’t have to truck it to shows anymore, and that was the part of the business he hated! He said he loved to work in his shop so he’d pour resin as long as he could.

Unfortunately that was the last time I saw him. He died later that year. Too bad he discovered the secret to happiness too late!

That looks really nice! Wouldn't mind using that colour on my next '62 Buick Electra build.

That is a beautiful model.

If I remember correctly he used to ship all of his selling stock, in advance, in steamer trunks so he didn't have to carry anything with him.

I never heard that one!  In the weeks before NNL East I received a load of stuff from vendors but nothing from Ray!

Nice work, Glen!

Ray always came to Copperstate Model Car Championship, grumbling and grumping about how it was too hot to bother with and it was the last time he was going to come. Every year he said that. Then he'd come the next year and say it again!
