[Mr. Metallic]

One of my favorite movies, and I love Falcons. Nice rescue.

I love how you referred to the worn off chrome as patina?.

Cool build - I think every one of the promos that is not in a box looks just like that.  Was missing a body for my Craftsman, stalked Falcon auctions for a few years and dang if they were not all dredged from a sandbox or worse.  Sure would be great if the 3D universe could scan some of these fragile bits, they have the market to themselves with Don's tooling retired.

Nice save on a sad promo. I love the 63 falcon convertible but haven’t seen a kit and most promos I see just seem to high to rip apart and build.

It’s already been said Bill but I have to echo … What a wonderful, save man!

I wouldn't be surprised to see someone take up that mantle very soon!

I hear you, it took a long time before I found one that wasn't priced so high that I automatically balked at it!
