bobss396 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 This has kicking around since possibly 2008. I had chopped the body, Norm Veber was interested in casting it, but it took me forever. I changed the Hemi for a Chevy 409. I have a slew of parts squirreld away. I'm probably sticking with the kit suspension pieces. I have no idea where the bomber seats came from. Tires are from Modelhaus. 20240103_131804.mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would always seek him out at shows. I also picked up lots he had for the Revell '49 Mercury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customline Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I like the engine choice, Bob, and that's a really nice chop on a 5W. Will this build be an era-accurate example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few of his parts that I’ve found at shows and on eBay, but not nearly as many as I’d like…saving a bunch of them for a special project at some point!
