Thanks Daniel!  We both love early FEDs. After bailing out from Roger's other car, decided to do a 426 motor instead, with a full body though.The chassis is spot on. At least this small chassis issue was good!  lol.  Mike..

Dear Garry, so nice to read of praise, so much fun to build the 1:16 FEDs!  Just in this scale, gets difficult to hide mistakes. But yet so much fun to model these long cars of old. The colour...YES!  I love House of Kolors paint on bare brass. Sorry though, the nose shows some dust, now enclosed in a decent environment. Mike..

Dear Carl, thank you sincerely for your comment. I understand well. Fact is, being 73, with small issues, my modeling days are over. My hands shake. I know why. Throughout the years, you are the most decent person I've ever met, and I admire your own stamina. You have my utmost respect. You yourself have endured things, I'm slowly learning to even come close to your level.  Sure, I used to build decent brass cars, 11 of these, just I wish to openly acknowledge your presence. Thank you.
