Thanks, a guy has to do what he can do to preserve some of this vintage tin.... Heck, they quit making em!!!!! I've never been a "numbers matching" kind of guy and have always enjoyed picking and choosing a few parts from some of the leftovers from other projects and plain old parts cars pieces. Makes the whole build process a bit more interesting.

About 10 months ago I put up some pics of some random left over parts I had laying around and asked what folks thought should be done with them. Got a couple pages of suggestions, but truth be told, I already had something in mind before posting. I can't seem to find the old thread because of search limits to twenty pages, or it may have been one of the ones that just disappeared into the ether during one of the failures. Anyway, the first pic below is that previous one of the parts laid out, the next three are what has become of them. This is just a side line deal as the roadster in the background is the primary project here, so it will probably take a couple more years to become something.
