I love cars as much as the next guy but have not really been into Diecast. Now with my Father-In-Laws passing I have inherited almost 300. Some are really nice, brands like Maisto, Motor Max, Muscle Machines, Franklin Mint and more. It is a bit overwhelming. Im going through them, None in boxes...

Tom Petty sang," You never slow down, you never grow old!" I believe that to be true. I for one am not going to stop building and dreaming of more cars.

Those look really awesome. Love to know your technique. BTW just saw some lenses on Ebay for $120 each.

Hello Lee, Is this the interior piece for a front fender?.

Good Thinking. IM a member of Slant.ORG, I reach out to the good folks over there.

Are Cross Members available should I need to replace it?

So Im going through the 62 Lancer and the floors are real rusty. I want to make sure that the Torsion bars will be easy to service and that the mounts are not damaged. Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this, what to look for?

Cars that get your patented pristine attention will come out better than factory appearance. Those of us that follow you appreciate your documentation and unreal dedication to the process of getting cars perfect! When I grow up I want to be like YOU Cuz!

Hello Im looking for 60-62 Valiant or 61-62 Lancer windwing rubber seal (gaskets) needed. Especially passenger side.

would love to track that odd one down

I will send you a message. Interested in the Valiant.

If you have a 62 Lancer sedan or wagon with most of its parts, Im restoring a 62 Wagon with few of its parts. Would love a near complete (doesn't have to be running) titled car. But as for parts here is my short list, don't laugh: 1. floors 2. flat windows 3. front windshield and gasket 4...

Im dumb enough to try to restore that one!

For my Wagon rear Cargo windows I am hoping to achieve it all, sealing , longevity and appearance. If not I am prepared to cut sheet metal, bend it and go Panel-Wagon.
