They’re all wonderful and my favourite is the Continental. It is regal.

The surprising thing is I found the Continentals at Dollar Tree. Like 7! Walmart and Target had zilch.

Nice! Got the True Romance Eldo but like the leopard print.

I actually got three. Keeping one unaltered. The other I'm thinking of doing in metallic navy blue with blue and white interior.

You could do an Issac Hayes! Peacock blue!

Tamiya and Mr. Color paints work better than Testors, and they dry to the touch in like 15 minutes.

That Kingswood is gorgeous! I wish they still made wagons like that...

Tom the CLC Grand National is in two weeks, there are going to be full size cars there that you can actually drive. 🤣🤣🤣

Seriously, hope you can make it. Procedures changed this year Judging is Friday and Saturday is just dedicated to having a great show and awards dinner Saturday night. It’s pretty much a straight shot east from the Twin Cities to Gettysburg and Ronda needs the exercise. So hope to see you there.

These are amazing, and more than just enjoying the result, I enjoy the sense of joy you radiate doing this kind of thing. What a great hobby.

You need to make a your tube channel where you show the process. I watch a couple of different ones where they restore Dinky and Matchbox cars and it is fascinating. They don't even talk during it, just show the process and use the occasional subtitle.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the Continental, didn't realize they made that. Your Continental really pops with the red dash and additional chrome trim.

That Jag is lovely, but like unsafe release, the Continental is probably my favorite. I'll have the Goldfinger theme in my head the rest of the day.
