No...I think the guy at work got it off of EBAY?

The more I look at it...the more I like it!

Bruce, That's funny! It reminds me of that Napa commercial with Michael Waltrip and the fan has the two die cast cars that are destroyed, one completely and he says "just sign the bigger piece" classic. It looks realistic.

You really had us going there for a minute. I almost thought someone gave the Chevelle a knockout.

Pretty cool Bruce. I may have to build a Corvair like that when I get enough time.. The rust really looks real!!!!! With that much rust, it rivals a Corvair!!!!
Sorry Kasey

Cool model Bruce - It's got to give you the cold sweats sometimes when you look at it!
Now you'll need an after model.
I've seen cars from the east end of the island that look like that.
One time a friend and I were going to look at an El Camino that was just a couple years old and pretty cheap. The car was parked faced out in the driveway in front of the house. As we approached it, it looked pretty good until we got to the back. The owner was a clammer who would carry his catch in wire baskets in the bed. The bed was constantly soaked in sea water, what was left was paper thin and the frame was rotting through!
