    You back in town or are you still up in snow country? I still have a couple of the comets in 1:24 sitting here for you if you want them.

    I have talked to this guy several times, and helped direct him to where he can get parts. he patched the floors, had a cracked windshield(but has a replacement) , has a jegs fuel cell in the trunk, rebuilt tranny, and I think a 355 rear end, new intake and holley carb..just those parts are worth the 600 bucks. I am going to have to have a garage sale before long.

    Went to PAP yesterday to look at the 76 2door they got in monday...somebody need parts worst than me...they took a sawsall to the front end to get the disc brakes and the rear....buckets were gone too....the interior was RED. the floors were in good shape but the doors , hood and fenders were rusted out. I pulled lights, side vent seals and a few other small parts.

    I am still in snow country (Nebraska) but should be leaving by the week end. I will come by and see you and to get the models. The car sounds like a good buy whoever gets it.

    I tried but it looks like it is gone...he never called me back and never answered his phone. I ran by his house and it wasnt parked where it was.....oh well there will be another one day.
