This is gonna be fun, I can tell...

Great stuff BB.
I did a lot of models cars in the late 50's early 60's. You may inspire me to make a try at this. Then my favorite was AMT models.
You may inspire me to give it a try again. I need to pick a RoadRipper. Where's would i most likely find one, besides ebay?

Thanks Snoopy.
BB, you're right. I was being lazy, i coulda googled it. thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.
I've got both wallys and target not far from me, but i hate shopping even on a good day, probably won't make it in until the end of next week, when the crowds thin out a bit.

I really look forward to seeing the progress on this latest project of yours. Ever think of doing it as a side thing? People send you pics of their HHR and you copy it for them to a RR. i would sure be willing to pay for something like that. I know I don't have the skills/patience to pull it off!
BTW, mery Christmas to you and your family. Hope to see ya again sometime!
