John, you mentioned this in a recent post so I just had to go and dig it up. ;D

A few years back, I acquired this cool Pinto body from John2 in a trade for something; I do not recall what.  I remember thinking "He did such a great job with the decals, painting and hand-lettering, I just have to build under and around it." 

I just happened to have a half can of Testor's blue spray so I was able to match a spare Slammer hood to the body.  The rest came together very nicely if I do recall.

Of course once it was done I just had to surprise John and mail it to him.  ;D







Thanks for looking...

 :)  Thanks to all.  My favorite part of building is to paint bodies, and then decal and try to hand letter them.  I had done that just playing with the body, and had no other parts to a model.   So, I sent it to Bill, he built it, and then sent it back. 

As I recall, from a few years back, I then sent him in trade one of my modifieds.  And if I can learn Flicker, which I hope is soon, I will find pictures of that one, and show you all.
