WOW!!! What a scene Dave. It would be cool if Round 2 did finish what Greczula started years ago, and brought back the final two. It's great to see them all together too. I have never seen the Cobra chopper built until now. Bravo Brutha!!!

Zinger are you saying that you designed the kits?

YES, BUILDS I DID FOR MODEL CONTESTS AT THE TIME AND MPC SAW AND LIKED THEM AND PAID ME FOR THEIR USE OF THE DESIGNS. NEVER GAVE ME ANY CREDIT ON THE "KITS". THEY "TOURED" AND BROKE (CRACKED THE PAINT, AS SHOWN) THE LAST TRIKE, THE "TARANTULA TRIKE". IT WON BEST IN SHOW AT DETROIT IN 1970. (COVER CAR MODEL 1971)

THANKS, I ALSO STILL HAVE BOTH OF THOSE CUSTOM T'S AND AFTER 40 YEARS THEY STILL LOOK THE SAME. As I recall Denny, there was an offer to send in a buck for patterns to recreate those bodies. Have any of those left? I've been a fan of your stuff for as long as they've been around. Both you and Ira influenced a lot of builders to try new things

If anyone is interested , The Auto World Store has AMT's Royal Rail on sale for $4.99 each ! Shipping is $9.00 but that's still less than the $16.99 sale price at PlasticModels.com
