I have another "quick" project under way!! About 7 years ago, I went on a (as RallyMaster Dave would say: "Manic Mission") to get every old 1/8 Triumph model that Revell produced from 1964 thru 1972 plus some. Through all this I scored all of 'em, and several extras. As for the 1964 Triumph Custom Show Bike, for some reason (the manic part) I ended up with 12!! 5 were mint, unbuilt, and the rest were either builts or started. Over the last few years I have disassembled all these, stripped any paint, repaired anything that needed be, and replaced any missing pieces from two of the kits used for parts. Sooooo, I want to assemble one of these kits to see how they go together, then I'm sending some of the chrome trees off to be plated so I can do a few nice customs. I think a neat bobber is in the making on this one!!!

I'm afraid to tackle a bike. Everyone I ever tried turned into a mangled mess of glue snot
