Got some bumpers and lights for the '62 Fury from Modelhaus. Modelhaus used the Jo-Han kit for their masters but with some hacking on the rear panel and radiator support they will work.

You're quite right ....... don't know where my mind was ......... probably thinking about Jim's son Mike ........ of course it was Joe Reath ..........
Just built this 56 ford. Chopped it and dropped it. Built in 1/87 scale. Also built these 2 RatRods. Both in 1/87 scale.
