good show bob!

i posted on my blog a pic of the 1/32 valence alongside a ruler, if you want to use as a template to make your own as an interim, until you find an original - in the cox cheetah section

good stuff - take care, Ron

Thanks Ron, I'll cobble together a front valance at some point. I think it will be a "sympathetic restoration" while the red 1/24 will get a complete repaint and detailing of the interior. The exterior is covered with Gloscote which has yellowed slightly over the decades...so it's undecided what I'll do with it. I might leave it and match the hood decal with the others. The main thing is that the running gear is all there and in good shape. I'm becoming more partial to the aged look...although I love Jean-Michel Pilot's Cox 1/24 restorations: http://slotblog.net/index.php?showtopic=12...rt=#entry147972.

cheers,
Bob
