    Ken, Hi,no nothing in Taupo, Had an uncle in Morrinsville in partnership in a garage though, Ball & Hirst, you may recall them, uncle contracted polio as a child & spent his life in leg irons but boy could he still get over, under & around cars, neat guy & did some great restorations, All the best for the festive season Ken.

    Thanks Kevin,
    When was your uncle in Morrinsville ?
    I know some wonderful people who have suffered with polio and admire what they can still achieve in life.

    Roger D and no 1/25's under my bed do have a couple of Drag wheels though from unmade 1939 Chev Convertibles ' still in the boxes from the 1970's with the stovebolt six, make them as standard or modified !! Revell I think.

    Make them '37 Chevs, got them out recently one made as a bit of a racer with the twin carb stovebolt, the other unmade, also have a Willys flip front Gasser, also built with a huge V8 - actually went out and bought glue and some paint, am going to restore the built ones first, [ made them first in 1971 as a 20 something, had just got married and a mate married around the same time both like kitsets, the Chevs are AMT and were made in NZ, must have imported the mould from the USA ] then see if I want to do the new one plus a couple of 1990 NA model MX5's, was going to one original and one, with a V8, from a box of bits I have .. and it is still 2016 [ not 2106 ]..

    ** Update July 2019 - still talking / thinking about the re-build and build -left the glue and paint in Australia - have to buy some more - Now back on the bucket list !!
