Greg (Afla) sent me a care package of what he calls "seconds", I got it today and all I have to say is if these are seconds I really need to order up some "firsts".
So, I'll go through what I got and try to convey to you guys what I got and offer up some pics of the more....interesting, cars.
Fords first; A very nice 1970 Ford Maverick, extremely crisp and well done, this is the best resin Maverick I've ever seen. I also got a early '50's woodie wagon that I'll be saving for a later project. I have some wood waterslide decals that I have set aside for it. There is a '69 Mustang notchback. I used to own one of these so it also it set aside in a safe place. There was a Big Fenders custom Ford pick up delivery that needs to have the hot water treatment to cure a minor warp but otherwise it's a nice looking truck. I think my second favorite is the '62 Falcon pick up, this will become a nice tow rig for a race team I plan to do. Others are a '56 convertible and a '60 Starliner wagon done as a sedan delivery. A close cousin to the Ford is the really nice Mad Max Falcon that I plan to dig the movie out the recreate 'ol Mel's car, complete down to the blower.
The Chevy's are a '56 drop top, a '57 Nomad draggin' wagon, and both a custom and stock late 40's 2-door.
Greg sent me two modified that I have plans for one of them, a very nice '66 Rambler American 2-door that I would love to see as the red, white and blue street rod that my sister used to have way back when. There's a convertible TR-6 (I believe), a Gremlin (extremely nice), an Alfa 2-door that I've never seen before, and two VERY interesting Karman Ghia cutoms. One of the KG's has a Porsche rear end like the Can-Am car. I need to find a head for the driver and this will be a project for a good friend in Washington State that I already owe a Ferrari to. Maybe I can trade for one of those legendary "Fun-Jet's I've been reading about...

I really want to vacuform some of these...Greg, you think it would be OK? I'll ship you off some of my bodies to see if they can be resin cast if you like. Imagine, a resin cast Odyssey...
