    I've got one of the issues of the '67 Chevelle, still unbuilt. I saw that pic of the Safari over in the HAMB thread and it triggered my memory. I had one of those, too. Had a working tailgate (bottom half) IIRC...... I think it may have got squished underneath my dad's car tire.......

    About 16 years ago I suffered a divorce from the Ex and was Stuck living in cramped quarters away from my stored model supplies.
    Well, Lindberg had just released their new model car kit of a 1953 Ford Victoria and I thought it made a perfect basis for a Country Squire. Back then all models were based on the same wheel base so.... with a bit of evergreen plastic and lots of time on my hands I modified that Hardtop into a proper wagon. Once the body was done I moved on to other living quarters and other projects. But... a few years later I sent the body to Jimmy Flintstone studios and he started casting the body in resin.

    For my efforts I received two beautiful resin cast bodies. But so far I have yet to finish that project.

    But... found this picture on eBay of one that a guy built and sold for a sweet price.
