I took detailed pictures of my inspection stampings and also cut some others out from my parts cars. I took them to the local printing store and they are making me rubber stamps so I can duplicate them. The top corner of the O for OK is slightly off for the / style but I am not going to make them redo it. Just need to find the proper shade of yellow now.

This is what mine did look like. I will fix them

That is what mine looked like till I messed them up. I was not going to paint them at all but made the wrong choice. Now I have to redo them. I think I have three others somewhere.

Here is my TRF bracket clips original paint.

The body guy just sent me a picture. Looks like he is making headway.

Some other parts I have ready. Just noticed I put the clips on the TRF bottle holder upside down, lol. Now I will have scratches in the paint taking them off. The color of the clips were a red oxide color and I want to repaint those anyway.

He said he is adjusting to the new booth…[Read more]

Unfortunately, the son also had 2 4 speed cars sitting outside in the weeds with rust. This being Calif he figured no one would want them and sent them to the crusher before we got there to transport the other cars!

Nice !

That Jetfire hood was still on the wagon when I bought it, but he told me he was going to keep it and swap a normal hood back onto the wagon. I was OK with that.

My friend bought 4 cars, station wagon which I believe Joe bought, two convertibles one of which I bought, and a Jetfire which he is restoring for one of the members here.

There was also a Cutlass jet aircraft that the Navy used as well as an xF-85 Goblin parasite jet aircraft that was launched from a B-29.
