The open house at GMP was excellent, Bob cline, Scott, Paul, Pico, Henry, and I attended (work kept Bob D. away :() and we displayed 33 models on our indoor table. About 40 real cars were on display ranging from Clark Wades 289 Cobra, a Lola T70, a new era Mustang with a Boss 429 stuffed betwen the strut towers, severeal rat rods, 55-57 Chevy's, muscle cars, etc.

What made the show great was the hospitality of the folks at GMP, Tom and Matt Long and the reat of their team extended every courtesy to those in attendance. Their offices were open so you could wander about and see all of the cars , trailers, golf carts, etc that GMP has produced. If you wanted to see a model up close they were more than glad to open up the case and let yuo take a look. the 1/8th scale Porsche 962 is excellent but the $4K retial price will keep me building plastic ones.

Paul Wehner was the officla photographer for the junket so i know we will be seeing pictures soon. Hopefully the folks from GMP will be at our show in November.

No, this isn't a vintage '69 or '70 Boss 9, but rather one stuffed into a current S197 Mustang

Zoom Zoom accidentally had the setting on his shrink ray set to "temporary" rather than "permanent", thus his magazine review car returned to its original state.

Thanks for the pics! I rotated the one '10 Mustang interior shot to get it right. I like the shot where you can see Clark's 289 Cobra through the Mustang windshield :cool:

That guy would have freaked had I gone to the show that day, as I was planning to take the green Nova :cool:

Looks like some neat cars; love that '32 highboy.
