Bill, Yes, it is sad. In Europe they seem to be able to keep centuries old structures yet in our country too many times demolition is the answer and on buildings far newer than those in Europe. There are no plans to tear this magnificent structure down though, there are ongoing restorations.

But if a kit is 40+ years old and is still a box of sticks why is the new owner going to be the one to make it into a car? I would guess the new owner wants a car of the type he purchased. I do not know of anyone whose hobby is collecting vintage kits. Then again, there are some strange

Bob, If you ever build the Mainline stock cars, check the roof to see if a square piece of wood to gap the two roof sides is included. If there is, the car will build up way too wide. I think these kits were originally designed for On3 perhaps. One caveat, leaving that square piece out and
