    A friend just gave me his May 2006 issue of "Toy Cars & Models" where-in Len Carsner assembles a Jo-Han Boss 429 Pro Stocker Comet with a Cobra mod motor from AMT's '32 Phantom Vicki kit. He painted it Model Master's Grabber Blue, used "Pegasus" wheels and a cowl induction replacement hood so it brings to mind Maverick Man's Maverick.

    Okay, I finally remembered to bring the magazine back to work to scan it but how do I get the file size small enough to upload here? One pdf file is 847kb and the other is 632kb.
