    I don't have a pic of the big bumpers...

    ...here's others.

    I have a NOS new Palmer still wrapped. I have 2 of the Jo-Han/Testors built.
    They are the same.

    looks like neat stuff, there's also a ford I6 on the engine page for $10, but no pic.

    Just a thought,could you not use the big bumpers off a fresh cherries pinto die cast and fit them to a mav or comet model? Might be worth a shot?

    the fc pintos have small bumpers too, there 72's. but looking at my 1:24 grimlin, i think those might look simular. if you buy a resin kit like those where would you get the glass for it? i dont see it listed.

    The last kit that I bought from Perry's, a '64 Comet wagon, had clear vacuum-formed windows that came with it. You could just buy the bumpers from him and add them to a small-bumper Johan/Testors kit.
