The wife of NASCAR Champion Tim Flock passed SAT in Charlotte NC. I post this because I had a long professional relationship with Ms. Flock. She actually showed up at my hose one day years ago when I lived in Charlotte.......she needed some models made and she heard I was able to help her. I made a prototype of Tim's Chrysler from a die cast model. She gave me lots of photos and I did the artwork. Once completed she used it to try and get a model made by the die cast company. They didn't see it as viable and turned her down. I told her I could make the models if she could get the models made in white. She did......got 50 of them and I finished them. She sold these at NASCAR collector events.
Years later when Moebius made their Hudson kit I went to Ms. Flock to ask for licensing. She was very excited about a kit and was very reasonable with the licensing. We kept in touch, later getting the OK for the Moebius Chrsler kit. She was a classy lady, always positive and a joy to work with. One more of the NASCAR lengends gone. RIP Ms. Flock
Me and Ms. flock at a event!

I'm sorry to hear this. The world doesn't have enough nice people to go around as it is. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |
