| I think the only unclaimed car is the #24 '68 Galaxie. |

Maybe it would be a good time for everyone building a car to check in with their build status. This way we could get a current list and fill in the gaps as nessasary.

Yes, I have been trying to keep up with this, but I think some of the builders have actually dropped out........ they just haven't told me.

I'd be willing to give one a shot. Just not the '68 Galaxie.   |

I turned the #40 Superbird over to Ray. There will probably be more available. Some enthusiasm has naturally dropped off since the project is stalled at the moment.
There is a possibility of a new venue for the diorama, but I can't give any information right now until I hear further.

I'd have a hard time handing over the #40 car anyway. 
Let me know if any others free up. |

Actually, Doug and I, along with Wedge, are the main builders, picking up what wasn't "claimed".
There is probably another one or two that I would give up if anyone was interested. I couple I want to build, and have partially, if not completely, finished.

| I see you don't have a status on the #28. Are the decals still available? If so, I'd do that one. |

I'm going the #28 since I had to redo the decals (trunk number, and some small markings are red on the sheet and have to be gold).
I'll go through the list and update it.

There are some cars now available. You might also want to check with Pat R. about his, I have not heard from him on them in quite a while.

Hey Randy! Would you like the Seifert #45 Talladega...? I'd like to keep the #21 Merc, but I'd give up the other one if someone wants it.

Right now there is no *deadline*.
Pictures have been posted of the #45, I don't have any myself, that I remember.

Bill, I'm still on for the #30 Marcis car. Got another set of decals from WCB and got behind this winter due to a new birth in the family. My daughter had a little girl, and I mean little at 4 lb and 1/2 oz. Daughter had to stay at our house due to bedrest issues and her husband working about 5 hours away from home. Long story short, my model room is on hold for about another month then I can get back to it. The Marcis car body is almost complete and I've started on the chassis. I'll post pictures as soon as I get back to modeling. Take care and happy modeling.

Bill, I'm still on for the #30 Dave Marcis car but have been stalled with building due to family issues which wil be ending in April. Itching to get back to building and have a ton of projects to get to when the time gets there. Talk to you soon.

I havent even started on either car yet, dont even have kits or decals. I know decals for one are made, but have yet to even see a picture of what the second one looks like. And unfortunately, i dont have the means to buy much of anything right now due to my wife loosing her job, and having to pay for my college courses.
Someone pm'd me way back when saying they knew someone that might know how the car looked, but Ive since lost the pm's from that person, so I dont know who it was.

I'm still in on the #5 car, have the kit(s) & decals. Have to get a race grille (or two) from modelhaus yet. Going to build it curbside shelf build so can hammer it out pretty quickly when the time comes.

No confirmed word on the status of a display site yet. Several things have happened which *might* give us a place to display the diorama. Doug will have to give the information as I am not up to date on that.

Are there references/pics of this Galaxie?
Is there even a body available?
Seems obscure enough to be interesting. |

In the next day or two I will drop this as a sticky. We will re-open it when info is obtained as to a display point.
