: "a whole bunch of pictures" of him

: I can't wait to go thru them next time I am

: box/strap/buckle/warranty too!

Brad, Great to see you post here. That's a great pickup, congratulations! I think I had a BRE Datsun Aurora AFX HO Slot car when I was a kid. It's wonderful you have a piece of such a notable racing story...

: I'll attempt to post a picture.

You did it right. Thanks for sharing it with the forum.

: I'll post a picture of my "John Morton" when it is done.

I and the other folks here in the forum are eagarly awaiting that day!

Cheers and welcome to the forum!
