    I swear in some pictures that model looks like it is a real car sitting in a paint shop.

    I have a friend here in Calif that owns a dozen or so Willys. From Aero's to a 1930s pickup that was a basket case. He drove to Canada to get the pickup. I will have to show him this thread. Congratulations on restoring it. What a piece of history.

    VERY NICE job on repairing that concept model. Did UPS pay just your initial cost for the model, or did they also cover some restoration costs?

    UPS only covered a portion of the Purchase Price. which was a little more than half... it was insured for the full purchase price..

    for you all that ship with these companies.. they will NOT insure items from a Residence in the U.S to a residence in Canada.. they will only insure if its going to a business.. which is where I had it shipped too , where I worked at..

    It will take a while longer to complete.. I had issues with the primer binding to the body.. I have to figure out what the steps are to continue on..
