Thanks - I put this one together for my son when we was about 3 or 4 years old - At the time - my Dad just retired and my plan was to have 3...
[ATTACH] The 40 Coupe after sand blasting. It was an old former stock car I bought from Atlanta, Ga area about 10 years ago.

I also bought a repo from Dennis Carpenter - pure junk . Found an original one - button a little cracked - but it works. Sent from my iPhone...
