First, if you don't know who Bill Coulter is, you've either just entered this hobby last week, you are VERY young or you've been in a coma for 40 years. Bill is a true icon in the model car hobby, having written several books, countless magazine articles and was one of the movers and shakers responsible for the rebirth of the hobby in the very late 70's and early 80's. Sometimes Bill sends me pics of his latest builds, but,as of yet, he doesn't have a photo hosting site. He gave me permission to plant these on the board for your enjoyment. THANKS BILL! Bill's Indian Turquoise and Classic White '59 Ford is an excellent resin kit from Tom Coolidge. The lakes pipes are from Bob Dudek and the cool '56 Mercury flipper caps are from The Modelhaus. Parts By Parks provided the exhaust tips and the outside mirror on the driver's side. How cool are these ? Paul from PSF Hobbies has the Gibson Les Paul guitar, the case and the Fender amplifier, all in 1/25th scale resin. Bill painted and detailed those items to match his real Les Paul and amp. THANKS BILL!!!!
