    you really do love it huh??:D:D I got this one from another hobbyist who passed away and his wife gave his huge collection to this massive rummage sale Rosie and I go to every February out in Oakland. They know me there so I get to go to their secret stash in the back and choose the ones I want. You know-they sell this one on e-bay and other places on the net:) I will go dig up a link and bring it here:)

    ..oh yeah I totally concur! ..and the 65-67s were done right! If you do get one, I recommend the "Anson" brand because they really did a fine job from detail to finish-like they cared:)

    I stumbled across them while looking for a storage cabinet solution for my wife for in the foyer to hide all of her crap and my printer.

    They came from IKEA and are supposed to be for media storage, but I thought they might just be the right size for my cars. The best part is the full view glass doors, NO DUSTING !

    I got them before Thanksgiving for $100 a piece. If you know anything about the stuff at IKEA, they are called "BERTBY".
