I wish I had a real Cobra 427. I'd drive it even if it is freezing cold outside. 1/4 mile in 12.3 anyone?

The Cobra is one of my All Time Favorites

Someone ditched a pile of those boxes on front of my Walmart. So I shoved them under bush and grabbed them on the way out. They make great display cases for my bits.

I just checked, I hate to say it but he's right. Bits fit in the cases. So I decided to push the extreme: Zips fit in them, but just barely!

You doubted me?
Why would I lie about plastic cases.

I bought a bunch of cases like those at biglots some time ago.

Yeah, those BigLots ones are better. Slightly larger and stackable. I had a few from TRU that had hinged fronts so you could get at the car easier.
Whatever direction you go with cases it always rounds out to about a buck a car, and that would be too expensive for my whole collection. One day (hopefully sooner than later) I'm gonna go to Home Depot and get me some sheets of poly-carbonate, and make me a clear display case. I think it'll be much cheaper in the long run.

I have seen where some of these stores go out of biz and they sell off display cases for real cheap that might be a better outlet for a display case.
Even one of the clear round ones that turn in the middle!
