That is a Resin bodied BMW 2002 from "World Classics".
The Cro Sal is a Resin body with a MRRC Cobra chassis. I had to cut the roof . It runs great. I did have to remove the crazy red motor. It is pretty tame for Cheetah

Does the person who sells these cases on e-bay have an ebay store? If so, you got a link? If not, under what topic and how did you find them on e-bay? What is
the sellers ebay ID?
Thanks, Griff |

Hey Lou! Sorry I've been awol! Great looking collection! I see a lot of cars I recognize. I'm need to do a collection shot, too. Just have to find the
time and lately that's been tough. If you all thinks Lou's collection looks nice, tell him to post a picture of his new track. It's a work in
progress but it's going to be a work of art! 50s

As with everything else on Ebay, the more you buy the cheaper it becomes just send him an email and he will get back to you, sometimes it may take a couple of days. Make sure you understand his shipping policy, it seems some people have an issue with this. From what I understand he doesn't keep a large inventory of already made shelves so it takes him a couple of weeks before shipping these out. They also might feel a bit flimsy but once they are up it doesn't matter. I never had any problems with them even with removing them from the wall a few times, overall I think it is a great product for the price. The only thing I recommend is putting tape over the rivets while hanging them, the rivets will mark your wall, and don't use one to mark all in case the holes are slightly different from one to the next. Thank's for the compliment 50's, I'll send you an email shortly.

QC, outstanding collection very, very nicely done rides. Noted quite a few
that would look real nice along with, you know, mine : )
O Lou Eo, outstanding collection as well. You also have some rides coveted by many to be sure . . . Must admit ... a little drooling on my side . . . Have several hobbies, one, of course is slots, of one my "hobbies," is mat cutting, making picture frames, have mat cuter, a Shop Smith, etc. Do it for friends, and I collect Robert Blue artwork, you' like it, trust me, his forte is high end fashion/fantasy women, cool stuff . . . Anyhow, there are several ways to hang display cases, so won't go there . . . As for the back of the display cases, go to a framing store, and buy some round rubber bumpers made for picture/framing. They are about half an inch or less across and about an eight plus of inch deep, and are usually a neutral brown color. Don't pay attention to the number per pad anymore, but it is plenty. For pictures, of course, the rubber bumpers help a picture stay in place, since the rubber sorta keeps them from slipping side-to-side from the single hook that the frame wiring slides over. Why it is prudent to use two wall hangers for any picture greater than 18 inches across. The two hooks adds "resistance" and better equalizes the weight of picture, etc. Anyhow, so what . . . As for your display cases, the rubber bumpers will keep display cases from "touching" the wall. As well help level out the cases, so they hang "vertically" about the same distance from the wall, from top of case to bottom of case. The bumpers are self-adhesive, therefore, you can stick them around your mounting holes, and other strategic places. To one, keep the cases from touching the wall, period. And two, keeping everything [case wise] much more "even" from back of case to the wall, as mentioned above . . . Hope this made some sense . . . The rubber bumpers are a cheap fix, easy to work with, and work well. Good luck . . . Cheers,

Thanks for the tip jas2060, I'll definitely look into it. I was thinking of just using the felt pads, only thing I came up with, but this sounds much
better.

o Lou E o,
Was doing a frame/mat job for a bud. Used, of course, some rubber bumpers for back of the frame . . . Had them out, so thought would give you more specifics about them. For this post, will use proper name for them. Bumpon, is a brand name of 3M, they come in several colors, the most popular is brown. That said, you can also get them in white, black, and gray. I use them for not only framing stuff. But, for many other things, from wall mirrors, to using them under thebeveled edge glass that covers my couch table, end tables, what have you. For my glass covered tables, brown works best, because the tables are wood. So, they blend well. For wall mirrors, shelving, and other such items, make use of Bumpons. For your intended purpose, no one will "see" them, so, color is not important. Having said that, should you have wall hangings, wall mirrors, et ceteras. You'll find yourself using Bumpons for those items too. As for felt, not close, since felt will allow for sliding, and crushes too much. For what you want your wall goodies to do, not move, not touch the wall. Just look pretty, along with your rides. Cheers,

Sure, there have been promises, but so far nothing... Everyone loves these cars so it's a no brainer, the more they make the more they will
sell. I know I'll buy a few...
