I am having a ball with my 66/67 MK1A Tiger. As a newbie, I am learning a lot and have met some very helpful people. I wouldn't call this a rant but.... Doesn't anyone sell a faux burl walnut top tape to mend a small area of the dash ? I have few areas to fix on my Tiger; but I have lost a bit of the thin burl over the glove box. I refuse to buy the cow ( in this case a new dash ranging between $250-600 ). Not only that, the thought of removing all that Lucas wiring and all the gauges to mount a piece of wood covered with this faux burl B](the milk ) makes my stomach turn over. Nobody out there selling a square foot of burl applique ??? All vendors of dashes, please forgive me. But really now.
On a totally different matter, I would very much like to purchase a nice diecast model of a Tiger as my eyesight is just not good enough to see those 1/64 and 1/43 models that are selling in the $100 plus category. How about a nice 1/18 or 1/24 model under $100 ??? This is a rare and significant car which deserves a "bigger" tribute if you know what I mean. I bet I know a couple of thousand possible buyers. Where are the capitalists when you need them !!! Thanks, for sharing your time to read my wandering thoughts.
