Adam, I am managing to put together a few original Expressionist as time
permits. I have a couple here now ready to go AND I just found a few more
new chassis without any scratches. A couple were scratched just from
improper handling. If you REALLY want one, I can get one together for you.
Regards,
Tony Karavidas
