Somehow I can't help but think TC is somewhere frantically searching for his chopper door.
No, the seller is not Jim Bonnick.

This is great!

Replacing a windshield is one thing, TM's gonna have a hard time with a whole door!

I can hear T.C. yelling "I'm going to kill T.M........"
How much are they asking for the door?
Any bullet holes?

Sorry, I've been on the road since posting. I believe it was around $450 when I found it. . The auction ended while I was gone, and now I can't find it to see what it finally went for.

Thanks N1095A!
I went looking for it and came up empty too.

Yeah, it was my fault. I saved the picture and didn't save the link to the auction. I thought I had as I was curious how much it was going to sell for.

Funny thing is, even a search for chopper or helicopter door did not yield any result - how did you come across it in the first place?

Typed Hughes MD500 into Ebay search.

Nah,

I was looking for a good model 500D. I search every so often for one I can build or repaint in the Island Hoppers scheme.

I used to have a toy one ... but to repaint it would mean disassembling it and probably airbrushing - so you must be quite proficient in that field

I've done it a time or two.

That's awsome! Very detailed work, right down to license plates and stuff! I especially like your Fall Guy and S&S trucks - two other shows I used to follow back in those days. You must have quite a showroom!

Thanks a lot. I never had a Magnum vehicle. The Ferrari would be an obvious one to model, but I'd rather have something a little different.
