[DML] Self-bleeder on the Sunstar cars - Was Cooling System Problems (DMC Joe's Overheat Protector)

["Montgomery, Ken" <kenm@xxxxxxxx>]

   The Sunstar models have the 'self-bleeder' because the car the models
were patterned after has one. I now own the Sunstar/Welly car. It's the
car that was photographed and measured to make those models. You can
tell by the shape of the warp in the air dam, the design of the
non-stock radio, the way the cooling bypass hose was added and the
notched exhaust pipe tips. So all of you that have the Sunstar or Welly
models have a model of my #2 car!
