Back in the Scale Auto days, in the April issue they would do an April Fool's article. This one was a new product (Clearveiw 2000) that when sprayed on a model the plastic would become clear. LOTS of people fell for it. *NM*

WTB Clearview 2000 and some early '60s Palmer kits. Who has 'em? *NM*
I just used the last of my Clearview 2000 to make a replica of the MPC NASCAR GTO kit, using the body of a newer GTO kit. Sorry about that. I would like to know if it’s still in production, though, so I can get some more. *NM*
I used the last Clearview I had but you can't tell since it is now painted. Heh! Heh! *NM*
Fellow KKIM member, Gary Cartwright, was given a glue bombed Palmer Torino and challenged to "do something" with it... Oddly enough, I actually don't hate the results.... *NM* *PIC*
I don't hate it either, I've seen much worse...... *NM*
I collect Palmer kits
I only have one. A 1962 Lincoln kit. *NM*
I have a handful of them in my collection...With their odd proportions, some could be used as the starting point for a funny car body. *NM*
I have a Palmer Avanti kit. Thought I might build it as a Pro Mod racer, with just the body on a Revelll drag chassis.
If you ever decide to unload the Premier Champ pickups, I'd take them off your hands... Had one of those kits a while back, but let it go to buddy who collects Studebaker stuff. *NM*
I know a guy who builds them, making them match the box art more closely than possible straight out of the box *NM*
I used up my clearview 2000 on an MPC GTO Nascar, an original issue 1/16th scale Richard Petty Charger, an Ohio George Mustang gasser and the hood of a 37 Chevy gasser!
My can turned. Its candy root beer now *NM*
I had some Palmer kits, but I thought they were so awful that I dunked them in Clearview 2000. Now I can't find them! *NM*
Best reply EVER!! *NM*
Perhaps you should explain what Clearview does. There may be some young un's on the board now! *NM*
Thanks Bill.......made me laugh, smile & brought back great memories........thems was the days.......lol. *NM*
What is Clearview 2000 ? I'm completely clueless. I know nothing about it, *NM*

I remember that article, as well as the letters from folks trying to find out where to purchase the product in the next issue...

IIRC they used a photo of a body from one of the classic kits with a clear body? *NM*
Correct. *NM*
