cmfowler Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Today thanks to the FedEx man, i received my most recent Ebay purchase, a 1/12 Scale Motorsport 935 detail kit, and wow, let me say it is everything I thought it would be and more. amazing quality. Then not today but on Saturday, my wonderul wife took me to harbor freight and bought me a mini-lathe. I had been wanting one for a while, with all the overtime I have been getting at work and with a recent raise, my wife decided she would take me to get it. I got it all cleaned up and adjusted, have some basic tools for it, just waiting for some time to get out there and try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Stopped by a almost LHS and turns out it is going all R/C. They only had a few models left (3) and wanted to get rid of them. 3 kits for $10. not any I really needed but who could pass up a good deal? Maybe I can stick the Supra motor in a Mustang..

MachinistMark Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Haven't picked it up yet but..... A Vortec 350 for the trans am Out of a 98 heavy half ton chev so it'll be a 4 bolt main block as well as set up for roller lifters from the factory. 1 piece rear main seal is nice too! Getting it, complete for 200 bucks. A set of bare in built vortec head castings sell for thatuch alone. Gotta go pull it out of the truck myself though.

MachinistMark Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Long term plans for the 350 involve a stroker crank, AFR CNC ported heads and a massive solid roller cam, and a whoooooolllle lot of nitrous. Long long term plans are 6.0 litre Ls swap with some form of forced induction either a large single turbo, 2 small (ish) turbos, or a great big centrifugal super charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillyb1 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Tamiya Hiace Quick Delivery van I can't believe they reissued this kit! I love the thing and have four or five in my meager stash. It looks like they added some cool stuff, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrknowetall Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Don, how much was that set? MSRP is about $17, but they're listed with a few eBay sellers cheaper. Edited September 6, 2013 by mrknowetall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000-cvpi Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I stopped at my lhs and both Hobby Lobby's and picked up three kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) I bought these from a Local Model Car Show, now the only problem is that where should I put those? The Van, Boat and Trailer kit has almost all parts, only a few small parts are missing. It was 20 Euros ($26) so I had to take it. The Pinto FC is unstarted, only taillights are missing, but with a good price I bought that too. Those all bodies were in one pack, which I bought because of that '56 Chevy Sedan. Oh and that '58 Impala is Trophy Series kit Glue Bomb, which will be built as a Custom. Edited September 7, 2013 by W-409 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
