Saw that Hotel Taxi - that's one I hadn't seen before.  They are neat subjects and it would be fun to do a stock one and a hot rod one.

Don- I got the Normandie as a parts car. I want to use the wheels and tires on another build. I may ask Al Raab if he can cast them since they're pretty unique kit wise. The drivetrain and chassis would be cool on a rat rod project since they're odd.  I wasn't going to take anything out of a kit when I only had one of them!

 

Erik- Beware of the Hotel Taxi. The one I have has issues with the bus body. Loads of sink marks on the outside where there is detail on the inside. It looked like enough of a pain that it would be easier for me to scratch build the body, using the kit part as a pattern.

 

Still, I love those old Hellers!  They are detailed with a lot of chassis parts, kinda spindly like the old Revell kits!  I am watching to score one of those old Mercedes panels like Richard showed us recently.

Picked up the Stacey David Rat Roaster '32 Ford and an extra Revell '69 Charger Daytona at the LHS this afternoon.

Busy day, Neighbor gave me some tools, he feels at his age he won't be doing any more right jobs or tune ups, so he thought I may have a use for them, My old Shop Teacher/Friend gave me two Mopar Racing shirts like the one below, He used to work for Chrysler Corp, and was sponsered by Durham Dodge Chrysler, Then I got the AMT '95 Blazer from my friends stash sealed for $10, magazines were going to hit the trash bin. Also got my Tampo Printed Whitewalls from Revell Today.

If you go to the store for one thing, don't look at anything else, or you will have two things...
 


Now if I could just find a SBC to drop in the landcruiser...

Nothing today, went to Hobby Lobby to see if the Rat Roadster kit was in yet and it wasn't. I did how ever help a couple pick out a airbrush and let them know about the 40% off coupon. Nothing better than saving 40% on a 200.00 airbrush you were going to buy anyways. The employee was telling them nothing but wrong BS about airbrushes and i just couldn't stand there and listen to it anymore. By the end he learned a lot from me and was asking more questions than the people buying it.

I like that McLaren A LOT.I just wish that they made a street version and I didn't have to pay what they go for "I'm frugal".

Lucky!  I go to the Goodwill store every time I pass by and have only found a diecast car once! 

[martinfan5]

I think I paid $34 for it

I'm a lucky guy. Kindly old Gepetto dropped off these Aztec pearls.

 

 

Then this showed up. I never thought it would happen.

 

 

And to top it off, this  minty-fresh novelty from the Hon. Rev. Mr. Black. It even has the tinted windows.
