I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year and PLEASE be SAFE!! Me I'm staying home for the 2nd time in a row!! I used to work for the Hyatt hotel in down town Phoenix as a security supervisor and for 11 YEARS I had to work and deal all of kinds of people getting drunk and acting like dumb a$$'s Ok well they were just having fun and I was the pissed off security guy who had to work yet another New Year Eve's!!! But boy oh boy did I ever see some stuff!! if you know what I mean Again have fun and be safe!!

Hey guys for all of the replies. I'm getting back into modeling to build models and not to just collect them. The guy I'm getting these kits from has more then one of these same kits as I'm just buying one of each of them he has and I'm also getting the turbine car kit he has. I don't really care what the cars are worth as they are wroth what I'm willing to pay for them and I think the price I'm paying is pretty fair and I don't have to have a bidding war to get them Anyways now all I need to do is stop posting on this site for awhile and start building some models! Ok I'm back.................. oh wait I never left

Man I didn't think Wally World has been around that long

Nice looking builds!! Love the Buick!!

Here some stuff I picked up today. Has anyone built one of this kit? I haven't looked at it yet. <img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/tuffone20/100_9372.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/tuffone20/100_9373.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> This one I'll try and build like the one my older brother had, only his had a 66 front end on it! <img src="http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> <img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/tuffone20/100_9374.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

You know I knew someone would say that, and I'm buying them to build as that is what the kits were ment for. Your so funny I can't get up off the floor from laughing so hard... had one more quote but board said I wasn't allowed to? I'm buying kits to build, well I'll hold them until it's time to build them! Like I said I was just wondering what they are worth, not that it really matters as I'm buying them anyways. Thanks for the input &

I have these kits on hold for me and am wondering what they are worth? I'm going to buy them anyways for what the guy wants just because I want them and he is being kind to hold them for me plus a few other kits I didn't take a photo of. Thanks

Man you guys are fast!! I'm thinking I'll just fix the body work and keep it as an old custom as I don't want to spend a lot of time missing with it. Thanks. Here is a photo of the inside.

I picked this up with some other models I got last week and am thinking about striping it and redoing it. Can anyone tell what kit it was? I know it's a Corvair but that's about all I know. Thanks

Thanks for all the reply's guys. So far I've used 2 colors. Black it went on just fine, but the chevy eng. red not so good at all, I've put 2 coats on and still have places that need to be touched up. Anyone want to buy about 20 bottels of this stuff!! LOL I'm going back to enamels.

Ok so I'm just getting back into building models and I picked up some Model Master ACRYL bottle paint to use on small parts and stuff. And I don't like the way it looks when brushed on! It doesn't cover every well at all unless I'm doing something wrong? I'm thinking about going back to their enamel paints. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I just picked this stuff up tonight! And meet a great guy who is really into old cars and well anything to do with cars! I hope to be able to get some more kits from him soon!

Thanks, and I know how you feel about having one. Back in the 80's I had a pair of 71's a hard top & a conv. and when I think back now I just can't beleive I sold them!! I even one time passed up a deal to buy a 70 Ralleye 350 for $800! oh and then there was the time I could have picked up a 71 442 for $425 with a 455 in it! Man the price we pay for starting a family!! I wouldn't trade it for anything. Oh well I can have them all now in 1/25th scale!! Just need to find a few JoHan 70' Olds kits! So if anyone has any that you don't want a arm & leg for let me know

I went to a hobby shop in Tempe that I hadn't been to in years. I picked up a few things while I was there.

I just got this one and thought I'd put it here to go with your blonde winter joke A Blonde's Year in Review January Took new scarf back to store because it was too tight. February Fired from pharmacy job for failing to print labels..... Helllloooo!!!.......bottles won't fit in printer !!! March Got really excited....finished jigsaw puzzle in 6 months..... box said '2-4 years!' April Trapped on escalator for hours .... power went out!!! May Tried to make Kool-Aid.....wrong instructions....8 cups of water won't fit into those little packets!!! June Tried to go water skiing.......couldn't find a lake with a slope. July Lost breast stroke swimming competition.....learned later, the other swimmers cheated, they used their arms!!! August Got locked out of my car in rain storm..... car swamped because soft-top was open. September The capital of California is 'C'.....isn't it??? October Hate M & M's.....they are so hard to peel. November Baked turkey for 4 1/2 days .. instructions said 1 hour per pound and I weigh 108!! December Couldn't call 911 ........ 'duh'.....there's no 'eleven' Button on the stupid phone!!! THE BEST BLONDE JOKE OF THE YEAR - SO FAR A man was in his front yard mowing grass when his attractive blond female neighbor came out of the house and went straight to the mailbox. She opened it then slammed it shut & stormed back in the house. A little later she came out of her house again went to the mail box and again, opened it, slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went. As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, here she came out again, marched to the mail box, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever. Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, 'Is something wrong?' To which she replied, 'There certainly is! My stupid computer keeps saying, 'YOU'VE GOT MAIL!'

WoW! I'm liking what I see so far. Nice job on all of the aluminum pulleys and stuff. I like the hub caps and beauty rings too.

Thanks guys and I'm even thinking of doing a Landscaping trailer & truck with all of the goodies some time down the road.

I added some new photos of the trailer.

WOW is all I can say after going to one MOONLIGHT MODELERS meeting. What a great group of guys they made me feel right at home. I even got a gift from Santa! Oh yeah and the models were awesome! This is a fun group and if anyone here in AZ is thinking about joining a modeling group you can't go wrong with them. Thanks, Marty

Man that thing is great! Looks like you could walk right up to it get in and drive it right off your desk You do very good work!!

Very nice build for sure! Color looks awesome! Where did you get decals for the seats?

Well it's really not with the site, but there is so much good info and so many awesome models on this site that I'm having a hard time working on my own stuff because I'm spending so much time on here going through old posts and trying to keep up with all the new stuff!! What a great place this is and I'm sure it time I'll be able to do both. Thanks!!!

Your wrecker looks awsome!! Did you build the trailer in the background in the 1st photo? I'm rebuilding an AMT trailer and would like to add side marker lights to it, how did you make the ones on that trailer?

Danno, thanks, it gets hard to do some times but I enjoy racing cars that look good and like real race cars We have 2 clubs that race slot cars and between the 2 there are about 8 or 9 tracks, and I'm trying to get the t-jet racing going I saw it and will try and make it Saturday night. Thanks

Danno, Thanks for the info and I will see if I can make it to Saturday's meeting. I'm really like this site as the more I'm on the great stuff I find
