They were made in Binghamton, NY. I was trying to find where so I could buy a couple more. I didn't want to have the cases be different sizes on the wall.

GeeBee Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I built one of these many years ago when Aoshima first released it for a friend who worked in R&D at the Land Rover factory in Solihull, he was part of the team that designed the air suspension, I've been waiting for it to be re-released so I can build one for myself, managed to find one at a decent price.

ChrisBcritter Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Snagged a '62 Falcon Futura this evening, cheap-ish; for once I was the only bidder: And here's probably why I was the only bidder: So it's getting cut up to provide the basis for a '62 Ranchero conversion - sliced at the base of the A-pillars and at the rear edge of the doors to get better alignment (somebody here did that with a Comet promo and said it was the best way to make it fit the Ranchero). Bonus: I'll put the B-pillar in a good '62 promo I have that's missing one; the color should match. The Ranchero didn't have front fender spears so I'll just fill the holes. This is what I was talking about in the Questions section when I asked about combining Cycolac and styrene. Just didn't want to jinx it until I won the auction.

Tom Geiger Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Cool! Measure twice! The Falcon and Ranchero are different tools and there are differences in some of the key measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Definitely! I figure that's why it hasn't been done more often - that and '62 kits/builders are very tough to find/pricey. Craftsman/promo '63 verts show up a bit more often, especially with broken windshield frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the USPS website, enter the number and you can see where your stuff is. If you don't have a Tracking Number yet, the problem may be with your vendor and not the Post Office. To answer your question, no problems at all. I've placed quite a few orders with online vendors since March and they've all arrived quickly. Same for a few eBay items I bought. From the other side, I've had an eBay sale running for about a month. Once I mail the packages, I can follow them on eBay with the Tracking Number. eBay also reports to me when the package is delivered. I'm on the East Coast and all the buyers got their stuff pretty quickly, even buyers on the West Coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces ll Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Yes, I have a tracking number for the box... I also asked the vendor to help me look into it.... Seems the box is stuck in some warehouse here in Detroit..... I keep getting the same message that my package is in transit to the next facility.... ?? Maybe they'll deliver it tomorrow.....

Bucky Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I've had some interesting quirks on USPS delivery. Packages will bypass my area, only to spend a couple days somewhere and then come back to my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had several do the exact same thing, the tracking would never update and they would just show up sometimes a couple days late. I've also had them arrive at my local dist. center only to be shipped across town and then shipped right back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I ordered a part from Lexington, Ky. It went to Nashville, Tn, then to Montgomery, Al. From there it went to Memphis, Tn. Then, it went back to Nashville, and finally to the house. Looking at a good old road atlas, one can see that Lawrenceburg, Tn is only about 80 miles south of Nashville. I didn't think I was ever going get that part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
