Tom Geiger Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The 77 Celica is another kit I've been searching for, I owned one of these back in the 80s, the only downside with this kit is it's motorised, but that won't stop me building a replica of my old car! Cool! I've always been a Celica fan ever since a teacher of mine took me for a spirited ride in 1972. I own a 1995 Celica GT convertible. I have bought all the Celica kits I have seen. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We got our new Sleep Number bed on Friday. We have slept in it two nights and it's pretty cool. First, we got a king size, much bigger than our old bed so it is great to have a lot more room. It's so wide that it looks square! The past two nights we've been playing with the settings, trying to find the most comfort. Salesman said it would take a week or two to totally figure it out. Now the fun part... the bed is connected into our wide area network! Nothing like having a bed on the Internet. I can check in from my computer or phone ap and see how we slept last night. Complete analysis. It even tells you how many times you got up in the night. My wife thinks someone is watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTalmage Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have checked 3 stores and cannot find the midget racer!!!!! I'm getting frustrated! I did go to another Ollies and use my 10% off coupon and got another superbird, another Ramcharger dodge, and a 66 GT350. Also won this on ebay. Been wanting a 49 ford for custom work/top chop.... Looks like its falling apart/missing parts... but its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks to member PARTSMARTY, I finally have the '60 Ford double kit - so now I have the engine for my uncle's '57 Fairlane. Now to figure out some 406 decals for the valve covers - and how to make it into a four-door neatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 After all this talk about Ollie's, I took a trip over there. Picked up three Lindberg Dodge Charger police cars, which was a great score, and a Revell '62 Chevrolet Hardtop for a convertible conversion. The price they were offering was great, but I had everything else on their "blowout" section, and besides, I don't have the space for any more kits. They will do fine, as the kits they had are good for filling holes in a collection, and for parts kits. If I had a kid or a friend who was a budding modeler, I would bring them there.
