Sam I Am

Why do I have this sudden urge to throw all my truck kits in the garbage.... Simply amazing work !

Now I know what happened to my skyline.........

Nice work ! Love the engine ! A guy back home has a turbo charged buick v6 with 5spd in one of these. Its scary fast.

Ok, here is what has trickled in over the last few months, most of which has been through trades right here on this forum. The Tall T is brand new, the 1/8 Corvette is an old build with very little painted, the 1/16 Corvette is new, as are all of the 1/25 kits. I also found a 40+ car junkyard and an old partial built Ford C600. The really cool thing is the resin cast 1968 chrysler 300 hardtop. A friend of mine has been working on it for quite sometime. I have seven from the first casting. Bodies, bumpers, tail lights, and complete interiors. These bodies are so thin I cannot tell which is thicker, the resin or the plastic.

Great trades with DPNM, Mkslow,Green Duster, AFXmustang, Eric N, and AFX !!! Thanks guys !

I got a Seahawks Superbowl win !!! Right now I live in the middle of Broncos Nation, and let me tell you, horse meat is cheap tonight !!!

I think every car I have owned has been because I felt sorry for it and could see what its potential could be....darned vision anyway. lol Currently have dragged home two '71 Dusters, a 65 and 66 mustang, a 65 Impala four door hard top, a 1972 BMW Bavaria, a 1942 Ford GPW, still need to drag home a 63.5 Falcon hardtop, and am going to look at a 62 Falcon sometime next week.

Great trades with Dr. Kerry, AFXMustang,Alarmstrong, and Brudda !!

Thanks, plans are to keep it original as far as paint and interior, silver with a navy blue interior. Would like to find a later model set of alloy wheels for it. My sister's inlaws own the ranch, born and raised on it.Its actually her mother-in-laws, and she and her husband have been into them for years. They have had a 2002, two Bavarias, and three 530i's. They still have a 1977 530, a beautifully restored triumph TR4, and two 1970 MB projects. Her brother has Alpha's. Whats funny is that a neighboring rancher has three Jag E types, one of which is Ford 5.0 powered. The old guy is about 6 foot 6 and wears a 20 gallon cowboy hat. lol

My son and I brought home what will be his daily driver. Its a 1972 BMW Bavaria.

Right back at ya ! Great trades with Quick GMC and Slammedi'am !!

I'll find out when I get the 69 Nova kit. I found one and it shipped out today.

I apologize to the mods for starting the thread in the wrong spot, but the next time you move one, it sure would be nice to give the guy a heads up. It took me awhile to find it. I see that the 69 Chassis is the correct wheel base. I wonder if I could graft the front clip of the 76 Chassis onto it, then the suspension would be correct. Looks like its going to take a couple kits to get it right. lol Plowboy, thanks for the visual.

It will work for my needs, you wont see the top of the tranny once its finished, and the model will be wired down to the display case so it cant slide around.

You, my friend, have a pm. Oh, and I started a needed thread for a kit as well.

Thanks everyone. Now to go shopping for a 69 Nova kit. .....and dig through the stash for an automatic.

I do not have one to check. I have checked the Revell 69 Camaro and its a tad short on wheelbase and comes with a four speed. If somebody has a 69 Nova and a 69 Camaro and can compare the two, it would be appreciated.

I am in the process of replicating a 1:1 '75 Nova. The AMT kit leaves a lot to be desired. I looked through my stash for a donor kit that would give me the engine/tranny combo I needed and a better chassis, but cannot seem to come up with anything. I need a basic small block chev with automatic and better chassis detail in 1/25. Any ideas? TIA

Had another one of these come through the shop in silver. Beautiful truck ! So i started collecting parts again. i now have the 378 kit, the livestock trailer, and the wheels. i still am sorting out my order with eric. What I am having trouble locating is a cat engine. I think somebody makes one and calls it "the big yellow engine" but i dont remember where I saw it. Any help would be appreciated.

Great trade with Toylvr !!

Love 'em !! I have a number of the same myself.

Common, I sold a couple on ebay a few months ago in the $10-$15 range

Been there, done that, after four years still cant find it...

Some awesome gassers in this thread. Hope I can get back on mine soon and join in the fun.

Love the HO stuf. I still have all my cars and track. The boys and I have not brought it out since we moved, but it was raced regularly up until 3 years ago.
