I was at 1 of the 3 HL’s in my area the other day. They had the Revell ‘71 442 still at regular price.

Just got these today. Made a trade with MCMF member Little Timmy. Great to deal with. Thinking about building them as a drag set using the trailer from the AMT Cal Drag Combo. It’s gonna be a 2026 project for sure.

Oh WOW I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I had several dealings with Steve over the years although none since about 2018. A great loss for sure. Condolences to his family, and friends. May Steve Forever Rest In Peace.

Went to Hobby Lobby this morning and picked up the following: AMT 1960 Chevy Short Bed pickup truck w/Go cart Testors One Coat Lacquer Fiery Orange Craft paint Orange Weathering set The "Old Guys Rule" sign Excited to eventually build her (whenever that will be). The plan is making a somewhat mild custom which you might see at the Drive In, or a local track back in the late 50's/early 60's. I'm going to be painting the Fiery Orange for the cab, hood, and bed. Since the roof is two pieces I'm thinking either Testors Graphite Dust, Diamond Dust, or Blazing Black for the top of the roof. The Go cart will be most likely have a Black frame, and an Aluminum shade for the body. Also I thought the metal sign would look good in my display area. Although as much as I love the older (1977 and earlier) pickup trucks I have not built many over the years. I guess it's about time to start.

Very nice. What brand/shade of Yellow did you use?

Found the Re-pop of the kit at Michaels for $15.00 last week. I had this kit in both the Black w/Flames, and the Red Street Rat versions back in 1980, and 1981. Loved it then and love it now. Yes I know there's all that discussion about this kit, and the Monogram 1969 Z-28 out there. How it's not this or that. However being what it is, is good enough for me. Is it a contest winning type kit? Probably not. However it is a shelf model that I can build, and tell my Grandkid "Yeah I built a couple of these back in the 1980's. Well done on your version Erock.

The trailer has been traded.

Good day hope all are well. I have a number of "strip" cars waiting to built. As someone who was born in 1961, the drag cars of the 1970's are where I started to gain interest in the 1/4 miler's (as well as NASCAR, and the Indy 500 cars). So I have a number of examples in various build stages ranging from unstarted (the Revell '66 Malibu Street Machine, and the Revell '55 Chevy Belair 2n1 that I just got), to the following in partial build stages the Revell 1967 Coronet, the MPC Kalitta Mach 1 F/C, the MPC Duster F/C, the AMT 1965 Falco AFX F/C, and the 1970 Dom's FnF Dodge Charger (although this is more or less a glorified street machine/bracket racer). So if anyone has built any of the cars that I have listed i'd appreciate some pics of them. Thank you. Kind regards, Jersee Jerry 55

I have the AMT Miller Beer 40' trailer for trade. It is factory sealed. Pretty open to what I'm looking for in return. If anybody has interest in the kit please message me. Thank you. Kind regards, Jersee Jerry 55

Went back today, and got the Revell '55 Chevy Belair 2n1 kit for $15.00. Just need to decide which way to build it. Gasser, or Street machine.

No worries whenever you get around to it. Thank you for your help. Kind regards, Jersee Jerry 55

Bill, Hello. Thank you very much. My address is: Jerry Fowler 100 Tallowood Drive Medford, NJ 08055 What would you require in return for the part?

Bill hello hope all is well. Thank you.

Thank you.

Here’s what I picked up at Michael’s today. All kits were $15 each and the rattle kits were $4 each. Not a bad haul.
