What was your first model car?
junkyardjeff replied to Kit Karson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think it was a Palmer 1/32 68 Galaxie convertible. -
Picked up a unbuilt Monogram 34 Ford convertible kit off eBay,going to take the coupe top from the 60s kit and build a four cylinder coupe version .

Do you also have 1:1 project cars?
junkyardjeff replied to ctruss53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Drug this home last year,it's rough and not sure I am going to finish it but has a lot of good parts if I find a better body. Had one for a first car and been wanting another for years,they can still be found reasonable so no sense in spending a bunch of money on this one. -
62 F 100
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
This is a original 62, since it screws togather I will do something about the roof later as I need a new chrome pen for detailing. Trying to match the paint might not be easy. -

Picked it up built last week,since it had some lettering I did not want to repaint and just repainted the chassis and interior and reassembled. It has some blemishes in the paint but can live with it.

AMT 62 F100

Got the thrift 62 apart to freshen it up some, pieced togather a correct Y block but had to add a longer car trans since the chassis had been buggered where the trans attached. Not touching the paint on the body but interior and chassis has been repainted.

No need to buy new kits now
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Never in my dreams would have thought I would have ended up with all the 60s stuff I picked up over the last year,would liked to know where all this stuff came from before it hit the thrift store. -

No need to buy new kits now
junkyardjeff posted a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have a friend who frequents thrift stores and over the last year he has found me over 30 built models from the 60s and with the guy at work giving me some too I will have a lifetime supply of restoration projects,other friends have been giving me the models they have or find so the only money the hobby shops will be getting from me is will be for paint and other supplies. I never thought I would have so many of the older models and I do love doing restorations so I know what I will be doing for years to come. -
Somebody must have passed away as these were showing up in a thrift store.

Yes the 64 is molded in blue.

My friend strikes again at the thrift store,the 67 Barracuda box is for the one I got a couple weeks ago and has the missing front bumper. This stuff keeps on coming and will not ever need to buy a new kit and I have plenty to restore now.

Who made this Firebird
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks for the info and I should have kept that OHC six I had a few years ago. -

The Barracuda is missing the front bumper and front seats and I have a 69 Kit somewhere so would those parts work.

I think the copper hood is for the turbine car but can anyone identify the blue hood with ramchargers on it,I was hoping it would fit the 62 Plymouth body I have but is too big.

The fender had what looked to be glue on it and no way could I ever touch up the paint so I just sanded it off and made it look like a repair.
-
I really do not need to build or rebuild any more since I have plenty but could not pass this one up since it came in a box of other models that were given to me,I do have a coupe I built back in the 70s that I do need to do something with.
-
I picked it up last week and put a new frame under it since the bumper brackets were broken off,put in the 390 from the 34 p/u and tried to make it look like a late 50s FE. It had something on the right front fender so I made it look like a repair was started,did not touch the rest of the paint or interior.

Johan 62 Plymouth?
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I found a extra Lindberg 64 Dodge chassis so I might save it.
