    I have bought some Mint cars for less then I could plastic,one would think that the Mint owned the dies and would have went after them if the company closed.

    I have a Danbury Mint 37 GMC p/u on the way,I need to stay off ebay as I have been spending too much money on diecasts lately but can not pass up the deals. This one is like the Merc and not perfect but got it for a good price and even has the box.

    I think they lost all the tooling for everything some how.

    Never thought I would get one for less then 100 dollars,mint ones with box and paperwork usually go for over 200 but I got this one for 64 dollars.

    This was waiting for me when I got home from work,it has a spot light broken off but I do not care since I got it cheap.

    I too like the first version better but its great that its back to its former glory.

    Its going to be short lived since the leaves are coming down so I will be busy outside for a month.

    I was planning on working outside but the wind made it seem so much colder so I put in some time at the model table tonight,first time since early april and it felt good but still some stuff to do before I can spend much more time there.

    That looks like the engine I found.
  13. junkyardjeff
    This is the engine a 34 came with from the factory,the one I found in my parts stash is one like this with finned heads and dual carbs and would like to know what kit it came from as I never built one with the first generation flathead that had speed equipment.

    I just looked in my parts bins and found a 32 to 36? flathead with the water pumps on the heads that has finned heads and a 3 carb intake,it looks to be from a AMT kit and who knows what its from but it looks like I have the parts I need and did not know it.

    Would like to build my Monogram 34 Ford in a late 40s look so were there any 40 to 48 Fords built in 1/24 that I can grab tires,rims and hubcaps from or anyone making them. I want to keep the wires for a stock build in the future.
  16. junkyardjeff
    I wish this kit would have older speed equipment,the optional parts have a late 50s vibe and I am wanting it to be late 40s.

    I might be one of the builders the OP was mentioning,I am not a pro builder but try to build that look decent and do not get into much detail. I like clean and simple builds and my eyes are not like they were when I was a teenager so that it why I do not get into serious details,I build in a basement and over a winter will try to get it a little brighter so maybe I can start getting into those small details again.

    I would not pay any more for them since I would never use the decals.

    Now to find some parts.

    I got a late 60s 32 roadster that has the dual spares in the fenders that I do not like so can I use the fenders from any of the other 32 kits,trying to build a mid to late 40s hotrod with a hopped up 4 banger.
  21. junkyardjeff
    My 34 kit is 1/24 and if my memory is correct the 36 kit has the 38 to 48 style engine with aluminum heads and 3 carbs like the 40 p/u
  22. junkyardjeff
    Just picked up the mid 60s 34 Ford coupe kit and would like to make it a sleeper so I was wondering if there are speed parts that will fit the original flathead in any other kit or will I have to use the engine from the 36 or 40 p/u,not wanting to put a OHV engine in it.

    This one is my latest.
