I'll be watching for sure. My first car was a 65 Fairlane. I wish these kits weren't so expensive, I have 2 old glue bombs but they're really rough. I can't wait to see more!

Very true George, this thing will never be "done". Thanks George, that is a Ms Pac-man game that I found years ago at Toys R Us before they went out of business. It works too, kind of hard to see but still fun. Here's one I found on ebay, you might be able to find one cheaper somewhere else. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176867241731?_skw=tiny+arcade+ms+pacman&epid=12007728713&itmmeta=01JSCB6P9Y0J4JXTDH559N37TW&hash=item292e1bef03:g:ysEAAeSwt7JnuqRE&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1eIoVdHmyMJTwxME3y3yEElz4FxHCvK5v0SMeceuWCd%2FUoUZiDLUvugiIfhoJiYeG9%2BMLbNl64KZBwpBmQFs1bE1TEGeVldRvY4Cifbc6YDocyQ56wBwo4vuA6FatA71OYsiHfRX0DL0EbWPt0V6ApiSJp5Gne6Yxi5nO9wrQ%2FD0TYyrw%2Fo%2F8z5kqalNF53Un1X0iXsOzoxJZ7jYAYddSaGkrxMQ8C%2BmmK9dwQytRSotvzVZk1aUnzmcWYQkXbcjvA%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5LlmovLZQ

Thanks Bill, I know I need to dirty up that floor but when I try it just never looks right. I'll get it eventually.

I haven't had too much time to build, but I've been playing with my garage trying to make it look better.

Vintage Flathead goodies!

Thanks Chris, I made the cups by chucking a piece of evergreen tubing in my dremel and scribing some grooves in it, tapering the bottom and some red paint. Thanks Jim! I appreciate it.

PERFECT!

I've never built this complete kit, but I've used the engine a lot and it can be detailed real nice. The chassis is nice too but the front end parts can be fragile.

I can't wait to see more! Great work so far.

That turned out great!

I just sold this old built up on ebay yesterday. It had that flat cover for the bed.

Nice start! Great for displaying builds and taking photos.

Thanks John. Thanks Joe, the little stuff is the fun part for me. Thanks Carl!

Vintage double kit builds. After some cleaning they look pretty good.

Great weathering! It's going to be a cool little truck when it's finished

Thanks Carl!

I've been of a roll doing little stuff after building the bar for my trailer last week. Today I decided to build a bench for my garage.

My favorite "classic" trucks that I've owned are my 23 67 79 Fords (some old pics of them). Of course when I owned the 67 and 79 they weren't classics, just old trucks. The only one we have left is the 23. I really like 53-55 Internationals, 34 Dodge and of course 56 Fords. Really too many to pick just one.

Not really a model but it will be. I got this from the same friend (Bill, my dads friend) that gave me that box of models last week. It's funny, this was mine when I was a kid. I got it new in 78 and had it until my parents moved in 1990. I gave it to Bill back then knowing he collected Hess trucks. Now he's getting rid of a lot of his stuff and stopped by to return it. I asked if he was sure about giving it back because I'll probably just end up cutting it up and making something else out of it. He just laughed and said it's yours again, do whatever you want with it.

The back wall is finished, now we need some weather over 1 degree to paint the trailer, doors & top so I can put it in for good.

My first big truck was the Junkyard Dog Mack. I bought it new when I was a kid, built it and ended up trading it to a friend. When he passed away a few years ago I ended up with all his models and he still had the old Mack. It's a horrible build but I was youngish back then.

It's been a while but I'm back at it. I repainted the trailer white because my decals are on clear paper. I started putting a top together and added an old sun roof from the parts box to let some light in. I also tried to make a Jack bottle from a piece of square stock, didn't come out too bad so I'll try and make a few more.

A friend stopped by & gave me these.

Took the cats for their shots today,(didn't go well) then brought home more junk we don't need.

Everything is looking great! Those pins you made look good but they should be white, they're porcelain. The box on the back of the firewall is the coilbox. Here's a few pics of a coilbox from a 1919 that I have to rebuild for my father. This box is metal and a little different than a 1913, the box on yours would be all wood but still works the same. The top 4 pins have wires going to the commutator, the middle 4 go to the plugs and one bottom one goes to the magneto and the other to the battery or switch if it doesn't have a battery.
