  1. Excellent! PM me whenever it turns up.. Thanks
  2. I own a '77 Grand Prix SJ, and would buy a couple kits FOR SURE.. Also, from the introduction of the Grand Prix in 1962, alllllll the way until they quit producing them, the 1977 model year was the highest selling of them all.. You'd think plenty of people would buy a '77 kit.. Not to mention that the '77 GP is arguably the best looking of all of the GM '73-77 A-Body Collonade cars..
  3. Yo, I need to get hold of the drivers side fadeaway fender part for the Revell Limited Edition 1948 Ford custom coupe 3 in 1 kit.. The part I seek is # 306 on the destruction sheet.. I've got stuff to trade, if you've got one, PM me, thanks!
  4. Man, I'd love to get a 3D printed sheet of all of the Forward Look era MoPar emblems you've got!
  5. I drew them on some 0.10 Evergreen sheet, then cut them out with a razor blade..
  6. Someone ought to make like a whole a$$ sheet of emblems covering all the 50s thru 70s cars! I for one, HATE having to do pic related to make my cars complete : Made for my '58 Chrysler Saratoga.. Did the '57 Saratoga as well, was even more intricate.. Made for one of my '56 Plymouth Belvederes.. Made a Powerflite emblem for my other '56.. Made a Highway Hi-Fi emblem for the Highway Hi-Fi record player unit that I made for my '57 and '58 DeSoto Adventurers.. Am doing these presently for my '58 Chrysler Windsor Dartline.. Just finished the quarter panel emblems up today, as well as the wheel cover insert emblem for my '56 El Morocco Brougham convertible.. I can tell you that 100% fore shore, THIS is not fun to do!
  7. They're on the way!
  8. Every single word that THIS dude said!
  9. I am looking for these three specific decals from the Revell '68 Dodge Dart Hemi kit, they are numbers 6, 11, and 13.. Here are terrible pics : These represent the various factory info and warning papers which were stuck to the windshields of the 50 Hemi Darts and 50 Hemi Barracudas as delivered in '68.. Need these for my '68 Barracuda build.. I have things to trade to you for them, thanks!
  10. Right on, nice build! Bottle trucks are the coolest
  11. Is it taking advantage? If the dude selling them kits didn't think to look at the internet in some attempt at valuation.. Well, that seems like a seller problem, NOT a buyer problem.. I dunno.. I DO know that I myself would be super thrilled to grab up another '62 Chrysler kit for ANYTHING less than $50 bones!
  12. This place, right here, is TOTALLY worth the trip btw..
  13. Holy smokes, thanks for the link!
  14. I mean, I've called BS on some of these barn finds before, as many of them are obviously staged.. This one looks legit though, to me at least.. And they're DEFINITELY still out there.. I personally know of 4 large collections, though nowhere near 300 cars, more like 40-50 cars, within 50 miles of my location, that look like this.. One collection, the nearest to me, is nothing but mid to late 60s Pontiacs, ALL 2-doors or convertibles, Bonnevilles, 2+2s, Catalinas, Grand Prixs, and GTOs.. About 50 cars in total, crammed sardine style into an old dairy barn, been there untouched since the early 80s, none for sale.. Another collection pretty local to me, of about 40 cars, all convertible Chevys, '60-'68 Impalas, '67-'69 Camaros, and a handful of Malibus and Chevelles.. Crammed into a long quonset hut type structure, all basically untouched since, again, the early 80s, none for sale.. There's an EXCELLENT '63 Impala SS 4-speed convertible in there, small block car, red, red interior, white top, needs fully restored of course, but I'll bet it was a real looker once upon a time.. There's another place just outside Columbus with nothing but tri-five Chevys sinking into the ground, maybe 40 or so cars outside, all body styles, none in great shape, the one right next to the road is, I shite you not, a red '57 Bel Air FUEL INJECTION convertible with a white top that is sunk up to its rocker panels in the yard, looks like it's been there for forty years, there's a huge pole barn on the property that is likely filled with cars, BUT, the dude who owns em all ain't very friendly at all, he'll show you his gun collection just for stopping in the road in front of his place, let alone pulling into his laneway.. Anybody on here in Ohio that has driven down SR 161 outside of Columbus knows exactly where all them tri-fives sit.. The last big a$$ collection I know about is 50-60 cars strong, and 99% Chevy Chevelles, spread over a large farm, and filling 5 or 6 buildings.. Name a rare Chevelle, go ahead, rarest one, and there's at least 1 of em at this dudes place.. Only time I've personally ever seen a '65 Z-16 or a COPO 427 Chevelle outside of a magazine.. I'll bet half of his collection consists of 1970 Super Sports, 396s, LS5 and LS6 cars.. Dude has been collecting them since the 70s, and they've been sitting in his barns for just as long.. I actually managed to buy the only car that WASN'T a Chevelle off of him, a ratty but complete '68 LeMans convertible that I stripped apart to contribute to the restoration of my '68 Ram Air II 4-speed GTO convertible, which is still a basket case.. ANYWAY, point is, I'm one dude in the middle of Ohio and I found 4 places like what's in that video, and in addition, I can think of at least 20 or 25 more stashes of old cars around here consisting of 5 cars or less.. Including my own lol.. So, yeah they're definitely still out there, just gotta do like it says in the good book, seek and you shall find!
  15. I been on this kick lately where I'm building all the heaps I owned in real life, tryin to at least, so, I reckon I'll get one of them Novas to replicate a really cr@pppy kind of burnt orange-ish '77 six-cylinder Nova coupe I had in the early '00s.. Round2 is the undisputed King of the Hill!
  16. Took the words right outta my mouth!
  17. BOTH of these are excellent ideas! So is the reissueing of the '68 Ford Torino Pace Car convertible.. And I'll say it again : If the '58 Belvedere were to either be corrected or turned into a proper '58 Fury.. OR.. Better still, corrected and turned into either a '57 Belvedere or '57 Fury.. I personally would buy 3 entire cases of that kit, maybe more, and I swear, that ISN'T an exaggeration!
  18. DUDE, Moebius kits are Top-Shelf! I've bought multiple copies of the '55-56 Chryslers, '65 Plymouths, and the whole line of Hudsons, they're all excellent! If ever a Moebius Nissan truck were to materialize, I'd buy so many of em! Thatd be killer!
  19. Thanks for posting this, I owned an incredibly rusted out one of these things for a while that I used as a yard truck for haulin brush and plowin snow on my farm.. Until it got so bad that if you opened the doors on both sides simultaneously the thing tried to fold in on itself lol Never knew there was a kit version, gonna try an track one down now..
  20. This would be swell.. I had bought the 1/20 at one point, thinking I could get over the difference in scale just to have THE truck! I couldn't.. BUT, that kit is really nicely detailed, I think it'd be a huge seller for Round2 if they brought it out in 1/25..
