Good deal Nick, I'll catch up with ya sooner or later

Nice work Nick, I have a soft spot for gassers myself. How goes it I havent spotted you at any swap meets lately.

Slight repair on widow frame,got it in primer and found a couple of areas that need slight body work where items were glued on. Made some new shafts for the bigger rear tires , the original shafts made the tires stick out to far and I do not have original tires and mags. Rear tires from Barris ''T'' buggy.

the 72 GTO

Those Barris pictures are really cool, I love looking at those kind of photos.

Thanks I will check that out...I got it in primer now so painting soon.

When Charles Levy ( readers are leaders) was in business they had trucks on the street everyday making deliveries to places that sold magazines and remember the little street corner news stands? Big distributors such as Natiowide has their own trucks that pick up semi loads, how it gets to shelves from their centers I dont know. We also have an airfreight division that sends magazine bundles packed in boxes all over the world .

I dont know how you go part way through the postal system. I know we send trucks to presses to pick up subscriber copies (mail) and other trucks get wood pallets of magazines that go to distributors like Natiowide or Hudson news or old Charles Levy. One thing I have seen, smaller title magazines have less magazine bundles to a skid, so they stack the shorter skids sometimes 4 high. Subscriber mail goes on plastic skids that have 9 contact points on the item below it , so between moving around and unstacking with a forklift I can see covers getting destroyed when they seperate the skids.

After they leave the press only subscriber issues go through postal system ,the magazine distributors are handled another way. The company I drive for has an account with a lot of big titles and we pick up post office loads [ subscribers]and take skids direct to post offices and the distribution [ magazine rack] go to the magazine distributors that may only get a bundle or two.

I was thinking yellow with a white stripe....metal flake clear

I bought a parts kit Blazer at a swap meet and there was a bunch of extra parts in the box, after sorting it all out I had found pretty much a complete Kyote dune buggy. The big and littles , the mags and the red colored VW engine are from my parts box, the rest was in the Blazer box. So while waiting on parts for my '' El Shorty '' project I soaked all the Kyote parts in Super Clean and started to restore this buggy . Was this ever reissued ? parts box tires and mags

same here I bought plenty..... next is Kane county toy show 10/25/15 then Tinley Park swaps in December

Nice stuff Tom

It could not have been a more perfect trade with ''larry ray'' fast shipping, packed well. Had all my pick-up parts.

The mold lines should come off thats true , but when I did mine the sink hole at the leading edge of the right front fender needed the most attention. These Mercurys make for great builds inside and out.

Another great trade with ''bismarck'' aka Kevin Little...perfect

Here is what Tim described in the original Deora kit #2030-200

Looks good Ray, old school style

Good start on the Dale Jr. '56 . dont forget the car color cooler.

This one has the black fogged in on the body

Went to Countryside Illinois swap today a few kits and some builders 66 Cuda will need some love

pretty much the same, few additions

You may try letting it sit again in your solution. I had a stubborn resin body shot in automotive paint, it took 3 days in super clean.

Perfect trade with '' jeffdeoranut'' Jeff Ford , will trade with any time.

Didnt they try having the NBA all star weekend in 2007 ending in disaster?
