  1. Just got in the mail yesterday two nice built Road Runners. One's a 1976 from MPC and the other's a 1969 from Johan. The model that I want is a 1974 Chevy Caprice by MPC which I hope to find with a vendor at The Classic Plastic model car show in Lawrence Mass. on the second of October.

  2. I have a wooden flat bed that came from a 1/25 scale early 90s Ford Short Bed PU junker that I got to cannibalize parts from for a rebuilder.

    It's well done and has two supports that attach it to the frame rails. I have no use for it. Anybody who's interested in it can zap me a PM.

  3. I'll be at the event on 10/2/22. It's going down at the Elks Lodge In Lawrence Massachusetts from 8AM to 3PM. I hope to meet fellow modelers from Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire who are members of this site there. Also, I hope to find from the vendors two rare plastic gems from MPC that have eluded me for years. A 1968 Dodge Coronet convertible with the old U Haul style trailer and a 1974 Chevrolet Caprice 2 Dr.

    Not sure what you mean by open wheels. Could you post a picture? I have many extra wheels I'm probably never gonna use.

    I'm having problems uploading pictures but open wheels are ones without the hubcaps like the ones from the auto makers.

    I have a brand new set of ModelHaus taillights that I'd be willing to deal on , I think they are the same left to right just flipped upside down . The package says 1965 Rambler Classic

    1965 Rambler Classic 770 - YouTube

    Those are the ones I need. PM enroute.

    Looking for a AMC 6. Have the V8 from the gremlin kit.

    I may still have one in my junkyard stash but it's from an MPC AMC Pacer annual kit. Will that work? I'll look just in case.

  7. Friday was the last day for the summer day camp that my company has a contract with and I've been driving around in my school bus for the last couple of months. I'm on vacay all next week and then school starts a week from Monday. Until then, I'll be kicking back while my school bus will be in the shop for some much maintenance.

    they haven't had it for the last couple years,due to covid,,so this year should be really good

    I attended the show myself once back around 04 or 05. I scored some nicely built vintage model cars at fair prices such as a bronze painted 1965 Caddy and a red 1963 Plymouth Fury both by Johan. I still have the Caddy but I sold off the Fury and the other cars a decade later when I was in a bit of a money pinch.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Who among us has NOT thought this at least a dozen times in our modeling careers? ;):lol::lol::lol:

    You have a point. With my personal debt just about paid off, I have some cash to burn and it won't be long before the buying bug bites me again.

  10. It's model rated but I finally got two vintage car models in the mail just a short time ago and I've been after both for a while. They're a Johan 1968 Chrysler 300 minus the tires and an AMT 1972 GMC Stepside pickup. Both are well covered in dust but will get a bath soon. A visit to my tire bin will yield new shoes for the Chrysler.

     

    My collection is now complete.
