    "SWEET" is the only word that comes to mind. We can't wait to see when it's complete.

    A small box of spare parts for two nice rebuilders arrived in the mail at my house just a short time ago from the same E Bay vendor in Seattle that I recently got the Lotus racer from. I didn't have them in my parts stash but he certainly did and cheap to boot.

    The Lotus racer that I got from E Bay will come with it's original box and what I found about it came as a surprise. It was made by a company that I haven't even heard of called "Industro-Motive. I did some online detective work and all I could find on it was that it was based in Troy Michigan like AMT was and it only had a brief existence back in the 60s. If anybody is familiar with the company's history, please feel free to share.

    Welcome to the gang John. Lost of good members here and helpful to boot.

    My latest acquisition of off E Bay from a great vendor out of Seattle that I've been doing business with for a long time and for a song. It'll look good on a vintage trailer that's hooked to a nicely built 65 Chevy El Camino that I got from the same vendor eons ago. Here it is from E Bay.

    The school kids have next week off so I'll be taking it easy as I resume a couple of model car projects that I had to put on hold because of my job and other things that needed attention.

    The trailer that I got from E Bay last month bounced between post offices around the Boston Metro area for a few days like a rubber ball before the USPS finally got it's act right and sent it to my address. I kept the seller in the loop until I could leave him a positive feedback. He said he's never heard anything like before as an E Bay vendor.

    Agreed. I read something online not long ago that stated China has claimed the tooling that was sent over there by the current Revell owners as state property.

    I saw the box of the California Street Vette in the photo. It's another Tom Daniels creation. I thought of that a couple of time before.

    Thank you for taking the time out to take photos of those old buildings and cars Brain. I had a chance to look over the photos of old gas stations in another thread that you took photos of that were just as cool.

    Even in today's economy, it's good to see that we modelers here are still snapping up deals like the ones posted. ?

    The latest to my growing promo fleet. A Hubley 1960 Ford sedan that I got off of E Bay an hour ago and for a song. It's missing the right windshield pillar which I can rectify w/o issues and part of the rear bumper is gone but a good used one from my parts stash is on deck to replace it. Here it is from E Bay.

    My late dad had a side job pumping gas at a Sinclair station years ago that a friend of his managed. It was located on Riverside Ave, In Medford Mass. It had the company's mascot Dino The Dinosaur painted on the roof of the station. The station is still there to this day but it's a it's a self serve Sunoco. I miss the old school stations.

    I got to watch the 1963 comedy classic "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and in it's entirety last night on a site out of the UK called BitChute. It's similar to our YouTube.

    Everytime I browse through the built model car section of EBay with no intention of buying, i get hit with offers of buying a car at a lower price than what the seller wants some I haven't even looked at. This weekend alone, I got with nine offers. I'm just deleting them as fast as they pop up. It's like dealing with used car salesmen who use high pressure sale tactics on anybody who is just walking past their lots.

    A belated Happy B-Day. An a cool haul.

    While the restoration work on the Texas is in it's final stages, the search for a new home for her is ongoing, I hope one is found for her soon enough.

    The latest addition to my expanding collection of promos arrived not along ago. It came courtesy of E Bay and the price was reasonable. Below is the photo of it from E bay. Now, it's time to give the old plastic a rest for awhile.

    I just ordered a 63 Ford PU from Model Round. As I admitted before, I was never able to develop the painting skills that others here have but I can cleanly build it right out of the box.

    PM enroute.

    Is the black 40 Ford on the top left in photo No. 8 still available?

    The trailer that I got from E Bay has been bounced around post offices in and around the Boston Metro Area since Saturday night courtesy of the USPS. I was suppose to have gotten it today. Now, the :"Estimated" day of arrival according to the tracking number that was provided by the seller is Wednesday. I informed him on what's going on in case he asks on why no feedback was left. I told him it was no fault of his own. He understood.

    Thank you. It should arrive at my house this weekend via USPS Priority mail.
