Falcon Ranchero

Should've also mentioned the '62 Galaxie hardtop, was hoping to find one to build a replica of the one my grandfather had. Issued in '62 and once more in '69 by AMT, and I think Modelhaus did one way later but they're still very hard to find. A modelhaus one for sale on ebay one province over is going for about $200, not cheap either.

Really like that Fargo van and the Corvair Lakewood wagon as well as the Aussie Charger; a rare sight for sure. But that '60 Plymouth was outta sight. Still have yet to see one in real life.

Noticed that today marks one full year I've been on the Model Cars Mag forum.

That is very awesome, I have to pick up one of these

That is good; couple years ago had the ‘68 kit in my hands at the vintage stuff shop but wasn’t going to pay $300 for it. Your ‘67 looks very awesome.

Well, it's official, I finally have one of my three holy grail kits, the 1960 Plymouth Wagon kit. Had my aunt down in southern Ont. pick it up so I won't actually get it in my possesion until later July or early August, but just knowing it's 100% mine already is just awesome. Though I do owe her $60. It is complete and still has I believe all the parts on the trees. Here's the pic she sent me.

Went on a "Canada Day Cruise" today in the Highway Star, saw quite a bit, even an unfortunate accident that, when we passed looked like everyone was ok but then maybe 8 minutes later we pulled over for two ambulances, a fire truck, a fire chief and a police car, so I dunno. But we did see a Dart Swinger, a '60 Bel-Air, a '68 Charger, a '64-ish Chevy panel truck and a '77 LeMans but no pic of those last two. And here’s HS at one of the historic sites

I remember seeing that and it looked very cool; I think that is what partly inspired the scheme for my build

Just this morning at 8am a black ‘66 Chevelle convertible drove past the house.

I remember also seeing a fun sign where some of the letters were not lit up. Also no pics but the store was Pet Supplies Plus but the “Pet Supp” was out and it just said Lies Plus.

Yeah I’m not a fan of those wheels either; but the truck itself looks pretty cool

Yeah it was at the shop when we went to pick up our classic; I’ve only seen this Vette at shows so seeing it then by itself not surrounded by a crowd was nice.

This weekend past sightings

Bought some nice chrome exhaust tips yesterday from Canadian Tire; not exactly the same size and didn't notice till after the checkout but they should be fine and should fit over the exhaust pipes. Both had the same bar code and everything so I dunno. Also the wheel opening trim should come in after tomorrow's holiday so that'll be nice.

Man, that is rough. I remember my friend at school was telling me of some company guys who were felling trees by residential areas and decided to drop one on some guy's mint 1972 Camaro. Not fun.

I am very pleased with this. This was a re-build from the original completion in 2021. I had painted it purple with a brush, and it was exremely thick. Never was terribly pleased with it so I decided to re-do it, and I must say I am not disapointed. Kept the interior the same, as it was black, then had the body re-sprayed gloss black, and added a black vinyl top. Kept the redline tires and rim combo, but then added a red side stripe to the bodysides. What was neat that I didn't even do on purpose, was that I started the re-build 4 years to the day I completed it in 2021 (June 27th), so last Friday. Started with this

That '58 Del Ray sure is nice but that '67 Beaumont is very cool

The Highway Star came back from yet again another sleep over at the mechanics; now has a parking brake and a horn that works.

Ooh like that Galaxie

I second this

I would love to have this too; was hoping to build a replica of my great uncle Al’s 1962 Country Sedan, looked like this but had a silver top.

The broken record is still playing: JO HAN 1960 PLYMOUTH FURY But I’d even settle for the seemingly easier to find wagon or the surprisingly hard to find ‘59 Cadillac Seville

Started yet again another old build re-build, my 1966 GTO. About 3 years ago I painted it the thickest brush-on coat of purple ever applied on a model car (no joke) so just now this morning I disassembled it and sanded the body and hood. Plan is to do a triple black GTO, (gloss black paint, black vinyl top, and interior is already black) offset by a red side stripe.

Had a nice '76 Ford 4x4 stepside in my rearview mirror for a bit this morning.
