Falcon Ranchero

Position I was in in grade 11 English class I read A sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury and had to draw a little comic type strip about the ending and I still have it if you dudes are familiar with the story and would like to see it

Was sun bathing

,the beach chair,

is out, so

To put a scene to the claim, here's today.

I suppose it's too late to get into vintage kits, but, that being said, I did mention two complete kits, unbuilt, and with no issues that I did pay, collectively $90 for, in 2023. An original issue 1970 Bonnevile ($40) and a 1966 issue 1958 Thunderbird ($50); but, I had some suspicion that the reason those two kits were basically priced no more than modern kits was that both had been reissued recently, so technically the two kits were easily available, just these two happened to be the 60 year old issues, which made them of collectible status, whereas every JoHan kit and some AMT kits were only issued once or twice, 50-60 years ago and haven't been available since then, and so mint examples are typically priced above average model kit price. I did build those two vintage kits, and I did also have a few my dad kept a hold of, however they were late '70s models, not the late '50s-early '60s I'm after.

The sun is O-U-T out today on this Tuesday off. There ain't a cloud in sight, it stopped snowing after weeks of on and off snow and dark clouds.

story game now

Off the seat

in the hallway

Good first day back at the college; gettin' back with friends and all that. Pretty good semester coming up, no Tuesday classes, Wednesday is 8:30am to 7:20pm with an unsure break in the middle. Long day if there's no breaktime but it is how it is. Relatively easy (using the term extremely loosely) work, the GIS (Geographic Information System) class is rumored to be a little on the nasty side in terms of how "easy" it is, but I'm sure it's all good.

Really like the custom Elcamino and the Pontiac, as well as the Cadillac and the ‘Cuda.

If you get

Well that’s ok, I did a horrible brush paint job on the car and its overall appearance is pretty goofy so I wouldn’t mind taking it apart and doing it right. But thanks anyway

I too built this kit, wanting to make it stock but didn’t have any extra parts, mainly tires so I ended up succumbing to the low rider version the car was meant to be. Seeing yours (which is really neat) I totally gotta redo my kit the right way and give another shot at making it stock. Thanks for that inspiration 👍I have a nostalgia factor for the 80s Cadillacs.

Yes patience is the virtue that sometimes evades me when it comes to certain things, such as vintage kits. 20 years ago I wasn’t even around to be in the hobby so I too have to deal with what’s available today also. Around here it’s a little challenging as I can really only rely on second hand stores as there are never any swap meets or anything like that even remotely close so finding stuff is quite tricky.

Yes underneath it says made in England. Totally bought it not only because of how cool it is but because I was very well aware of the double lifetime warranty👍 One of the reasons why I really like vintage things- cool design that’s practical and lasts forever.

A health hazard

Every man needs his own stapler, so now I have one too. Value Village score $6 for a 1965 (?) Ofrex stapler. Pretty cool with the chrome.

I like the Corvair and the Mustang, but that Imperial ute sure is a beaut 👍very cool

Well thanks guys for all that advice, very informative I appreciate it. Next week I do plan on checking out our vintage junk shop as I have been meaning to do so for a month now. I did go to Value Village today just to see again; there was no kits but I did find something else of cool vintage interest that I did pick up.
