  1. Completed a trade with vintagedragcrazy ( Vince Nelson ) & will trade with him anytime.
  2. I got Revell's GMC pickup with snow plow in a trade with vintagedragcrazy ( Vince Nelson )
  3. The body's all painted & ready for the Decals & chrome foil.
  4. No pics but I saw a gorgeous '56 Mercury at a Hardees.
  5. Here's the rest.
  6. Here's an update. The engine is done except for the decals. The chassis still needs the rear end. The interiors coming out pretty good. The body is primered white & I've used Short Cuts white for the back end. The hood & fender skirts are Tamiya's bright red.
  7. This is one I've wanted to build for quite a while now. I'm keeping It stock & like the picture on the box.
  8. I got this as a trade with amxmustang.
  9. I also completed a trade with afxmustang. Everything went great. I'll be happy to trade with him anytime.
  10. Here's a gorgeous '51 Victoria I saw at a car lot. No price on It.
  11. The Hotel I work at had a King Midget meet.
  12. I'm not sure if they were plexiglass but they were tinted.
  13. I've finally gotten this one done. I Like this coral paint. It goes on smooth & buffs to a nice shine.
  14. It's been awhile since my last update. I dropped my camera & destroyed it & my phone cameras pics don't come out very good. I should have it finished this week & I'll take more detailed pics then.
  15. I asked the yard if they wanted to sell it several years ago & they said no.
  16. This '56 Ford has been setting up there for around 10 years & until recently it didn't have a back window. It was supposed to have been driven in & scrapped about 15 years ago & hasn't been started since. Somebody bought the back window about 12 or so years ago when it was in the yard so you can imagine what the interior & floorboards must look like after setting that long without a window. Up close the body looks to be in excellent shape. Why would someone even think of junking this? And why leave it up there to sit & slowly rot away?
  17. I appreciate the offer Dennis, but I found another one. I haven't got a lot done, but I did get the roof cut & the body primed & painted. I decided on coral & white.
  18. This is my next victim. I'm going to paint it 50's aqua & white. Take notice of the interior tub rear shelf. That Isn't broke It was molded that way. I'm sending Round 2 a parts replacement form & hoping for the best as old as the kit is. The instrument panel decals I got from best model parts on ebay. They're priced right, well made & look a whole lot better than paint.
  19. No pictures but I saw a gorgeous '67 GTO convertible drive by my job this morning.
  20. Eddie's done. I took some cat litter & dirt mixed together for the base to give It a gravel road look. I used an old necklace my wife gave me for the anchor chain. A real blast from the past to build.
  21. Other than a little touchup Eddie's done. I'm using this piece of wood paneling for a base. I'm not sure what I'll line it with yet.
