    Truth. I ain't rich but all bills are paid and the larder is stocked with food before I spend anything on the hobby. Thems da rules set down by "She who must be obeyed; keeper of the royal purse and maker of whoopy time"!!

    And that can be a hit or miss. How many times I got the "Those get that price on Ebay" flapdoodle from sellers. They must like carrying those kits home every night. Are you selling or running a mobile museum? LOL...handling!

    Replacing that formal glass is no fun. The top has to be pealed off and you will find a Mark V glass on the fiberglass buck that is added to the roofline. That glass is held on with clips. Then the top has to be re attached which is akin to reupholstering that top. Expensive to do and not within the realm of do it yerself work unless you are skilled in that.

    It's happening!!!
  7. lordairgtar
    Yes, from 83 or 84 possibly. I had the 83 with a more vertical formal roof and small rear window.

    I was on Ebay and just saw this one and the seller wanted $103.19 for it. It's a current kit for God's sakes. I was looking for a Renwal jordan kit to complete my collection of that series and the dude wanted to start bidding at $300...and it was a very glued up mess.

    XLNT job. Admire your Snake-fu abilities. In the words of every cheesy Kung Fu movie..." You possess great skills, sensei"

    God I'm getting old. I saw all the movies but I don't remember that VW. You'd think I'd remember something that over the top. Of course in those days I was pretty well into recreational pharmaceuticals .

    Something about the side character line bothers me, it seems it slopes downward at a very steep angle when compared to the picture above.

    I have to say about 40 or so. I do have enough unbuilts to stock a small hobby shop though.

    It's sad when leaves a hobby because of eyes or other health reasons. At least he decided to send it off to someone who could continue on.

    Wouldn't that be a cool model kit.
  15. lordairgtar
    The colors are close to what I've seen on the streets of Havana. What the Cubanos have done to their extant American iron is amazing.

    Good start so far.

    I got the 63 Nova wagon kit in a model club raffle last night. Nice kit it seems.

    I have not located a 72. I know there is a 71 Road Runner kit you could use as a basis. It has the the body you need but you have to redo the hood and the trim.

    ...and then the narrator says..."Could it be?? Are Mike And Frank descendants of The Knights Templar??
  20. lordairgtar
    We know it's not spontaneous but it does make the show interesting watching Mike or Frank almost fall through some rotted wood finding an old something or other. I do wonder about Oak Island though...I mean...they seem to find some little bit of leather or an iron object, but nothing of real worth...well...maybe the lead cross from a few years ago. Or the wood they keep find 80 feet below ground. Hmmmm, maybe Mike and Frank will find that treasure.

    Near a park where we hung out as kids in the 70s, we were exploring a creek bed. It went under ground into a culvert. Inside the culvert about 50 feet in was this little odd car. The Subie 360. I think someone either stole the car or abandoned it and drove it in there. Had we been smart, I think we should have pushed it out into the light of day and maybe took it home.

    Still searching for the Buick Riviera boat tail they made. Really hard to come by apparently. I have the little Ford Pickup hot rod and the Chevy box truck that had come with a garage and even a body and chassis of the Chevy van, How that got in there, I'll never know.
  23. lordairgtar
    This one just came in the mail today.
  24. lordairgtar
    Possibly an old PYRO tool?

    I'll admit I like the Picker shows. I just wish they would pick up one of the model car kits I sometimes see and say something about it. They usually pass it over and say nothing. Saw a JoHan Superbird kit in some old lady's attic and nothing was said but they sure looked over the falling apart lamp fixtures like they were golden. Saw the episode the OP was talking about...amazing stuff in that guy's collection.
