This weekends workbench, side of my computer again. Nick

Went to the scrapyard today, found a few things, left with $10 less than I went in with, I saw the same factory bumper jack go for $300 on Ebay, I'm happy, started cleaning it and It actually still works Perfectly! Nick

Going to maybe start on it this weekend, need to finish up two others I have 80% finished while waiting on my parts to come. Nick

Added a few new entries to the list. 38 different Builders and a total of 41 entries. I'm impressed to say the least. Nick

In '04 I was buying newly reissued AMT kits for around $10 give or take a few dollars and cents. Nick

Born in '95, the following weren't true for me. 2. Revell and Monogram have always been the same company. (When I first started it was Revell Monogram) 7. You could always find nearly any model kit you wanted on eBay. (I never used Ebay until about two years ago, and have hated it since) 11. there have always been internet forums. (they might have existed, but I've only been on them for the last few years) 14. there has always been Bare metal foil and Alclad. (I only ever started hearing about it in the last year or two) 19. they have always gotten same day, (and in some cases real-time) notification of new release announcements. (I only ever found out about new releases when they were on the shelfs until about 3 years ago. Nick

The cab is an original '68 cab but I could only find a resin '69 grille for it, Sean Stacey cast it. Nick

This is my workbench tonight, watching some TV episodes I have on my PC and working on my latest project.

Saw this on one of the Mopar forums I frequent. Nick

Was excellent to meet you finally Peter. Nick

Yes but my definition and yours differ. Nick

Still waiting on Parts, I was told they shipped last week, so we'll see. Gives me time to do a few quick restorations I had planned. Nick

440 is too expensive, this one is my cruiser on nice sunny days, next one will be rodded.

Goes to a model show wearing Mopar racing shirt, buys Mopar 1:1 parts and a Mopar kit, mission successful. I was actually able to depress one of the valve springs fairly easily, so I think I'll be alright. 1971 340 J Code heads will be hot tanked and disassembled then sent to my machinist who will Magnuflux them among other things. Couldn't resist the '69 GTX for $7 Sealed inside. Nick

Had a great day, drive in was nice, got to meet quite a few people from FB and a few guys from here. Excellent show with a great Turnout this year, last time I checked with Tony, over 800 people threw the door (not counting staff and vendors) and over 500 entries in the various classes. A few of my favorites, the rest are at the link below. Nick

There was 20 kits in the series if I remember right. Nick

It's still not a horrible kit, as a builder it's not like every revell fits perfectly either, it is nice when put together. Nick

Everyone Rags on AMT, I love them, Top AMT Muscle cars I can think of: '68 RoadRunner/ '69 GTX (hardtop & Convertible are nice) '70 Coronet Superbee '70 1/2 Camaro (Z/28 & Baldwin Motion are nice) '69 Olds 4-4-2 (W30 & Hurst are both great) '71 Duster 340 '71 Charger R/T '66 Nova '66 Fairlane (Gt/GTA & 427 versions are nice) '67 Mustang Gt '67 Mercury Comet I'm probably forgetting a few, I have, had or have built all of these

Looks good so far. Nick

Thanks Mike. Nick

Thanks Guys. Nick

I did, sent you a PM about it, thanks. Thanks Guys.

Nick 3 and out.

The '69 Coupe is a parts box build using the left overs of the above car and some parts box raiding.

The Butternut yellow RS/SS started out as a built up I bought off a friend at the Group 25 Fall show and kitbashed with the Revell '69 Yenko 427, to build a nicely detailed RS/SS 396 with the 350 HP 396 Big Block. I changed the rolling stock to the Magnum 500's from the AMT '70 Chevelle, the Polyglas just seemed perfect.
