Another one of Showrod model history is up. Like and sib if you can Thanks

RIP Fred.......

My latest with some news........ I ordered a model part, it shipped from Mexico. I figured it would take a while. After only one week it showed up in New York Dist center. WOW.... It has now been sitting in Charleston WV dist center since Friday......arriving and departing gaily but not really going the last 100 miles to my house. Kinda SOP....sitting for a week is common now with USPS. But I get a e-mail from Squadron Hobbies today......They will no longer use USPS for ANYTHING. Per a memo on their site USPS is having major system problems at hubs......so they just sit on packages for a week......some have been sitting 2 weeks. Total failure that if they bank I worked for did this, computer outage for more than 3 hours, we'd be shutdown and taken over. FYI

My build of AMT L'il Yeller is up.....with a small twist. Thanks

I do the same on both......

My other hobby of O scale 3r layout. These are old AHM cars I rebuild. Thanks https://youtu.be/FlC_f8nC3_U

That is COOL!! I've thought about doing my own of some lesser known racers.

Forgot I had this one. Pulled it from my vault (basement) Never took photos or shown before. Revell kit box stock other than stance adjustment and after market decals. Tamiya paint. Thanks...like sub if you can

My newest video on showrods is up. Give me a like and Sub if you can. THANKS

This will happen more and more often. They are discovering that these EV batteries are subject to damage just riding around in their vehicles. Bumps and under body damage can cause a 'run away cell' ' that will in the end catch fire. When my brother in law bought a VOLT I told him never park inside. He laughed and then a few weeks later a BIG house burned to the ground near him in Charlotte when their VP:T caught fire. The VOLT lived outside after that. Hope all were OK

VERY COOL!!!! We bought a 84 Mercury Topaz 4 door. NOT a great car. Trans went out at 20K niles. The 2 door Fords were pretty rare although a co-worker of my wifes had a 2 door manual trans car. Kinda like to have it!!

My PC security is blocking your website.......says unsafe......may want to check. Stuff looks great!

Kit, resin, die cast??? Nice work

Being involved in NASCAR from 1984 to 1999......I had hopes for the film. But DoT turned out to be the worst NASCAR based film. 'Last American Hero' was a great film. Talladega Nights' was a comedy and more accurate than DoT. So plez....no sequel for DoT. I did love the cars!!!

I like the Liquor store. Growing up in SoCal there was a store just like that, even the ICE machine, near my house. As 5 year olds me and my buddies would go there because it had a huge candy section. thx

MY UNDERSTANDING: Ertl kept the John Deer tooling as they still had, and have, a license with JD.

Two Fox........... This one is maybe 1% Fox........ This one a little more Fox.....

Did not know that........RIP

WOW....are you going to market those???

Looks like a BuddyL toy steam loco in that first shot....love to have one! Thanks

Thanks for sharing!!! I'll take the black T Sedan.....very Buttera

Bandt did a 69 or 70 but you'd have to look for it as he is not casting now IIRC UPDATE: It was a 70 and he is shutdown for good.

I love road racers of this era!!! You did a GREAT job on this one. Very well done!!!

Nice work!! gotta be a super rare kit

VERY nice clean work!!! NO matter how long it took!!! I have the CUP version of the car in progress since 2004!!! YOU may inspire me to dig it out now ....thanks
