  1. How cool it'd been if they restored the kit back to the 6 in 1 version of the early 1960's.....yes I am dreaming.....
  2. Bet it's unchanged since last issue.....which means it's decent but not accurate to ZZ
  3. Restore it back to the 6 in 1 version....I'll make us decals!!! thx
  4. Nice craftsmanship......
  5. Great build!! Has a coolness about it. Looks like it could be cloned today....
  6. The pre-painted 57 from AMT....not a big fan of 57's but liked this kit....
  7. I can get more obscure than those.......I love this car......
  8. Do you remember the die cast model store at the mall in Pineville??? That was a Spectra idea. That was the pilot store for a chain of like stores. But the DC bubble burst and that was the end of that. The Pineville mall had that cool DC store AND the great model train store at one time.......
  9. I worked was partner in Deb's Model Car Emporium on US 74 Matthews. Spectra was Bob Johnson and Co they had offices off South Blvd in Charlotte. The start of all this was the 500 Black die cast Thunderbirds we needed for a project. 500 alone was not viable coat wise so we decided to make alrger runs of the black and white.....making them affordable. Before the whole thing ended we did Pontiacs and Lumina too. Good old days....
  10. My favorite....showrods!!! A few of mie.....
  11. I'm not sure what your questions is .....but I use Chrome at home and phone so it syncs up as if I am using one device.
  12. We have this outage about once a year.......down about 2 weeks each time.....
  13. Don't worry........I......forgot what I was going to say!!!
  14. My cats LOVE boxes.....I call them 'box inspectors' as they have to check out all boxes.....then take a nap in one..... Good lookin cats guys!!!!
  15. The Lincoln is not curbside....not the issue I have with retro box.....
  16. I like it all!!! Color, idea....craftsmanship...
  17. WOW...love it
  18. Those are pretty common. Here is the story if you want to know. I was partner in a hobby shop in Charlotte NC. We started getting race teams and marketing companies calling and visiting wanting to get short runs of models made for sponsorship proposals or even corporate gifts. We had worked with Bob Johnson then at Revell. We worked it out that they would run 5K Thunderbirds in white and 5K in black. (we did the Lumina later too) We took a good number of them.....we even made 500 Trop Artic #66 for Phillips. A vast number of them were sold through our store. We wholesaled to many stores so they can be found all over. If I had to give a value I'd say about $5 or so.....
  19. Clear out some of your old post with photos......works for me...
  20. One of my customers asked if I cared that he modified the body, some small corrections, and re-cast.....but it never happened. Resin biz is tough!!
  21. Sorry no.......I sold a TON of them at one time. I scrounged together a kit not long ago but that was all I had left. thx
  22. Nice spin!!
  23. We do not have street addresses here, they did give us what they cal 911 address but UPS. FedEx and USPS say the addresses do not exist. So it is REALLY frustrating when companies will not sell to you and statements that make it seem like every PO Box user is some scammer.
