  1. FYI the Chevys are MPC promos.......All are good. Look up values on ebay for what they sold for recently....that's the going values.
  2. The perfect storm.........most paper is now made in China......and a few years ago someone was permitted to patent decal paper, a process around since the 1800's, and ran all USA makers out of biz. Greed
  3. Brian / Walker on the box would not be good. I think there is still litigation going on around his crash/death. Understandable why they passed.
  4. I want one to go with other FnF models!! Thx for the info!!!
  5. Got mine Friday, what a great kit. Tons of stuff......We need to support these guys!
  6. In 2022 NASCAR teams will NOT be able to build chassis, can NOT hang bodies, vast majority of the car is locked in. Engine tech has not changed greatly since they won the Championship in 2012 so bring an engine and drop it in a generic Cup car. Pretty simple. It would be nice to have 4 manufactures in the series. In 1988 we had FIVE!
  7. Sold my a Daytona Transporter for a decent price last weekend.....good timing!
  8. We had no cell service until 3-4 years ago.......I loved it!!!!! And about ten miles north is a Federal Dark Zone....no cell, WiFi or microwaves!!!! Before we got cell service in part of our area people would run into my son's retail store.....'WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CELL PHONES?!?!?!?' My son would feed their panic Dang Russians!!!!! then duck under the counter.
  9. I don't use FaceSpace....the only thing I see it do is start slap fights among adults as if they were 12 years old. It's a dying platform so allow it to pass on alone.....
  10. Well done!
  11. That one is in my stash.....you did VERY well!!!!
  12. Looks like a engine and T body and tires from AMT parts pack and you have two models!!
  13. Our Ollies is in Fairlia WV....not much smaller than that. We get 90% of what everyone else gets....I think it's just luck of the draw. Ollies send 20 cases of kits to each store....the mix is pot luck! I bet since the kit dump started I have bought 50 kits.....some of mine have a $5.99 price one them....which is what they were the first dump.
  14. You are going much higher tech than I. My goal was a Mustang that Shelby aimed at a market that wanted a street car that was closer to a racer. Mine has a 302 crate motor, 4 sp top loader, radio delete....no power anything. Classic Daisy wheels. Disks added to replace the 4 drums. Ford Avalanche Gray paint. LOVE to see yours but it looks like you are 3000 miles away....maybe mu next CA visit!!!
  15. Sorry to go OT first post but this topic caught my eye and when you said 1/1 project I had to ask. Is that your car in your avatar?? I ask as I have a 1/1 tribute 66 GT350 set up as a street R model.....and I build a lot of Mustang models.....so I had to ask! thx
  16. The Revell Chevy SS tooling is in China and 49% owned by the Chinese Govmt.......a very difficult web to untangle. They would come out cheaper cloning the Revell kit.....I'll provide the kit if they want.
  17. EXACTLY what I said back when the 2021 version was announced.....yet I got beat up for that opinion, and doubted the 2021 would happen.....looks like it will not!
  18. SO.....is the promised 2021 Camaro NASCAR Cup car NOT going to be done???? When I spoke out that it seemed odd to kit a car that would be obsolete by the time it hit shelves....I took a real beating as being negative........?
  19. Some people online are saying parts for Moon Eyes build are missing from kit......they did not say which.....anyone that has one???
  20. IIRC those wheels came from the Starsky and Hutch Torino.......that or parts box......either way American Slots.
  21. Very well done! I have two of these kits....I want to build a version of the General post war with more of a simple color scheme and detail differences.
  22. LOTS of extra goodies........Atlantis is looking VERY smart right now. Not having to wait for a container from ASIA, huge cost increases......that bid for the Revell Monogram tooling is looking like the move of the century!
