REALLY cool builds, LOVE the Vanagon/Westy!

NICE builds!

Thanks guys ??

I didn't hit the workbench much this year, but I did get one built in the first month or so, LOL, box stock AMT '69 Oldsmobile 442, wishing everyone a great (and much better) new year! ?✌ (and hopefully I'll get in the hobby room a few more times next year than I did this year ?)

I bought a Tamiya Mustang GT4 kit from a seller on eBay ($42.61 before shipping fees) and paid on 11-10. By the 19th, with it still not showing as shipped, I sent a message to the seller asking if it had been. They then tell me "Oh, we sent you an email several days ago telling you that we need to cancel the order", they had not BTW (I checked, including checking my spam folder). They did send me a new invoice though, showing "what I'd need to pay to still get the kit, and to get a refund on the first order" (a kit that I had already paid in full via PayPal mind you)...so I asked for a refund. No response from them, and within a day they had closed their eBay account. So I contacted eBay, who could clearly see that I had been ripped off, and eBay closed the case with no refund or help whatsoever on Thanksgiving day, so I contacted PayPal then and filed a case, they're (PayPal) saying "we're attempting to contact the seller, we should make a decision on your case by December 10".... So I was ripped off (theft/fraud, which is a crime regardless of how small), eBay received their % from the sale from the seller, eBay knows that I was ripped off and refused to honor their "buyer's protection" policies, as far as I'm concerned, as they've profited off of that petty crime they're just as guilty themselves (a friend of mine who's a Judge agrees with me, it's a shame that it's too small to bother taking to court, LOL). So I guess I'll have to wait until the 1 full month point to find out if PayPal screws me over too, I'll be shocked if I get my money back (from either place, eBay or PP, both of which claim they have buyer protections for problems like this), SMH. Buyer beware, eBay doesn't always protect their buyers, even when they're long time members and Veterans (which they knew as well). ?

I agree, engine looks awesome, Mike!

Sweet!

Looking awesome, Mike (and the story's great too )

Excellent work!

This is a cool project, looking forward to seeing more! Cool on the old Honda XL (well...it wasn't old then, LOL!), I've owned a few XL's and XR's (and XR250L's/XR650L's, CRFL's and X's, and currently a daily ridden year round CB500X ), I'd love to have a clean one now too

Pure unadulterated awesomeness ???
