    I finally visited an Ollie's about an hour away from me because my wife had an appointment and left me with some time to kill. Although I bought 3 of the Monogram "made for Ollie's" kits (the 57 Nomad, 56 Chevy and 32 Ford Street Rod), I never need to visit that place again. The cashier was surly and the entire place was filthy and reeked of desperation.

    Simply amazing.

    I weaned myself from network tv long ago. Now I can't stand the incessant yammering. If Youtube doesn't stop messing around I'm going to leave them high and dry too. My sympathies to all the streamers that make their living from Youtube, but I'm not going to watch commercials. I've had a lifetime's worth of them.

    Have to say the show is not about the making of the game. It's about a kid who played the game and got to race for real.

    I played the heck out of all those Gran Turismo games. Then my kids moved away, and I didn't feel like playing by myself so much. Lots of fond memories for that game. There is a new show on Netflix about the making of the game. I'm getting ready to watch it.

    Well, he hasn't been here for 5 years so I don't think we'll ever know.

    Good for you for not taking advantage of the guy. Nice score!

    Uh-oh, I didn’t know that existed. I have a 1:1 trailer like that to drag around my side by side. I may need to pick one up.

    Very cool! Is that chassis from the Exterminator kit?

    Oh, baby! Nice truck!

    I grabbed one right after they were reissued. I didn't want to wait and be victimized by the eBay sellers.

    I love the little Anglia!

    They don't have junk shops like that where I am...wow!

    Having a wife that not only tolerates your hobby but encourages it as well is priceless.

    What a great haul and a good price too. What are your plans for these? I can see many hours of entertainment whatever you decide.
  16. redscampi
    Love it!
  17. redscampi
    Man that is cool! ?
  18. redscampi
    Yeah, that would have been ideal, but no, I don't have it.

    Man, ain't it the truth! Built up glue bombs should be CHEAP!

    This is stellar! Now you need the support vehicles...

    Sounds workable but this may be beyond my skill set. I'd probably end up with something looking like Chubbs's hand in Happy Gilmore.

    Yeah I think the 63 hardtop is what I was remembering without posts. The rear roof line is quite different. Thanks! There are definitely stress cracks in the glass. I do have two or three coke Rancheros to use so front glass is covered. My 61 Falcon glass has the same issue as this to a lesser extent. I also have a red 62 that the entire roof is gone from so it will become a convertible. May be time for a few more Walmart Ranchero donors. Finding any kit for a buck is a good day. Finding one you really want is a great day!

    Tasty set of models! The 56 is my favorite of the bunch.
  24. redscampi
    I like the idea! I am really attracted to resto-rods that don’t mess too much with the original styling. Stance and rolling stock are the key elements.

    Bill, I am in awe of that appropriately named Phoenix. Hope to see it finished someday. I may try your layered styrene approach on this. Very tempted because even though they’re cheap and plentiful, the little Ranchero kits are cool and I’d hate to waste one. I guess I can save that for a backup plan if I can’t manage to carve something acceptable.
