  1. Same from me...god bless them all prayers will be coming.
  2. I have 2 67 Cadillac Coupe Deville HT promos from my dads old stuff but sadly they both need a lot..sorry no photos of them. They need body,glass,bumpers,wheels,taillights to restore them. I also have a Johan 68 Coupe DeVille HT...needs glass and body though...bummer.
  3. Things I hate.... Trying to find the much needed parts to restore them. Chassis screws always seem to be missing. Needing 70s series width white wall tires and none for them. Doing weeks worth of bodywork just to have a bad can of paint ruin it all when you have to strip it. Things I love.... 60s and 70s models and promos. Johan snap kits. Building keeps me from living a bored life. The satisfaction of restoring an old kit or promo. Building vehicles the family owned when I can find them. My brother modelers.
  4. Our truck left me stranded yesterday.... ...guessing it lost spark had plenty of fuel.
  5. OUCH...! been there done that...a few years ago I almost cut my thumb of with a razor knife tool. Any kit can be built...one just might not like it or it might not be a good one but they all can be built...there are times where id build anything just to kill being bored.
  6. Welcome Cliff.... . I have been at it all my life...kits,restorations,promos,etc.
  7. Shame they do not do the Bates house in 1/25th scale.
  8. Me I am a mostly HT kind of guy but all those are cool.
  9. Mine built very well...would build more of them.
  10. I like the quad headlight version too...cant remember having any real problems with my last one I built.
  11. Matt....hang in there buddy things will get better for you in time...sounds like you have had a touch of my kind of luck.
  12. I thought it was Bill....molded in blue body is not too bad off but the roof part is shot...be nice to find a kit part for it...it still has the hood ornament.
  13. Id like to find the Johan snap kit Javlen or AMX kit....never could find one in decent shape reasonable.
  14. I have one too Charlie...its molded in blue a HT with a metal chassis but the roof part is shot....think its a promo?
  15. I have never sold one of my builds...traded a few over the years and built some for others to have for free. Shipping is always a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH shoot....they ether get there ok or not some people just do not care on the job and have no respect. Usually if someone sends me something for myself Ill have it the rest of my life and will be part of my collection...a friend of mine passed and he left his collection to me about 15 years ago...still have all of them.
  16. Nice!... I have that one with a metal chassis...roof part warped cracked and brittle though.
  17. Nice Tom...always liked the old iron wheels for their looks.
  18. Darren.... wish i would have been here they would have gotten a surprise from me... Worst thing is they are family items that cant be replaced for the most part...ones still here could be saved if I could find the needed parts and the list is huge.
  19. Most of my old childhood ones are gone or damaged badly...a few years ago just before Christmas i left to go to a doctor visit and came home to an open door which was locked when I left. Many boxes of them were taken a long with some of my dads oldies and promos...others were tossed,stepped on in their rush I guess?....
  20. Nice... ...we use to own a 74? AMX years ago. Never could find the Johan snap kit of it though or a promo,kit. I do think AMT made a kit of it once a long time ago?
  21. I like it...pretty cool. I like odd stuff...matches me....
