disabled modeler

For me its my dads old models...they may need a lot but there gold to me.

WOW...tell him I said he did good its cool!

Budget....what budget?...I haven't had one since June of 1996.

If they were of the mid 60s to early 70s body styles I might be interested Rodney...shame there not.

Love it....very nice clean build!

Yes....I have done it many times but never to an old or rare promo that might be able to be saved those I restore. If there damaged or easily got cheap anywhere I make models out of them both curbside and with engines,etc. AND STILL LOOKING FOR MORE. to save/restore or make models from. Some of the earlier promos were made of a plastic that tended to warp badly...they never come back to my experience ether and those types the dip tank is a no no...the plastic cracks and gets soft and useless.

I am with Junkman here...that Wagoneer would be SWEET!!!!!

Having no hobby shops and a very small income I get many of mine from garage sales and second hand stores...the cost of the kit plus shipping these days keep me from ordering kits on line and sometimes you find some really nice rare items.

I currently have no avatar not computer savvy enough to add one yet...LOL... User name kind of says it all for me...in June of 96 I was in a really bad car accident and became disabled...sometimes my building style is too...LOL...

I've built many one at a time before but find its getting harder to while the paint dries and the ideas come. I have many project I need to get done but get sidetracked needing a part or paint,glue,etc. then while looking for it I come up with new ideas for builds.

Hi Kristina....welcome! Yes you did come to the right place...there are many great people here who you can get help and information from,tips,etc. The Revell kit is the closest thing you will find on a budget and if your careful and take your time you can build it into a convertible. And a very honorable project you have in mind...I am sure he will love it!

NICE Ed!

Welcome Randy!....nice work!

Nice...I like it.

I was just playing around with the idea of trying to build one...cant afford the resins.

Any ideas thinking it might have been the 73 Cougar and 69 Torino kits?

Id love to build the crew cab pickup...looks sweet.

Awesome work!

SWEET!!!!!

Nice haul...some people have all the luck...LOL... Smug Bug is sweet!

Very nice!

I got an old (68) barracuda formula S build up missing bumpers,grilles....and a bad cold.

It looks to be a 64 Bonneville wagon...man Id love to build one like my mom use to drive .

Very nice!

I am very sorry to hear that Darin...you and your family have my deepest sympathy from the heart. God bless and take care of you all. Mark
