  1. Claude, What is in the water in Quebec city? no seriously, This is a Kool and clean build and with scraps from the parts box? I can see you in the Mancave all winter long with many projects. This is truly a creative work of modeler's art!
  2. Beautiful build Brianl!
  3. This should be built as a 1:1 vehicle for the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Chip Foose are you listening?
  4. Tom, what color did you use on your carb, (it looks real). or is it custom mixed?
  5. I have this kit in a different box , body is pretty good ! Reminds me of the 71 GTO MPC promo body. When you look under the hood part of the one piece body, it even has the same or similar mold parting line! I'll have to test fit the 1972 MPC GTO kit and see how far off it is? If I remember correctly it comes with the correct 71 GTO spoiler also. The Dousha kit interior is not deep at all but has the semi correct headrests in it?.It has a slot cat depth to it .Chassis has no detail to it!I will check it tonight!
  6. Maybe this magazine needs to look at Magcloud to really get it going again!
  7. Right on, Dave Van Right on! . Making money is the name of the game!
  8. The production date on the bottom of the kits is 7/1/2020.This must be a run of kits just for Ollie's to sell. Maybe it is sold to Ollie's and then the cash goes to pay off the tooling bill to Rc2/ Tomy?. Round 2 did this last year also! Also look on the website, they are opening up new stores in different states!!!
  9. I checked my local stores to scout them, see what aisle they will be in to save time looking for them in the sale product presentation. The Ypsilanti store on Ellsworth rd had the Lindberg" Big Red Rod" kits at $ 39.95.The price has dropped $10.00 from 6 weeks ago, since people found out the chrome wasn't plated. The store had about 10-12 left when I left. Happy hunting!
  10. OK boys the next sale at Ollies starts on the 29th of October 2020. Their flyer showed Amt, Hawk, Lindberg and Revell? stuff. Get out there and scout those locations early! Maybe they will set up for the ad late Wednesday night! YOU have been notified!
  11. Faust, try J-bar hobbies in Tecumseh, Mi .It is like another Ashbrooks. just off us 23 , 1 hour southwest of Novi, Mi> Enjoy it when you return after the Covid lock down!
  12. sorry Faust, my subscription to auction news lapsed.And since the Covid 19 hit haven't been driving around as much ! I will try to find you a new place to go when and if? this is is all over? Red cedar antiques in williamston, mi is a cool place. hit or miss on stuff!
  13. Thank you, Mr Cohen for taking us back down memory lane! Love it!
  14. Now we need a 50 percent off coupon from Michaels! A 40 or 20 percent off might work too!
  15. Everything "old " is "new ' again. These cars remind me of the merry-go-round cars, that we sat in as kids.Good one lordairgtar!
  16. Welcome, i think i bought parts from you at the Kalamazoo show in May or November, last year.You gave me your e-bay selling name! Guys this man is the real deal and has parts galore for sale at a show! He is a good man!!!
  17. Just bought a Big Red Rod and opened it. It doesn't have the chrome on the tree for the chrome parts.The "chrome "tree is molded in a grey plastic. That's probably why they are 50.00. Was it was a mistake in production and the previous retailer didn't want to eat the returns by customers? Or after J. Lloyd 's divorce they skipped the chrome plating step and just boxed them to sell ? Oh well I guess that's what Alcad or Molotov pens are for !!
  18. Ron cash did a resin model of it as a hardtop Years ago. I don't have any pics of it! OK YOU OLDTIMERS, SHOW us YOUR RESIN STASHES OF IT!
  19. 1969 boss 302 kit chassis should work, also maybe the amt 1967 Shelby gt350 chassis? both kits are at Hobby Lobby now or post an ad in the" wanted" section??
  20. LCDM, go to the hardware store in your area. take the plastic axle with you , ask them for sprinkler markers, or for the wire that holds insulation in the attic, etc. if you have that in Australia? Just walk around a hardware store and look for same size wire, (as your plastic axle) . Also some wire to tie dry flowers together will work. Check out a craft shop for that also.Good luck hunting!
  21. AFTER YOU STRIP THE CHROME DROP IT IN THE PURPLE POND! IT REMOVES THE DECALS AND ALSO CLEANS UP THE OLD PLASTIC!
  22. Kurt , the restored car shows a moon tank below the side exhaust. Google Jim Lytle "Quad Al" Dragster , there is a nice Utube video of it!
  23. Snake, build a one of none, Superbird convertible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. I see we have a new "Gerald Wingrove "modeler here . Awesome stuff more photo's please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to meet Tim Haugland!!!!!
