Calb56( Charles) the forum is only as good as the members here! Remember birds of the feather flock together. Lots of good members here! Model building is about relaxation, camaraderie, friendships, and most importantly FUN!! If it isn't fun, it is not worth doing it!

Welcome Kurt, I was there on a cruise ship stop many moons ago. Beautiful! Welcome to the forum! Show us your builds!

1930ford pickup you are invited too! . probably a 1.5 hr. drive north for you. This month is the club auction! Hope to see you there

No but Corgi made a 1/32? diecast of the car in gold

Little Motor Car Co does it, Geno. LMCC 610 779 1462 -Dale Horner is the owner or e-mail at lmkco@outlook.com

Welcome Erich, if you ever have a free 3rd Friday of the month, Drive into Dearborn, Michigan. We meet at the Dearborn Ice Skating Rink on Ford Road from 6pm to 8pm. We have built models on display, model car swaps at every table and a general model meeting among members. This is your free invite! Look up Downriver Model Car Club on Facebook. It's a 2-hr. drive from Marshall but it will be worth it. We have about 75 members. See you soon!

Well she can always offer the products she gets at Hobby lobby for resale to them. Just charge enough postage to make it worthwhile. Beginning of a new business?

Way better than the Foose Goose real car. Very radical but Fabulous! Kar Kraft in Brighton, Mi ( they built the Boss 429 Mustangs for FoMoco )built one prototype 1969 Boss 429 rear engine car. So, this could have been possible! I like it!

Do the Simone Museum in Philly, also. Get a Philley cheese steak (YUM!) sandwich.

OK Eran, then peruse estate sales for people's personal vehicles! For sure do the Imperial Palace Collection in Las Vegas if it is still there. Lots of vehicles for sale in there. Sorry, I processed it about models instead of real cars! I must have models on the Brain.

eran_k, If you are model hunting in the USA, check out the antique malls in your area you are staying, Also, local Estate sales, automotive swap meets, flea markets and church sales. Contact local model clubs in your visiting area and find out when they meet, time, date, location, etc. Most guys will bring their extra stuff from their stashes to peddle for cash. Ask the hobby shops if they know of any collectors selling their collections. Keep the faith, you will find something I'm sure of it! When you have no leads, go freestyle like on "American Pickers". Ask the local people about the areas you are going into for your safety. They also know the good cheap places to eat! Good luck in your hunt!

Tim Boyd , Are you hinting that the old Renwal modern classic series is coming back? The Stutz , Mercer, Bugatti, etc?/

Mikemich, think of it this way, the parts are worth more than the sum of the whole car. I am not saying to separate the parts on the promos. But if I needed the front and rear bumpers, glass and steering wheel for a model it probably be cheaper for me to buy a parts car or warped promo with all of the parts I need than buying them separate. If it does not sell as a whole warped promo on e-pay. then separate the parts off it and sell them that way. Always have a backup plan. Good luck!

As us Hillbillies say in Highland, Mi '''There is more than one way to skin a cat "and get the same results/ goals.

ace garage guy, That would make a good creative model for good laughs at a mortuary convention.LOL

Let's see, they tore down the Pontiac Silverdome to build an Amazon distribution center there, maybe they are clearing the land for a new development (trucking stop/ depot) for the truck traffic on the future Gordie Howe Bridge to Canada?

My mouth is watering! Look at all those strippable bodies for the purple pond! Nice find/ buy Jeff, enjoy!

Take the money, relax, and enjoy yourself for a while (1 month) Month 2- figure out what interests you and go try that out. Month 3- sign up for a 3d printing class or body work class or night school on what you like. Month 4 -get you resume together so that when the money runs out you are ready to work! Month5 - volunteer in any subjects you'd like to try out to see if you really like it. Month 6- you will be ready for reentering the work force on what you want to do! Don't get fat, don't get discouraged, and keep you work ethic that you have. It will be Spring, and work/ employment goes up in Spring! Also network with everyone you meet everywhere. You never know who you will run in to. God is giving you this time to change your career. Ask God to direct you for your new career! He is never wrong! God Bless and Good luck in your search!

Simple and easy construction, Joe. This should be in the Model Cars Magazine. How about it, Greg?

Nice job joe! My motto is do it right the 1st time! You followed that to a tee! Enjoy, the hard part is done!

He was a trend setter that's for sure. I saw his video he made with the 65stang drift car. It lit a fire in me to no avail! I was an instant fan! May God Bless him and his family! Maybee the 164-year-old daughter will follow in his footsteps! We can only hope!

Mattilacken, these were all from the 1988 MPC versions.

Oh, now I have to unload all those test shot bodies before 2nd quarter 2023. Got some work to do!

Mr. Metallic, I think you meant to say 55 chevy................................

Just got an e-mail from Hobby Lobby on their latest ad. They have clearance on hobbies up to 80 percent, on-line. I checked it out! All the kits listed in clearance are at the 40 percent off level! This is on-line and not in the store. Most kits were the ones by Amt, and Revell with the newest box art, that were slow sellers that modelers already had or are not interested in. If you don't have a Hobby Lobby close to you and want to order on-line, now is the time to stock up for the winter building season! Good Luck in your hunt! Merry Christmas!
