Nice! I think the Falcon Ranchero and the 1968 Cadillac are my favorites.
-
Really nice, just keep updating us. I love it!
-
Never heard of it, where do you buy it?
-
Amazing skill!

Quite a nice collection!

Sounds like you have your hands full in a good way!

Nice!

Amazingly clean work!

I don't build a lot as my work space is a 36x24 stand up shelf wedged between the dryer and the wall. My current obsession is hot rod/track rat Porsches. They aren't the most accurate or detailed, but I 'm building for fun so that's good enough for me. I built 3 of the Monogram curbsides, 1 Tamiya GT3 and a Revell 911 that I just finished today. The solid grey one is my favorite as it represents what I'd like to have as a daily driver. It features deep dish steelies and is de-winged. I just inventoried and I still have 4 more Monogram curbsides, another Tamiya GT3, 3 Revells and a Fujimi for the new year. Anyway, here's my 2018's!

Right Hand Drive Dashboards for 911s?
oldcarfan replied to oldcarfan's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Thanks, I may try to convert one if I can't find one of these at a decent price. -
One Of My Holy Grails Found!
oldcarfan replied to oldcarfan's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I don't like to buy recasts, but since it hasn't been available for years, I took a chance. -
I've been buying and even building Porsche 911 this year. Just for variation I'd like to find a right hand drive dash for some of them. Most of the kits I have are 1/24th, such as the Revell Turbo Coupe. Anyone have one available? A related question; I've heard the street stock Tamiya 1988 Turbo Coupe has both a left and right hand dash. I've watched the YouTube videos and it doesn't look like it has one. Can anyone confirm that?
-
Glad to see you here! We all build what we wish we could have in 1:1. If I could I would have a garage full of 911s. That won't happen so I'm building my dream cars in 1:24th. Have fun with them!

One Of My Holy Grails Found!

Just now I realized I need to buy another '55 Chevy truck. I forgot I built the last one a while back. -
Any old Hubley metal builders out there?
oldcarfan replied to greg133's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There are several Facebook clubs that specialize in model car sales. You might join one of those and try there. The advantage is there are no eBay fees, it is all direct sales between you and the buyer/seller. I've had good luck so far. -
Promo style chassises
oldcarfan replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There was a time when I would tear into a Fujimi Enthusiast kit or an old Revell kit. I loved all the little parts and all the tiny, delicate detail. Not anymore, now I like a nice simple kit that I can put together without too much hassle. Promo chassis are fine for these tired eyes! -
One Of My Holy Grails Found!

I think he's selling multiples of it. The last one I found went for twice the price, so I'm happy. -
I've been looking for a 1955-1957 GMC conversion for a while. I've searched eBay off and on for a couple of years and tonight I found one at a good price and jumped on it. I can't tell much from the picture but decided to take a chance. Here's a screen cap.

The future of offroading?
oldcarfan replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's not bad looking, but a full electric is nothing more than a glorified golf cart. I'm picturing a small accessory trailer with a Home Depot generator on it to power the truck for any kind of extended trip! -
Sometimes I hate Hobby Lobby

Mine never got those, so I hope they will have them soon! -

A Maverick and a Vega would be good as the original kits don't exist anymore except as high-priced eBay fodder. To make the tooling go further, I would want to see a stock version as well as a drag version. Start with the 1970 version and the tool could be updated to make the facelift 1974-up versions later.

Model A p/u
oldcarfan replied to junkyardjeff's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I tried to build this as a kid back when it was orange, then a couple of years ago I bought this release and built it again. I learned the lesson and glued everything closed too. -
My grandma bought a new 1971 after my grandpa died and drove it for several years with no trouble. She then traded it for a new Cordoba and later a Volare. She seemed to have a thing for malaise!
