If I'm buying a vintage kit, I prefer it to be already opened so I can check for missing parts. There used to be some unscrupulous sellers who would advertise sealed in box kits for a premium. It turned out they had shrink wrappers and would fake it. When when you bought it and opened it later it was a box with scrap parts.

Nice job. Where did you get the rooftop cargo, that really sets it off!

I need some of those as well!

No pictures as they are being shipped but I ordered yet another Monogram Porsche 911 curbside and a Skip's Fiesta VW convertible built-up. Never had the VW before and mostly got it for the Porsche Fuchs wheels it has. There was a break between Sunday School and Big Church so I was surfing the auction site. My wife can't get mad at me because we were at church, right?

It was soooo tempting, LOL, but no, I got the light blue one.

I finished one of my favorite kits from childhood! It's the Monogram 1/24th curbside from the 70s. I've bought several of these on eBay and actually have a couple more on the way. I've also started collecting other 911s as I find good deals. I bought a bunch of the Monogram full detail kits when HL did their clearance on them and I have a few Tamiya versions and one of the Fujimi ones (yikes) waiting in the wings. Anyway this one is built boxstock as a baseline. The color is Krylon Citrus Green which is similar to one of the mid 70s Porsche colors. I have other versions in mind for the future. (Note, I realized that I left the exhaust off and the license plate is crooked. Those will be fixed soon. Right now I'm just happy to finish something.

I bought one at Hobby Lobby with the 40% coupon. They were out of them in the hobby section but they had the same ones in different colors in the sewing area.

When I was little, drug stores, dime stores and even grocery stores had a decent selection of kits. My grandmother had a small dime store for a while, but all she stocked were Palmer kits.

That's really cool!

Michael's will match Hobby Lobby coupons but Hobby Lobby won't take Michael's coupons. Really, the only reason to shop at either is for the coupon discount.

Not designed as a kit car kit, but I have an extra Countach kit that is missing the engine and I have been thinking of building it as a kit car version. Maybe with a NASCAR V-8 or something.

I've used a couple of times. 3 years and it hasn't yellowed.

Has he dropped his line of wheels and tires?

1958 Ford Pickup truck? If only.... Sigh..

We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

Really nice. I almost bought that El Camino yesterday. I put it back because they had just gotten the Lindberg Owens Custom Cruiser. I may have to sneak back and get the El Camino as well.

How much do you charge to put one of these things together? LOL. I love the car, not so much the kit..Anyway, you can always LS it. There's lots of Chevy engines available... Ow, quit hitting me!

I don't think there are any rules on titles. My personal rule is to just make it clear so people know what I'm saying. LOL. I've like the Fujimi 911s because they have such great bodies, but I like the Monogram Revell 911s for everything else.

I love this. I've been collevcting Porsche models since I can't have a real one. Been working out ideas like this. Have fun, you are doing excellent!

Last weekend my wife wanted to go to Hobby Lobby for fabric. I checked out the clearance aisle and there was a Higgins 2mm India Ink pen on clearance for $2.75. I got it just because. Now I'm wondering if it might be good for panel lines and such. 2mm is pretty wide I know. Is India Ink a forgiving material? I have used fine tip Sharpies but if you slip, it is hard to clean up the mistake.

I really hope to see this one!

Not been off-road, but there was this really gnarly speed bump at Walmart...

I looked and mine is back too.

Love what you are doing!

I bought two of this kit last year, one to build stock and the other to build like you are doing. Love the inspiration.
