David, thats funny you bring this, I just started working a track saftey truck Here is something to keep in mind, that alot of the track vehicles will travel to other race tracks, ISC does that, so a truck you see at Daytona, you might see at Phoenix Intl Raceway. Here are a few of the trucks that are at PIR( same owners as Daytona) This one is from Auto Club speedway (ISC track)

martinfan5 posted a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thats right, 1,183 horse power in a Shelby GT500 Mustang, only 100 will be made and if you have $ 153,000 to spend , you might be able to get one http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/shelby-mustang-gt500-sc-1000-revealed-2013-03-26 -

Well with the few GT3 and road race builds going on here, I figured I would start one as well. Its one of the new release's from Fujimi, its the Merc SLS AMG GT3 race car, there are two verison of the kit, and the one I bought is a non livery version, I am pretty sure the paint will be silver of some sorts, this kit does come with a basic P/E set . And the P/E set Started working on the brakes And front and rear suspension attached to the chassis

Model Prices Swap Meet VS Ebay?
martinfan5 replied to DailyGrindCustoms's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Using "Pawn Stars" as an exapmle may not be a good idea, all the stuff people bring in are props that the prducers give people waitning inline outside the store, and all the haggeling is all scrpited, the only real thing about the show is that is flimed inside the pawn store, and the employees are real, everything esle is all Hollywood -
Ray, the one I am getting is not the ones that are like you got, or the ones I can get now, its the stock verion, and it has LHD option as well, its a very long OOP kit

Nice job -
True, but It has better engine detail then the Fujimi version does I remember one issue I had with mine, it was with the engine cover hinges, I could not get the engine cover to sit flush , and never determined the issue, so I had ended up taking them off

I know I am quoting myself But guess what I got today, and email from Ebay telling me that tracking info was updated

This is what I came home with from the first of our three model swap meets for the year, overall, there really was not much that jump out and I had to have, I got the Alfa kit for $20 , I am happy about that, and the NASCAR kit was free, it was given to me by a fellow club member , very nice of him

Model Prices Swap Meet VS Ebay?
martinfan5 replied to DailyGrindCustoms's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It all depends, I am going to use our model swap meets we have here in town as an example, but almost all the kits sold are in around the $10 mark, some kits sell for a little bit more, some a little less, if its a common kit, then chances are its going to be selling for under the $10 mark. I can go to our swap meets here, and take $100, and buy ten kits, or more, it most case's , for the common kits, you can compare the prices to Ebay, just minus the shipping. -
I guess I will share one of my few bad seller experience's, I been trying to get my hands on the Aoshima stock Toyota Hilux kits, well a seller had one, going for $55, which is not a bad price, but he had the make and offer, so I did, we went back and fourth, and he accepted my offer of $42, yay me I was thinking. I paid the seller on 2-23, a week later, I sent him a message about some other items of his , and thats when I found out he had not shipped out the kit yet, he gave me some story that his account had been compromised and he didn't know that I paid for the kit yet, hmmm, yeah sure whatever, but ok, he said he would have it shipped out on Monday, ok, no biggie. So on the following the Monday, still no kit, message him again, he said that he "gave it to his employee to have them mail it out", hmmm ok, sure whatever, he said he would talk to that person to find if it was shipped. A few days later, get a message back, employee said they did ship it, but of course there is no tracking number. So he says he has another one of the kits that he can send, and he would refund the shipping, I replied with, I dont care about the refund of the shipping, I just want what I paid for, and that was the last I heard, and another week went by, so I had no choice to open a case on 3-17, and still have not heard anything from the seller

Some people just need to vent a little a bit, and there is nothing wrong with that, if everyone can remain civil, then this thread wont get locked.

Oh, dont get me started on about a seller right now
