What's with the U.S.Post office these days?
ranma replied to styromaniac's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
On the Positive side I shipped a small package to Ill Saturday, and had a ETA of September 17th. Well it was delivered on Monday the 15th! Negitive side is that I was supposed to get my Bank statement Saturday, But it hasn't shown up. Monday's mail had everything that was shown on informed delivery. This is the second bank statement to not show up! We also had both the electric bill and gas bill do the same and never got them! -

Now Ritz since getting bought out now discontinued The Ritz Toasted everything chips! Both were popular selling products, and it showed when at the store they sold out before the other flavors!

Semi trucks: Perkins furniture IH S-Series, Rollins GMC General/trailer, and a Mack with shipping container trailer -

Not today but the last two days. Bought 3 in their boxes Tyco Freight cars, Old dutch Bottom dump hopper, Popsicle box car, and wood pulp freight car. All three with their less than $2.00 price tag from K-mart! The others are loose: Two New Haven box cars, Hienz 57 Condola , MSL bottom drop open top Hopper, Frisco Box car, and one other box car. Paid $3.50 for each..... -
Yes the bottom part in that picture
-
sadly no as there is a middle piece so they are one part. The springs mount to both top and bottom of the suspension which the top a arms are also one part with part of the strike plate ( Floor jack Jacking point) The bottom A arms have a flat part of the strike plate between them.

Last year I got the idea to do a Tribute build of the Kenner Smash Up Derby cars (Original set), But with a twist being ready to enter the derby. The AMT '57 Ford was bought at last years US 127 Garage sales . Luck struck Again this year with the Revell '57 Nomad ! Lighting altered the colors a bit The Fords hood/doors/trunk are actually a purplish color, and the nomad's door's/hood is sub lime Green. which is a close match to the Kenner parts.

depends on which kit it's from. If it's from the kit that has the opening hood, trunk, and doors then yes. if it's the '56 Del ray then no.

Found ONE seller at the Garage sales set up at Van Wert Fair grounds with decent prices on some of his items. Spent $35.00 at his stall ... Bought a Revell Hot Rod Magazine "Custom" '57 Nomad kit. Painted/lightly started $15.00 and a Open non-started Complete Moebuis '71 Ford Ranger pickup $20.00 Not a bad deal really. Seen other kit's at different vendors such as the '72 GMC Jimmy, AMT '57 Chevy But $35.00 for open recent issues that I can find at Hobby lobby for cheaper??

While the US 127/US 30 Garage sales start tomorrow , some were already open.( Van Wert Fair Grounds) Quite a few had Model kit's , But either they wanted full retail or even more for them! AMT Rat Fink Trailer kit $75.00 (bought from Ollie's for $20! Several recent issued kit's $35.00, and they were opened. One had models and Die cast that try's to charge a $2.00 "fee to pick one up to check it, And he also wants full retail for his kit's! The guy is there every year with the same things! I thought the reason for a garage sale was to sale things at a decent price, Not FULL BLOWN RETAIL Or Above!
-
To many to list all of them that I like. initial D, Girls und Panzer, Gils und Panzer Der Film, Full metal Panic!, Sailor Moon. Just to name a few! Screen shots From Girl Und Panzer anime series.

B-29 Superfortress "Doc" startup and takeoff at Oshkosh...
ranma replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Years ago when the presidential aircraft at the then Dayton Air Force Museum were housed on the wright patterson air base. I was thin enough to walk through them , and had to watch out for static electric shock! The space that one tours through them is only about 19 inches wide! -
