  1. Yes. The drive wheel's from The Freightliner COE
  2. Odd you said that, I had an older AMT semi trailer kit which the parts were all in two bags ! The main parts in one the chrome in the other, and tires/axles were loose along with the red/yellow lights!
  3. What's with all the "extra waste" bags in some kits these day's?? The AMT Rat Fink Trailer has 5 extra un-needed bags for parts! Three contain white trailer parts, (only needs the one as all the chrome, lights, and other white parts fit into the bag that contains the roof, floor, and wall's. It don't need a bag for the axles! The axles could be bagged with the tires. I cut it down from EIGHT bags to Three! 1.all white trailer parts/chrome/light's, and rubber line in bag 1. Bag 2. tires/axles, and bag three decals! So does the Five extra plastic bags help increase the price?? I know it increases the amount of plastic waste going to the landfill's! Also USPS lost my AEP Electric bill! They don't know what happened to it. It's a good thing I have an online account with AEP So I know what the bill charges are.
  4. Ford U.S Mail truck/Trailer had the wheels.
  5. Sorry it's not the best photo since I am at this time limited to the laptop's camera... But here are a few of my soda machines. Plus three that I made from evergreen plastic sheets..
  6. Played Hutch in the series, and recorded the one hit wonder Don't give up on us baby.... He was just 80 years young
  7. yes the boxes of Monogram kit's have the tag under the sealed plastic, But the AMT kits such as the Trailer all were on the outside plastic wrap..
  8. Went to Ollie's which is down to the unwanted kit's . A case worth of: Green Hornet 1/32 cars, Mach5 speed racer, and Star Trek. I bought the only Big Rig Semi Trailer they had. Wished I would have left it though! Got ready to build it and No darn TIRES! Yes it was still factory sealed!
  9. Since I have a couple of the '72 Chevy Pickup's , and the Ford van I have several of these soda machine's. So I decided to make competitor soda machines out of the other two. I Made one into Dr.Pepper and the other a Pepsi machine.
  10. Tom the eldest between the Smothers brother's passed away. Most anyone would remember his most famous quote of : MOTHER ALWAYS LIKED YOU BEST!
  11. My Local Ollie's are down to the hard to sell off kit's now. The 79 T/A, 82 Corvette, green hornet 1/32, Big Rig trailer, Coca Cola Plymouth, Dodge d-50 and Star Trek enterprise & Reliant...
  12. Your not kidding Our local store did get the Rat Fink IH rig, Trailer's along with the GMC General with the Coca Cola Trailer. We also had the Nova wagon, 64 Ford Galaxie, Ford Taxi, Coca Cols Dodge d-50, 41 Plymouth, 70 Corvette, coca cola 72 Pickup. Then they have the Mach5, 1/32 Green Hornet . Hot Wheels Camaro and the Bonneville which aren't selling well. The other week they got the monogram kit's Both the 57 Chevy/Nomad, the 56 Chevy, 32 Ford, 82 Vette, and Trans am. Nothing Atlantis wise or AMT since they got the Monogram kit's!
  13. The great dane Trailer's would be nice to get could use a couple of those, But My local store don't have those! The only semi trailer we got here is the old IMC (lindberg/AMT) junk.
  14. Though the car is molded in yellow It does come with almost all the Police car items other than the roof light's. Since I bought two of these one will be built as the Taxi, while the other will become a Fire Chief's car. I always have extra roof lights since most of the AMT semi kit's include them. A while back I bought the {James Bond} Vegas police cruiser and switched out the wheels to make a normal passenger copy. So they can be a Taxi, Police, Fire, Military, Company car or a regular passenger car.. Any other options????
  15. Got an Email from Ollie's this morning TOY'S Are now 20% OFF!!!! Which includes MODELS.....
  16. Bought 4 kits at Ollie's Army night. Another Galaxie taxi (last one there) Monogram '57 Chevy, Coca Cola '72 Chevy Pickup, and a 65 Bonneville.. They had the Old IMC Truck Trailer, Coca Cola Dodge D-50,Plymouth, loads of speed racer kit's Hot Wheel's Camaro, Monogram 57 nomad/bel Air , 82 Corvette, 79 Trans Am, 1/32 green hornet car, 1/32 T-bird, and 32 ford. Star Trek kits as well (reliant/Enterprise) The 65 Bonneville is for Trade to anyone that was looking for it, but their Ollie's didn.t have them
  17. USPS has either had a package go AWOL or stolen! It made it 121 miles south east of me , On December 1st it was Located in Columbus Ohio. Last update was the 5th saying it was traveling though the network... Normally hours after it hit's the center at Columbus it's at my local P.O here in Van Wert Ohio! which is 121-126 miles from the capital of our state...
  18. Van Wert Ollie's Finally got the Monogram kit's (56 Chevy bel air, 32 Ford, 79/80 Trans Am, 57 Chevy Bel Air, 82 Corvette Silver snap 1/24, and the 57 Nomad. All but the Nomad were tagged at $12.99... What makes the Nomad priced for a higher price ($15.99)???? To make it stock you would have to find the 1/24 stock buildable Bel Air for the stock wheel's & stock steering wheel ......
  19. Flea Market buy's today. 1958 Desoto four door friction model by JoHan with window box, JoHan 1962 Rambler American friction Loose. Paid $20 for the Desoto, and $10 for the Rambler (different vendors)...

  21. While some on here would like to see the '66 Buick, I myself would like to see The '66 Pontiac Bonneville, as well as the 68/69 Bonneville's and Chevrolet Impala's!
  22. I have all Three 1/16 1957 Chevrolet's the sport coupe above, the convertible, and the Nomad. I got the Nomad when I bought the totes last year at the U.S. 127 Garage Sales which had to be rebuilt, and replace a few missing parts. The Nomad is also Turquoise and white as it look's like the one that was used on Richard dean Anderson's MacGyver...
