  1. hoping maybe somebody can use these parts, maybe restore an old build or something custom, all from Revell 1/8 trike, basically its the dragon body, seat, headlight, tires and wheels,  backing plates, handle bars and exhaust headers not painted very well, rear tires are soft and not cracked at all but are distorted from years of storage, maybe cut down some R/C car foam inserts or sponge, instructions included would rater not ship the box which is in bad shape,   

    looking for air cooled VW, Porsche stuff or trucks, SUVs that kinda stuff

  2. I'll admit I didn't watch much of the video as that car has zero appeal to me, but what I did see looks about like the Eagle moss cars, where  you buy 3 or 4 kit packages that contain a few parts every month, and takes about 3 years to accumulate all the parts to finish at about a 15-16 hundred dollar cost, I sorta looked at the BTTF release when I first seen it, but for me that's too much money for what it is and having to keep track of all the parts and sub assemblies for 3 yrs till complete no thanks too much can happen in that time period, company goes away, lost parts etc, he is a quick read I found about the Eagle Moss cars

    The stores here in the Toledo Area have limit signs for the fancy garage lights. that is the only limit sign I have seen.  The one store in the south end of Toledo was closed for a week, the only reason I got to purchase a couple 57 Fords. 

    any chance that store has some Pete cab overs ?? or drag truck ?? I made it to Monroe Mi and Lewis ave and both just had some leftover cars 

  4. as a kid it was almost anything, then it became anything and everything Mopar  then started to branch out to other brands of muscle cars with a few classics thrown in (mostly tri 5) and a bit of drag race stuff. I guess I've built bought traded and sold way to many of those type kits cause now I won't even look at them and haven't bought a kit from those catagories in years and can't think of a single new kit they could make that would interest me, so now its pickups and other lifted 4x4 stuff, air cooled VW, Porsche and big rigs which I have been buying quite a few of

  5. from everything I've read for years, that second car they used in the Cali shows was a 71 Satellite Sebring plus, not a GTX or RR the Satellite Sebring Plus could be ordered quite loaded up with options, in fact if you google around a bit there are pics of her car having the round Ralleye gauge dash which would have gotten you the wood grain panels like the GTX, look at this pic you can make out the trim around the round gauges also of note is the dash insert above the glove box the vents indicate it was an A/C car, also note the rear  view mirror has been removed for filming
