  1. vwrabbit is a great trader, got the IHC COE today and I am very happy with the way he shipped it and I knew I was getting a rebuilder but this is an easy one. Thanks again vwrabbit for the trade.
  2. Oh this is a must/gotta/ who do I have to kill to get one, I'm a huge fan of these trucks and it can't come out soon enough.
  3. Over the past couple of weeks I picked these up, all but the Chevy were $5.00 and the Chevy was $2.00.. The Truck and Shelby Charger are still in factory baggies and the Paddy Wagon from 1968 has the engine started but thats it and it's complete. The Chevy has been painted but not assembled.
  4. I picked up this Kenworth K-123 from the early 70's from the flea market yesterday for $10.00 with all the parts still in the bags but it is missing one steel axle but even the decals are in nice shape, the chrome all looks really nice but I took those out out of the plastic bag they came in because the bags are yellow due to age/smokers and I wanted to see just what kind of shape that the chrome was in. One of my best Second hand scores yet. **borrowed the pic from ebay**
  5. Man that front bumper is perfect, when I was 17 my buddy got his 73 4dr maverick stuck on the beach and another buddy wrapped a rope a few times around the front bumper and pulled the bumper straight out. After we took it over to a cement wall to nudge it up against and the way it bent back it looked just like yours. Just cause they bend straight out doesn't meen they bend back that way.
  6. Yes they are, I never looked at them before, just assumed they were normal kit tires.
  7. Got these three for $10.00 at the flea market, the Dodge is missing the glass but the other two are complete. This is my second one of these in the past few weeks. Borrowed the pics from ebay

    66 442

    It's an AMT kit from 1999.
  9. I picked this one up from Ebay, it had been started and pieces like the canopy were warped but I got it to build it. I got the wheels/tires in a trade and gave it a small lift, the glue blob on the windshield was there but I don't mind.

    66 442

    Just finished this one a couple of weeks ago, it's a 1966 442 that I painted with Testors red and clear and I am very happy with how smooth the paint came out, probably my best rattle can yet. Thanks for looking.
  11. I just read this post from front to back and you did a wicked Job on the 1:25th scale and it looks like your 1:1 is going to be a very cool build, like others have said please keep us up dated on the 1:1.
  12. I got the 68 Dart 2n1 Hemi and the 1966 fairlane GT, 62 bubbletop Impala , Love the flea market..
  13. I was 7 but for the life of me I can't remember which kit it was.
  14. I got this in the mail today from Ebay and I only paid 17.99 plus shipping. I'm doing the Happy Dance right now..
  15. Yes and no, Ford used the IFS in 4x4's from 1980 to 1996, GM Used a live axle/leaf spring set up till 1988 ford used a live axle/Coil spring set up from 1967 untill 1979 in the 4x4's. and they swiched to the IFS 4x4's 8 years before GM and 14 years before Dodge. I have had a few IFS Fords years ago and my Diesel I have now is and have never had any issue with them. But yes all 1960 to 1996 2 wheel drive half ton's and 3/4 tons have an IFS front.
  16. Looks good, I like the colours you picked for the two tone.
  17. Thankyou, now I just need to find one for decent $$$..
  18. I can't remember the name of this kit and it bugs the heck out of me, it was a Chevy (I think) stepside with a semi truck front clip and it had the smoke stacks and such. I was just wondering if anyone remebered what it was called?
  19. Very nice job and I agree they should have built that car.
  20. I had that car (N. American Version) called Corolla SR5 which came factory with the wheel flares, console and 5speed. You did an awesome job and I need to get this kit but mine will be red with black wheel flares same as my 1:1 or maybe Blue like my second one.
