  1. Wife and I were out of town last week. But the mail man dropped off a few goodies while were away playing in the Arizona desert . A set of Modelhaus resin Howards mag wheels so I can get started on my Sox and Martin 64 Comet,,, sooner than later.
  2. The recent amt 1971 Duster has a pretty nice Carter AVS
  3. For me, I use the 1mm pen 90% of the time. I bought them primarily to do instrument panels steering wheels , door panel details etc etc . I use the 2mm to touch up bumpers and such. Ive not found I need the 4 mm pen yet and doubt I ever will
  4. Ok, Not seen the car in that color before. Every pic I have on file and have seen in person is the real dark blue car. Carry one. PS, If memory serves me right. The rainbow color hooded car is the Swede Savage car correct ? Solid Blue was Dan Gurneys cars ?
  5. OMG, I hate to hear of this. Hopefully no one was hurt . Cars can be replaced. Life isnt A good friend of mine lost a couple cars due to fire maybe 20 years ago now. It still hurts to think about it
  6. Not to nit pick as I think your doing a bang up job. BUT Are you sure of the color ? TS44 is more like Plymouth Bright Blue poly ( aka B5 ) This car was far darker than B5
  7. Looking good. One of my all time favorite cars of the day. I would love to find a set of decals to do this car in 1.25th scale
  8. Yea, After I hit submit the other day . I thought about it a day or so and I think you are correct. Although to be 100% honest. Im not 100% sure either way now
  9. I think he is a tad to late
  10. cool. reminds me of this car
  11. The only online retailer I've done business with for models / supplies . If you can call it that is ..ebay. Even at that it's old out of production kits. Although I have bought from Amazon for other things . But not once for anything modeling related I tend to buy local. Or not at all.
  12. ok. Could be. I'm not up on GM cars very well. I'm petty sure 67 was 1st year for red lines on corvette?. As for Mopar its 1967 . 64 thru 1966 were bluelines or white walls. No redlines. And No red lines avail in 1970
  13. on what ?
  14. Swap meet in Phoenix????? Wish I knew of this sooner than the day before . I'll be in Phoenix tomorrow morning. ,,,about 8 am dang it, I have my doubts wife will let me get away with that though. We pick up the rental car about 8 am and supposed to head to Tucson for a few days to visit family. WIll be back in Glendale Monday nite till thursday nite ( wife has a seminar there for work . And I get to tag along,,,well,,,,just because I can hehe)
  15. On a Mopar ? Sorry, But I dis-agree. Redlines were 1967 thru 1969 only Blue lines were 1965 and 66. Raised white letters or white lines were 1970 and later
  16. Closest thing I have ever built to an IMSA car. Did this back early 80s time frame maybe
  17. Just in case anyone has one of these as a parts kit / doner . I could use the tail lights out of one to fix an old annual convertible I have
  18. Thanks, After seeing what another sold for the past couple days. I stole this one. Sold the box and the spare parts elsewhere earlier today. That Brings the costs down even more. Puts me in it at just under $75 postage and all.
  19. Cant argue with your logic . I'm kind of in the same boat. Although I do buy a few new ones here and there. ( new 1970 Charger for example ) Otherwise my buying has become extremely selective the last year or so . At my age and current build rate I need to live to about 150 to get just what I already have here . I will be retiring in the next 7 or 8 years so HOPEFULLY my build rate will go up dramatically.
  20. nice
  21. Good deal. I might actually have to pick one of these up . I have an original issue 1970, but no 1969s . And I know a guy who used to own a white 1969 Boss 302, ( sold it many years ago )
  22. Is this the car thats listed as 1.25th yet its actually 1,24th scale ?
  23. Mail man just dropped this one off. An MPC 1967 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. The interior is brush painted and will strip super easy. Chassis just has a few little things picked out in black paint. The body is no paint anywhere , all the emblems are mint . This will be an easy one. The windshield frame is pushed down a little more than I thought ( not packed very well ) . But I think will be a fairly easy fix . All the parts for it are there. And it looks like everything to build it stock is there. This is one Ive wanted for a while,,,but not bad enough I was gonna pay for the moon to get it. It was listed as a buy it now, or make an offer. So I though what the heck , ( nothing ventured = nothing gained) and I did, for about half the buy it now price. And the seller accepted it. Considering what I see these sell for on a very regular basis. I got a pretty good deal on it. Ive already pulled all the OE stock stuff out of the kit that I'll need. And will sell off the box and all the remains.
  24. Sort of. The box art represents the actual Rapid Transit System car . Yes its a one of a kind But there is nothing in the box to even come close to build said car
