Round 2 at My Model Car Storage

[Lyn]

its kind-of dry here, but the cold is a wet feeling cold so it goes to the bone.....or in my case bone/metal? its even cool in my house.....maybe if we all think warm it will be warm?...naaaaa that wont work ive tried that already. the springs around here have ice sickles on them already...........im tempted to take a blow torch to them! bad old ice sickles......we had snow spitting in the wind last night too. think summer think summer, dang it didnt work....well at least im trying.....take care and god bless, mark

hey now it isn't the sickles fault, play nice with them, don't glare at the flakes either, they can't help it!!

lol you could do what I did today, bake a batch of cookies it warms the house nicely, of course I f'd my cookies up so they aren't good for much other then weighing down my trash bag, but I had fun making them and it did warm my house

It's been snowing here for the past week, and it's supposed to snow ALL next week.

Hey Lyn, send them cookies up here, I can use them for hockey pucks when the lake freezes over.

does anyone want to adopt the poor little sickles and snow flakes?...........thats what i thought. the only nice thing about winter here is your beverages will stay cold in the back of a truck.....or car....or front porch. why did the snow man run down to the street? ..........he heard a snow bl..er was coming by. Hey a little old lady told me that one...........have fun,mark

[disabled modeler]

Hi, the little old lady that told me that was probably in her late 70s she was quite a cut-up.....see had me laughing so hard i had tears in my eyes.....some of the others she told me i cant say here. lively old gal,she sould have been a comedian for a living ! i thought i was going to blush on some of them. all i can say is she must have been something back in the day. turtle rancher? you were the one that referred me to this wonderful site with all its wonderful people......thanks! there is days where it keeps me going so to speak. had i not,i wouldnt have met all new friends ive found here including yourself. the relatives i have that live near clearwater have little turtles in a pond they care for and release when their big enough to be on their own.....they can only do a few at a time but i think its great.........thanks everyone for the help,god bless mark

[Car Crazy 81]

Lyn- I sent you a PM on a couple of kits youre looking to get rid of your collection or just thinning it out.

[Lyn]

woooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee everytime we do this I need a beer and a nap LOL

I want to thank Jim and Terry for being there to help me. Once again I could NOT have done that on my own. The storage is down to being half full.

I even ran accross models I hadn't seen before in there! Took 2 huge boxes home with me to list.

I did take some pictures I'll post them tomorrow from my laptop. Man though it was hard work it was a bunch of fun

Thank you again guys!

[Lyn]

Lyn, I'm still on the lookout for a 1993 Ford Ranger Splash kit. If you happen to find another one while you are there Sunday, please let me know, I would be more than willing to take it off your hands (PRE Ebay if possible)

James I didn't find it but I know there is one in there. we didn't get to most of the boxes that had sealed models in it this trip, we just reworked the smaller scale, odd scale then went through and seperated the complete and missing parts models.

WHen I find it I'll PM you.

[Lyn]

Hi Lyn, if you run across any thing that sounds like id like let me know, really glad you have help.....i know how important it is. i love late 60s big bodied cars, some station wagons, and junk. im sure everything will go to a good home.....its also very nice to offer items to some pre e bay......lots of us cant compete with the big buck people. thanks i hope everything gos well for you. god bless. mark

Hi Mark. I am sorry to say I didn't run across anything on your list. But we didn't even get to the build up boxes or the boxes of bodies.

I left your list at storage so I'll have it handy when I eventually have time to get into the build up boxes.

[Lyn]

Hey Lyn!

BUBBLE-TOPS!

....keep me in the loop?

I found a few, brought home 2 with me. orange something and cherry something, I'd get up and look but I haven't even got up for my beer yet.

[Lyn]

I'm looking for a '53 Bel Air, '75 Duster, '87 Buick GN, and '77 Nova. Can you please let me know if you find any of these?

found a 53 something that Jim said you may be interested in and the '87 Grand national. Send me a PM we'll figure something out

[JamesW]

Thanks. Not in a rush, I have plenty of projects to keep me busy through the winter.

[disabled modeler]

[Lyn]

you are welcome, eventually I am sure I will find something you need.

[disabled modeler]

Lyn, thanks! you know its the kindness of people like you and the helpers that keep a lot of us going.....a lot of people dont realize how much easier life can be if they would just once a week take a day and try to show the kindness you possess in your heart..........thanks again.god bless.mark

[modeler]

if you have any volare kits lmk i want to buy them from ya

[Lyn]

I know I sold a Jo-han one on ebay, reason I remember that one is that was my first car, a station wagon, my dad was going to strip and paint black with tinted windows for me, engine died and at that point i was MORE then happy with the NEW Plymouth Sundance I was driving, totally wish I knew then what I know now, what a cool ride that would have been! I went off of subject sorry lol. not sure if there is another one or not. It probably will be another week or more before I go back to storage I took 90ish models home with me.

Ahh, memories. I had a 1978 Ford Thunderbird back in 98, it was officially an antique. I had it only a few months. When winter hit I had no choice but to get rid of it, (no heat, no drivers side window). If I had known then what I know now, I would still have it, completely restored, in my garage. Wish I could find a kit of it.

[disabled modeler]

My first real car was a 1972 oldsmoblie toronado, it was a pretty nice car for $400.00............man did that thing run, i was always needing to put front tires on it though......wonder why? it would smoke the tires for a block maybe? thing had beautiful interior.....power everything! car got scraped after i went sideways down a riven at high speed.....yes i was dumb and young. the one i miss the most i had was a 1975 pace car trans am i got for $800.00 , we rebuilt the engine and beefed it up.....wow! it would eat up corvettes like they were nothing.....got busted by lady state trooper out of state,she had me clocked at 157mph in a 55 zone....take my advise! the fine is a very large one and they tend to frown on such actions on their highways in MO. i sold the car the next week.....mark

[Custom Hearse]

I got my first car when I was 14. It was a '68 Dodge Charger with a 440, given to me by a friend. The car was in mint condition except for the engine wiring... It had shorted out, so it wouldn't start. Fortunately my step dad helped me get it up and running. Then my mom sold it because I was too young to drive...

Great!! Thanks Lyn...Please let me know when you get ready to list them!!

[Lyn]

we had all sorts of cars when I was growing up, it seemed just normal then to have 2 novas or 2 corvairs out back or in the garage at any given time. now that I look back I know why he usually had two, parts cars. I also now know why all the kids wanted to ride with us hahaha. I think my fav was the van though I might have a picture of it on here.
