jrherald420 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Yea are you ok? Whoa, what happened James? Went to the doctor 2 weeks ago to find out if i was Diabetic or not (my father is type 2). Went to Instantcare they took blood and sent me to the ER, Found out my blood sugar was 778 (normal is low 100ish) and had been for about the last 5 months. Got on Insulin and everything got leveling back out where it should be and it took a toll on my eyes, i could only see blurry outlines for about 8 days. Got some cheap reading glasses and could see better but still couldnt see anything up close or even try to read. Got my blood sugar back down to the low 100's and was able to go to the eye doctor and have glasses made. Ive been able to read again for 2 days now.
cobraman Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Glad you are doing better and hope you continue to do so.

michaelbaskett Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 got these a few days ago, Great Score Tom..... Where did you find those?.. And how much did you have to give?..
tbill Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 got these a few days ago, Great Score Tom..... Where did you find those?.. And how much did you have to give?.. I got them from freds model world, I happened to be out in buffalo NY for work, and I met up with him. I paid $190 for all 4 of them, I thought that was a smoking deal. the auto transporter was open, but sealed inside, the other 3 were still factory sealed. I figure that was my home run shopping trip of the year.
Scuderia Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Gotta love Michael's 50% Coupon. Got this Audi for $13, and I paid $6 and change for the paint for my Viper GTS at a diff local hobby shop.
Tom Kren Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 PICKED UP THE NEW REVELL GASSER VETTE AND A 65 GALIAXY 50 TO DO AS AS A CUSTOM/LOWRIDER
slusher Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 This arrived today. Got it on ebay. Bought this one because I built the one I had in my collection so I needed to replace it for my unbuilt collection. I got this today. Got it pretty cheap on the bay. Curbside kit, no engine. Pretty shallow interior tub. Not sure how this will come out when built. We shall see. Two nice looking kits, l have never seen that version cobra and my favorite kit when l was a kid was the amt 66 t-bird. l would like to see you build that 66...
cobraman Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks Carl. I think I will build the T-Bird after I finish the F 1 Honda I'm working on.
Tom Geiger Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I got this really cool R&R 1960 Valiant station wagon body as a gift from Al (aka porscheman) at our club meeting, He got it as part of a lot of models at a garage sale. Like I ever have that luck! The kit was built by a modeler of limited talent, but was then put into the hands of a numpty who sanded it to death, pretty much ruining the body. Looking at it, I may take a 1962 4 door body and mount the green house onto it. I can redo the drip rail detail since I pretty much bought the entire Evergreen catalog of round stock. I do already own an unbuilt copy of this resin, that will eventually become the 1960 model build. So it would be cool to create a '62 out of this mess. And that silly auction place has provided another interesting old custom based on the 1961 Ranchero original issue. I swore I wouldn't buy any more of these, since I had about a dozen different vehicles, but the color was so close to my latest restoration (and the price was right) that I couldn't resist that "Buy It Now" button! So another 50 year old build enters into the protective custody of the Olde Kustom Kollection! Edited October 15, 2013 by Tom Geiger
ChrisBcritter Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Got three yards of headliner material for my 1/1 '78 Buick; having little bits of dried-up foam rubber falling in my eyes when I drive gets old fast. The stuff was marked down to $9.95/yard (1/3 off) so I bit the bullet. Brought the roll up to the lady at the cutting table and the conversation went like this: Me: "Three yards, please." Lady: "That's quite a lot - what are you going to do with it?" Me: "Uh... make a headliner?" Lady: "Really? That's the first time I've sold headliner to make a headliner." Me: "What do people usually buy it for?" Lady: "Making covers for laptops." Fortunately I've done this once before on an '82 Eldo so I can do it again; hand stitching the sun visors will be the tough part.
Bennyg Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Just got my moebius prostar from the post office. Looks to be a great kit. Ben
MyBradKeselowski Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Just got my moebius prostar from the post office. Looks to be a great kit. Ben Lucky you, I want one those really bad..
Austin T Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I agree Casey, Pretty sweet box art. I don't know as if I'd want to be jumping dunes with a dirt bike in the bed of my truck though.
Evilbenny Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Picked up these at my local club meeting Sunday. Don't see the EXP's too often.

Scuderia Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Picked up these at my local club meeting Sunday. Don't see the EXP's too often. SAM_0296.JPG I envy you and your EXP lol congrats!! I just got a Revell '92 Cougar. I hate buying a whole kit just for a body but my current work was in the 'soup' and it doesn't work well on Perfect Match
