Belugawrx Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Found these for a hundred bucks even from an antique shop 45 min. from me. Drove thru a blizzard.. both ways LOL..but I got 'em
Dragfreak Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I picked up these US wheel Slot Mags for $50, they're in near perfect shape other than one front has been curbed a little bit. I'm not sure if I want to polish these ones or just clean them up and leave them dull. These are 14's whereas the other set are 15's, the fronts are 14x7's and the rears are 14x8's. All I have to do is mount these on the tires that are already on my Luv so no need to buy tires! Kinda looking like I'm a Slot mag hoarder.. Edited January 19, 2014 by Dragfreak
Nick Winter Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Nice score there Nick, those have to be my favorite style of stamped steel rims, don't care if they're GM, Chrysler, or AMC! Joe, GM never used these they had a completely different design, bolt pattern and size , AMC and Chrysler did however, AMC had unique centers and trim rings, and Chrysler had 2 sizes, 2 different trim ring styles, and 2 styles of center caps. Common confusion
slusher Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Got this in the mail last week and today found the time to mock it up, with another one I cobbled together, from two other kits in the stash...(Mpc '79/'80 Dodge uteline "firefighter" and a mpc/ertl '78 Monster truck) Those are real nice. Longbed dodges are getting hard to find at a good price...

Common confusion One some, AMC had the same center cap as Chrysler. Just the emblem piece was different.

The70judgeman Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 More interested in the Mercedes....with IED accessories!?! What's with that? Can you post a better pic? Never seen something like that.
Belugawrx Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 To tell the truth I didn', t see her until I was home ripping into the boxes!! LAFF Here she is so far (looks just like Deb)
Nick Winter Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 One some, AMC had the same center cap as Chrysler. Just the emblem piece was different. Those would be the domes, The Cap part was the same casting, but had AMC numbers cast into it, Then there was the Cone and Dome which were unique, The AMC's Cone's where shorter than the Chrysler cones (only used on '70-'74 C Body's).

Dragfreak Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Today I drove down to our go to tire guy and got the slots put on, now all it needs is a 2 inch cowl and paint! (if this violates any posting rules being I didn't physically get something but had something done feel free to remove my post)
Belugawrx Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I like it New rockers and paint it flat black!!
Greg Cullinan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Who makes those scooters?! They are cool! They are by Aoshima. Basically a parts pack. About $12, you get a set of big and little "drag tires/wheels" and a scooter. Also a set of chrome mirrors. And a hand? Edited January 21, 2014 by Greg Cullinan
disabled modeler Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) That is cool Greg...little scooter. I got snow last night... Edited January 21, 2014 by disabled modeler
Greg Cullinan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 More interested in the Mercedes....with IED accessories!?! What's with that? Can you post a better pic? Never seen something like that. It is 1/35th by diopark, I am doing a O scale train layout and thinking about doing 1/35 vehicles due to assortment and availability. Looks like a nice kit. A lot more parts than I was expecting and packed and presents well. Can be build as a police or pedestrian version. Comes with some military accessories.
Greg Cullinan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 That is cool Greg...little scooter. I got snow last night... Thanks Mark, we are expecting 6-10" this morning. Watching news now waiting for my sons school to close. If not he has to wake up in 20 minutes ?
The70judgeman Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 @Greg- Very interesting kit. Just noticed on the box cover....the concrete chunks in the foreground with the holes in them. I used to work for a company that produces concrete products like that. Anyway, just thought it was a cool and "different" kit. The "IED" part really got my attention. Thanks for opening the box and showing.
FASTBACK340 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I got about 8" so far and they're threatening another 6" or so by morning. Late-night building, no work tomorrow…….

Wow, such care in packing the box, very cool
Big Daddy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 This is what showed up in the mail today, after looking for 1 year I finally found someone to make them and then they get tore to shreds by the US postal service greatttt
Modlbldr Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 We Care??!!?? I'd love to read what the rest of that envelope says. Somehow I have my doubts. Later-
lordairgtar Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I read the back of the envelope and I see the USPS feels all they have to do is get to you, the damaged mail "expeditiously". Then further on they kind of put the responsibility on you like it's all your fault.
