ZTony8 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Last Saturday I picked up a Revell McEwen dragster,a Tamiya Honda City GG, some Parts by Parks flathead engine air cleaners,and the latest Model Cars magazine.I like when the hobby store has a clearance sale.
johnbuzzed Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 At the Hope it Don't Snow show: Lindberg Dodge 330, with the Slant Six and 383. Ideas have been floating around in my head since I bought it.
av405 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I got this from ebay, $21 total with free shipping. I had been looking for this kit for a while and when I saw the price, I couldn't pass it up. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the license plate decal included a license plate frame for "Alhambra Jeep," a dealer close by to me.

I wired that slant six, in fact I did a lot of wiring! As said, that distributor is so buried, just hollow it out and put seven wires in the middle.
johnbuzzed Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 John, that kit has the nicest slant six that was ever done in a kit! You gotta use it. Use of the Slant Six is a distinct possibility. Maybe even with a header. The one problem that I see is that the distributor cap is so tiny, I won't be able to drill it for wires and there is just so much room under that hood, screaming for the simple early '60s details.

StevenGuthmiller Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Got these in the mail today from our very own Tommy Logan (Roadhawg) & www.speedwaydecals.com. All you factory stock builders out there looking for stock under hood decals, look no further. This is your ticket! The package on the right were a few that Tommy made up custom for me. Sounds like some interesting stuff coming down the pipe too! Steve

Project510 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Cant remember if I updated recently with my latest purchases. Should spend less time buying and more time building
om617 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Nice catch Tommy!....if you get bored of the Hubley 61 Ford wagon let me know.... Thanks! After searching over a year for one example that isn`t warped or messed up i think this is a keeper. I consider try out the "new" 61 Galaxie for donor,to open it up and make it more detailed. Time will show.
cobraman Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Got this kit. Plans call for another Salt Lake style build.
landman Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Hey Cobra, will you be using the engine & drive train or are you using other makes"?

W-409 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 A Glue Bomb of Jo-Han '71 Barracuda Pro Stock arrived yesterday. I have already restored one of these kits and it was a lot of fun. Now when this was for sale with a really reasonable price, I decided to buy it with plans of restoring it as a Super Stock Drag Car. It's missing some parts also, but that might not be a problem. Yesterday I also bought some styrene rod to complete the roll cage on my Top Street Mustang build.
cobraman Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Hey Cobra, will you be using the engine & drive train or are you using other makes"? Never know for sure till I'm knee deep in. You know how it is. : )
High octane Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 All I got today was a couple small jars of Testors paints to replace the dried out and almost used up jars I already have. Oh well, I gotta keep up with the supplies.
1930fordpickup Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I Went to the local Meijers store last night and picked up a Cobra for 12 bucks. They were on clearance.

landman Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I got this. Played with it a bit even if I don't really know what I am doing.
Sixx Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 No photos, but I got Pegus's 1/24th scale Spinosaurus...awesome sculpting by Shane Foulkes. This would have been a very scary dino! It's huge!! I also have the T-Rex & Triceratops kits also. They are all 1/24th scale!
philo426 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) picked up this ugly,damaged Corvette promo for .99 cents at the local Goodwill store.plans are to repair the windshield frame and replace the windshield.that ugly gray has to go so what color should I paint the body and interior? Edited January 22, 2015 by philo426
chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Something awful looking. Neon colors, like an 80s theme build

Not those sheets where you have to cut around each little part? Sorry Tommy, I have yet to use them, but I'm very sure you'd have to cut around each decal. No different than if you made them yourself. Steve
