OldNYJim Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Been wanting to build one of these for ages! Not for the $50+ people seem to want for a sealed kit though...found this for $6.50 on eBay ??
Deuces Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Cool!.... I remember building that kit in '74 I think.... ??
Straightliner59 Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 I eschewed sleep, when I got home from work this morning and went to a local contest/show. I was trying to talk myself out of going, to the point of putting on my knit shorts I wear, when I am not planning on going anywhere. Next thing I know, I am seemingly, involuntarily, loading four of my models in boxes to take to the show. Guess I'd better get dressed to go out, again! I'm glad I did, because I came home with these, a Revell MT Challenger 1 and $40 in Hobbytown gift cards. This is my very first Best In Show! Even though it's from a small contest, it still feels pretty danged good!
Snake45 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 No surprise at all. You should get used to it if you take that thing out in public.
Straightliner59 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks, everyone! It was a lot of fun. I met quite a few new fellow modelers, too! The same club sponsors another show/contest, in the spring. I'll probably check that one out, as well!

A lot of parts for the Nissan pickup if anyone needs them. It looks like it’s missing the body parts. Another box that had parts to the Knight Rider 2000 kit and a Silverado pickup. If a one sees any parts they need hit me up. Is that a hood to the Chevy 1500 pickup in the bottom left corner of the first pic? If so, I could use it. Got a rebuilder from a friend that is just missing the hood. PM me, if so, and let's work something out. Later- Edited September 15, 2019 by Modlbldr
landman Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) A Jeep and some splined shafts( aka earring backs) Edited September 15, 2019 by landman
ChrisBcritter Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 As for me, I picked up three little long-tail Powerglides from Shapeways: The pans seem a bit deeper than stock (?) but I'm happy with them. Also have another '63 Pontiac rear bumper on the way; now if I could JUST get a couple driver's side taillights (that eBay seller sent me four passenger side units; I returned all four but they never refunded my money).
landman Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I HAD to use that 40% off ticket, just had to. I hope you guys understand....
