Picked up these chrome parts on eBay, mostly for the SMP (AMT?) 1961(?) Chevy Pickup parts, especially the dog dish hub caps:

Decided to pad the stash at HL before the coupon went away and while the sale was on. Been wanting all of these for a while, just never pulled the trigger. Wanted a Foose truck or two, but they didn't have any at the store I visited.

Picked up a few things today. 29 Ford and supplies from HL and the LHS.

A complete unstarted 66 GT350H off of FB Marketplace during lunch for $10 ( only a two minute walk from work).

And supplies from the Dollar Store. Not a bad haul today for $45.

Later-

Nice models...and are they sitting on the trunk lid of a third generation Mazda 3...with a manual? Thank you Mazda, for being like that.

Scored a load of nos resin and detail parts from a local from fb marketplace, and another load of rebuilders/parts cars from a local collector, he hates early cars so I get these fairly cheap!

there is work involved to get these though, I have to sort and re-stack through piles of bins to find them.

Yes, 2016 S Grand Touring. One of the few instances of the top trim level vehicle being available with a manual in recent history. You can still get a manual in the new Premium trim, but only in the hatch. And the dealers don't seem to be ordering many. When I got mine, one dealer had at least one manual sedan in each available color on the lot.

Someone on some board had that emblem as an avatar, and I found an Etsy shop that sold the stickers.

Very nice.
I had a top trim 2013 Elantra Hatchback  manual a few years ago. I have a 15 Mazda 3 hatch now, but, sadly, a slush box. But it’s my 106 miles four days a week commuter, so it’s ok.

Yesterday I got two Nova wagons and the Jimmy in the mail.  Today I hit HL but didn't see any kits I "needed" Evan at 40% off, so I picked up a molotow pen, some testors bottles paint, and an airbrush cleaning kit,

Making the most of the 40% off at Hobby Lobby before they end it - got a couple more Revell 29s and this - been wanting to build some oval cars!

Glad you found something. Mine didnt have anything I cared for...

Checked another HL this evening and scored a Foose truck. Seven kits in two days, I don't need anything more. Except a Nova wagon.

Anybody else get an "AMT" '64 Belvidere packed this way? The body, red taillights, Slant 6 runner, exhaust and Slant 6 transmission runner along with the interior floor pan, door panels and dash were all unbagged with the flippin tires tossed in on top. The chassis, suspension, V-8, and other bits along with the chrome and clear were bagged.

I got this book in the mail that I ordered.  I blitzed through it. Not really what I expected for detail drawings and images but will make some good reading on the development on the 5 cars built.  

This to support my Tamiya Lotus 79 build !
