Tom Geiger Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Did anyone here get that nice yellow and black 59 Pontiac that was on eBay? Sold for $55 plus $15 postage. I would've bid but I already have two!
TransAmMike Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Got this tubbed undercarriage with suspension parts off of ebay today. It's from '66 Nova kit but I don't know which one. Gonna use it with the AMT 55' Chevy Bel Air 2-door sedan body. It's actually almost an exact fit, but will need some alterations tho. Edited March 22, 2021 by TransAmMike
niteowl7710 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Latest box of stuff from HLJ. Also booked all the flights, hotel & rental car for the IPMS Nationals in Vegas in August, but that's just blurbs of text, so here's a picture of the HLJ box instead. ?
Bills72sj Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Got impatient waiting for HL to get the GMC Jimmy, so the one I ordered from ebay came today. I also got a bunch of really cool photo etch parts from Brazil.
Modlbldr Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Yesterday's acquisitions. Couldn't find the Hugger Orange paint I wanted but picked up a few other cans. Got the kits from a local guy. The two on the left are parts kits. The 4 on the right are complete/unstated. A rebuilder 65 Buick Wildcat. Then I got this from him. A complete Model Car World 53 Olds 88. Got plans for a mild custom with this one. Later-
Kromolly Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Great haul! Some really cool models there. I used to own a 1:1 '65 Wildcat convertible, would like to find a model someday myself.
HomerS Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Indy swap meet show this past weekend. No shows in over year so went a little overboard......
Dragonhawk1066 Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Grabbed these two off ebay last week. I bought the Testarossa solely for the wheels so I can build the Ferrari Daytona from Gumball Rally to add to the Yellow Camaro and Shelby Cobra I've done already. The Camaro Convertible was only $5.99 + an extra $2 shipping, so I couldn't pass that up, lol.

Sam I Am Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 These came in the mail today. The Ranchero parts and the wheels came from members, the Elcamino and Buick are from ebay.

I was looking for a 66 Wildcat and mentioned it to a buddy last night. He dug this out and we made a deal. I'm just going to cut the jagged edge into a square, cut and bend a bit of styrene, glue it in place, sand and fill and paint like normal. Shouldn't be difficult. Later-
Kromolly Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 To be honest, most of these arrived yesterday. The C600 US Mail truck arrived today. A couple of others arrived over several days. I decided to post a group photo. There's something about the older "made in USA" ☺️ kits.

I've never seen the "69 Cougar built as a custom version especially since the more recent release doesn't include those parts.
niteowl7710 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Found a few of the Good Smile Racing kits I was missing from my collection on Yahoo! Japan Auctions along with a decently priced Tamiya Supra that has a set of replacement decals in the box.
