My oldest son brought these to me today! 

Found at an antique shop for 10 bucks each.

The Model T kit is complete.

The Matadoor has all the stock parts except headlights, taillights, front turn signal lenses, swaybar and decals.

Johnny, I'm pretty sure the Mats headlights and front signal lights are molded to the grille, not separate pieces. That's how they are on my '77.

No this has openings and appears they were chrome inserts.

This actually came yesterday from Burbank's House of Hobbies. Haven't built a NASCAR for 45 years.

Oh, I get it. Unplated grille with separate chrome lenses then, right?

Yes!

I'd try a set of lenses from an AMT '70 Camaro with the SS nose. Looks pretty close and I bet those Mat pieces  will be pretty hard to come by.

My buddy Mark just brought me a 911 Moby dick kit. Chris Smith , I , Mark and Steve received one. He made a deal with Mr. Hiro and gave each one of us a kit. 1/12 martini 911 . Might have to put away the 917/30 to do this.

I finally got the '63 Chevy Wagon "craftsman plus" I've been waiting for this one to arrive in the UK for a while. I've already made a start on it, I'll post in WIP:)

Well, I must be popular because ewetwo sent me some fan mail:

An evening's work and now it looks a bit more like the one from the '70 Wildcat:

Thanks David! 

Also scored a couple cans of Testor's Metalizer Aluminum and a can of Fabric Tan on $1.67 clearance from the Deerfield Hobby Lobby. Was hoping they'd have the GTO Super Stocker, but not yet.

 

 

You are more than welcome Chris. ?

Got a Willys body, chassis and interior in a swap with Michelle- Now I just need the tilt front end for another (like I need one) project!

Got this today. I want to replicate my Mechanic's Nova. Now all I need is a photo as I've never seen it. Only was told about it. He hasn't done anything with it in 20 years which is a shame.

Build it the way that you want to, then glue a dusty car cover over it.  ?

Oh yes he is really generous. I, Steve H , Mark and Chris Smith are receiving one. Going to be a group build. He knows Mr Hiro and traded many thousands of dollars of models from Mr Hiro. So he had a chance to get these for just a little compared to retail. So he gave us all one and here we go.

Cool. I could probably claim him as dependent on taxes, but I'm not a hitter like that. Post in build thread if time. Enjoy in health.

I have 2 of these that I bought when they first came out....

I lucked into a 1/24 Airfix Aston Martin 007 kit.  She's a little gluebombed, but looks to be pretty complete.  Got it for $29.    

[Modlbldr]

Got this tonight. Looks like enough parts for the 36' and 44' trailers.

Also got this started belly tanker project.

Later-
