What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[rattle can man]

4 AMT '64 Riviera built ups.  Combined with the partial kit I had' I can almost rebuild three (just need a hood for a 4th). Weird thing is the stock taillights are missing from all 5. I have enough custom taillights for 4. I've already posted in the wanted section.

CARBS show in Dayton last weekend....

I 've been wanting the Sox & Martin 'cuda but they seem to go closer to $50 at shows around here.

All are open/complete except the BMW which is F/S

I found these on the internet, possibly the direction I'd like to head in. I got so caught up in thinking about the hauler I never gave the cargo any thought.. ?.. either of these loads look fine but I'm gonna have to do some more daydreaming.

Looks like a cool idea! Maybe for a car to haul you could do the Flashpoint Duster funny car and keep a fire truck theme for the hauler.

Another decent score from ebay made it to my mailbox today. Complete with a few extra parts, spare battery, woodgrain push bar and the clear/blue bubble lights.

Expensive, but great stuff. You can strain it after using and reuse

I've always used Super Clean as my go to, but thought I'd see for myself about this stuff after hearing such good reviews.  I'm looking forward to trying it on stubborn paints that Super Clean has some trouble with.  I'll post if there is a difference.

Having blown almost the entire day at the DMV today cleaning up way overdue paperwork, I quit for the afternoon and finally took the time to look at the rest of the kits I dragged home from the late October ACME meet.

Only thing I'm a little disappointed by is the skinnyish tires on the 4X4. I wasn't expecting big ol' mudders, but something that looked more like what's on the box art would have been nice. The as-built ride height doesn't look like it's going to be close to the box-art either, but the art is probably considerably higher than stock anyway, so a little liftin' will be in order.
