Picked this up Saturday at a nearby show for $15.00. I've already opened it up so I'm hoping to get started on it soon.

So, I got an old tackle box for parts, my mother inlaw who passed 16 years ago was a sewing monster, well we were unpacking a shipping crate soon to be my actual outside shop for mechanic work etc, we came across it, full of stuff that is old and in poor shape due to age, my wife couldn't salvage any of it, so I am recycling the tackle box for parts. And if things stay like they are, I may make a traveling model building box out of it.  Will get some foam for bodies, and have lots of space for tools, and paint. So it was my new to me tool box for building.  

Those make great part boxes..

"LHS" received a large number of Tamiya and other mfg 1/12-scale Formula 1 kits.

I acquired a Tyrrell 003 kit and a Matra V-12 kit.

  I hardly ever browse eBay, (I've always wondered if the company name is Pig Latin for "BE"...) but for some strange reason I did last Sunday afternoon. I came across 2 copies of one of my Holy Grail kits at a decent price that was too tempting to pass up. Factory Sealed, New In Box., Boxes both in mint condition...

Coming early next week from ebay. I am going to be keeping the stock dash in it because the design ended up used on the Astro/Titan and General/Bison trucks and RTS bus in different forms and inspired Pontiac's 69-77 Grand Prix and Grand Am dashes & I don't think Bill Mitchell's design needs to be adulterated with a stock C3 dash. Otherwise I will be building it as a Silva/Motion Maco GT kit car on 60s era 427 Vette guts/frame and newer AMT rims & wheels & a full rear window instead of louvers.
