That Fairlane GT/GTA looks wicked. I just put that on my want list.

I built one for my cousin as a Ranchero and can honestly say it's an Excellent kit, hence the reason why I bought the set it has 2 cars I wanted and an extra GTO.

Went to the only Hobby Lobby I know of that has on-site truck specific parking (Laredo, TX) and got the current issue of the Revell 1941 Chevy P/U and an Aoshima Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG (40% coupon goodness). Waiting on a 4 pack of pick-up truck kits from eBay gotta make the wife head over and check the P.O. Box tomorrow.

Found the Duster/Demon decal sheet from The Last Detail- cost more than I would have liked but had been looking for a while

So your the one that outbid me on it? B) Your should scan tehm and make the decals again, I would need about 10 sheets of them for all the Demon's I have.

Me likey and me wanty!! :lol::lol:

:lol: :lol:

I didn't know how hard it was to find one till I found out a friend had one and he wasn't

willing to give it up.

It even took me a while to find one cheap enough even for me to find. :unsure:

The only reason I wanted one was a friend at work had one that i could have bought for only

$3500 with a new engine and it was always garaged.

The claim for getting a new engine was it sat soo long that the carbon build up ruined the

engine some how.

MMmmmmm. I've never heard of that happening before but I don't know anything about rotory

Engines so it could be plausible??

I could kick myself in the but for not getting it when I could've but it wasn't my type of

ride.

Lack of ground clearance ;):lol:

Can I be your daughters boyfriend? The only thing my current girlfriends parents give me is grief.

Well they may not be Models but Car related.

Found these while wondering around Wallys world.

In all honestly you probably won't like the beginning it makes Road and Track seem fun and interesting. But it is neat to the old cars.
