Got a Hendrix 1951 Pontiac Fastback kit today. Not too bad - needs a little grinding on the interior bucket to fit up into the body better. Complete except for a steering column and steering wheel. Not starting it anytime soon - 2 Hudsons and a 1958 Chevy Del Ray to finish first.

Yesterday we got 1 1/8" of much needed rain. It was a real nice soaky in rain, too.

You can have ours. All of it. That way we could probably take off our anoraks for the first time since 1986.

Ohhhh Frank - you used a nasty 4 letter word.

Don't know what the day will bring. Marcia is off work today and we're going to a flea market. Some booth there supposedly has all kinds of kits for $5.00 each. Just what I need - more kits.

I have been looking for a Fujimi EM Porsche 356 for a while now but am not willing to pay the $50 everyone wants for them. I had been searching for them via the web and the shows I attended the last few years with no luck. I have also been holding off on purchasing the Flintstone 550 spyder for $20+shipping. This last weekend, I went to the local show and found a sealed 356 coupe bundled with a Flintsone 550 for $30 and then another sealed 356 roadster for $17. I have a partial kit that I can use to build the 550 so in all, netted 3 buildables for less than $50. Also picked up two Penske Vettes, the Revell vette with cross webber intake and minilites, a Petty Talladega, a Jeep Renegade and a Fiat 131 Abarth.

It'll stick out 4-5 inches but big deal. At least I wont have the mess to clean that i usually do. And what a mess there was..the bathroom fan was caked with dried paint, the wall behind was black....horrible mess.

Got a "grail kit" from EvilBay...

The Fujimi Enthusiast Stratos in 1:24. It's an interesting kit- Fujimi basically kitted this one up in the mid-90's using a lot of the old Ferrari Dino tooling for the drivetrain with new tooling for the rest. There is a photoetched fret included...

So far, I have mixed feelings about this kit. It should go together pretty well, and the Dino parts are beautiful, but the Stratos-specific parts are pretty primitive by comparison. It definitely shows a dropoff in quality from the mid-80's to the mid 90's. Also, this kit does NOT build an authentic race/rally Stratos. the decals for the Chardonnet car are included, but this kit represents a factory-stock Stratos Stradale, and the Stratos door scripts are included on the decal sheet as well. I was aware of this going in, but I could see someone being disappointed. I'm happy about it, as I really wanted to build a Stradale. This will probably be my next project.
