crazyjim Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 What how can you get one for free I'm such a nice person, people just give me stuff. OK. How about something believable? I'm an IPMS member and I volunteered to be part of their Reviewer Corps. Once approved, I can request a kit from a published list. I get 2 months to build, take some pics, and write a review. I already did a '56 Ford and '66 Chevelle station wagon. You know the old saying, "If it's for free, it's for me".
2000-cvpi Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I used the 40% coupon on this. I went to Hobby Lobby today and they finally had kits on clearance.
Austin T Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 It's a 99' S-10 4 cyl 5 speed. Pretty fun little truck and it's my first car. Oh an I also learned how to drive stick today...

Happy first car. I see you learned to drive the stick out of necessity! No fear, you'll like it! I learned to drive a stick pretty much the same way. I had started working with a company that was giving me a company car to make deliveries. Someone dropped me off at the dealer to pick it up. I went outside with the keys and discovered it was a stick shift. A salesman gave me the five minute lesson in the parking lot and sent me on my way! Yea, I broke in that brand new clutch really well! By evening I was driving it.
2000-cvpi Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I went back to Hobby Lobby today, I bought the last Ford van and 61 Ford on clearance, and one of the 57Fireball Roberts kits.

Deathgoblin Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 AMT 2006 Camaro on clearance from Hobby Lobby for $10.79. full detail kit, too.
bandit1 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 More Parts for my "Snap" rendition of an amt kit! and replacement decals for my volvo kit i need to dig out and get into paint!
Tom Geiger Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 A kit from eBay for my Dune Buggy collection. I saw it ending at $12.00 and had to bid. All told, bought it for less than $20 including postage! Seller said in the auction text that he wasn't sure if it was complete, etc. I looked at the picture of the parts laid out and saw all the unique parts. So I figured I could always supplement it with parts from another AMT duner kit. Funny thing, I went through the whole kit this evening and it's missing one shock absorber!
LokisTyro Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Cool buggy you got there, Mr. G. I got one of these today!! *happy dance*

LokisTyro Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Does not say what it is you bought I know. All I got today (yesterday) was the order confirmation but I am feeling pretty good about it. I'll be sure to share when the goods come in.

o-man Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Went to NNL show in NC today and got these. Then stopped by Hobby Lobby on the way home. And got these in the mail from eBay. I know have more Goodyear Radials than I know what to do with.
MikeyB08 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 My pull for the day. Made a little visit to my local Harbor Freight. Couldn't pass up the $40 3 Gal. Oilless Air Compressor with 100 PSI. Also picked up this cheap rotary tool with 80 pieces for $8 and 3 tubes of Super Glue for $1. Be my first time trying an airbrush so I figured I would stay on the low budget end of things for now.

Also picked up this cheap rotary tool with 80 pieces for $8 and 3 tubes of Super Glue for $1. I kept getting ads for Harbor Freight in the mail and thought it was just for the mail order operation, but I recently discovered that I have a local store in Downingtown, PA. So I'm in big trouble
Nick Winter Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Grabbed these at Autofest, put on by The Motor City Car Club, lots of beautiful 1:1 Rides, Fender covers will help keep my baby clean when it comes back from the bodyshop and I finish putting everything together. Nick

So I'm in big trouble My Harbor Freight is about 45 Min. from where I live. When I go, I try my best to make sure I have an Ad so I know what I'm going for and I know I'm spending over $50 to make it worth my time. But I love Harbor Freight.
