thatz4u Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I got 2 cans of Hemi Orange at $1.57 each, didn't care for the Go Mango, thanks, HL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I hit the Deerfield HL yesterday; no clearance kits but I was there to get more casting rubber. Got a couple sets of '55 Dodge Lancer promo wheelcovers cast up plus a couple sets of custom cone wheelcovers from the '61 Ford pickup kit, and I'm working on trying to get some no-pinhole copies of the '63 Ford pickup's custom grille (thanks gardnerpag44 - you'll get 'em soon!) Also from eBay seller neatstuff4all: In the Heat of the Night TV police car decals; they're the closest I've found to these shields from the Cooley High Chicago Police cruiser: I'll have to scan and modify them but it's a start.

Richard Bartrop Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I picked up the "Mod Rod" and since Lindberg's '34 Ford pickup was on the shelves, I got one of those as well. The plan is to use the chassis and wheels from the pickup to try and duplicate John Athan's roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Picked up this 51 Ford rebuilder for dirt cheap (to me, anyway) the other day and just got it in the mail yesterday. I've never seen a 51 before so I am excited to have it. Other than a top, it is complete. http:// http:// http:// Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just picked all this up at Hobby Lobby. Out the door for $36 and change! I used the coupon on the paint. All these kits were on clearance for $7.49 each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 HL in Conroe. Headed to Huntsville tonite. Got everything I wanted except the Yenco Vette. They already sold the only one they had. Girlfriend picked the 37 and 57 Fords, the Torino is to build one of my Dads cars, the 53 I needed to go with my hardtop and the other two just because they were cheap.

Mike999 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 For anyone building a Unimog model, here's a huge load of photos and other reference material from the Rocky Mountain Moggers. While Unimog is not huge in the USA, some do get imported, especially in the Pacific Northwest and mountain states. Fire equipment fans should find the Unimog-American LaFrance fire trucks interesting. They come in many different configurations. And the page even has a Toys & Models section. http://www.rockymountainmoggers.com/links.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a 51 before so I am excited to have it. Other than a top, it is complete. Must be a resin transkit. Or a complete resin kit. There was never a 1/25th scale plastic '51 Ford kit produced. My guess is that it's an AMT '50 Ford convertible body modified for the resin '51 parts. Seems to me that there were some '51 transkits available in recent years. Steve Edited June 28, 2018 by StevenGuthmiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the "one coat" lacquers line. I think all the other colors' cans were the older label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes there was, sort of: The ITC kit. Looks like the grille and taillights on Tom's kit may have been copied/sourced from it, but he'll still need the dash and hubcaps.

Modlbldr Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Nice looking old build Chris. Looks like I do have the hubcaps but not the dash or wheel you have. I also have the 50 Convertible chassis, which is much better. http:// http:// Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I THINK THE MODELHOUS MADE A CONVERSION KIT CONSISTING OF GRILLE AND BUMPERS FOR A 5O OR 51 CRESTLINER? HELP ME OUT HERE GUYS!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
