RickRollerLT1 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Today when I was at my local Michaels, I saw and bought the new-ish Cali-wheels 63 Impala 2-in-1 that rang up as a 64 Impala Lowrider on the product listing for 17.99, but got it at $9.70 witha 50%off coupon (Hellz Yeah!!!!) And to make things better... I saw a opened 64 Impala Lowrider kit and asked the cashier if I would recieve any discount, being the product was opened and missing the wheels. It rang up $14.99 and she applied a 20% off "scratch and dent item discount" (making it $12.60) along with the coupon on the '63. Of course along with two bottles of paint and a 400pc brush set for a $1.20, came up to around $27.66 with tax, which most LHS's charge with tax for just the '63 Impy alone! Dat made my day!!

Casey Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) I got these three Revell Snap Rods (newest name for the old Monogram 1/32 scale snap-tie kits) in trade from gray01 (Shelly). Upon openiing them, I noticed the window trim, grilles, tail panels, emblems, side marker lamps, etc. are now pre-painted, which they had never been in previous issues. Even the '69 Camaro Z/28's vinyl top and trim is pre-painted-- perfect for first time builders. I took many pics off the '69 Camaro Z/28, '68 GTO, and '70 Mach1 Mustang, which can be viewed here: http://s916.photobuc...ogram/132scale/ Edited December 10, 2011 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I hate to love this thread. Someone I don't know from somewhere in the world got something I don't care about. So why do I keep coming back over and over to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no sure about this either, but if I can get correct tires, I would build maybe somekind of Rock Crawler... -'57 Chevrolet Bel Air. This would be maybe Street Freak. -Chevrolet Beretta. It'll be Drag Racer, but not sure about the style yet. -NASCAR Oldsmobile. Not sure about it... Lots of missing parts, so don't know, what to do for it. -Pontiac Firebird GTA. Good basis for project. It'll be pretty typical Street Car. -Chevrolet S10 Pickup. It'll be maybe Drag Racer, not sure about the engine yet. Maybe Twinturbo, maybe just typical engine with carburetor, or then something else. -Chevrolet Corvette Limousine. I have only the chassis and interior. Not sure about it either. -Turbine Car. It will be Custom with typical V8 engine, not Turbine Motor. -And '70 Chevelle's box absolutely full of parts. Engines, interior parts etc etc. Lots of stuff. I can post pictures too, if you want.

Also from eBay got an unbuilt AMT VW Scirocco, one of the kits from back in the day that was never reissued and I was always slightly interested in...

B-dub Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 finally set on a local hobby shop, he doesn't carry much but as soon as I asked "know anywhere I can get some styrene" his reply was "what do you need and I'll order it" so I plan to go back maybe next week after figuring out what I want to get and order some stuff. I'm also going to see if there are any kits he can order for me. They are VERY friendly and run an r/c track. Ironically the f150 came in after the last time I was there I was making a comment how I like truck models.. he ordered it along with a 55 ford.

h3ae86 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I cant wait to get that wrecker Yeah s soon as I saw it on revell's site I knew I'd have to grab it when I saw it but I'm a little disappointed with it because the engine block is molded into the cab and the oil pan and transmission are molded into the chassis. But other than that and having to clean up some parts it seems like a really cool kit so far. Edited December 13, 2011 by h3ae86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
