Tom Geiger Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I went to the local hobby shop yesterday. It's not the greatest shop, and really doesn't cater to modelers. It's more of a toy store. The kind of shop where the Squadron Green Putty is near dry in the tube. So I was surprised that I got everything I went for... They had the Testors 9200 decal sealer spray can. They had the Evergreen .2 sheet plastic, even though I had to hunt for it in their disorganized rack. Then I noticed they had the October and November issues of Model Cars. So I grabbed them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000-cvpi Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 This is my Christmas presents. I finally found a hobby shop that carried the Detailier black wash, so I got an extra bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiePetes Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I didn't get it today, but for Christmas I got a $100 gift card to Hobbytown USA so I think I'm going to see what they can order. I really want to get the new Revell Buick GNX! Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Winter Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Some TSP to clean some bits and pieces of the 1:1 Project, and a gift a previous owner left, explains the 2x rustier fender on this side and the 1 rim that was a different color (Red, matched the color of the fender I pulled off this side) Not a big deal, no one can see this area on the firewall when everything is re-assembled.

JunkPile Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I wonder if the previous owner still walks with a limp after that hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Winter Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 What kind of car is that, looks pretty cool? Any pics of the whole car? 1969 Plymouth Fury III Convertible (Or as we say in our Circles 27 Car). Started with 2 Stripped and Parted out the Brown car due to severe structural issues and am currently restoring this one Looked something like this until Sunday Looks like this right now A lot of guys would have ran away when they found the many things that I have, a lot might have sold it off or scrapped it, but not me, I don't scare easy and I'm stubborn, sometimes that's an advantage. The car owes me nothing and I truly love the design of these cars, they were truly beautiful when new and hopefully mine will be again in the near future. Nick There is a link to the cars build in my signature * Language and topics as well as comments are truly adult orientated, Not for the faint at heart or for children, it is a forum for Men and Women who are restoring 1:1 cars, and so there is a lot of Garage Talk.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I was going to say be careful with the TSP, as it can really do a number on the grass below, but it looks like that won't be an issue. Make sure you clean out the ductwork, especially around the blower motor resistor. Dry leaves and a hot electric coil do not play well together.

Heater rebuild is on my list of things to do this winter, trying to finish one job before I start another though. I've cleaned out whats seems to be about 35 years worth of tree's and leaves, found some odd stuff in odd places too. Nick Old cars have more stories to tell than most would beleive another fellow on the C body Forum just found out his Newport Limo belonged to the Chicago Knockers Mud Wrestling Team at one point!

LDO Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Modelmartin/Aardvark Models resin Duesenberg "Mudd Coupe" conversion for the Monogram Duesenberg kits. I'm so excited to see ANYTHING aftermarket for a Duesenberg...but this car...wow. If Darth Vader had been around in the 1930s, he would have driven it. I just "bought it now" so I don't have pics yet, but here is the real car: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachinistMark Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I got the rods and pistons out if my 400 and in the scrap bin where they belong! Stock 400 rods are junk for perf use and the pistons had dishes the size of the grand canyon...and they're cast to boot! Pulled the crank as well. Anyone wanna build a 383 for cheap?

crazyjim Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got a new drill, circular saw, light, sawzall, 2 batteries, and a charger from Lowe's. It's their brand - Kobalt.
