Just found it at my LHS

I didn't know that Ford was coming. Nice!

[Tom Geiger]

On it’s way!

Funny story.. the other day in someone’s under glass thread for this kit, I commented that it had gone up over $100 and that was too much for me for this kit. Then on a whim I checked eBay and there were a few for more than $100. Then I spotted this one on a Buy It Now for $59. It also had a Make Offer and I bid $45 and seller came back at $50 so I bought it.

Just picked all of this up from a local guy on FB Marketplace. Some are complete and some are started with possible parts missing. The Race team is missing the flopper car and the SL 300 looks to have two complete cars in the box. 

I don't build semi stuff but got it for sale/trade fodder.

Also stopped on the way home and picked up 9 cans of paint on clearance for $27.

The race team box had  an application for Class C or D Station License in the Citizen Radio Service and temporary permit paperwork for Class D Citizen Radio Station from 1975 and 1976  and a fold out paper diagram of how to install a CB in your 1/2 ton pickup! 

Later-

Did it happen to come with an extra taillight and steering wheel? 

?

[RSchnell]

These two came in the mail today. I still need about 5 more of each kit however!

Picked up a load of Tamiya TS cans and Humbrol/Revell enamel pots from a local model shop at the weekend, good to see them open again.

This lot came in today's post:

Matchbox/AMT box was a surprise, it contained the Owens Corning Corvette 427 which was purchased unboxed but it appears to be fully complete. Nice wheels with it, and it appears to be something I can build as hi-po road car with a bit of rummaging through the parts box.

Thunderbird will probably be an engine donor, the supercharged V6 would go nicely into an AMT Ford Courier build I'm planning - someone had already assembled it, as expected it's slightly shorter than the Courier's 4-cyl engine. I'm not immediately getting excited by the rest of the kit, although I am wondering if its IRS set-up could swap into an earlier Mustang/Thunderbird?

Honda City is one I've built before, but it got melted by the sun.  This is the the third replacement I've bought (one picked up some damage in transit), I'm determined to have another go at it! This appears to be an old 1980s issue.

Could you show what else comes with these bodies? I've been thinking about his 69 Polara

I have the ‘70 Polara 4dr also.  They all come with bumpers/grilles, lenses for lights, door handles.  No interiors or chassis. 

[Danno]

How's the quality, scale, and fidelity?

The Mopars are quite nice.  The caster (Robert Burns) posts on here occasionally.   The Impala and Cadillac (from A&J Resins) need a bit of cleanup.  The Cadillac will work w/ the Revell Custom Coupe de Ville.

What donor would be a good donee for the Polara?

I have heard of people using the JoHan ‘68 Fury, but those aren’t easy to find.  I’m thinking of using an MPC ‘77 Monaco, the chassis and interior tub fit, will need to lengthen the wheelbase a bit by moving back the rear axle...

I think he already did one a few months ago. Search his  site, you'll find it.
