One as a camper and one to build as a memory.. it came up recently on the Pirmasens Germany US Army Post board on Facebook. Back when I lived on the post from 1969-72 there was Pete the vegetable man who drove around post, especially near the housing areas and even near our school selling vegetables, fruit and candy. As a kid we bought Haribo brand Gummi candy (marketed as Gummy in the USA). Aside from the trademark bears, there were other flavors and shapes, some as loose candy. Pete would count them out into a paper cone. As you have figured by now, Pete vended from a green and white window van. I’d like to build it. its a nice looking kit Tom, I have it in front of me and will be posting the contents when i have my camera handy. Even before opening the box i was impressed by the weight of it and the molding is good.

OldNYJim Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 I’ve been eyeing this in Michael’s for a couple of weeks and finally broke down today - I’ve been wanting a lit display case and this fit the bill...$65 instead of $130 provided I ordered online but collected in store: Looks cool on the wall! I want to add some brackets underneath tomorrow to support it to make sure we don’t have any issues, but I’m pleased with it!
slusher Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Really nice shelf. Really great LED lighting!

In my late teens, one of my best buddies had a ‘69 Beaumont,(same body style, ’68 and ‘69 only). Later in my 20’s I bought a ‘69 Chevelle to restore...but unfortunately I was living in an apartment at the time and it was WAY too rusty for my talents at the time, so I sold it.?☹️ Edited October 10, 2020 by NOBLNG
Scott Colmer Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 These arrived a while ago. Love those showrods. Sad goodbye to an old friend. Looking forward to the reanimation of MCM.
Quiet Eric Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Hobby Lobby sale today...the Camaro will get all of the pro street goodies from the Chevelle. Not sure what to do with the off roaders yet.

Which is why the Cabrio has been reissued, but there was only ever a single run of the Coupe. They did the same thing with the 8 Series BMW in a time before people wrapped their minds around not destroying things to make other things out of them. Thanks for that info!

BlackSheep214 Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Yeah... those are definitely oldies that brought back a flood of memories of my younger years. I had done the 55 Chevy Street Machine in the 70s and my sister did the California Street Vette Kit back then too. Told her what I got and she asked if I remembered the huge Corvette kit she did. I knew what one she was talking about. Talk about taking up a good chunk of display space. LOLOL!

I’m pretty pleased with it! Didn’t trust the mounts (not that I have any reason not to, but I wanted some redundancy) so I picked some little ones up at Ace Hardware this morning and I think we’re all set now...

That looks great. Did it come with a plexiglass front? If not, you might want to consider having a glass company cut you one. Cheap way to keep the dust out.
kelson Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Received from M.A.D. my Mercury M-100 conversion sets and found this chrome at the hobbystore yesterday.?

Sam I Am Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I am going to have to get one of those M-100 conversion sets, and kit. My father-in-law just bought this.

No sir, it didn’t - but someone I follow on Instagram did exactly that and added a Perspex front. Seems like a good idea!

LDO Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Sixteen issues of Model Car Science from 1963-1965, including the premier issue. I was only after November 1964, but I saw this listing on eBay. They are all in very good condition. I think the price was fair. Probably less than I would have spent mail ordering 16 issues, and I didn’t spend months buying them one at a time. I’m pretty happy.
