Those are neat looking kits…

Got the MRC Texaco gas pumps with island today (unbuilt copies).. The Width of the pumps look right, but the height is way to tall . So I cut em' down some before building them.

Only model purchase from the Dayton toy show Sunday......

It' s missing the rims and apparently the intake system, but it was $10

Where did you get them?

Found a little batch of old Testors clear enamel - I’ll be sad when I’ve used the last of this stuff that I can find...

I normally get a couple of regular size bodies out of each of these jars though, so I’m good for probably 15-20 builds depending on what I build in the next couple of years...

Well, I must be popular because ewetwo sent me some fan mail:

An evening's work and now it looks a bit more like the one from the '70 Wildcat:

Thanks David! 

Also scored a couple cans of Testor's Metalizer Aluminum and a can of Fabric Tan on $1.67 clearance from the Deerfield Hobby Lobby. Was hoping they'd have the GTO Super Stocker, but not yet.

Examples of these fly over my house quite frequently. Odd looking things.

Hobby Lobby clearance rack find today:

Last clearance kit I got said it was missing the tires too (but it wasn’t?!) - this one was missing the tires and then some.  The wheels, the entire interior, the decals, the instructions...almost wasn’t worth the gamble this time around...

That said I’m sure I’ll find a home for the engine, which is nicely done, and the rear end and Ive got a useful frame with front and rear suspension that I can drop some other body onto...I’ll get my $7.49’s worth out of it!

Yesterday I went to Hobbies Unlimited in San Leandro CA and bought Revell's 1956 Chevy Del Ray.  I also got several cans of Tamiya spray paint. 

[ZTony8]

Yesterday I got two of the re-done AMT '64 Cutlass convertibles, the Grumpy Jenkins Vega, and the AMT VW GTI Mk.1 from LHS along with the Revell '70 Trans-Am and some of the close out Testor paint from Hobby Lobby.

My oldest son brought these to me today! 

Found at an antique shop for 10 bucks each.

The Model T kit is complete.

The Matadoor has all the stock parts except headlights, taillights, front turn signal lenses, swaybar and decals.

Great classic kits.  Some day I hope to get a Matador.

Bought this online last week and the mailman delivered it today.

I just got this one today. Pic from EBay listing. Nice little kit. Odd thing...The kit came from a distance of about 20 miles from my home. I open the kit and a stamp inside the box lid says Marks Model Mart. plus the address and state which is in Phoenix. How far did this little box travel to eventually get to me? I can imagine several people saw and bought this and sold off several times by different people.  It found it's forever home with me.
