This paint arrived that was ordered from Amazon . Last time I purchased these they were around 12 bucks a can . On this order they were about 18 bucks each !   I guess this is the world we live in now . I wonder if they are less at the order store ??? Will have to check it next time I need these .

They've gone up for sure, I've just paid $20 for the 1k clear at AutoZone. Up from $16 about 3 weeks ago...

My son worked on a fire damaged house and gave me this that he found. No box top, instructions or decals but everything else looks like it's there.

On returning from a holiday in the Algarve in Portugal, it was Father's Day. My youngest son had bought me this..

We only see a few of these in the UK both on the road and track.

As I have a few VW van/camper van kits on the shelf, I bought this for inspiration for a sometime next build..

I ordered back on February 21 and there was a backlog due to a large number of orders.  Shipped 5/13.  Arrived here 5/31 but we were away on a trip, and it sat at the PO until today.  He was quite up front about it and I've no problems on previous orders either.  You can always message him and get an estimate.

I've had my eyes open for a replacement exhaust/rear axle/driveshaft unit for a '66 GTO promo; fortunately the kit part is the same:

Either it'll help me restore it, or help the next owner do the same (and help me sell or trade it ).

Driving home this morning and saw a Yard Sale sign. Stopped to find most of the normal garbage. I asked if they had any model kits. The guy brought out these that he had said he had for years. Both complete and unstarted. The Duster is still sealed inside. Got them both for $15. Now I'm looking for more Yard Sales on the way home. Just stopped at my second. Lol.

Nice find. All we get around here is baby BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH.

Got home and these were waiting on me from the Postman. Got them off of Marketplace. The bagged kit is a 68 or 69 Olds- not sure. The AMX is in decent shape and complete. Glad to have another with the stock hood. Got the AMX for $15 and the Olds for $10.

A friend keeps finding me models at thrift stores and todays is the best so far,will restore the 60 Edsel and find hoods for the 65 Fury and Coronet and get them both restored.  I should have the parts to build the 40 Ford coupe and will try to make one 36 Ford and maybe do something with the Buick and Lincoln.

[Oldcarfan27]

More pics please! I never find great stuff like that at any of my thrift stores. 

[junkyardjeff]

I will try to save all of them but need parts,since I have a couple stock 57 T birds this one will be built as a gasser with a 427 SOHC.  This is the oldest batch he has found.
