The seller had put an alternative set in, wide BBS wheels with slick tyres which shouldn't work, but....

Now I'm thinking perhaps it might?!

Maybe go for a lowered, Montero Evo look. Sort of a street fighter kind of thing?

Bought this today at Michaels with a 40% off coupon….just for parts.?

Do you need the body?

This all came in today. I had a kit that had everything in it except for the body. I tried locating a body here and on numerous forums to no avail. So all this cost me less than what I could buy just a body on eBay for. Enough to build2 kits and have spare parts. 

Did you by a kit for a body?   Good looking Monte Carlo promo!

Went to the lhs to get some primer for an upcoming build, browsed the evergreen racks and got some resupplies, found these Meng bolts and those will save a heck of a lot of scratch building. 

 

Were those at Hobby Wholesale? Great Hobbies?

Good to know somewhere local is starting to carry some accessories like this.

Beautiful looking Ford, I can see how you won. 

[ewetwo]

Picked these up today.

Patience grasshopper...... manifested this decal sheet, which includes some small parts.  I knew this existed, saw a post on Fakebook but didn't want a resin hood and the overseas postage.  I won a Fakebook group build, the prize was a gift certificate with Spot Model, so the cost was a screaming deal.  Thought I hated decals, and always envious of those who can do a carbon-fiber job well.  This is the Andy Warhol BMW "art car".

Okay, now I'm done buying stuff. ?

[Modlbldr]

Got this yesterday in a trade. Complete/sealed inside. 

Later-

That's real pretty...   

[Ace-Garageguy]

One of these, mostly to get some parts recommended by a builder I have much respect for. About 1/2 the average price too.  

 

[Roadrunner]

Finally! I was able to pick up another pristine, still sealed kit of this.

[redscampi]

The other day I grabbed this. Seller said for parts, don't know if complete (It is, with instructions).

There was also a complete Woodstock Woody mostly on sprue in the same box and a few bits from a third kit. This kit was just missing instructions. 

And...a 1968 version MPC Fire Truck, mint in a very nice box. This one does not have "Chuck Miller's" credit on the front of the box.

Can you tell I'm on a C-cab kick?

Yep! A couple posts on the Ollie's thread prompted me to check out the local store. Sure enough there were some new kits!
