I wouldn't normally post something i've printed myself in here but i'm pleased to finally have a 37 lincoln. its scaled down from a multi piece rc body by macone1 on cults. i've got some parts printing again but thats down to me and not the files. there are seperate trim for the headlights, and the hood, fender trim and rear lights are included with it. some parts didn't come out 100% but if this was a damaged plastic kit we would fix it so parts that could be used will be repaired instead of dumped. i could have done this as a rag top also but for now i want a coupe. i've got independent suspension already printed for this and since i dont have a lincoln v12 yet i'm using a merlin ls7. oops, this isn't a build thread, can you tell i'm excited lol

Between the closeout store my wife loves, hobby lobby and harbor freight,  I stocked up. The closeout store has an Amazon returns section,  I found some keyless chucks, sand paper, blades, a torch tip cleaner with the drills and 3 packs of liner pens. All a dollar each.

Half empty display disappeared from the local Wally World and ended up on an end cap in toy section.  Had to Scooby Doo back to the front to grab a cart.

Picked up an extra Monogram Thunderbird turbo coupe the other day because it was cheap and appeared to have an extra body in the box. Arrived yesterday and to my surprise the extra body is a Mark VII and additional parts. Have never personally seen one of these. Wondering what parts are needed to complete it? Would the pro street Mark be used?

Nice score! Looks like you could complete the chassis with the tbird stuff, but will need the new LSC for trim/glass.

Attended the Dunn Loring VA show for the first time in decades. Picked up a beautiful Studebaker, a Plymouth Pickup, a '65 AMT Corvette rebuilder, and 2 resin Corvette Grand Sports.

Very nice haul Gary.  Are the Corvetes better than the plastic kits or Accurate Miniatures one.

Very nice.  The Trumpeter GT40 kits isn’t the best but the prices have dropped a lot since the knock off Magnifer ones flooded the market.

Yes, the Tbird parts should finish it off plus 5.0 from a Monogram Mustang. Just hoping the pro street LSC parts will fit ok since it's 1/25 scale/

More swap meet finds for me. Got these five kits, the "vette was free with the two Nascar kits. It and the thunderbird are built, the vette's ok, thunderbird not so much. Can't complain for five bucks. The two drag cars were had for 25/pair. The pin vises were the big deal, 5 bucks. starrett make really nice tools. I've included the part number in the pic if anyone is looking for a pin vise, and they do sell the separately.

I bought this kit cheap knowing that the box was a mess but the contents where all there and perfect. My thought is to convert it into an auto hauler, similar to a wedge truck. I'll definitely rework the box to make it whole again.

Making this into an auto hauler sounds intriguing! Hope to see it completed.

Cool idea. I have two of these in the stash, and one of them is destined to be a hauler also (and the fire fighting stuff transferred to a Ford C-600). I think the A LaF would make a neat hauler, but I'm having trouble coming up with a suitably cool race car for it to haul. Looking forward to seeing your project once it gets underway.

I found these on the internet, possibly the direction I'd like to head in. I got so caught up in thinking about the hauler I never gave the cargo any thought.. ?.. either of these loads look fine but I'm gonna have to do some more daydreaming.
