FASTBACK340 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What did I get today? Disappointed that my LHS still doesn't have the Manx kit. They have the Hudson & Munsters Coachkits, but no VW. Speaking of VW's... Sam: Cool `66! Good luck with it! All the old VW's have finally disintegrated here on the East coast. Finding a solid, running car like yours would command quite a bit more than what you STOLE IT for.... Good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a solid, running car like yours would command quite a bit more than what you STOLE IT for.... Good for you. Speaking of the Manx, I bought one the other day, and it CLEARLY states on the bottom of the box in the parts overview, "Molded in METALLIC PURPLE unless otherwise indicated" It also says "Molded in METALLIC PURPLE, clear and Transparent Blue" also on the bottom by the AMT logo, I was pretty exited to open the box and see how it looked in this "METALLIC PURPLE" but to my dismay, its all WHITE! AGH!!!! Now, I noticed another Manx kit at another LHS that, in the same places, stated "Molded in WHITE or METALLIC RED" WTF?? Anyway, thanks John, wish me luck in getting it registered this Friday, I already bought a 2 1/2" drop spindle kit and lots of interior stuff for it!

RoadRunner1083 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Saw a great post with some of these and it gave me some ideas so I ran out and bought one of the kits. And while I was there I found this..... And This, My find of the day! It was damaged and opened so I asked the manager if he could give me a discount. He said he would. I was thinking 5 or 6 dollars off, but he knocked it from $17.99 to $5.00!!!! Thanks for looking! Got some stuff to keep me busy for a while!

Mike Kucaba Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I got two sets of very nicely done 19 inch Chevy Rally wheels form VCG resin. Craig was very pleasant to deal with, utilizes Paypal, and does very nice casting. A BIG Thumbs up :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
