Roadkill2525 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 but most importantly, I got my IROC running after 5 years!!!!! and If I do say so myself, it sounds ###### good running open headers, even if it is only a 305 TPI motor...!!! Its about time!!
LVZ2881 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Its about time!! tell me about it!!! I am having my full exhaust done next month, and still need to order my Eibachs, adjustable panhard bar, rear lower control arms and my global west frt control arm del-a-lum bushing kit..then its a full suspension rebuild. hope to have it on the road by the end of october.
ffreak Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I got the new Revell Challenger and an amazing Ferrari F1 book courtesy of a wonderful friend. Great for reference when I build my F1 Ferrari kits. The Challenger looks VERY cool. Can't wait to get started on it. Way to go Revell, you done good !!!!
dwc43 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 I picked up the kit for the micro chisel that has the round tips and an extra set screw and wrench. Mine stripped the set screw out after using it just a couple times. Glad it was the screw instead of the handle though. Picked up some paint and Alclad too. All from Hobby Town. Did not find any kits worth getting at either HT or Hobby Lobby. They are starting to let me down. Guess I'll have to stick with getting them off the net when I can.
LVZ2881 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 went to the LHS today and picked up the following: Scale Aviation monthly Tamiya TS-14 Black spray Tamiya Matt Black spray and a Fujimi Porsche 911 RSR kit..
RodneyBad Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I received my Johan 62 Rambler American Convertible today. Anybody want to guess what part is missing?
shlajh02 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 An AMT '40 Willys coupe/pickup. I am going to make it into a KS Pittman replica. Slixx is getting expensive...
RodneyBad Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 um, all of it? Dave Ding! Ding! Ding! Alright Arty, tell the man what he won. Well ya won a rare box of nothingness Yaaaaaaaaaaaa He claimed it doesn't know anything about models and thought a model box full of plastic was a kit. I don't believe he does either. there is some custom parts that could be used somewhere. but at least i"m getting my $$ back and able to keep the box. now to find the model to put in it. Live and learn.
E St. Kruiser50 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Thank goodnes for friends. I just got one of two HOLY GRAILS today, that I've wanted for years. I was talking to a friend who has a pretty extensive collection, and I was telling him what I was looking for, and he had them both, including a few others OOP, and was willing to sell them to me - LUCKY GUY . I also got the '34 from him, and then I stopped at my LHS and got the new AMT Camaro. I haven't opened it yet, but it looks pretty cool. Here's the HOLY GRAIL. This is a super rare model of a super rare car. Besides everything else, I love super-cars and exotics. This car is both, wrapped into one. It's a 1955 Mercedes SLR 300 Uhlenhaut Coupe'. The kit was made by Revell of Germany. It's an absolutely stunningly beautiful kit. The detailing is exsquisite! The real car was a cross-breed between the 300 SL Coupe' and the SLR roadster race car. Ulenhaut worked at Mercedes and had two of these street versions built. Because of the provenance and the rarity, these are multi-million dollar cars now. This will be a jem to build.
E St. Kruiser50 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 beautiful SLR!!!!! are those are to find? Only seen one on ebay in 5 years. Got this one from a friend.
Ashhh1991 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I got my aoshima toyota hi lux mini truck, already got it done! Woo.

elan Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I bought 4 cans of Testors spray paint. I'm trying not to buy kits until I thin out my pile, which may take a while.
BigGary Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Tuesday I picked up an AMT Intern'l Paystar 5000 at a very good price, too good to pass up even though I'm not a truck modeler. I just couldn't resist a good deal. Now, what to do with it? Hmm... Gary

Ken Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) but most importantly, I got my IROC running after 5 years!!!!! and If I do say so myself, it sounds ###### good running open headers, even if it is only a 305 TPI motor...!!! Did the same thing, picked up another vintage Toyota. Got myself an 86 cressida and my buddy got an 89 cressida. Paid 500$ total for both cars. My 86 just needed a fuel pump. 20$ and an hour later she came to life after 8 long years of sitting in some guy's driveway. Next up is parts swapping to make it a 5 speed instead of the slushbox it is now. Oh yeah, I also picked up a Hasagawa (spelling???) 70s S30 Fairlady Z. Now comes the task of finding some choice wheels for it. Good luck with the IROC!!! Edited July 24, 2009 by Ken
Rob Hall Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Got 3 old kits in the mail today from eBay. AMT '67 Falcon, '67 Cougar, '66 Riviera. The Riviera is in a '66 Polara conv. box. The Falcon and Cougar have the original boxes and instructions, all restorable. All have the original trim intact, and the chrome. The Falcon needs a bit of work (someone removed the B-pillars--thinking I can cut some from a '69 Nova body maybe) and one hubcap is missing. Anyone have a source for '67 Falcon hubcaps? The Modelhaus has '66 ones, but I don't have my '66 kit handy to compare and see if they are the same or not.
pstreet Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Picked up this Tom Daniels taxi for cheap at the hobby shop today. It apparently came from a private collection, hope all the parts are there.
Roadkill2525 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 For my birthday I got a Craftsman 192piece Mechanic Tool set.
caine440 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Hello I was very happy to get a resin 1973 Dodge Colt Pro Stocker off ebay today. Now what to build ???
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Got an AMT '69 Mustang annual builder. Not the current ex-MPC version, but the original AMT. It was a nice kit for a good price. It's already disassembled and soaking in the purple pond. I have an unbuilt one so now I have two. That is, until I get my next order from Missing Link for two resin ones. I have plans to build a '69 Mach 1, Boss 302 and Boss 427 in 1:25 scale with one left over for something else.
RodneyBad Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I love the Honda Convertible. And since I got some Great Portland Police Decals for cars I need a Police officer.
