ChevyCoupe41 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I got these yesterday from local model car show.
simonr Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 You scored big, specially on that 914...How much you paid for it? Simón P. Rivera Torres Swap meet
signguy2108 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 It's a drag car, so I'll put it here! Found this at a yard sale Sat. Body, int. & chassis is complete, minus motor. Check out the original price on the box. That was a dept. store in town. The '67 Camaro is a complete body, int. & chassis, minus motor, wheels & frt. bumper. Anyone know what kit it was? It has an ss hood, ss grille with hideaway h/l. The chevy truck & the buick bank were separate items. All together, they cost me $2!!!
DSHWoodworks Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Stopped at Hobby Town and Hobby Lobby, picked up these two kits and some paint.

Bigfordguy Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Got these on Friday in the mail from Hobby Search, still waiting for my package from plaza Japan
Tom Geiger Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I went to the Super September Showdown Sunday today in Gilbertsville, PA. I used to drive 2 hrs to this show. Now that I live in PA it's a half hour on country roads! Anyway, here's the loot... The vendor area was healthy with a lot of guys with cheap kits. Deora minus glass $5 (I just wanted the slant six) and '33 Ford street rod minus instructions, decals and one bumper mount $10. I've been playing with these and needed another parts kit. The price was right. An old boat trailer for $3. It does have velvet on it, so I will probably add a deck and it can be the trailer for the Olde Kustom Kollection. 30 something little plastic cars for $5. I had these as a kid and just wanted the bag of them! And an old built up of the SMP '61 Chevy pickup in a nice box for $20. No hood, no grill and the tail gate was hacked away. Dig that corduroy! Some odd parts in the box for the optional stake bed and trailer. Not enough to do anything. And a clean near complete decal sheet. The custom grill is a '61 Dodge unit. So I made out pretty well for a $43 investment!
crazyjim Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I don't ever remember seeing that '33 street rod. Is it a nice kit?
Tom Geiger Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I don't ever remember seeing that '33 street rod. Is it a nice kit? there are two kits, the '33 has a street rod modern interior and chassis. The '34 is pretty much the same kit, but with stock interior and chassis suspension. People have said that the body has issues, such as the roof being too square and the hood being too long. I started out with the '34 that I did the rat rod, and have another body sectioned. I wanted more to play with. Here's the '34 body (same exact part in the '33 kit) that I sectioned. I need to build a chassis and interior for it.
Nick Winter Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 A 350.. IMG_20130908_105542.jpg Doesn't look as pretty as my 318 I went and got This today for my Fury, On his 45th Birthday none the less. ('69 318 2 Barrel, 68,000 Miles original, All new gaskets, came out of the '69 Coronet it was original too in the spring) Nick (extremely happy camper)
Jordan White Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Found these on a clearance table at a local hobby shop (Hub Hobby for any Minnesotans), $65 after tax for what would have probably cost almost triple that at their retail prices!
MachinistMark Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Your 318 only looks so pretty cause some kind should painted it to look like a Chevy... Got the heads and oil pan off my 350, and the bores look great. No step at the top of the cylinder and they still all have the original cross hatch. Lifters and lifter bores are tip top as well. This is great news.
TooOld Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I had one of these as a kid back in the 60's and have been looking for one but I didn't like the idea of spending $100 for one . I finally came across this one for $35 plus $12 shipping ! And for a first test I used an old Corvette nose from my junk pile .
Daddyfink Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Those vac-u-form kits are cool! I need to keep an eye out for one.
Maindrian Pace Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Ironically, I just picked up this professional dental lab vacuum forming machine today. Soon, I'll be making glass for, oh, things. -MJS
