Man it's been a looong time since I've seen that car. I remember watching him race in that car when I was a kid at my grandparents house. OMG!!! That's been over 32 years ago!!!! sSig_eeeek_zps60562610.gif

Man that camper looks like a great find Brad! Lots of opportunity for detail with that one!!

Kevin: Lookin' forward to seeing the outcomes of those kits.

I picked this up this morning off of Ebay for $75.00 to include shipping. These kits were rare in the fact that they were only made for one year in 1978 so they go for $150+ nowadays. I had one as a kid and always wanted a second shot at one. Looks like I've got one now.,,,,, Chewy_zpsdjygjnjt.gif

A different set of wheels and tires, some cool 1/25 scale accessories and some Alclad here and there.......

Would love to see a review on this one. An interesting looking kit.

The two Revell Ford Panels and the two S&H Torinos (one is with my sister for a birthday present) were each $14. All the rest was $40, and the GTO sans-custom parts is going to my sister, as well.

Got some HW and MBX cars, too: Custom Chevy Luv, Coronet Superbee, Bone Shaker, Chevelle SS396, Porsche 934 RSRT, Chevy II, Supra, Fiat 500, and a Sedan DeVille.

Agreed.

When I get it in the mail I'll open it up and shoot some pics. There's no chrome in the kit but from what I remember as a kid it wasn't hurting for detail OOB.

Nice Score!! One of my all time favorite kits! Luckily I have a couple in the stash along with all the other versions of it. 

Last issued as the 70's Custom Van, minus all the off road goodies.

I recently purchased this kit specifically for the camper, as I intend to do a ’59 El Camino w/camper, just like the one I had as a kid, but the ’59 w/camper seems to be very difficult to find, and way too expensive when I do see them.

I got a box of parts with the stuff I got today. I think the camper for this is in it.

Shoot me a message and we can dicker on it.

*Well, this is actually just the cap from the Gear Hustler... if you're interested in it, though...*

If anyone is interested in the Rolls, the Auburn Pyro kit, the Imperial, or the Hyper Hut, message me.

OK, while ordering a Christmas present for a friend (the '68 Charger), I also went ahead and threw a '71 GTX in the box for me. Both arrived yesterday (from Model Roundup), and I'm quite pleased with their service.

Kudo's to Dave Metzner and the good folks at Moebius Models....

A replacement cab for the 71 Ford Pickup from Moebius Models arrived in the mail yesterday....

I purchased it from an online seller and found it was damaged upon opening the box....

I spoke with Dave at the Detroit Show and he assured me their Customer Service would take good care of me....

Now that's the way to do business ....

Just now, I got issue #197 from the mail...

From first glance, It's a winner....

Also, I took the time to call Golden Bell Press and re-upped my sub for two more years....

This is my Christmas present to me....

Later....

Cool score!!! I just got an older version of that GTX at the last model show I was at. Nice kits Kevin!!!

Thanks, Joe. I've always liked the look of the '71 body style, and I seriously like the '68 Charger, so I'll be grabbing one of those for myself as well. Next month I think it'll be the '59 El Camino, for one of my "grail" projects.

Here's a pic of this mean mudder kit from a current auction...

I've seen this picture somewhere. Probably in my search for it. I'm currently gathering some AM items for it like a set of aluminum Centerlines and some 295/ 50's already. The ideas are running wild in my head right about now......

Thanks. And, nope.:P

I've been wanting this for about 5 years but,couldn't spare the cash.I was surprised when she handed me the money to get it.
