I usually stick to the much more economical rebuildable projects and reissues of these- but there's just something irresistable about the crisp, bright white plastic of an old MPC annual

Can take a break from accumulating 71-72 Plymouth B bodies- have enough kits to build each factory engine/trans combo of the 71 GTX and 71-72 Road Runner as well as an extra '72 Sebring Plus and base Sebring coupe (remember the ad with the blue Road Runner and almost identically equipped Satellite coupe as a mirror image?)- also enough kits to cover every factory color offered on the 71-72 B bodies

Nice score,I have the 72 Road Runner annual,It's a nice kit for being 38 years old!,By the way,Missing Link just brought out the base correct Satellite Sebring hoods that can be used for both years,these are for the 1/25th scale MPC kits!

[Fuel Coupe]

Got this today. Should say "back". my dad built it in 1972 and gave it to me for my first car. Gave it baack to me today. Not sure when I'll get started on it but it needs everything.

.030 327 13:1 muncie M-22, and a ball to drive. So glad I got her back...

[crazyjim]

A '57 Nomad - what a ride. I'd drop everything I was doing or planned to do with model building and get that puppy back on the street. Excellent looking ride, Shane.

[Fuel Coupe]

AWESOME Nomad Shane!

i know you are into BMX stuff, but i see some hints of a surfer there?

Dave

Sha, Ive partaken in a few tasty waves. Whats a surfer without a wagon...

[highway]

Nice Nomad, Shane. I know one thing it difintely needs, it needs to be in my driveway!!! Seriously, though, have fun with it!

[Guest Mustang3.8]

Nice ride, Shane. What engine has it got? I also really like those wheels.

WHAT I GOT TODAY

Let me give you a little back ground to this story.

I was checking out craigs list and I found this listing for models so I write him and asked him if he still had them so he asked me my name and come to find out it is a old friend from thirty years ago that I hung out with.

Well we met at this Gas station and we got a cup of coffee and hashed old times, 2hrs we sat under that tree and it was like I was twenty again and time just melted away,

So now we are going to keep in touch and get the families together and he says he has a bunch of parts boxies and old paint that he wants to give me....What a great day !!!!!
