That poor old Chevy kit's been in release in one version or another pretty well constantly since it was first issued.

I was totally zeroed in on those '67 wheel covers! These are perfect if you want to build a sleeper '69 with a 396/427. Nosing around on Joseph's site, I see some other goodies I'll be asking him about-----I was just on there for a moment when I saw the '67 Camaro wheels.....I gotta check there more often! Looks like I'll be spending some more money!
Snake45 Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 In '68, Camaro also offered wheel covers that looked remarkably like '63 Impala SS items. .

Scott Colmer Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) I picked these up in the last few weeks. The Dream Machine went for a good price on Ebay. The figures are there. The Edsel is eventually going to be an AWB clone of the super expensive AMT kit. And the fire engine cab was less than a dollar. I am thinking of a cab forward style car hauler with a GM future liner/streamline train vibe. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Edited July 16, 2018 by Scott Colmer
Dann Tier Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 I got a TON of different styrene for my Isdera Imperator build!
disabled modeler Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Scott...That dream machine is very cool...!

I pulled a set of them from an AMT '63 Impala to use on my own MPC '68 Camaro rebuild, to match (more or less) a car in the '68 showroom brochure.
Straightliner59 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I didn't actually get it today, but, I did find it, today, and, I didn't know I had it, so, that's kind of the same thing! Wish I knew where the body went!

64Comet404 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Found this kit at my LHS last night. I have been looking for one (either metal bodied or plastic) for a long time, but could never find one.

smhardesty Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) I traded for the Little Red Wagon and managed to buy the Hurst Olds off eBay for 20 bucks delivered to the door. Two more for the stash! Edited July 19, 2018 by smhardesty

smhardesty Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Thanks. My wife has to haul me to Evansville tomorrow afternoon. The nurse is going to remove the dressing, check to be sure everything is OK, then re-dress it and send me home. As I understand it, I'll then be here in bed or on the couch for the remainder of the 2 weeks. After that I guess it's just hobbling around until everything is healed enough to start walking on it, or learning how to walk again! I haven't even tried to sit down at the bench. Just sitting in a normal position in my recliner causes the dang thing to throb and hurt.
