Just picked up a complete Johan 1962 Plymouth Fury interior.

I needed the tub to cut up for my current 1963 Fury build, so if anybody needs a '62 Fury dash, steering wheel & seat belts, let me know.

Picked up another glooey 1/24 Renault Dauphine a while back. Now I have 2...one to restore, one to hack up.

I've always liked them, ever since I bought one with a blown head gasket for about $35 back in the mid 1970s. Good little car. Slow but willing, and hard to beat an honest 40MPG.

There were a few 2-door cars built.    

There were also some custom-bodied cars, and though I think those below are P'shopped, something similar is what I have in mind...but with a hot Porsche 4-banger.

  

I'm also considering pulling molds, and doing at least one altered or gasser.   

About the same time, I scored a clean unbuilt one of these. 

I chopped and channeled a gluebomb some time back, and liked the kit so much, I've been after a virgin.  

One of these followed me home too. After answering a tech question here, I realized I had nothing like the blower on this car. Now I do. Found a complete kit cheap.

I think I saw one of those at Walmart this morning. But it looked bigger than 1/24-1/25, so I left it there.

I had a license from IH trucks to build 1/50 scale IH 5600i diecast with Conrad in Germany. This model was replaced by the 7000 series.

I found this resin kit on EBAY and received it July 27. Who ever did the casting did a great job the frame is straight and cab is square. There is 1 mirror missing but I have extras from Conrad.

This appears to have been a copy of the cement mixer as it has water tanks for the side of the frame. Tire seems to be in round so now to figure out how to build it, demi tractor maybe.

Stopped in Hobby Lobby to pick up a 24x36 frame for my new "Bullitt" poster.  Frames were 50% off this weekend, so that saved me 10 bucks.  That left a 40% coupon burning a hole in my cellphone.  So I picked up the last AMT "75th Anniversary" White Freightliner SD/DD kit they had on the shelf.  I don't build many trucks but that's a really nice one, especially with all the options and extras.

Good to see you were able to get a couple more. I left one on the shelf at HL today that wasn't there a week ago. I noticed they still showed them in stock online a couple days ago when I was browsing their site.

I had been planning on buying my 4th Tamiya paint stand, but when I saw there was two and wanting to build 2 while I still have a spare, just in case, I figured they will still have the stands next weekend.

I got one to build like the 440 Six Pack/4 Speed/Super Track Pack car  my parents had back in the day, then maybe do another as a tribute-ish car that would be a late model Hemi (maybe the 392 out of the prepainted Challenger kits, since I have 3 of those....) and painted the Moss Green Pearl my 1:1 Cherokee is painted.

I got my first.. and not last.. order from The Sales Shack today.  I am very impressed with them.  They packed the big box well.

[smhardesty]

How do you find product on The Sales Shack site? I go there and there is nothing listed under their "Products" when I click on "Shop". I can't find anything at all.

Go to the home page: https://thesalesshack.net/

Click on Shop at the top of the page which should take you here: https://thesalesshack.net/shop?olsPage=products

This should be the View All Products view which currently goes on for 86 pages. Below on the left is a list of several sub-category filters allowing you to filter by make of car or kit manufacturer, etc. I generally use their search box at the top of the page and search on the appropriate text, i.e. Revell 32 Ford Coupe, etc.

What I described above works for me. I'm using a 1600 x 900 dpi monitor and the first 3 product images show on the page (right now Tamiya paint stand set new in box, Men’s XL Model Hut T-Shirt, and 1969 Ford F100 Factory Sealed sorted by Most popular, which appears to be the default). If you can't see what I described I suspect it has to do with the type of computing device (cell phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) and the browser your using and specific settings you have.

I got it now. Seems my hardware firewall didn't like the site's images. Had to make an exception. I'll spend some time browsing tomorrow. Thanks.

Glad you got it working.

Had someone whose dad died, had a bunch of models, many still wrapped, with price tags like $1.49.  Some kits were started.  The coolest I got is an IMC (Industro Motive Corp.) Ford GTP J car that was painted a bad white, easy save.  Also got a Datsun pickup "California Sunshine" that was started, would make a cool autocross rig.  Lindberg 1935 Auburn Speedster wrapped, Aurora Maserati 3500 GT, Monogram Cord 812, Monogram 1934 Duesenberg Weyman Torpedo Phaeton, and some other kits was my haul.
