Your new scores

[Deleted]

NICE scores Bruce! -Any chance a better pic of the Hemi Valve covers?

[dogfish7 (R.I.P.)]

Thought you might ask. I'll see what I can do. The 392 covers on the right are Mickey Thompsons and are very good quality, even though my photos don't show it.

[Deleted]

Bruce,
You know me well I see LOL

Who molded those/sold 'em? I ask as the 426 Hemi covers on the right are actually Jo-Hans designed covers (I have them!) BUT the 392's are NIICE too, and I also have those as well!

[dogfish7 (R.I.P.)]

A friend of mine in PA, is a second generation caster. Ed makes mostly Traditional Rod parts and hangs out on the TRaK forum. I can PM you his email address if you like. The covers are for a Ken Kul Dragster I hope to build some day.

Bruce,
What part of PA? (I'm originally from PA myself!) So I have to ask....

As for those tho, the "master copy" used to mold those valve covers was Jo-Hans, I have Jo-Hans originals! -I too have a mold made for them as well. that is, if these are the "Finned" "M/T" 426 Hemi valve covers I think from the pics they are. and those were on a few Jo-Hans kits!

[dogfish7 (R.I.P.)]

Ed's from Nicholson, PA.

Thats cool hes just north of Scranton, PA!!!! I myself am originally from Somerset, PA!

[dogfish7 (R.I.P.)]

Allot of talented people in PA.

I should post what I got "NEW" for 2017, yeah? Lets see what John got for 2017......

Seen above, I got an old MPC '69 Charger 500..... With most its parts! I have a grille for it, I need to mold that grille tho, as now I have 2 of these cars, and only ONE grille! Also seen here is a Revell '68 Charger R/T! Mostly complete, but partly built! All in trade!

Better pic of the '68 Charger R/T....


Parts to the '68 Charger R/T!!!!

Better pic of the MPC '69 Charger 500.... With some other parts that came in that same trade!

More parts in that trade, can be used on ANYTHING really.... The '69 Charger R/T grille, I'm not sure where that came from but I can tell ya where its gonna be used! LOL

I like the Dodge "Steel Wheels" BUT there is only 3 of them! BUT the Mopar Big Block valve covers I LOVE!!!!! Those have to be thee BEST Mopar Big Block Valve covers I've seen yet in chrome!!!! Even has holes in them for valve cover breathers as well as PCV valve and or a oil fill cap! (Anyone know what these came with? The bottoms of them had 2 LONG pins to be mounted into the heads. I THINK they might be Jo-Hans parts (for their quality, but I'm NOT sure!) I've never seen Chrome versions as well proportioned before!

Same trade as all in this posting so far, but 3 engines! One engine is to a Viper (NOT sure what one, but seemingly a snap-together kit), Two, a Revell 426 Hemi partly assembled, and Three, looks to be a 426 Max-Wedge, customized, that maybe came in the '49 Merc kit? (It came with exhaust manifolds that seem to be from that kit, but I could be wrong!

An almost complete AMT-Ertl '70 Coronet Super Bee "Pro-Street" kit engine of the 426 DOHC Hemi! I have the block but needed all the parts seen here!!!!

[Deleted]

Then the following day, I wound up getting some more in the mail, also in trade!



You see 3 of my FAVORITE cars here, ALL are 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee's BUT ALL will be made differently and if I have my way, at least one of them will be a '70 Coronet R/T hardtop, (I'm already working on a '70 Coronet R/T Convertible!) And I do plan to make one a "Show Car '70 Coronet 2 door wagon!

Heres more from that same trade with the 3 Coronets, belts for a 426 DOHC Hemi, a 440 4 barrel intake and stock air cleaner! Then followed by some resin cast 426 Max-Wedge exhaust manifolds known as the Ram-Horn manifolds! THOSE make me HAPPY! LOL


An almost complete kit by Lindberg of Richard Petty's '64 Plymouth Belvedere! (All it needs is a frame!)

Yeah, I NEEDED License Plates, other then those I have but something "Different".....


Plymouth Roadrunner decals, GOD how I needed & wanted that little word "PLYMOUTH" my '68 Plymouth Roadrunner will NOW be completed!!!!!

Mopar "stock" Pie-Tin" decals for on the air cleaners! The Commando 426 one I wanted like nothing you can imagine! The 340 4 Barrel, 383 4 Barrel and 440 Magnums I needed terribly!!!!!
Thats all I got recently, however, I'm expecting more in the next week or so! -I'ma happy model builder to say the least!

[BUCKY]

Right nice looking pile of MOPAR plastic, dude!! Where did the pie tin decals come from? I don't have any that look that good!

[Deleted]

Thanks Bucky!!! I do my share of Mopar horse trading for things I want and need by the stuff I mold in resin! As for the Pie-Tin decals, I don't know what kit they came from I THINK, that 426 Commando one came from the Lindberg '64 Dodge 330 (the stock model) OR the 'Lindberg '64 Plymouth Belvedere stock kit, I'm not sure which one tho (I confuse the parts between these 2 all the time!)

The 383 4 Barrel one I believe may have been with the Revell '70 Dodge Challenger R/T 2n1 kit that has the car yellow on the box. It is the 1/25th version too, NOT the 1/24th scale kit! The 1/24th scale kit is the '70 Challenger T/A ONLY! The R/T comes with the 383 in it what has the heads and intake all molded one piece! The T/A has a 340 6 pack in it, mostly seen molded in Sublime green! As it was Sublime green on the box!

The 440 Magnum ones, I have no clue where they came from (IF ya look) they're both slightly different!..... They're in so many model kits I could type you a mile long list of them! Lets see:

MPC '74 Plymouth Roadrunner (this kits decals has some REAL engine option decals in it!)
AMT '71 Dodge Charger R/T,
Revell '68 Dodge Dart GTS
Revell '69 Dodge Charger R/T
Revell '68 Dodge Charger R/T

Those are the ones that would have THEE BEST looking 440 Magnum or 440 4 barrel Pie Tins that I can think of off the top of my head!

Well I haven't got much for model building updates and I haven't added anything ot my Stash in awhile BUT, I got a little in the mail this week! SO, I'll use that as my update for my contribution!
In a trade, (naturally) I got a nice little box from a guy that wants a couple engines of mine, as well as having a few of the new castings I have planned when done! So this is what he sent in trade, (And I knew of some of it), but quite a BIT of it came as a surprise! And I'm pleased with that all for the trade, (A good surprise, is always nice!)

Overall of the whole "lot".... YEP Dodge truck parts!!! (I am planning and fore-going a search for parts) I want to build a Crew Cab 70's Dodge truck! Its starting to look like it may actually happen! I also had need for a few Step-Side Dodge beds, WELL I got those (all complete too!) With their tailgates! And some interesting parts as well!

This one took me by surprise! That black hood! I'm not planning a "pulling Dodge truck BUT. thats the hood for one of them! The Blue hood WAS one too but the guy cut the center out and made it somewhat similar to the early 70's hoods like the Lil Red Express truck had!

An extra cab, for my Crew-Cab build! (this is headed for the purple pond!) Its setting on an extra frame too, thats NOT glued to it, its merely only setting there. I got the front inner fenders as well from a 2nd frame too! SO, I'll be using A LOT of all this in upcoming trucks I have planed to build!

And heres all those Step-Side beds!!!! I'm happy to have them, but was only expecting one, the guy I asked him and he said ENJOY (I'm glad they got a good home) and that they did!

Some interesting engine parts! The headers to the pulling truck is seen here as well as what looks like Mopar big block parts.... I'm just not sure where those heads and valve covers came from (what kit!?) as the heads are nicely detailed right side up, and the valve covers be GREAT for making the engine have a aftermarket look to it. -They's be great parts for that! Also seen here is a belt set-up for A/C (Boy, I can use that one! AND it came with the compressor for it too!) I was not expecting that little addition! NOR was I expecting the '78 Thunder Struck Pulling truck parts either!

Miscellaneous little parts.... And some MORE Little Red Express "stacks" too!
Pretty pleased with this trade, not a lot, but enough and what I got well if I wanted too, I could make yet a whole truck out of the parts seen here!!!!! Not gonna happen that way tho! But is a possibility!

[coupestang]

NICE SCORE!!!!! I just got a Box left on my front porch, no address, no name (just MY address on the box is present) and no mail delivery, as there was nothing from the post office, or shipping label SO I assume it was "dropped off". Thing has to weight 50 pounds if not more.... I found it Saturday and have been going through it ever since! -Box itself is big enough to put me in almost comfortably too!

I will be posting a bunch of pics to whats all there, and let me tell ya, A LOT.... I bet 20 models or better is present in the box!

[Deleted]

OK well so that everyone knows now.....I got a HUGE box left on my front porch with just my first name on it, and packed fulla models, I found it on Saturday, and so been at going through it one model box at a time.... There are some I'm keeping for my "Stash" and then there are others thats going up for trading purposes..... What your about to see, is what I'm KEEPING in my "Stash" of goodies!!!!!


A NEEDED "Snow Plow"..... assembled, but WILL come apart, and will be going on my '76 International Scout II (being built like one a very close family friend had, maybe still does) but, he did A LOT of plowing with the thing and I'm gonna model it! -So a Plow I needed for on it!

BOTH fully complete kits! NOTHING built, or painted!

My 1st "Show Rod" come with a what looks to be a Chevy Corvair engine, and I plan to CHANGE that bad boy, and trade off its parts and swap in a HEMI! -Brand new too!


Cop Out, I THINK this is the original release by the 1973 date on the box, and NO "Round 2" markings!

My 3rd '68 Dodge Charger R/T!!!!! (Looks like "Blade's" car from the movie, might become a reality for me!!!!

Yepper LOVE IT...... '69 Dodge Cornet Super Bee, my second one! Needs some TLC but thats OK, its in pretty good shape!!!! Now that I have 2 of these, one may become a Dodge Coronet R/T, and one the car its said to be, but I can tell ya, one of them WILL be HEMI POWER'D!

Like I needed another one right? WERONG! I'll take all of 'em I can get!!!!! -LOVE the '70 Coronet! AND its brand new never out of the box, or opened!

[Deleted]

Same box, more!!!!





NOW I have 2 of the '71 GTX, ON will become a '71 Roadrunner, OR a '71 Satellite! (I have a grill to make THAT happen!) Needs a little TLC but I'm good with that!





I THINK this was to be a '69 Daytona..... BUT, I think I may go and make it a '69 Charger 500 instead! (I have a grille for that too!)



Coupla '74 Duster bodies, BOTH needing A LOT of work, I may restore one of them, NOT sure yet, BUT I know I do not plan to toss 'em in the trade pile so..... As I think with the 2 bodies, I can get one good one, with a hood & grille! And, there is a interior tub to one and a frame.... I can come up with everything else for one of them....



A '71 Duster 340 thats had one door "cut-open" and the door is with the kit and in pretty decent shape! I may have some left over parts from my other '71 Dusters to make this one come to life!



A box of loose "Over-The-Road Camper" interior parts..... These will be used in my Deora based camper trailer, pulled by a Deora! (thats to come!)



More Deora parts to back that built up too! AND, its been done in Camouflage!!!!! (Now theres an idea!)



Almost complete '94 Viper.....



Looks like ole John needs to get his hands on either a SECOND L-700, OR cough up that '89 Western Star to carry some OLD Mopars on this trailer!!!!! Building that all is gonna be some REAL fun!

[Deleted]

And then some of the "loose" stuff I at the time still had to sort through, there were SEVERAL boxes like this, plum full parts!



Just some of the boxes that WERE "full" of just loose parts! I can't explain just how full some of these were, and I've finally gotten through a lot of it.... there was a full box alone of tires! and one full of rims! SO, the kits I plan to trade, I'm trying to see if there are matching tires for those kits in the box of them I have that came in that HUGE box left on my porch!

A gold plated steering wheel!? You can BET thats going in my '70 Coronet R/T Convertible!

Pre-Wired Distributors!!!!? WOW!

Big ole 6 cylinder Diesel! I THINK thats a Cummins, BUT it could be the CAT that comes with the Revell Peterbilt 359 thats to be a CAT 3406.... NOT sure, I have the kit and the engine brand new, I'll have to look to be sure!

And, something Military.... I MIGHT have to "work" that into my "poop'd Off Patton" Show Rod Tank! -Not sure yet, but its not badly done!

[coupestang]

WOW!! Somebody left you a serious surprise.
