I don't think there's a stock option,but there are lots of parts in there to build em more than one way ;D

[popeye]

Awe! pity, i've nearly bought some of these rods thinking they could be made stock (to go with the old gangbusters relics) but since i couldn't see what options they had from the pics on the adverts i didn't buy,

[olskoolrodder]

I scored these off eVilbay,got em in this week All THREE for under $25 shipped too! ;D NIB,opened,boxes damaged,appears to all be in there though.




Won a couple more auctions too,a couple kits should be in by tomorrow-Monday,I'll post pics when they get in.

[BUCKY]

A nice start to another big stash! I like the Charger!!!!

[olskoolrodder]

Won't be as big as the one lost...but being realistic,I never coulda built all of em at my slow pace anyways,LOL!

I had 2 of them Chargers in the old house,both melted,one I bought when first released as a pre-teen in the mid 80's

[popeye]

Nice catch,

[olskoolrodder]

Thanks Brother! Here's the other two I spoked of,a pair of NIB MPC '81 Mustangs


Got one more order from an old eBay friend should be coming late next week,then the spree's over...but between that one,one of these,and a few in the stash (including the current '94 GT ragtop project) I can replicate several 1:1's I've owned over the years ;D

You are gonna love that Shelby Charger kit Mr. Sammons, my only advice being as the kits are coming up on 30 years old, is patience plenty with the decals, and plenty of Testors decal solvent and Testors decal setting solution. Thats the only way mine would lay down.

[popeye]

You like your "later model" pony's dont cha i have a mustang part started (by someone else) i'll never do if ya want it let me have your address and i'll post, (when i have some cash and assumeing it's not gonna be an arm and a leg to the US,
i'll sort some pice out if your interested

[olskoolrodder]

Darrin-Thanks for the tip on the decals! Not sure if they'll be used or not,but most likely they will be...maybe a more modern tuner (NOT ricer) version?

Popeye-When it come to Pony cars (ESPecially Mustangs ) I likes all years of em...the wall that burned had almost every year (or at least generation) of Camaro,Firebird/Trans Am,Mustang,and Mopar ponies that was kitted since 1980 or so,including several of the same kits with some of em ;D Unforetunately...that was the first wall that burned completely,and all but 2 of them (on the very bottom of the stack sitting on the floor-a pair of Firebirds...Revell '92 Formula and '98 WS6 RamAir Trans Am kits-the boxes were toast though) melted into goo,LOL! If you were talking about the pair of Mustangs though...IDK if a 30 year old car (or kit) is considered "late model" anymore or not,LOL!

Thanks,and yeah,shoot me a PM

[popeye]

There "late" for me ;D i like my fins and chrome! i'll make some inquiry's as to postage to the US, meanwhile i'll sort out some pics as i have no idea what year mustang it is, it came in a chevy pick up (late model) box inside the large caddy town car box, the guy aint done much to it, as i recall he just painted the interior and picked out the brake lines in copper, dont even know if it's complete,
it's a 92! according to the instructions

[olskoolrodder]

Heck yeah check on postage for it (I could reimburse,or send you the postage next week-wait till then I mean-if it's within reason ;D),I needs a '90-93 for the series I'm stockpiling to build,and that was gunna be the next gen I was gunna start eBay searching for,LOL! Sweet ;D

[popeye]

ok! i'll dig it out, wrap it and see how much they want for postage, not bothered about you paying the post but i may need to wait till i get paid at the end of the month, just glad it's a year your after, i'll pm you a bit later for your postal address, cheer's, ian
second thoughts! if you pm me you postal address i can get a definate price, it shouldn't be too much as when i've bought from the states in the past it's ranged from around $7-$15 but these were ebay sellers and as we all know some sellers load the shipping cost a bit

this is my email address if you want to send your postal address

[darcy]

I picked 6 of these up from hobby linc and the nascar truck from a flea market.

Hotrodmodeler sold me these 4 He's a great guy to deal with.

The next 4 I picked up at a swap meet last sunday unopened for $40

And these 2 from a fleamarket for $2 for both which have been barely started Just a few parts painted.Sept was a busy month for purchases

I should be busy for a while !LOL

[monaro]

Wow some nice buys there especially the 1/16 stuff

[olskoolrodder]

Darcy,some UBER awesome scores there,my friend!!! Can't WAIT to see you get on some of em ;D ;D ;D

Popeye-I'll get you an email sent today,and mucho-thanks again! ;D

[popeye]

Mails recieved mate, cheer's, well those certainly are some scores you made there, a whole collection in one go, love the engine kits and the 1/16th stuff is awesome, but which one are you going to do first??? bet ya get sleepless nights figureing that out ;D

[kustombuilder1]

I'd like to have that GSX750 bike model! Also, I have 2 of a release of the '92 Mustang kit that popeye has, but they the lowrider version, only I'm not wanting the lowrider version. The factory GT wheels are included, but they are awful in both kits.. Miss-molded, short shot, LOUSY chrome, and completely unuseable. I have some alloy solid disc centerlines out of the '87 T-Bird kit that might look good on it..... Wish for the originals though..
