Here is my latest Hot Rod LP: As I sifted through the Christmas, sound track, inspirational, C&W albums I found it almost all the way in the back of the box. I calmly asked how much. She replied "a nickel". WOO-HOO!! It plays w/o skipping. The only defect is the bottom of the cover is half way wore through. Marty Marysville, OH

Very cool! It's things like this from the golden age of drag racing that I would love to see come back. I got a couple of albums from years ago like that. Nice score! Mark

Don't know if I'd call it a "score" or not, but I just got a complete (decals are trashed), unbuilt "King Chopper" off the 'Bay for a hundred bucks, delivered. It shall get built!

Here's what I got today... Sorry for the bad pic (phone) but yes, that is a Horn Toad... Right place, right time, $20 and they all came home with me, including the display cases and funky fur for the cars to sit on. Considering the green Horn Toad, these all were most likley built in the early 70's. Most of the parts appear to be there with only an exhaust pipe for the Ice T missing. I'm happy!

I don't know if I would call it a score but I got a resin boss fink for $63.00 that includes the shipping. I also got a resin reproduction li'l gypsy wagon and from looks of the kit I personally would rather have this expertly weathered kit than any original due to the way AL built it. The price of the kit plus build and shipping was $150.00

This a surprise win on evil bay. The seller had it as BIN or best offer. It was up less then a day and I offered him 1/2 of his BIN. He accepted it! ;D No color pics inside, but what a great look into the past! Look at the original newstand price, $0.50!! Marty Marysville, OH This is my favorite magazine, Great photos!!!

Got this for 60.00 sealed with damaged box a few days ago. I had to build this and what a fun build it was... it works perfectly. This one should be re-issued.

So my buddy calls me the other day and tells me that he is cleaning out his house and wanted to know if I wanted his model kits. He said if I didnt want them he was gonna pitch them so I figured it was 3 or 4 kits...Wow was I wrong..... multiple unbuilt kits including a super nice resin 41 Merc with the donor model, alot of built up "older" kits that are easily repairable, a ton of hot rod bodys, chasis and interiors, more wheels and tires that I will ever use along with an entire box of engines, a bunch of unopened paint, styrene, aluminum tubing, chrome foil and 2 unopened bottles of zap a gap.

[glow=red,2,300]I am a Happy Guy!!![/glow]
Just recieved a 1971 Deal's Wheels Tirebird and a Monogram '55 Ford F100 Truck for, $20 from EBAY, including shipping!
The Tirebird was assembled years ago so the glue has dried and it is easy to take apart. All the parts are all there and they are in great condition too. The interior & driver are the only painted parts. It includes windows that are tinted green!
The '55 Ford F100 is a mint kit, just missing the wheels & tires. Perfect for a Deals Wheels conversion!
