Nice score on the Humbug , those exhuast pipes have to be the hardest bits to find on these kits. Chuck probably has all the parts you need cast in resin ,if you need them to restore it ! most likely!

Traveled to Irvine, California for business. Before heading out there I found a gentleman on Craigslist selling of most of his collection. As soon as I landed I head on over and picked up these few kits. A few more that I managed to pry from his fingers for a great deal. Will take pics of those as soon as I get them. Shipped them back home so ill show those off pretty soon too. Of course many of these are going on eBay in the next few weeks but many of the rare items ill add to my stash. Enjoy!

The piece that brought me here, oh so many years ago, in my hands again after nearly 50 years. A Va-Va-Vette! It's not complete, but that's okay, everything that's missing is the silly cartoon animorphic parts, except the teeth. It had the teeth. Otherwise, everything cartoon Vette is there. I do have a history question for you buffs. I built two of these when they were new. Both were molded in red with chrome. This seems to be a mix of redd and grey plastic. At least what I can see anyway. The body and chassis pan and lower front end are red, but the sides and rear body are gray. Was there ever a gray, or gray and red plastic mix on this kit?

Gave it another good close look. I guess it was spray primed gray before it was brush painted back to red... Who knows what was done with it oh so long ago...

WooHoo!! I happened upon an eBay Buy It Now at the right time a week or two ago, and got a BIG RED BARON for waaaay less than you can usually hope to find them. The catch is that it's a disassembled and stripped build up. Disassembly was done cleanly, and there was even some clean up already started. Looks like only the engine block and interior had paint on them. The auction mentioned the one broken-off headlight and missing helmet spike. The headlights will probably have to be remounted, as there is no way to reattach the bucket to the stand without it being terminally fragile, but it turns out the helmet spike IS included. Everything is accounted for! I figure the fact that all the chrome is stripped presents an opportunity to do something a little different for colors and finishes. Not sure what, yet, but definitely something different than the standard red and chrome. Did this come from someone here by any chance? Brian

Picked up a sealed Super Fuzz for 15.00, and an open Funster Malibu Funny Car for 10.00 today at the Model Contest today here in the Dallas area. Seemed like a good deal to me.
