White model is about 75% complete,needs some more engine bay work and grille done.

Its set up with wide steelies and magnezium skinnys up front.It has all the spark plug wires and even wires for the tach on the dash!Its looking pretty good I have been working on it for about a year now here and there.

Two small cars are the Hot Wheels T-Bolts,the black one is all stock,but the white one was originally a black car that I disassembled and painted Whimbleton white.

Took a little work,but I like the result.

I have another stock black one thats going Royal Maroon in a couple days.

The two models in back are no longer in production,they make them with a different box and no race decals.

1995 F-350 XLT SuperCab DRW 460 EFI ~~~~~~~~~1991 Mustang GT 5-Liter 5-speed

I think there is a formal roof 68 model?

Im almost certain now that I think of it?

I think it was made by Monogram and it was a 68 Formal roof Cobra,could have been a 69,but Im not sure?

I have 100s of older Ford and Mercury models at my house,but I dont have any of the one your looking for.

 

[DynoTom]

I put a tan interior in the white car,so I guess a black stripe would be more correct for it?

I did find a guy who makes "resin" 65 Falcon models and even advertises them as A/FX cars in his ads!

I have talked to him a couple times at the models shows around here about them,but havent gotten one from him yet.

I dont know alot about "resin" kits as far as what it takes to finish one up?

My friend said sometimes you just get the body and everything else you have to borrow from other models in the same scale.

Kinda sounds like it could be hard to figure out?

 

[DynoTom]

1963 Galaxie or Fairlane?

I have a 1963 1/2 Galaxie kit.

 

[DynoTom]

Pigiron,I have never taken the wheels off a Hot Wheel before,so Im not sure about how to do it best?

I looked at one here and it doesnt look like it would be easy to put them back on once there off?

 

[DynoTom]

Johnny Lightning 1970 cyclone Spolier and Cyclone GT.

 

[DynoTom]

Fairlanes,Cyclones and Cougars!

This is the display I have at my house,every month I bring different stuff into it.

I have 100s of models,about 75 1/18 scale die cast and well over 1000 Hot Wheels,Johnny Lightnings,Matchbox,Thunderjet size cars.

 

[DynoTom]

Ron Meyer, I think they only make the 66 Fairlane models,never seen a 67 but they could be out there somewhere?

I do have a 1986 SVO Mustang model at my house?

 

[DynoTom]

Ron Meyer, The SVO model?

It has t-tops on it,does your real car?

Not a bad looking model,its made by MPC and has good detail.

I guess low cost of the model and the hassle of shipping stuff kinda make me not want to ship models.

But your close to me in location,let me think about it a little?

I think this SVO Mustang kit has been out of production for a while now,but they might have brought it back in a different box.

 

[DynoTom]

Well Ron you live close enough that I would send you one of the SVO cars.

I will set one aside for you,I have to get a bunch of stuff ready to ship here in a few weeks so I want to ship it all at the same time.

 

[DynoTom]

Ron Meyer I can do that in a few weeks for you.

Have you found a 68 Fairlane formal roof yet?

There is a huge model and toy show Jan. 19th. I go to around here,I will look for the formal roof 68-69 Cobra model there for you.

If its cheap like 10-15 bucks maybe Ill pick a couple up,I wouldnt mind having one and maybe you would buy the other one.

 

[DynoTom]

63 Fairlane? I dont think I have even seen one of those models.

But at this show Im going to in a few weeks there is always a ton of old and hard to find models for sale.

I will look to see if anything is out there.

 

[DynoTom]

Yes that T-Bolt die cast is cool!

I have only found two so far,I been checking every store around here for days with no luck?

I found a die cast dealer on the net who sells them for $8.10,its more than the $5.99 that Walgreens had them for but Im getting sick of looking for them!

 

[DynoTom]

The 63 1/2 Galaxie kit is part of a three car kit that is from the Ertil AMT "Classics" line.

I never saw the Galaxie for sale by itself,and the box says "only available in this offer"?

I gave one of the 63 1/2 Galaxie kits to Greg Cook when I met him at the 2001 Woodward cruise.

I figure its gotta be kinda cool to have a model of your real car.

63 Fairlane.....I dont ever recall ever have seen a model of one,but if I do see one at this model show coming up Ill check it out.
