First up is my winnings from TylerLinner’s car ID contest. I am always a little nervous when I don’t know what is being sent, but this was a really nice selection. A few will end up in the trade pile, but most are stuff I was looking for either directly or as wheel/parts donors.
Next up is a HWEP with R32rennsport. One of the Chevelles is going to donate its metal chassis to upgrade a mainline version with a unfortunate gold chassis, The other is going to get some new wheels and go in the collection. The Deco Delivery is going to get a repaint and new wheels. The Astro vans are so I can try making one a plain stock van, for the lols. And the buggies are because buggies are fun.
Then we have a bunch of bodies from vdubyajohn that he gave me for the shipping cost. Turns out the JADA bodies in the back two rows are a bit oversized, but I will probably find a use for them eventually either in whole or in parts.
This pile was found at a local antiques mall for $9 for the 12. The Hot Wheels & the Porsche will probably be custom fodder, the rest will be wheel donors. So if you see something you absolutely need before I strip it, let me know and maybe we can do a trade.
$4 Flea market hawl (2nd to last of the season). The fire truck is a wheel donor, and the pickup is losing its motorcycle, but everything else is heading for the the HWEP pile as I bought them mostly to save them from a damp bin of junk casts.
And lastly, a second Speedway truck, and an Ebay DCP truck body. While cheaper than a full price DCP truck, this is going to cost more than my previous ebay find once it is all said and done, but it will be fun to stretch the chassis and build my own tow truck. The trailer will donate one of its wheel sets, but the rest of it is up for trade (along with the rear fuel tanks, tractor mud flaps, rear 1/4 fenders, & fifth-wheel) if someone has a use for them.
