I can`t go to Walmart w/o checking the rack.Mine`s always been lame.Now it`s worse.The Hot Wheels rack has really shrunken and 1/2 the time that`s 1/2 empty.

Andy4639 · 01-18-2009, 01:50 PM

I think Wal-mart has done this to all there stores. Our's are very few pegs and most are just the everyday stuff nothing to look at for me. I think they got tired of having to straighten them up every hour when people would throw them every where.

ratpackv8sonly · 01-18-2009, 09:23 PM

For The model builders in our group here is a part that im sure you all have wanted cause I know I have. I was tired of building the 67-72 chevy GMC model kit with bucket seats all the time so I fixed that problem and now have the interior corrected in resin. New floor and back wall. Bucket seats are fixed (bench seat may be done by this week). Here are some pictures. Sorry for the bad quality. Time for a new camera

72 CustomCamper · 01-18-2009, 11:59 PM

Have you done a 72 interior also? The 1 pic looks like a 67-71 door panel...

Chuck

**special-K** · 01-19-2009, 08:17 AM

That`s great.It did bug me to have 67/68 seats in a 69/72.

ratpackv8sonly · 01-19-2009, 07:34 PM

May have the other interior and seats done in a few weeks. This one was the CST style interior (door pannels)

**special-K** · 01-31-2009, 10:49 PM

Something wintery.Just not Chevyee.

ratpackv8sonly · 02-01-2009, 03:33 PM

Looks like your having fun outside.

**special-K** · 02-02-2009, 10:02 AM

Can you see me layin`in the snow,"Bbbrummmm Bbbrummmm Brumm".

I was taking some Hot Wheels out to take pictures and saw this Tonka collecting dust and figured it would look good in the snow.How do you like my lift kit and big tires?They never made a truck with those wheels..

72BlckButy · 02-02-2009, 03:37 PM

Does anyone know what colors were available for the 1969 Highway 61 diecast trucks? From what I've been able to find on the net they offered:

Red
Yellow
Red/White

Anyone know if they offered it in white/green (sea green or turquoisey color)?

spudly · 02-02-2009, 04:53 PM

I've got a Blue and White one. I don't recall seeing a green or turquoise one.

There is an olive green one, a black one, and a 67 version that is kinda burgundy.

**special-K** · 02-05-2009, 09:49 AM

Got some wheels'n'tires recently:

Darn,I`ll have to get clearer shots.

Andy4639 · 02-05-2009, 12:14 PM

special-K,
You don't have nothing better to do than play with toys in the snow!
Those are a little blurry.

By the way anybody interested in one of these?
Just the body. No wheels. I have a brand new one that's still in the plastic with all the decals.
I'll take $30.00 shipped. This is the same amount it cost me. LMK

Whenever I see this pic I can't help thinking it's wonder womans truck.

Andy4639 · 02-05-2009, 01:58 PM

I forgot the picture.

**special-K** · 02-07-2009, 06:26 AM

They`re hard to resist,as long as they stay cheap.That Treasure Hunt one is supposed to br rare,but they must have made alot of them.As soon as these come out they are all over Ebay,somehow.
It`s time for something new in diecast!!!

Those Ertl Chevy Titans were from factory.That one was a private label,produced by someone who got the "heartbeat" licensing.You`ll see the`50 panels as well as other imptints on other Ertls,like the little`50 COE semi.The cat carrier makes a great 1/24th display item.

Andy4639 · 02-07-2009, 08:46 AM

I may just have to buy one of them. Man I shouldn't have ever looked at E-bay last weekend. I haven't stopped since. The wife is going to have a fit!!!

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-08-2009, 11:50 AM

That car carrier is cool, but it sure looks like it would take up some space which is something I ran out of already.

Andy4639 · 02-16-2009, 10:38 PM

I have one Yellow & White and Black one, but would like at least one more of each.
I have a couple of these to trade if anybody has them.

Andy4639 · 02-08-2009, 01:53 PM

Yea I will have to make some more shelf's out in the garage if I buy anymore.

big_al_71 · 02-13-2009, 11:01 AM

Last week I was really excited to have found five truck in the 1/64th scale that this week my friend "Harry" who is responsible for doing 99% of the built in my truck surprised me this morning with another 1/64th scale that I did not have or seen in person. I thought I would share with you all.

Andy4639 · 02-15-2009, 12:03 AM

I just picked these up off e-bay.

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-15-2009, 12:49 AM

Nice score, I see lots of potential ..what are the plans?
