[@THROTTLEPOWER]

This has always been a fun show, had a really good time hangin' out with friends for the day! If you want to see everything in the Swap Meet click on the video linked at the end.

[@stevenrodriguez4352]

Takes me back to the days of building model cars and trucks I have built model cars and trucks for the better part of 44yrs it was fun while it lasted but as with all things it came to an end I retired from model building in ,2018

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@stevenrodriguez4352 44 yrs, very cool Steven! Why did you retire from building?

[@stevenrodriguez4352]

I was losing car parts and had to build the parts by hand which means that the model cars were modified I still have a few model cars like the,1971plymouth barracuda 1967 Dodge Coronet and the 1964impala SS with a fuel injected 307 V8 that was the engine that GM never built for the 1964 Impala SS I affectionately considered the car my batmobile because basically the engine design was a break through my retirement was due to the hobby shop near my location was closed

[@stevenrodriguez4352]

To me it was the end of an era I'm still keeping up with the interest in cars in general but basically it was time for me to step aside and let the next generation of model car builders do their thing so i retired after so many years building and modifying my model cars like the model cars in the video ok thank you

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@stevenrodriguez4352 Ok, I understand, I bet you built some really nice models!

[@danieljohnson9351]

Great video Tim! Thanks for sharing. Did you have anything in the contest? Saw the Svengoolie model (although I think he would drive a hearse despite what it says).

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I did Daniel.... 2 Chevy C-10's, a Diorama and a figure creature called Pumpkinhead. I agree with you on the hearse.

[@doug81337]

Thanks for sharing these! I have a question....do you know anyone making a resin '88-'98GMC Sierra that fits the AMT Dually? Im working on a NHRA Safety Safari Dually and would love to find the grille.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So glad you like the vids Doug! Not sure about the grill, Iceman Collections offers several different GM grills, might want to look there and see what he has. Let me know what you find out and I'll keep my eyes open if I see something that might work for you.

[@milesunderwood2380]

Did you know there is a Dodge 300 called Color Me Gone it was a race car from the 60's when they ran the first printing of the box the model came in it was a misprint they marked it as a super sport ran about 300-500 before they caught it and changed to super stock so if you see one that says super sport unopened save it, it's a collector. I had 5 of them at one point and the article about it but lost them in a divorce.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Hmmmmmm, very interesting, I did not know that.

[@milesunderwood2380]

@@THROTTLEPOWER yeah I had learned about it back in the late 90's and happened to buy one then found the article in a magazine and started looking found 3at the same Walmart for less than $20.00
