WHOA MAMA ! is that a 1/9 scale Norton by Italeri? OK hold everybody there until i get there!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@modelspeedshop]

Model kit Heaven! Wow! 👀 nice snags Tim! Thanks for the great footage.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It sure is!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Lots of cool models 👍😃

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Brian!

[@Merylstreep1949]

I'm lucky enough to have some of those kits including a few almost mint in box Mpc drag and muscle car kits from the early n lare 60s n 70s too

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh heck yes that's cool!!!!!!!

[@oldskolacura9798]

The gap n rouse pinto and Dyno dons mustang are the ones you def want to keep if you have those unsealed. In fact just about any pro stock in general is worth plenty.

[@OffRampAdventures]

You found the kits I thought had gone out of production long ago! Awesome! They're still out there!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh yea!!!!!!!

[@oldskolacura9798]

They on ebay big time but be careful since they are on there for a reason and usually it's because skilled modeler's won't want them. Plus if the model is rare to find and in decent shape expect to pay up to 300 for certain ones.

[@frankcerne7613]

Lots of different kits to choose from, I had my eye on a few of them myself..Thanks for sharing Tim..

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Frank!

[@LarrysModelShop]

That was having me drooling, all those kits!! Amazing variety of stuff there. Thanks for sharing!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

There really was Larry!

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]

Will have to try too make it down to that show one year.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I think you would enjoy it, it's always been a good one.

[@CarswithJDUB]

Cool!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@davidjohnmiller4849]

I’m excited to come down to Atlanta at the end of October , gonna take a couple days vacation , it only about an 8 hour drive from my place in Canada

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I think you will have a great time David!

[@BluSkye17]

I really like the sleeper car look with the big and little steelies and dog dish hub caps.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Right on!

[@jenniferlove688]

OMG I had the Groovy Grader when I was a kid, memories !

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, love that kit!

[@fredbasic1918]

Keystones out beautify all other old and new wheels, period! Stash add vids are never wrong to do.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, love the Keystones Fred!!!!

[@fredbasic1918]

Cragars are #2.

[@pappytinkers]

OMG I'm glad I wasn't there, I would be broke for the next year! I was at a different show in FL that day, the Blue Angels Model fest. Mostly air plane kits but I found some great deals on some cars and other kits. I just posted my haul on my channel last night. Hopefully the contest and the swap meet soon, but editing is kicking my butt.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Really glad the shows are coming back! 👍😉 True, editing will get ya.

[@JethrosGarage-op4bo]

Awesome show Tim, so many classic kits, very cool!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Indeed!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So very true George 🙂

[@dfactoryrat653]

I love the vendor area videos. I really like the AOSHIMA Road Warrior Mad Max. It's a curbside kit. If you see it again sealed I will pay $90.00 plus shipping. Thanks Tim 🐭👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I have never seen that kit before, it sure was interesting!

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Craig,for 90 bucks,is it that rare,I'll keep an eye open for any here👍😎Pete 🤓

[@CycolacFan]

@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 not so much rare as very in demand. It’s been issued several times but they usually sell quickly.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

@@CycolacFan cheers for the info. Ill keep an eye out for any👍🔍

[@CycolacFan]

@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 don’t ever be tempted to buy the older resin version - it’s junk.

[@JHartModelworks]

Great stuff Tim!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Justin!

[@garysteinert8040]

I would really like to find out about these events, BEFORE they happen.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Bingo!😁. The first thing I saw was a coke cameo😧🤣. Amazing selection again Tim 👍🍕🍻👍. I've just watched it all and loved it. Ill watch the model show next.👍😎Pete 🤓..those trumpeter kits go from 65 -90 £here,and the Pontiac Bonneville isn't available 😢 great decal selection 👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

BINGO!!! 👍🙂 I love having fun and messing with people!!! 😉 So true about the Trumpeter kits, and it was pretty rare to see so many at one show.😊

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree about the decals, STS Decals is really coming along in our hobby.

[@joelove3613]

Wish we had something like this where I live in Mo.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Hopefully someday, seems the shows are coming back!

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

Another good one Tim

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thanks Randy!

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

I'd love to have been there Tim ❤

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I'll get you to a show here yet!

[@randalltolman2368]

Wish we had them in the new England area

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I've often heard that.

[@stephentaege6255]

Great video 👍 if U couldn't find a model kit to buy and take home I'll eat my hat 🤠⭐🦅🐴👍🐎

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So very true!

[@michaelleftwich8186]

I like models, maybe not like these guys. When i was a kid i had probably 20/30 midels of all kinds. Race cars, dragsters, trucks, rven some airplanes. The last midel i put together was about ,5 of 6 years ago. It was the #8 Budweiser Chevrolet of Dale Jr. But after seeing the selections of cars here, i've come to the conclusion that these guys are really proud of their models by the prices of some of those . Man, i couldn't afford to even go look at, let alone try to buy anything. Good video though👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Michael and the #8 Bud car is a cool kit to build! 🍻 There were some good deals there but like any Swap Meet you just have to seek those good deals out. So glad you enjoyed the video!! 🙂 Are you thinking about getting back into the hobby?

[@oldskolacura9798]

I was able to find that amt trojan horse mustang 2 on ebay but it must have sat in heat because the body was warped. I notice those on ebay and supposedly vintage are on there for a reason.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true!

[@modelcar1589]

cool kits

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!!!

[@shotdowninflames3466]

Ollies has new shipment of some kits. I saw one guy found Those 2 Rat Fink trucks there 19.99 ea. My Ollies didn't have those, but several other kits.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Cool, I'll have to check one out.

[@antoniosanchez5514]

Thank you very much Tim for your great job, is any chance in the future to get vendors phone or email for contact them for business? That should be great there are many models that is hard to find in other places, also will be great a calendar of shows in others states and cities. I'm from Charleston, s.c., and would like to know if there is anything coming to this area, or close... thanks Tim again for your great job and shared it with us....

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Glad you enjoyed, if they show that info I'll get it next time.

[@MasteringTheModel]

BINGO!!!! LOL 👍👍 Next time you need to yell SCORE!!!!!! Like Buffalo Sabres play by play guy, Rick Jeanneret, yells it. RIP R.J.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

All those models but no "Vandal" ??

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Don't see the Vandal often. I did see it at the last show I was at the other month.

[@CycolacFan]

Must be hard to decide how much cash to take along…

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

As little as possible so I don't spend much! 🙂

[@CycolacFan]

@@THROTTLEPOWER it looked like $150 would have gone a long way.
