A 1967 camaro painted like the 1969 I drove in high school, Bullitt chasing the Dodge Charger and Marty McFly
WOW JD, what an amazing job! Makes me want to go find some that are in need of repair! LOL Maybe after some of my other projects. Once again what an amazing job!
@JDFonz posted:Thanks Ted, was waiting for you to see it. When are we gonna see some of your finished cars?
as far as the windows go, I polish them with polishing compound by hand, that also took the paint off that was on them. After they are clean, you dip the windshield in clear pledge floor wax and let it dry overnight. Voila! Clear windshield! Works like magic.
😀👍 Joel, I've been waiting for the weather to cooperate, so I can spray paint. I'm tired of waiting. time to put the large fan in the basement window on full blast facing out... ANd get these babies sprayed up....
Stay tuned...

Mike, you should try it... It's fun, I think you would enjoy it.... Plenty of wrecks on the Bay, at a cost that won't break the bank...💲😊
Wow, I've missed some great posts over the past few days.!
JDFonz...incredible restoration on the ambulance! Whit, great selection of cars...I noticed green Stang...just added a similar one to the layout! Is it a Yatming?
The burgundy Buick Riv may be similar to one on my layout...maybe a FM??

Paul, I really like the Mustangs, but man how can you go wrong with a 67 split window Vett with a hot blonde! 
Mike, just type in corgi, or dinky and you’ll have pages to look through. Get ready for some sticker shock though. But if you are patient you can find some bargains.
Looking forward to seeing some restos from you. I think I have Ted hooked!👍👍
JD, you were right plenty of pages to look at and some good prices but the shipping can really get you! LOL I found one for $1.59 then $27.99 shipping from France! I think I will pass! LOL

The Bullitt mustang and the dodge charge were manufactured by green light, purchased from Menards
the Buick Riv is part of the Franklin Mint cars of the 60’s. Which also included the split window vet on your display. Interesting they are both the same color.
I know some my already know but the reason I haven’t been very active here is because I’m recovering from Covid and Pneumonia in both lungs. Please bare with me because I’m have some post Covid symptoms like short of breath. There thinking my lung tissues have been damage but who knows in time will tell.
Your stuff looks great keep posting we made it to 50 pages I’m happy about that I didn’t think this tread would make it pass 10 when I start it. There’s just something about restoring old toys and change them up a little I understand stand the thrill you guys are experiencing. Thanks for your support here to keep this thread going.

I like the Back to the future pic. I love that movie. Thanks for posting
Lee, holy cow, glad you are feeling better. Probably pretty scary.
Mike, yes, that shipping will kill you, I’ve only bought a couple pieces from across the pond.
Thanks JD
Lee, didn't hear until now that you were dealing with COVID, but I wondered why you weren't posting. Glad to hear you're on the mend! Of your many contributions to the forum, this thread remains a favorite and I'll keep participating whenever I can. Received a couple of new cars in the mail today...will post them later...

Mike'... don't get discouraged. Forget Corgi, not many bargains on those. But Dinki has plenty, you must have patience and go through all the pages. The quickest way is to start at the very last page, and then work backwards'....... You'll find the right one for you. Don't bother with France or Great Britain... Too expensive.... The new ones from China are spin offs of the real thing. Not bad for fillers on the layout, but no good for restores....
Good luck hunting'..
