    Is anyone into plastic or diecast car models ?

    I was just thinking that maybe there are some people here who build or collect plastic or diecast car models. By having a section for models, It might be a good source of finding parts, buying and selling kits, promos and maybe a "how to" section. Of course the focus would be on Fords Lincolns and Mercurys. I am looking for parts for two of my kits a 62 Mercury and a 63 Mercury. Both need hoods.

            Nice model setup hypostang. I like the 57 or so Plymouth. Is that a Diecast? I still have the car models that I made when I was a kid 40+ years ago. I must say I have improved in model building skills. The early models were pretty bad.

                  For some reason I have a soft spot for silver jade 69 Shelby Mustangs.

                        whats cool about the walls in my room is there is NO wallpaper all that is painted on, down to the denim look on the wall and the stripe that has painted mustang horses running on it.
