I got a new shop card from ‎@T-DawgsModelCars and a cool resin gas pump. We also take a look at another antique store model kit find, and the 57 Ford custom project progresses.

Hi Eric. In 1977 or 78 , or 79...i bought the mpc 69 firebird kit. Nice boxart. I have the complete kit now. In 2018 i bought a real 68 firebird. A dream comes true. Many thanks for video. Lry

Morning Eric , Great video and nice gifts. Sending Sincere Prayers for TDawg and Family, That gas pump is neat I need to grab me one for my diorama. As a Modeler I have learned so kit kit brands are way better than another but It doesn't matter to me anymore because I know I can make the best out of it so I like all brands 😅 That's a nice 69 kit , I love the way a vintage kit smell 😅 Have fun with it. That 57 ford is going to be sweet 🔥🔥

Thanks! The gas pump is very cool👍 They have a whole line of diorama products.

Prayers sent for Tony 🙏 Cool gas pump, Happy Birthday Eric 🎉 The extreme lacquer is a nice paint, they make a, wet look clear, I've used it, Mr hobby clear, Tamiya clear and 2K over it, no issues, 😎👍

Thanks, Tom! This is my first adventure in spraying lacquer, if that's how I go. Thanks for the tips on the clear👍

@Reds_Scrapyard Ай бұрын

Happy b-day, Eric The gas pump is really cool. What a thoughtful gift from the wife. Thanks for the look at the old Firebird. You are correct about it being a 250 and not a 225. If it has a 4-barrel on it, it's the W53 "Sprint" engine which made a very respectable 230 HP straight out of the showroom. It would be a cool engine to build with with some kind of wild induction for a "Dare to be different" roadster build.

@ericsmodelgarage Ай бұрын

Thanks, Red! That engine would be really cool for an extra curricular project. That would look good in the old MPC 32 Chevy roadster😃 Thanks for the info on the ohc 6👍

That White Lightening is in super great condition especially the decals. MPC are challenging but they make the most interesting subject matter kits. Have fun with this one. Your custom car body looks very kool.😊

@ericsmodelgarage Ай бұрын

Thanks, David! Actually, MPC has been one of my favorite brands for that reason, the subject matter, somewhat like Jo Han.

@russellpoland6637 Ай бұрын

A nice haul for Fathers Day. I like model kits, "period," MPC did some kits that "NO ONE," repeat, "NO ONE," else has. I have found nothing wrong with any of their kits, other than being "over simplified." Still, a kit is a kit. I for one am glad to have built them. I like kits! I am a builder! (not a collector!) any how, Your custom is looking real wild! I like what Your doing with it! Kinda reminds me of Snoopy, his early days, HA! Thank You for sharing! Take Care, Be Safe, God Bless, Later

I agree with you fully on the kits, Russell. I've had some new ideas pop up for the Ford project, so we'll see where it goes. Thanks for watching!

Awesome firebird kit. I hope you build it!. That 57’ would look awesome I think in old school black, shiny shiny black with a 1960’s flame job on the front like we would see in Hot Rod magazine back in the 60’s and 70’s… back when it didn’t hurt to move!!! Great video!

@davidparker2259 Ай бұрын

I’m liking the Firebird. The kit isn’t great, but it’s cool that that car was only 9 years old when that kit was released. Funny calling that gas pump old. When I think of old gas pumps, I envision the tall ones with the glass discombobulators on the tops of them.

@ericsmodelgarage Ай бұрын

I can agree on the old gas pump description. I guess in an age where almost everything is plastic, anything metal seems "old" 😂 Thanks, David!
