I have been collecting these HW 100% cases and modifying them a little by placing a checker floor in them. They make a great display for my 100% cars !

I was really glad to see this MB casting come out. I had a real old Dodge like this way back when. Was a trip to drive with bad, bad tie-rod ends, ball joints, steering idler arm, and sitting over the front wheels. Hit a bump and never knew which way you were going to go...
I found this set of wheels from that era and slapped them under this one...Made a cool race team !!!

For anybody collecting Yat Ming diecast, this seller I ran across on ebay is fantastic.

Newbomb Turk stopped by to check the progress on his brother's El Camino...I am really impressed with the quality of these older JL cars. Hood hold down riveted, widdows riveted, dashboard riveted and the chassis. 6 rivets holding this baby together !!!
This is the El Camino that will soon be the 6th car in my Hollywood Knights 6 car set !!!

We had an awesome snow day today... No school and no work. Had a blast with 2 of my grandsons in the snow with Cody's remote control Mustang police car. It was really cool how he made it drift and slide on the ice covered snow. Ran over a spider crossing the snow covered yard too !
Now I ask you, what are the chances of a spider walking over 10 inches of ice covered snow in 20 degree temps, in a huge front yard, and a radio control car run over him ? My grandson, Cody and I got quite a kick out of that one !

I'm a happy camper... My mailbox was full yesterday !
I have opened them all and took them for a short cruize across the kitchen floor. All run good and handle well. The Camaro pulls a little to the right, so I'll have to get an alignment !!!

Believe it or not, I now consider my entire collection complete, although I will keep buying. Finding these 63 Falcons and the 57 Ford Fairlane hardtop from M2 and Buddy L did it for me ! I found a seller from China selling these Yatming cars I have been looking for, for several years... The set of 63 Falcons delivered from China to my box for 15.40... Two cars delivered for 15.40 and single cars for 6.50... YES, YES, YES !!!
