Thanks everyone, I will be inventorying this tonight / tomorrow night. Plus need to pick up some satin white and metal effects clear. I "think" everything is in this kit. This was one of those kits I scored last spring in that big haul of bashed kits. Most of which now belong to Paul through some awesome trades!! BUT, I think this is all there, in fact, it looks as if there is way too much! Like, I have 2 complete trees of chrome, 3 sets of rims and tires, and a different t-bucket interior - and that's just from initially looking. So that is why I must do a complete inventory, but I will also get to start sanding, prepping and priming the body pieces.

Well gang, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news, I will be able to stay focused on, and complete the eBay Challenge build
The bad news, I was able to finally sit down to the Ala Kart, all ready to start cleaning, sanding and throwing some primer. I pulled out all the parts, and immediately I knew something was wrong. I could just feel it in me bones. So grabbing the instructions, I started to inventory this kit - and sure enough - it has been bashed. Like I posted in the beginning, this was one of those kits I scored last spring in that big haul of opened/sealed and some bashed kits. When I initially looked in this, it looked like it was complete.
And it is close - BUT..............
Part# 15 - the whole freaking frame is gone............... Part# 530 - the chrome windshield frame / instrument panel is gone.......... and probably the worst is - Part# 25 - the pickup box is not here........................
I guess on a bright side - I did find a set of what looks like to be, some skinny Model T type tires with whitewalls, also was a set of larger rear, and smaller front tires and rims. These are put together, rims painted a god awful yellow with little baby moon caps in the center. And a whole tree of older engine parts, rims, etc.
SOOOOOOOO - unfortunately - with some very key elements missing, I will have to bow out of this MOTM contest....................... I do apologize - someday I will see about getting the parts needed, but for now, it's back to the Del Ray

thats too bad buddy, you should try and locate the parts as that would be a super good build.

Its a chance we all take when buying open kits.(hopefully you got a bunch of other good stuff in this lot). It sucks that you don't have the parts on hand to replace them.

I appreciate it Mike and Frank - it does SUCK!!!
Alan, you are right though my friend, open kits have that risk. I probably do have parts on hand to finagle something, but I want it to look somewhat descent. I am no good at what you guys can do, with all the cutting and a buffing and a bashing and a fabricationing - FABRICATIONING, is that a word??? Ha!! Is Now!!! smiley-scared002
But seriously though, like I told GB, I will definitely be on the eBay hunt for the parts, another kit, whatever it takes. I figure, maybe I cannot make the "Deadline" for the Feb MOTM - but in no way is this build on the "Deadline"
Ha! See what I did there, that's what you a call a "Negative - Go-on an Git U Ass back Positive" turn around!! road-rage-smiley-emoticon
Those are about as rare as a black hole burping out 3 solar systems off the event horizon's edge - BEFORE - drifting into the none lighted center of a tootsie roll...............

Well if you really want to build this, I can send you the parts for it. I'm sure I have them. If not for that, this is based on the 1929 model A pickup. So shoot me a PM and I'll get them out to you Monday morning. It's still early in the month that I think you could get it done. This weekend you could work on the rest. Up to you bud.
