And along the way, snagged a lot of parts and pieces in junk boxes, etc.
The big find was the estate of a hobby manufacturer's rep that was two blocks from my house (!) bought the big junk box last day for half off, and an unreal amount of parts were in there, including a Bantam parts pack body (alas, not complete) and a well-started Sanitary T, plus plenty of other Parts Pack items, plus oodles of annual kit cast offs and unused bits.
Took a week to sift it all, but some goodies like a complete Hemi tree and the correct 'drag' SBC were in there intact. Now with the Atalantis re-releases, it's basically a matter of checking the pack list. In need of two of the classic Revell box bottoms, they were an odd size and have been a bit hard to track down.
