Do want the '65 Barracuda

I kinda want to get the 1969 Camaro kit. I know they're WAY out of proportion, but I remember it being a nifty kit that builds up well.

I'm a cheapskate. Use Paint Shop Pro 4 that I got while working for a computer company in the early 2000's. Does what I need it to.

Let's see... Headlight bulb changes on a 2009 Chevy Malibu. Have to remove the nose of the car to change because the headlight units are bolted to the front bulkhead with no passthrough. I'll admit I found an easier way later where you can unbolt/unsnap the top edge of the nose and slide your hand in and just unbolt the side of the headlight unit and get the bulb changed. Had a 1998 Cadillac DeVille Concours with the 4.3L Northstar. They used too small bolts to hold down the heads, so after a while they start to strip out and you get coolant leaks/blown head gaskets. The engine can be rebuilt (engine out) and the bolt can be drilled/tapped to use LS1 bolts. And my most recent folly, 2011 GMC Acadia. The engine loses oil through the PCV and you have to watch the oil levels like a hawk. If it loses more than a little bit of oil, the timing chains overheat and stretch a little. First it'll just lose a little power and show a code the timing is off. After a while it jumps time (like when the alternator has just failed and been replaced) and it's an engine out job to repair.

I lucked out and got a mostly complete Dr. Krook's Medicine Show and a partial Der Guber Wagen, but I'd love to have the complete series.

Finished a new one today. Color is Duplicolor medium charcoal with Tamiya clear. The wheels are stripped, painted steel and cleared, then highlighted with chrome pen.

Ollie's for $15.99

Just finished this one today. The body was warped when I got it, and I tried to straighten it out, but it's still a little off. Duplicolor paint. Really simple kit, originally meant to be motorized and lit. I tried to make inner door panels, but they didn't fit into the interior.

Whoops! Should have gone to under glass. Sorry!

Finished this today. Gotta say, I think it's some of my best decal work. Color is Now brand gloss black, very little polishing necessary.

These look great! Good idea!

Looking good! I want one of these.

This one

Looks fantastic. I wonder about using a thin, light battery and small motor to make it actually hover... Might be a fun project some day.
