Well, considering that we originally started using Testors Silver, then graduated to Bare Metal Foil, and most now use Sharpie Silver Pens or Molotov Pens, this is a good option. And most, if not all, window trim was stainless steel, not chrome. And it does look shiny enough in that test pic. And given that it is Tamiya, the quality issues experienced with Bare Metal are most likely not there. I am sure Tamiya will eventually expand it to shinier material as time goes on.

Well, it does say "Aluminum Stickers", so.... 🙂

The ad popped up Instagram and I checked it out. Yes, prices too good to be true! How can this be? So I called the number they provided, it was for a hobby shop back east that had a answering machine saying it was not their ad and they where not responsible for people trying to buy from it. And please don't leave a message about it!

I remember someone telling me that the SSlasher kit still had most of the part for the Chevelle Street Funny Car, and I wonder if they are still there? Pity they won't back date it to the '71 model.

Looks like the current assortment at any Michael's craft store. The same things they've had for years!

It is a "Short Nose" Z. I think it is just the way the grill insert is sitting that is throwing people off. -

Is Super Shop Real?
Daddyfink replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They used to be quite popular, and then it all fell apart around the mid 90's https://www.supershops.com/about/
