Ditto...and all my caches are clear on all my browsers and I've already upgraded to the o-so-much-mo-better "New Chrome". EDIT: And right now it's glitching like mad, dumping edits, etc. I'll be surprised if this posts.

The simple fact is that print media, and professional journalists in hobby fields, simply cannot compete with the somewhat unfortunate "democratization" of information distribution on the internet. Never mind that most of it's repetitive me-too-me-too drivel, and that a lot of those presenting themselves as experts just flat aren't. The lowest common denominator always seems to win out eventually in just about any human endeavor. I personally won't miss Model Railroader if it's gone forever though...much as I hate to say it. Last time I picked up a current issue, it was just a shadow of what it was in the glory days, like all the hard-core hot-rod mags that got de-contented and dumbed-down to the point of being useless to a serious participant in the field. The world is locked in a TLDR short-attention-span death spiral of intellectual laziness and incessant rebleating by the ignorant. And most of 'em don't know anything better ever existed...or care.

Very nice indeed.

The '55-'59 Chevy pickup frame is pretty flat too. Though this is an aftermarket setup with IFS, the configuration of the rails is stock. Here's one cheap https://www.ebay.com/itm/115941939321?

The '53-'56 Ford pickup chassis has almost no rear kickup, and these frames are readily available in reasonably priced kits. For reference, here's the OEM frame for your truck. https://www.dodgesweptline.org/tech_ref.htm

"Me me me me me me me me me me me me me..." is the sum total topic of conversation of some folks I know.

Well that sure bites a big one. Kalmbach started in 1934 with a very few pages stapled together into what would become Model Railroader Magazine, a major resource for that hobby for several generations that could read and liked and understood mechanical things.

Say da what wit da who?

Cash will no longer be an acceptable medium of exchange if some folks who "know how to make everything better" get their way.

Here's a kit history vid that maybe shows which versions have what. Sorry, but I don't have a half hour to watch it.

Yup...apparently some do, some don't This one doesn't... https://www.manualslib.com/manual/586640/Revell-70-Ford-Torino-Cobra.html#manual

Kane, the character in Citizen Kane, was played by Orson Welles.

The bundle-of-sausages exhaust system has always stopped me from building one of these. I have several of Mad Mike's pieces, and they are, as here, really exceptional. Guess I need one of these little DOHC Fords too.
