Ya, it’s a thing, haha. I sold off 200 kits and still have over 800, if that wasn’t bad enough, I got into HO scale trains and all of the cool stuff that goes along with that, so, ya, I guess I’m no help🤣

These are scale finishes color shift paints over a semi gloss black

For what you’re into for versus what it’s worth open is still a huge profit if you sell it, as long as there is a kit in that box, you win 😁

Our corporate thing is quite funny to me, the parent company owns a lot of car dealerships, like over 100 of them, almost all of them are in major metro areas, where as my place of employment is kind of in the sticks, ‘we’ know what works and what needs to be done, but have to follow the corporate structure, you can imagine the crazy things that happen due to that.

And the saga continues…, so I get to work this morning, and we do everything on computer, punch in/out, flag on and off jobs etc., so I fire up my pc, log in, punch in, get all my daily work tabs up and going, message comes up, corporate needs to update my machine, shutting down in three minutes, they got me 3 times today with this, uh, you had all weekend to do this, and you gotta get me first thing on a Monday?? Once that was done fooling around, the GM site needed updating, and then was lethargic….., happy Monday🙄

Ah, the joys of auto repair…., been doing it since 1987, GM dealerships, have seen a lot of crazy things/repairs/co workers and customers. I think my favorite part is the disconnect between people and their vehicle, the general public has no clue what is in their vehicle technology wise. Years ago, I could remember all the trouble codes and could track issues down rather quickly, today, there are as many trouble codes as there are nuts and bolts in a car, pure insanity really. Add in the era of instant gratification we now live in, people don’t understand why we can’t fix it in ten minutes, because our scanner tells us what’s wrong. Infotainment systems suck, not only do I need to understand how the cars system works, I gotta be a cell phone tech as well. I also find it funny that manufacturers put all these safety features in vehicles, but then strap a big screen tv to the dash so you can be distracted by that….. ya, fun time to be a wrench😁

Thanks guys😎

The distributor/wires is a premade unit from Morgan automotive details and the wire looms are from model car garage

WOW!

Great looking build, I like the matte finish, and the engine looks great as well.

That’s pretty sweet!

Thank you for the comments everyone.

That looks fantastic! I’m working on the version of that using the revell kit, good stuff. But I too am dreading detailing the chassis/suspension lol

Built this a few months ago, I really like the plow part of the kit, pretty nice in my opinion.

Love this! Well done.
