Only kind of stash that's worth it's weight IMO. Steve

Oh good! Another Mustang kit! I'm giddy! Steve

Pretty sure it's the same here in Minnesota. Consider yourself lucky that they're not assessing the cost of the street expansion to you Jeff! Steve

It is kind of wonky. But that's how the truck looked. Maybe something a little later. Steve

Yeah, but who wants diecast! Steve

Make it a Olds 98 Holiday Coupe or 98 convertible and I'm with you. Steve

AMT 1965 Ford Galaxie, '70 Impala and 1937 Chevy kits. Steve

No interest in this "ramp truck" for me. I would however be delighted to see any '50s or '60s vintage Dodge half ton. Preferably one of these. Steve

No pictures, but I had an individual give me a package of fresh caught Minnesota walleye at work on Friday, so tonight I fried some up, along with some roasted Brussels sprouts and carrots and a mixed green salad with blue cheese, bacon and pear and grape tomatoes from the garden. If you've never had fresh walleye, you're missing one of the worlds great delicacies! Steve

Thanks a million guys!! I think I've finally finished up all of the scratch building of parts on this project. The tail pipes are plastic rod drilled out and bent to shape. The dome light bezel is a slice of styrene tubing sanded to shape, and the lens is a piece of clear sprue. The sun visors are made from styrene sheet cut and sanded to shape with a thin piece of stretched sprue added to the outer edge to represent the "seam/piping". Steve

Thanks so much guys! I really do appreciate the kind comments. Just a little 2 part epoxy. Steve

I probably have a couple hundred I suppose. I don't have a huge stash because I don't buy multiple kits and I don't buy stuff that I think is kinda, sorta cool. I buy models that I have a good possibility of building at some point. I don't need a lot of extra junk that my family is going to have to get rid of eventually. Steve

Gorgeous build Anders. You always put out some high quality stuff! Steve

Okay. The interior is finished!! I'll just have to add the door lock buttons before the interior makes it's final trip into the body. Getting closer! Steve

Thanks guys! Sorry to put you through that Gareth! Anyway, the console is now in. Steve

Thought I would add a couple of shots as the interior is re-assembled. The rear seat, door panels and dash are now in place. I've also added the pedals and carpet protector. Steve

At some point, I will definitely be doing a '57 Ford Fairlane in either "Inca Gold" and "Silver Mocha", or "Coral Sand" and "Silver Mocha". 2 of the most beautiful combinations available on the '57 Fords in my opinion. Steve

Once upon a time, I was going to do a Moebius '53 Hudson in Phoenician yellow with a metallic medium brown top. The actual color was '57 Ford "Silver Mocha". Steve

I agree with that completely, but hey, I guess there's no accounting for taste. Steve

Thanks a bunch guys! I'm well underway with the assembly of the interior. I'll post pics when it's finished. Actually, the battery is exactly as it came from the AMT '62 Catalina kit. Terminals, hold down and cables were all molded onto the part. All that I did was shave off the cable detail, drill holes in the terminals, add my own cables and paint it. Steve

That's beautiful David! The color is perfect for it!! Steve

I agree. An after market wheel, is an after market wheel. If you want to put a 22" wheel on a '55 Chevy, you had better plan on making modifications. Even using a wheel from a different kit is likely going to require some mods. It's all just part of what we do. Steve

That's the problem. The last post in that thread was in March of 2019. Nearly a year and a half ago. Not really relevant any more. Steve

Thanks guys! I appreciate your interest. It took a little piddling around, but other than what I've missed, I believe that the chassis and engine bay are basically finished. (tail pipes to be added later) Got the engine in place, added battery and cables, steering box, (with hydraulic lines) master cylinder and heater hoses. That should pretty much fill up the engine compartment. Also got the radiator and bulkhead in place. On to the interior. Steve

Not to mention an expensive one! If I recall correctly, the entire ball of wax was offered in the 7 figure range. Steve
