What do you mean the taillight panel wouldn't be like the resin? Comparing the Star Model taillight panel with that of the Belair Sport Coupe in this brochure picture other than the distance between light bezels, there's no difference. If that isn't the issue, explain your point in a more concise manner.

Solution: Remove the B-pillars and turn it into a Belair Sport Coupe. Besides, I didn't read anything in Geno's posts that indicated he specifically mentioned a sedan. Tail lights too close together. Move the inner bezels toward the center of the panel and obtain the correct spacing. Measure and cut off enough panel toward the center, measured from the inner edge of the bezels, equaling the correct distance from the outer bezels, flip the cut parts around and done. I'm a genius, figuring this out on the fly as I looked at the Star tail panel details. So, let's not go off on tangents about this, that and the other. Geno wanted to know about a tail panel for a '60 Belair. Biscayne/Belair 2 Door Sedans, same thing. Then get the '60 Biscayne Sedan from MCW. Correct roof line for a sedan, B-pillars, tail panel w/correctly spaced lamps: See, the Star Models body is only 28 bucks, plus around 7-9 bucks for shipping. The MCW sedan kit is $55, including shipping. If one plans on using the Revelloogram guts to stuff under the body, the Star body is a better option than spending the additional 20 or so dollars for extra parts one won't/doesn't need. The correct distance between the tail light bezels also doesn't, in my opinion, justify the extra cost.

Ready-made, just stick a a Revellogram chassis under it: '60 Chevy 2Dr Sed.

Penny wise and pound foolish. After the Great Blizzard of 1888, March 11-14 (when two to five feet of snow fell on NYC and drifts as high as 30 feet occurred), the city required that electric, telephone and telegraph infrastructure be placed underground because the weight of the heavy, wet snow caused the lines, which were strung on utility poles, to be snapped and destroyed. The blizzard also hastened the construction of the subway because the elevated system was completely immobilized. For a city as large as NYC, there are very few charging station locations. Solution: knock the kick plate out of a lamp pole and charge courtesy of the city. That's how we plugged in TV's and stereos at the park to entertain ourselves while having keg parties.

It's there: 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser 4D Wagon just out of stock, like everything else one might be interested in buying.

Between bike lanes (Which, on any given day in any neighborhood are rarely used. Only stupid, interloping flyover state transplants from tract housing communities in Wiscovaniabraskagon need instructions painted on the street to tell them how to ride bikes in traffic. Real New Yorkers grew up riding in traffic and know how to handle themselves.) squeezing traffic into one lane each way on two-way streets and major intersections, like Times Square, being converted into pedestrian plazas/butt parks for lameasstic tourists to wallow in and completely closed off to any vehicular traffic, almost 80,000 Uber/Lyft and other B.S. car services clogging the streets, to the detriment of yellow cab drivers who had to pay upwards of $1,000,000 for their medallions (and now, virtually worthless. Six taxi drivers committed suicide last year because they watched their life savings go down the toilet because the value of said medallions has nosedived to less than a quarter of what they are in hock for due to the obscene overabundance of the for-hire services.), it is a living hell to get around. All this is a diabolically calculated move by the city government to discourage private ownership of automobiles and make people dependent on mass transit, ie, buses and subways. It takes the M42 Crosstown bus over an hour to travel 42nd St. from 1st Ave., by the U.N. Building, to 12th Avenue. Forty-Doo Wop Street is only 2 miles long east-to-west. Never mind the subways. Because of deferred maintenance, neglect and fiscal mismanagement, up to 20 of the 23 subway lines are either shut down at night, weekends and experience long delays because of repair work. Of course, if you happen to be the present mayor, you get police escorts, causing even more traffic, from Gracie Mansion to the YMCA in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn so you can get your daily workout in. Or, you can abuse your position and misuse city resources by commandeering a NYPD helicopter for non-governmental business to fly you into Prospect Park if you're really in a hurry.

That's not utopia, that's dystopia; a post-apocalyptic, totalitarian nightmare already becoming a reality here in New York City.

Testors ELO doesn't damage resin if used properly. I've used it to remove enamels and lacquers from resin without any deleterious side effects to the parts. Just brush the stuff on, wait until the paint wrinkles, scrub, reapply if necessary. DO NOT immerse the parts in it.

Done! Check your email. You'll have more than enough for reference material. Just in case that you aren't familiar with the site, Prime Portal is the best photographic reference on the web for all types of military equipment. There are 24 links to the M1070 on site, with tons of photos.

The cab looks good. If you'd like, I can provide you with D/L links for all of the tech manuals (-10/-20/-24/-34) and and technical bulletins for the M1070 and M1000 trailer. I use them as references to super detail the Hobby Boss 1/35 M1070 HET. The frame is pretty involved and contains many details which would be visible in 1/24 and the manuals come in handy.

My older brother owned a Highway Yellow 1964 Morris Minor 1000 4-door. Not a bad car; but, NYC potholes beat the snot out of the suspension.

Save some geld and get a pint of IPS Weld-On 3 Acrylic Adhesive. Sixteen bucks for one pint, as opposed to $4-$6 for a 2 oz. bottle of Bondene or Plastic Weld. This is the same as Bondene and I find it an excellent adhesive.

The penny in question was one of twenty made from copper, not bronze. If you were referring to the recent auction, it didn't pan out as expected: Rare World War II-era penny flops at auction

NYPD never has used yellow lettering on any vehicles. Period. End of story. FDNY uses gold, not yellow, in its graphics. NYPD Bomb Squad: FDNY hasn't used the Maltese Cross emblem on its apparatus in years. The ones on the lower right are correct: The DSNY logos on the right are correct for garbage trucks and other vehicle. Highway Patrol emblems are seen on some RMP's; although, most newer cars don't carry them. The decals below the FDNY Maltese Crosses are older style Taxi & Limousine Commision taxi medallions. Good for use on pre-2008 cabs: The TLC shield to the right of the crosses is actually a enforcement police uniform patch. TLC vehicles are unmarked. Makes it easier to bust unlicensed gypsy cabs. The NYC Parks leaf can be found on the hoods of older fleet vehicles: Newer vehicles sport a leaf decal with a different style and color: The Staten Island Ferry decal is incorrect. Besides, there aren't any vehicles specifically assigned to it. Staten Island ferry is operated by NYC Dept. of Transportation (NYC DOT). The red decal is nolonger used. It's been replaced by this: The Times Square decals are actually street signs and would not be used on any type of vehicle. The "Don't even think about parking here" decals are typical smartass NYC humor. They're posted, with other similarly wiseguy-worded signage, in restricted areas:

Those NYPD graphics are bogus. Chalk it up to lack of proper research. "86" the alleged NYPD decals. Neither NYPD, ESU, Harbor Patrol, Highway Units, pre-1995 Transit Police Department, pre-1995 NYC Housing Authority Police Department nor any Auxiliary Police vehicles ever used black or yellow markings. Check out PoliceDecalShop on ebay. He produces decals for every NYC LE agency conceivable, plus numerous PDs from across the country. The graphics are 100% accurate and are outstanding. If you don't see any decals on his page at present, keep checking regularly. He's out of stock and is in the process of producing new sets.

I dunno, Richie. Mike "The Sports Pope" Francesa is from The Island and he sounds like he's from another planet: Daw (door), Jagwah, arear (area), Ronkonkamar.

That site you are referring to is for the paints/finishes only. Totally separate from the resin stuff. MCW Automotive Finishes was purchased by the owner of Wings Wheels and Waves, in Massilon, Ohio. It's stated on the MCW site: Wings Wheels and Waves is now the proud owner of MCW Auto Finishes. Same great products and the same great service. Check the order form. It clearly indicates NO RESIN. One still needs to go to the link I provided to order resin kits and such.

.016" aluminum sheet is perfect. I use it to form door skins, hoods landing gear doors, fuselage sections, among other things. Don't know where on Lawnguylant you're at; but, check for a Blick Art Materials store near you. They carry a full line of K&S metal sheets, forms and other good-to-have stuff. The .016" aluminum sheet (6x9") costs about six clams.

At the risk of repeating myself, go get some Mr. Hobby Mr. White Surfacer, available in 500/1000/1200. 100% opacity and no bleed-through from dyes found in certain colored styrenes used by the different model companies. Mr. Hobby is also available in gray, black and red oxide up to 1500. I used the 1000 white surfacer to prime a red Johan Desoto Adventurer body. The red styrene formulation Johan used to make various kits was/is notorious for leaching dyes. Mr. Hobby is the best primer I've ever used to prevent this leaching through primers and paints. The true test to measure the opacity and coverage of this, or any other, surfacer/primer is to hold one of them fancy-schmancy mini flashlights with a high intensity krypton bulb against the body/parts and turn it on. If the beam doesn't penetrate or shows through allowing the color of the plastic to be visible, it ain't gonna leach. The coverage and absolute opacity of the Mr. Hobby Surfacer is so complete that the light beam is completely blocked. Doubt it? Try this and see for yourself. If you think my tip is a waste of time, spray your parts flat black.

No, Third. By virtue of electronic data harvesting, law enforcement and the military, via those wonderful folks at the alphabet soup-acronymed intelligence agencies, are essentially shacking up with you. The least they could do is bring beer.

Penny farthings for rent Dress like Snipesy, the lovable, homicidal 19th century newsboy and gleefully pedal to the waterfront to meet the three-masted schooners bringing fair trade civet poop coffee beans to your favorite Ye Aulde artisanal cafe Est. fifteen minutes ago. With any luck, Snipesy will end up under the wheels of a Cafe Bustelo delivery truck after blowing a red light on Atlantic Avenue.

It's not the software and this isn't a recent issue. This has been going on for a long time. The hardware built into the phone makes tracking, among other insidious things, possible. This is why DoD was required to cease purchases of, and remove, telecom equipment from a Chinese company. The phones were used to spy on U.S. national defense assets. If you've been following the news, Google is guilty of invasive data harvesting and the company execs have been raked over the coals during Congressional testimony over this very issue. BTW, all them new cars loaded with fancy-schmancy technology are peaching on you just as well. It's like spilling your guts to an informant of Stasi, KGB and Gestapo every time you get in and drive to the store or strip club. That ephemeral "they" knows about every facet of your day-to-day, minute-by-minute activities and you cheerfully give up this information without "them" having to resort to rubber hoses and car batteries. Makes those nasty, ancient, pre-computerized cars you ditched for power everything and voice-activated creature comforts look not so bad in retrospect. Hell, anyone using Metrocards to pay subway and bus fare in NYC has their movements tracked whenever one swipes it at a turnstile or bus farebox. Surveillance cameras on/in buildings, traffic lights, streetlamps, trees, etc. monitor your activities from lighting up a smoke to scratching your rear. Your First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendment rights are violated every day and nobody thinks twice about it. Sad.

Turning off or removing apps won't stop your phone from tracking your movements. Neither will turning it off. This isn't tin foil hat conspiracy stuff. That's the technology built into each iCrap, Android, etc. Your privacy is being invaded every second. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/your-smartphone-can-be-tracked-even-if-gps-location-services-are-turned-off/ Now, don't you all feel better knowing this?
