Can-Con

FWIW, I think you're right about no one noticing the difference in the decals. We here are "The Lunatic Fringe" and notice such things, 90% or more people who are , lets say, "not as invested" as us would never know the difference.

I'll have to try that later Bill. Thanks.

Don't seem to have a problem in other threads though. "Strange thing" that it's only that thread. Keeps saying page can't be found.

How having the same "page can't be found" message as Daniel when I try posting in the Stranger Things Blazer thread.

Never looked right to me.

Hood and grille are different. IIRC, the seat sew patterns are too but not sure. , , Hey, you asked.

I'm bett'n Revell will be in the near future as a carry-on from the "Stranger Things" Blazer seeing the way the kit frame was layed out.

Those old Revell '57s always had a strait axel gasser front end included as an option, I can't imagine they would have blocked of the runners for it as it's still in the hardtop kit.

They are raised on the seating surfaces. I'm pretty sure those seats are from am old Revell van kit. I won't be using any of that interior on this build.

Haven't really thought that far ahead yet.

Yea, I think I remember Bob telling me it's from the very early '80s. I think he'd approve of what I have in mind. ,, and he came off as a bit of a "sour apple" himself sometimes but he was a great guy when you got to know him.

Started in depth on this one today. The truck was gifted to me by a friend who passed a couple years ago. Sat in limbo until now as I'm missing the stock bumpers, which another friend may have a set to replace them. As you can see, she's a bit rough. So far I've done a bit of cutting and a mockup with the wheels and tires to check the planned stance. Going with the fleetside bed as it will be 2-tone with the chrome trim separating the colors. Looks like all I'll be using from the original kit will be thee cab.

Yea, that's Canada Post. The rules were changed a few weeks before they went on strike but they weren't as strict about listing everything in the box separately . They didn't get their way with the strike and were ordered back to work so now they're doing everything strictly "by the book". Just think, some kits have upwards of 1000 parts. Great fun. I think this will make Canada Post virtually unusable for parcel mail. No one's gonna want to go to that much extra effort just to send a model somewhere.

Thanks everyone. starting to feel better now.

It's knee deep in those videos on YouTube. They all have the header "First Look: 2015" or some version of that but it's all AI fantasy. Some of them look pretty good though.

Um, Pretty sure it's Quebec north of Maine, Ken We're east of Maine. 😉

Feeli'n kinda under the weather right now so I'm just posting some pics for now.

Good luck finding one though. A lot easier finding one of the '32 roadsters. Same kit except for the body so the same stock wheels. Sounds like you want a set for a rod with the slicks though. Personally, I'd get a set of the printed ones. The stock wheels in the '32 kits scale out to about 18 or 19 inches. I doubt you'd find those slicks that big.

I know how you feel. When people see my T/A there's about a 50/50 chance they tell me I should paint it black. 🙄

Ray's has them.

They're the stock wheels that came on the kit but I widened them with some resin rims I cast years ago.

Hi, Steve. Thanks, Those wheels. They're actually the stock wheels that the kit came with but I widened them with resin rims.

I kinda figured it was just a misunderstanding, Les, It seemed a bit out of character as I know you're usually not like that. Personally, I'm one of those who usually never watch model car videos on YouTube unless I want to see what's in the box and his videos are useful for that. But I do watch them with the sound off. 😉

No worries Steve, I know you can take care of your own house but I'd have said that no matter who it was aimed at. I just read it as downright rude and there was no need of it.
